    Default Holy cow, lottery

    The Mega Millions lottery jackpot here in California is 250 million dollars. 250 million dollars. Needless to say, I went out and bought some lottery tickets earlier.

    When was the last time you spent money on a lottery? And when was the last time you actually won something? If you won $250 million, what would do with it?

    I once won 10,000 with a fake lottery ticket.

    I've never spent money on the lottery. If I had 250 million dollars I would not know what to do with it.

    I've never bought a lottery ticket before. Everytime it gets really big I think that I should buy one, but then I never get around to it. It's proably just as well, I would never win.

    I would set it up in payments over the next 25 years. each payment would be divided into several different investments.

    First thing I'd set up would be a trust fund for me daughter. Second thing would be several apartment complexes in nearby urban areas. Third thing would be land and building materials to construct a home and stables for my family. Fourth thing would be about half a dozen head of horses.

    The rest of the money would be put into intrest bearing investments paying dividends monthly to supplement my income since I'll keep working so that I won't get bored.

    Then I'd bring my family over here and set my Dad up with a Forge and my Mom with some kinda sales business. Everybody except my younger brother in law. He can keep workin in Alaska. cuz he'll be a bum otherwise. and a mooch.

    "Scratchers" are fun, indeed.

    I've come to the conclusion that I will never win the lottery, although when I turn 16 I will still play it.

    If I won 250 million then I'd give a lot of it to charity, buy my relatives and friends houses and invest the rest for my own house and to live off for the rest of my life and never have to work again.

    I would buy every llama on the planet. Then I'd buy Spain and turn it into an enormous llama ranch. And Portugal, for the alpacas.
