    Record breaking 500 million lotto

    So the mega million didn't have a winner on Tuesday, and the jacket pot went up to 476,000,000 million and projected to be 500 when friday comes. I'm wondering anyone who's playing, what's some of this first things you would do with it and how much you'd spend right off the bat! I know id blow a couple million easily lol

    I'd probably send a huge percentage of it (up to $400mil) to a variety of my favorite organizations and efforts. And a pretty good amount to debunk HSUS. I'm not a crazy humble person or anything, but seriously, wth would I do with $500mil?!?! From there, I'd probably blow a few million, get myself a dream home and fully furnish it, and then invest the rest in schooling for me and my hypothetical descendants.

    My parents would have a new house and would never work another day in their lives...my brothers would be taken care of.

    I'm the type of person that could easily blow through that much money in a short period of time, so I always choose annuity option when I buy tickets...that way I'm at least guaranteed a check for the next 30 years. I'd definitely hire someone to handle my money and advise me in my expenditures.

    Im not gunna list everything i would do but one thing i would definetly do is finally be "that guy" who brings like $20K to an expo and just buys one of those really expensive snakes. Whenever a vendor has one on display for a crazy price like that, i always ask if they think theyll sell it. and they always say probably not but it makes a good display snake to get peoples attention. I wanna be that guy that just walks up and whips out a wad of cash and buys it lmao

    You know...this is not a bad idea...haha! I'll add this to my list of things I'd do if I won that much money!

    ...you think I could just BUY HSUS if I had that much money? And just...like...close them down?

    Lump sum, after taxes, you're looking at $220 million. First thing I would do is get set up for the following tax year, because it will be here before you know it.

    Then go to Vegas pull some of the most hedonistic crap since the reign of Caligula....
