You already know part of my plan haha....Im giving you an allowance! 😊

But after taking care of my family the first "big ticket" item I would definitely purchase is a residence outside of the US. Either in Europe or LATAM.

The first things I would do:
Get a really good lawyer
Get a really good financial advisor
Get a good tax person
Do whatever I could to become digitally invisible
I agree with the previous comment about new places to live

THEN HAVE LOTS OF FUN!

I've been playing Fantasy 5 instead, $5 at a time to be eligible for 2nd Chance. Odds of winning 5 out of 5 are 1 in 575,757, and it starts at $50k then moves up quickly.

For the same payout, Powerball odds are 1 in 913,129.18.

I can think of several things. Let's start with a month by month arrangement and go from there.

Return the love to all those that ever helped me or blessed me when I needed it. Donate to the woman’s shelters especially the ones for DV victims because I’ve been one before. Donate to the humane society as well because I love my fur babies and hate to see others stuck in the shelters and of I can’t adopt them all at least I can donate to the things they need.Last but not least I would buy a house with land to grow my own crop that isn’t filled with all the chemicals they feel the need to spray on our foods and invest the rest for my future

PowerBall Jackpot is 1.6 billion and change.

Cash payout is 735,000,000 million.


After Uncle Sam gets his 37% you're left with 436 million.

Still a nice chunk of change but you don't get the 735 million.



I know someone who Won 18.5 million and took the cashout his first payment was 355K than after each year it goes up a lil after his 4th payment he gets around 387K.
In 2026 it will go up a lil more

With the current Powerball being $1.6 billion, that is stupid level money.

I ran the numbers when it was $1.1, take the cash payout, pay the taxes at your age rate, shove it in the most basic safe 5% account. Do not and never touch the principle ever. Work 1 more year and you are living on $13 million a year.

Uh yeah, I could live on that and take care of others on the interest alone.

could help a lot of people and be a lot of fun

BUT ... would ya trade winning it (and all the stupid level of lil peen excesses) for a REDO of the last election to stop the harm being done (whatever that may be)... so Kamala would have won


this is for the people with real conviction on it and all the harm being done right now to all the people in the world.




it would be cool... but certainly at my age, i would trade it for something great. ... easily child cancers... early cancers ... cancers in general


its fun... i tend to only play when its big... meaning i say go get tickets and she says she got them... but pretty sure she is not getting them ... we never ever checked the numbers... if a winner was not in our city... it never got checked... which means, never ever checked them

yes, I would trade all of it for a redo of the last election as long as enough people would suddenly have enough common sense to NOT elect the trumpster fire.

I suppose I might also trade all of it to hire a really good SOF recon/shooter…


Naw, more seriously - I would buy myself a really nice boat to live on and maybe cruise the western seas, get a few more boats and water toys and a good amphibious car to serve as tender. Reserve enough money to cover my expenses for the rest of my life, another slice to stay in bank and investments as emergency reserve… and the rest (probably still more than half, likely more than two-thirds) would go to supporting various causes I think are worthwhile. And, especially considering the people I knew who have been taken too soon by cancer, research & development of cures for cancer are going to be high on that list.
