I'd apply it to what I owe, just as far as it would go. Later--HUBBARD

Gotta watch the video Hub .................. At least he is going to buy a new truck

Hmmmm.... what would I do.  Maybe try to settle some underlying concerns ?

[iski]

I would never run out of beer or donuts again.

share some donuts?

share some donuts?

Sure.


Wonder if the Hooters gals would like to play ring tos... nevermind.

[Twolanerider]

Donuts and Hooters girl donut ring toss.  That's an image to warrant some underlying concerns .

[miker]

I would spend some on cigars, booze, broads and bikes. 
The rest I would waste and have a reality show made about it.

[Boatman]

A customer with 4 dump trucks always stated if he won the Ohio lottery-"I'd buy a fleet of dump trucks and truck till it was all gone".

May you have many, many underlying concerns in this year's riding season.

Wow!  I don't think he could buy any better POT now, than he was smokin' on that video.  I think he was definitely high.  Just kiddin'.  I'm glad for him.  Hope he holds on to it better than that idiot that won it here in WV did.  Jack Whittaker.  $317,000,000.00.  They say he has run through the most of it in 5 short years.  Later--HUBBARD

Not that I feel sorry for the guy, but here's why both the Feds and State Tax guys love this lottery chit.

Cash payout was $164,000,000 
Max Federal tax rate is 38%
Max California tax rate is 12%

Do the math, the guy "won" $270,000,000 and will end up with $82,000,000. Not that I'm feeling sorry for him, but it ends u being about 1/3rd of the advertised payoff.

 I buy $10 worth of tickets every week. Drawing is on Tuesday and Friday nights. I'll be happy with a one with six zero's after it. That'd pay all my debts and leave enough left over to buy a couple bikes, a couple cars and a boat. Beyond that I can retire on 60% disbility pay with everything that's wrong with me.

I don't have any insatiable itching or burning,but thanks for asking.

[Hugh Janis]

I'd give it to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation......

First, I'd get a pair of chrome valve stem covers for the SEUC2 then I'd do some serious traveling and trick out my house.

[Keats]

Hopefully I would do better than Jack Whittaker,  how do you blow 114 million in cash in just a few years?

He had enough to buy half of the state and look at him now!

wow

How about buying Howie a new motor fully blueprinted?

[UglyJohn]

Maybe I could get the 110 fixed! Then I'd go to Disney Land.

I actually made a list thinking that like they teach athletes, that visualization would help me win.

I had $10,000,000 earmarked for charity, $10,000,000 for family, $10,000,000 for friends, $20,000,000 for my two daughters in trust, $20,000,000 in trust for me and the wife and I figured to blow about $10,000,000 or so up front on homes, cars,bikes, boats, furniture, etc and get it out of my system. I planned on giving Beagle $500,000 and he told me I better not give him a check cause he wasn't gonna pay gift tax. So I says " hey bro, I was talkin a brief case full of Benjamins "  He says " what the hell am I supposed to do with $500,000 in cash "   " you'll think of something" I told him

No

Can get the picture of the screen Duane but nothing will play.

Bob - it make a take a bit to load, and then you have to watch whatever the current commercial (30 seconds) is before the clip plays.


Asking "what would you do with 270 mil" was a rhetorical question, my post was more about watching the video and seeing just how excited the couple that won is.

[Boatman]

Maybe buy a little enthusiasm
 

Still can't get it to work but saw this and they must have been pretty low key.

For all the current 110 owners, I would buy them a spare CVO 110 bike of their choice.  For all 95 and 103 CVO owners, I would buy them a CVO 110 of their choice so we could share in their unfortunate pain.

What kind of animal is that?? lol

[SPIDERMAN]

Tonight's drawing is $12 million. That's about $3.7 mil cash after the tax man. I'm good with that. I've got 5 picks.

[arcticdude]

Hey-
If your drawings are Tuesday and Friday, I'm going to California- ours in Oklahoma are Wednesday and Saturday- You'll win before I even get a chance to draw!!!

[SPIDERMAN]

No winner last night. Probably be $18,000,000 for Friday

I have a buddy that just sold his little farm.

Started dirt poor as a kid, married at 17, lived in a 16' travel trailer with the new wife.

Still married after 33 years and lots of livin', just 51 now.

Anyway I know what he'd do, his wife said they were out looking at houses in Phoenix last week with his little profit from the farm.  $10m spec houses that is...............

Oh, he had 25,000 acres and netted $208m.  Who says farmin' doesn't pay?   

[ccr]

Quit our jobs, pay off all our debts.  I have a coworker who lost her home in the Katrina hurricane and she and her family are still displaced, so I would give her $150,000.  A cool M for my Dad and my husband's Mom.  Probably one for his and my brother too.  There are a couple of other family members and some friends we'd love to give a humble helping hand to - no fortune, just a grub stake.  Then we'd see a financial advisor and have them set up the accounting system that would provide us a comfortable living for the remainder of our days, to include a plan to care for us in our more fragile years. The remaining monies we'd like to set up housing - real housing for the returning vets from current and possible future wars, that are injured and need accomodations while they are getting hospital care, and their families that are dispalced awaiting their family members to be rehabilitated.  I figure that would exhaust any remaining money quick enough.  The charity would give us something to pour time and hearts into - we'd be so happy to help out here.  We could ride our bikes whenever we wanted to, where we want to.   

The story we heard on the news was that this poor family has been bankrupt twice, they live in a humble mobile home, they found out over the weekend that they have more needy family members then they ever knew they had.  I am afraid life has been so hard for them they don't understand what they have.  If they don't get a good finacial advisor, I am sure their money will not last long.  Too bad, cause they could live very well the remainder of their years.

Me and Beagle were talking about this. These folks showed up Saturday to pick up the check. No tax lawyer, no advisors. I would have taken me at least 3 or 4 days to get a team together to go get the money. If you watched the video you'll see they don't really understand how much money they got. Just a number with a bunch of zero's. Beags and I both think it's great they won vice some freakin Orange County Housewife, but the sad part is these folks will get bilked and milked till they're broke inside of 5 years.

So they will buy magic beans with their money & there won't be a beanstalk to climb.



Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys some great substitutes.
