The Fantasy

I realize it is truly a tax on the mathematically challenged, but the fantasy is too great to resist.

I bought my quick pick for the PowerBall today. Yeah, the odds are astronomical - but for a few hours I'll be imagining what I could do with the $96 million cash pay out.

Pay off the bills, spoil my friends and family, set up a scholarship fund for the nephews and nieces....

What would you do?

The husband and I have this all figured out from our many previous failed attempts to win the MegaMillions jackpot. We'd quit our jobs, find a nice house on the beach and then establish & run an organization for homeless dogs. No furs, jewelry or speedboats for us, LOL. I'd still blog, of course. {wink}

What would I do if you won the Powerball millions? I'd immediately work on convincing you how much you need me, of course. :)

I'd hide since all the democrats would feel that I don't NEED it and take it to give to Shaquana and all her 40 different children.

Actually I'd split it 8 ways.. give one portion to each of my family members .. bank the rest.. and keep on doing what I'm doing. :)

I'd setup my one brother who hasn't caught one break in his life.
I'd setup my Mother because she has nothing after bailing out my youngest brother all his life.
I'd go back to school. Wyotech and UTI to learn to become a car builder and customizer.
I'd move the Hell out of Iowa.
The summer after I win, I'd take my Adopted Daugher to see her birthplace in Korea and maybe find her birth parents.
Maybe I'd buy the local paper anc fire all the biased editors and reporters.
Start up a gun collection. Get a license so I can own a Thompson.
Finish up my T-Bird as a custom cruiser. Then start on a all out drag strip terrorizer T-bird with a BIG V-8.
Maybe pay to have Dan Rather pied.

I forgot, I'd also personally deliver a big box of cash to "Da Goddess" and to the "Downtown Chick" to help them through their tough time.
