I once won the lottery, it was like $3B.
I flushed the ticket down the toilet, as did not want it to influence my beloved character.

That kind of money and I’d buy GSC3 a new car for full price and not give a damn about the advertised price.

$1.13B prize
$537.5 cash
$339M net assuming 37% tax rate
$339M net lessened if state has income taxes

$339M if in FL
$339M at 8.00% return after taxes is $27M/year, $2.25M/month, no need to touch principal

I hope the winner is smart enough to hire an investment expert and remains anonymous and keeps their mouth shut otherwise their life will become a giant mess.

In the fine print, he would have 8 years (or 84 months) to pay you back.

I would either pay off daughters house or build them a new one and a few million dollars
buy our late sons GF her apartment or another,what ever she wants
give both my sisters at least a million dollars each,maybe 2 million or more and pay off their homes
help almost all nieces and nephews ....buy other 3 town homes in our building and tear it down and build a home on the beach....relax and do whatever the hell I want to do.
And of course donate to many charities .

I’d immediately buy the 110 acres behind me and the 40 acres across the street.

I would spend at least a million on trucks and tractors and equipment. I also would hire a couple of full time farm/construction workers. And hire staff to help out around the house.
I’d also build another barn to house my corvette and classic truck collection.

DAY ONE: I would make Chemdawg immune from bannage, but allow everyone else immunity in piling on.
