Powerball, what would you do if you won?

[Itchigo]

Powerball is what- 550mil? What would you do if you won? Or, what would you do to win if you could? ;D

I don't play the  lotteries especially when it gets that high
you stand a much better chance at winning when the amount is much lower
as not as many tickets would be sold then
1. BUT if I did win I'd buy an arcade somewhere and stock it with every pin I could possibly find
then invite the all the pin crew that I know of over for a hell of a party!
2. buy my mom her own house and make sure she has enough to live on comfortably
 3. put up college education funds for my 1  niece and 4 nephews!
4. and drive around all of the United States hitting all the arcades along the way

That's the ONLY time I play. Hmm, I didn't win, but what to do, what to do....

I'd like to think I would do my best to keep it secret and go about life as normal (with maybe a few extra perks), and use the money to help people. It would become a hobby to find people who really deserve help and get them on their feet. And I would take more and better vacations.

I am dirt poor like I have NO income at all
send me any money you'd like!
I'll put it to good use (like paying bills) I promise

[Itchigo]

Shooby has the right idea. I'd pay someone to port vp to direct x 11! Support VPUniverse, buy a new place and a buttload of pins, have keggers with my friends every other night. DEFINITELY buy a new car. Not  that I dont love my little Escort, it's given me 17 years of good service so far. But hey, why not a GTO? Hell actually, I want a 37 Cord. Have since I was a small child. I was an old kid..... ;D

[faralos]

OMG you actually admit to driving an Escort? Aren't they like the Chevy Chevette?
Road worthy garden tractors IMO but hey I used to own an escort wagon
damn but they are tiny things! especially when you are around 6'2"tall!

I'm in no way rich. I drive a 10 year old Hyundai Accent, and my job doesn't pay a lot... but I enjoy my job and I'm very satisfied and comfortable in my life. It's simple. I like to read, meditate, work out, create art, play games, spend time with friends & family, kick my feet up & have a beer - you don't have to win the lottery and be rich to enjoy life on a daily basis. It's all in your head.  ;)

If I had extra money, you would be on the top of my list. I got screwed over by the IRS this year and they still owe me almost $1500 that I normally depend on. I didn't get to take a vacation this year, get my air conditioner fixed (I bought window units instead), or buy the new stereo receiver I was planning on, all because the IRS is stupid. They haven't been helpful at all in sorting this out, so I have my congressman on the case... he said he's doing what he can and will let me know. But hey, I realize there are others with much worse problems, so I do my best not to sweat it. Things could always be worse, so you have to appreciate what you do have.  :)

I said a very simple prayer.  I didn't want the entire 550 mil, but a small portion would do.  Enough to pay off our debts, remodel the house, buy Itchy a new car, and have some left over to make us more comfortable in our old age.  But I also asked that whoever the winner(s) were, that they truly needed the money and not some selfish already rich poser.
