I would buy two Escalades.
I would pay the money the school district I graduated from needs to grind John Freshwater into the dirt.
I would pay to put my sister-in-law through college.
I would own new sticks every third spring.
Scotty Cameron would come to my mansion and personalize me a new putter.
Private box at Cleveland Browns Stadium so the wife and I can celebrate all proper like when they win the home AFC title game.
Give my son every opportunity his talents desire.
Hire the Laurie Berkner Band to play his birthday party.
Hire Billy Joel to play at my 10th wedding anniversary party.
No one I give a shit about would owe a dime.
I would set up a fund through Aultman Hospital for emergency patients with no health insurance.
I would introduce my son to golf on our new home course, Muirfield Village.
I would have the most luxurious camper in the parking lot at Bethpage State Park.
I would buy a minority stake in the Browns.

I think Istanbul is in Turkey. I don't think it's any part of our country. ;)

I would like to splurge a bit in mine. I'd buy a house in Cabo, as well.

I'd probably overdose on heroin or oxycontin within the first week, but if by some chance I didnt, I'd just go to school for the rest of my life and see how many bachelor's degrees I could get.

I'd by a Range Rover too and give money to cancer research and children's hospital's.....

I think God should let me hit lottery b/c the only harm I'd do is to myself and at the same time I'd do alot of good for others with the money. C'mon God.

Nah. If he worked that way, you're still behind the people who would give a lot to others and wouldn't harm themselves. :D

I would make sure my grandchildren had education funds which would guarantee their college, trade school, whatever educational choice they made, would be fully funded. I would give an equal sum to all four of my sons and their families. Then I would pay off our mortgage and every other outstanding debt we have, which at this juncture are nearly non-existent. after that, I think I would make a list of all the places we haven't been and my wife and I would do a little traveling. I think with some of the rest of the money I would put it into some tax sheltered annuities where I would only pay taxes on the amount we withdrew. After that, I would contribute generously to several charities that I think are really important personally.

Give some to charity, but not a lot. Yeah I'm a cheap bastard
Season tickets:
Floor seats at the Dean Dome
Reds
OSU football

And then maybe I'd give some to my parents. But what's the point in that? I'll get it back when they pass and neither one really needs it right now.
And then you'd take me on a vacation? ;)
Nope. Since you posted on here earlier, you can take me on vacation :)
Hate to tell ya wildcat, but if you hit the lottery.....you need to upgrade to a trophy girl.

It doesn't matter what I would want to do, because my wife would more than likely have a problem with it.

A guy calls his wife and says, "honey, pack your bags. I just won the lottery."

She asks, "where are we going?"

He replies, "I don't care where you go, just be gone when I get home from work."

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

Let's say my payout was $100 million.

- Pay off all out debt.
- Build a southern plantation style home on a big plot of land.
- Fence the entire property in.
- Help family out
- The 5-10%
- Fund a large building project at our church for all to enjoy. Want no credit.
- Build some stuff for the school where I work. I want all the credit, and I want to have all the say in how the money is spent. I would love to have the say, so I can piss the people who normally spend the money off :)
- Quit teaching, but work in the school somehow. I couldn't NOT work. Well, not forever.
- Get a nanny
- Have more kids, and have my wife be a stay at home mom.
- Buy a Segway.
