My odds are considerably better.

1 in 40.

But I'm only hoping to get one number correct. I have big plans for that $4.

Yes, unfortunately it is.. :(

I would first eat a 3lb bag of sugar free candy
Then I would go to work, sit in my daily morning meeting and when the boss does his typical tantrum, I would stand up on the conference room table, pull my pants down to my ankles, and cut the biggest, loudest, messiest fart I could produce.

Then quietly say good by buddy!

geeze, I already feel better...

If I won the lottery, I would make it my life's mission to understand women. What they really mean when they say things like, "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." "Just go out with your friends. Have fun." And other things...

If there is money left over, I'd flare my 930 to look like a 934, with a Bisimoto motor.

There is a book out to help with that WPOZZZ.

I would go out and buy an old D9, and promptly push my building over . I would then build my dream shop/warehouse . Then I would set about building all my dream cars one after one.
I would donate large sums to help families dealing with childhood cancer
I would of course spend much more time with my family

You'd have no money left. ;)

Just accept that they mean the opposite of what they say but only sometimes and you'll always be wrong no matter what.

I would amp up what I'm already doing to become one of the top 911 restoration shops in the country.

I would travel motion-style.

I would create an Education and Poverty lobby on Washington.

Well, the top prize is now $675,000,000. Lump sum of $412 million before taxes. After taxes, this would be somewhere near $245,000,000. I guess I could afford a Singer on that kind of money. :)

You would be better off creating an apprenticeship program & teach a restoration trade with the restoration shop, not all kids want to or are cut out for college.

I want to break the cycle of poverty and make sure all kids have the same opportunity in education from preschool through elementary school. The two are linked.

Or as I like to say to the guys and gals at work who collect money every week to buy 'group' lotto tickets (I always decline).

"You have better odds of being hit by lighting while being eaten by a shark."

Now back to dreaming...
So far on my list I have two nice DD cars, lifts, tools, and a couple old project cars.
A recording studio.
A HIFI listening room.
Add...
A wood working shop and a simple metal shop.

Oh and a 944 Chevy V8 conversion... already done... just because I always wanted one.

OK, with a cash payout of $245,000,000, what would you do other $240,000,000 after buying anything you ever wanted or needed ?

I think the obvious answer would be to help as many people as possible.....not the ones with thier hands out, the ones who are unsung heroes in everyday life (that would be cool to see how much of a difference you could make).

Hire a couple guys to take the old Motormeister jerk to task.

I would restore a privat rail car and travel behind Amtrak all around the country.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1452208948.jpg

Don't wanna be a buzzkill, but I have a bit of insight over human behavior and sudden windfalls from my plaintiff attorney days. I certainly have not been privy to seeing anyone get a quarter billion dollars, but I've seen amunts ranging from $100,000.00 to $16,000,000.00 and I can tell you without exception money only exacerbated/exaggerated a person's underlying character, good or bad. If they were eff-ups before they had the windfall they became even bigger eff-ups. Similarly if they had positive traits, they became even better people. And when I fantasize about hitti g the big lotto lick, I ponder what would be the traits that become even more apparent in me...good and bad.

I think it would take me a while to start buying expensive things.

Spending $5000 for a first class flight to Hawaii is a lot of money in my mind and that wouldn't change instantly over night, just because my bank account might.

I'm sure I'd get used to the idea a couple weeks/months down the line. Cars would be my downfall. I'll be the guy on those "Lottery Ruined My Life" shows with 300 cars behind me wondering why I'm broke. :)

Money doesn't build character; it reveals it.

IF I gave away a dime, it would only be anonymously, delivered through a third party and with an NDA attached, probably with a schedule too, so I could monitor whether they were keeping their mouth shut before the next gift installment.
