Talking What would you do with 222 million???

Randy came up with this idea. Seeing how the lottery is currently at 222 Milllion bucks, what would you do with it if you won??

First and foremost, two words...............SUPER SNAKE!

Yeah, I'm getting a GT 500 Super Snake! I'd also be going to the car auctions, and getting me some muscle cars!

Hook the family up, spread it around to my relatives...at least the ones I like, anyway!!LOL!

New house, big one.....but with an even BIGGER out building for all the toys!

Oh, yeah......I'd probably quit my job......

Pay off most of the debts, gotta keep a tax right off with the mortgage.

Put an addition onto the house for a bigger living room (20' x 26'). This would be timber framed like the old barns are. Finish off the exsiting basement with the two bedrooms that are currently planned and the basement in the addition would be finished off as the 'man cave' complete with a kick a$$ home theater system, rec room and an Irish bar for the family get togethers.

Build a garage to hold the vehicles and get some new toys. Like Pat, it will be some old muscle car classic iron.

Buy more land... can never have too much of that.

Spread the wealth by giving some money to family and taking a trip at least to Ireland with the wife's side of the family.

I am sure that there are more items but at least this is a start.

Have one hell of a party!

Well, Joe and I know what we are gonna do in 6 years when we have to move to Texas...We will have a very large plot of land that will be divided to start our Custom Auto Shop and Rescue/Boarding/Breeding facility of Gypsy Vanners, Quarter Horses and Mustangs!!!! Of course, all debts will be paid, some family will be helped out and a massive party will be held!!!


With the 222 million, this would all happen in way less than 6 years!!!
Joe and I would also get Lifetime Speedway Club memberships so we can attend many races, every year, VIP style all the way!!!!
Joe would get his Ferrari, I would get an Astin Martin Vantage and many others would join the family of vehicles!!!!
I have to say that regardless of the lottery won or lost--this will all be happening in 6 years, when Joes father retires!!! He has millions and has given us 6 years to do what we want here!!!!lololol

But, as long as you're buying Pat, I guess I'd go along...


If I won the lottery I'd be on the first airplane back to Montana so I could buy a nice big log house on 100 acres. I would have to add an outbuilding for a few toys, but not sure which ones I'd want... I'm sure I'd figure it out soon enough.

Would definitely share the wealth with family, and host all expenses paid fly fishing or hunting trips to all my FTE buddies.
