I'd live my life about the same as I'm living it now. Of course a new house would go without saying, but I'd pay off what few debts I got, wake up at 7 AM, go to work, come home at 6 PM. I'm not one to get carried away and live in the limelight; I'm quite comfortable falling off the face of the planet, with people asking "Where'd he go?" Travel across the country and to different spots in Europe would be on the list too though.

More money, more problems. I'd just live my plain old boring low key I'm-a-nobody life, just a lot more comfortably than I do now.

I'd do like jay and silent bob. Make a list of people who irritated me and fly around the country with hired goons to kick the **** out of them whilst I sat back with a cold one.

I would do what most everyone else has said, take care of my family. After that if there's any left I would travel the world and see all there is to see.

Gotta also remember that when you take the lump sum you lose like half of it, then you gotta remember bout taxes so lose another half so you would only have a little under 79 million dollars.

I would set my mom so she wouldnt have to work anymore, buy a nice chunck of land down in South Texas and then put invest the leftovers so i can continue to grow money... course all this comes after I do my truck the way i want it and get a 2007 250 when they come out.

Well, let’s see, if I won $315 million what would I do?

Chit, that’s easy. I would buy the Presidency and take care of business…


Since I wouldn’t have to worry about “paying” anybody back I would do everything in my power to:

1. Force personal responsibility on everybody.

2. Put people on any kind of federal program, who could work, back to work “forcefully” if need be.

3. Get rid of as much PC correct BS as well as make Christmas a federal holiday. The official term for the season would be ”Merry Christmas” and NOT Happy Holidays…

4. Clean all the cities of homeless by personally financing bus rides for the homeless to the desert, out of sight, out of mind I always say. Yes I would help them out a bit once they got off the bus. I would hand them a little bag of corn seed and tell them ”Plant this”

After the first week completing the above I would take a few days off to think about what else to take care of…

Oh, and at the Presidential inauguration I would have AC/DC, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, and a few other fine bands entertain me and my friends. You would all be invited…

Screw getting my degree... School sucks. I'd have a hell of a lot of fun, and so would everyone else around me.

First thing, go to the courthouse and change my name. That way all those worthless SOB family members couldn't come bum money. Then I would go shopping for minimum 5000 acres mix of swamp and timber, and hopefully river frontage. Then I would go to work for the last time, and tell everyone of those a$$-kissing punks what I think of them. Of course I would throw a few "moonings" in there also. Then I would go shopping, first stop the gun store, then to the boat store and then to the sporting goods store. Or I just might go to Springfield Mo. and hit up Bass Pro Shops. I would walk in the door, demand to see the manager and tell him I want one of everything, and make it snappy. While he was steppin' and fetchin' I would flirt with any hot chicas.

Once I got back to my kingdom, I would build a huge house, shop, hanger and runway/dragstrip, and possibly a road course. Of course all of this would be surrounded by 20' razor wire topped fence, if I don't want you here you ain't getting in. Then I would get busy building deer stands and duck blinds. When I wasn't out killin' stuff I would be in the shop makin' stuff. Then I would get to test it on my dragstrip. Life would be grand.

Joe

I would buy F150online and keep all the management and mods.
Whenever I post something they would have to reply "Yes Sir" or "No Sir".
I would never go to bed wondering if I was banned the next day.

There would also be a picture of a goat on the home page.
