If you won Powerball, what would you do in the first week after cashing your ticket?

Question

I am not looking for answers of how you would set up a trust or an LLC to avoid taxes and press coverage by being anymous or how you would invest to sustain the wealth. I want to know what you would buy, give (and to who), or spend to make you happy in the first 7 days of immense wealth (cash option is presently 92.7 Mil)

Answer 1

Beyond a great meal at the best restaurant for family and friends to celebrate the win, I'd be too busy setting up everything to even consider spending it.

Answer 2

Well after you picked me up off the floor, I would probably go nuts that first week! I would buy a house on the beach and nice car for my finance,step dautghter and myself.( of course being female there would be lots and lots of clothes shopping involved here) After that I would hopefully come back down to earth and get a lawyer to help me put the money into investments that would help sustain the money, avoid taxes and pay off all my bills! I would also put money into a trust fund for my step children, and since you are talking about 92 mil, I would give money to my family members.

Answer 3

After paying off bills ... I would invest in Procter N Gamble They are a steady investment...a long time ago I also would have invested in Gateway But I don't know now.... I also would probably invest in Mattel they made barbies for years and are still doing good...I know a lot of guys are coming back from overseas they will probably be buying vehicles of some sort motorcycles or ATV stuff like that... Also their families will want a nice place to be together for reasonable price so I think I would also get a nice Muilty family place and fix it up to rent it out to military families only .... Good luck...

Answer 4

Change my phone number
Request the lottery not have any publicity (probably wouldn't help, lottery winners are a matter of public record)
Pay off my house
Set up college funds for the kids
Pay off cars, buy a new one for me
Do all the stuff around the house that's on "the list"
Find someone to do the lawn and clean once a week

Then I'd be free to do everything and anything I wanted ALL DAY LONG.

Answer 6

Answer 8

I'd make sure my mother and siblings were taken care of financially. Then I'd send all my kids off to college and set up trust funds for them. Then I'd work out an itinerary for a traveling spree... shop like a maniac... eat like a king... hire a personal trainer to counteract all the calories... I'd start a charitable organization that works with young girls to encourage them to work toward careers in math and science.

Answer 9

I would give a share to God and help out the needy. I would quit working and buy people who I deemed worthy a new home and help them out.

I guess I would buy a house and such but I really want to play football so I'd hire a personal trainer to train me and try out for the NFL and IF I made it I would take the salary and donate it to the needy. I just want to play! oh somewhere in there I would give you some money because you gave me some hope that I can actually win! Thanks!

Answer 10

I would give 10% to local churches. 25% to my family(grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sister and FIRST cousins). 20%to charity.(Definitely one out of Tyler, TX that gets sick and injured truck drivers back to their homes). I would take 5% to give as tips. You know go eat and tip $1000 in a card that says have a nice day. I would buy a modest 3 or 4 bedroom house. I would try to live as much as normal as I could, except without the worry of money or going to work for someone else. Hubby would want to start buying trucks for a trucking company.(not me! to much work).
