I'd probably feel so sad considering the people and other animals who were homeless, injured in some way, or can't even provide for themselves in any possible way. I'd be broke helping people less fortunate. That's just my nature, and my demise..lol

If you win the jackpot, create a charitable trust. Transfer your winnings into the Trust and invest the money(blue chip stocks) until it grows to around $200 Million. From there, buy a $100 bond portfolio and use the interest to help the homeless shelters who would provide food and housing. This will protect your wealth from estate taxes, as well as keep family members from claiming it for themselves.

This would be a private trust whereby I lend money to an organization that will invest the money in blue chip stocks. Once the money has doubled, they give back the difference(money I loaned plus interest) back to the trust. The rest of the money is theirs to keep. If at all possible never do a cash donation as it will be considered a gift tax. Loaning the money avoids the gift tax because they must pay it back.

Big win like a billion or like 3 millions? I'd buy a nice house and a good car first. The money should be sufficient for a nice and quiet life until death. I wouldn't stay here, there is a to big passage and flow of asians and africans.

The billion dollar prizes don't come around all that often, but sure why not? The poll is what wouldn't you buy, so if you'd buy a nice house and good car, you wouldn't buy a crappy house and bad car. Get something in the countryside, love those (see The Quiet Man) straw roofs where the bugs drop into your soup. Do they still make those little French cars that sound like they're making popcorn? There was a time when we had three or four kinds of French cars selling over here, now there are none, wonder why?

When I was in my twenties, I bought a second hand car in a Mercedes garage. An old Renault 5 1.1 TL. I usually thought 1.1 Teelöffel, means teaspoons, but it consumed, only was low in insurance and taxes. The wheels were big and downwards with wind in the back it could do 160 kmh. You wouldn't survive a crash, I suppose. But, for the city, a parking was easily found and curves were no problems. - There was the Diane, later the Charleston. The Diane had these seats like those old garden-chairs with a cloth. I didn't buy that one, I could have bought it, would buy it today because it is an oldtimer and still driving! Breaks were not so great but at snailspeed, that's okay! - The car makers started with electrical and hybrids. Renault has the Twizzy and they produced Twingo as smallest car. The others also produced very small cars like the 105. Than came Hyundai with the Matiz and FIAT always was there with the 500 that became bigger and is very popular. Women love that car. There also was that Panda car, like 34 years ago. - The old Deudeuche let air inside. You felt it in the winter. The french cars often had the bad steel or finish, the reputation was bad carrosserie. On the others side there is Opel and Vokswagen. The BMW and Mercedes are more in the luxury for rich people. Yes, there is Ford too. The german tanks had Ford engines. ... ... You buy according to your budget, not according to what you want or wish. I just get bus- or traintickets. Busses are cheaper. - I walk, my bicycles were stolen, only one wasn't as I was taking care of that it couldn't get stolen all the time. ...

I bought the R5 for 50000 belgian franks. A deutsche Mark was like 20 belgian franks.

I think that I could do 80 kmh uphill a mountain on the autoroute. I didn't mind if a truck was faster.

"Species have the SAME GOD"

Each god is made at the image of his species that created his god. Therefore those are different as they belong in different places. Maybe I should donate my wins to move them to the other continents. Do I sound like D. Trump? We also have got a party for that. Mostly the countries are named to not say the species? That used to be the work-around? ... If I win big, I won't buy any slave. Americans did the error that I won't do. You didn't get any refund, so you still have them! ...
There was a proposition for making wars. You first build a wall around the country and after that you throw the mother of all bombs and such. Reason of war? Like the diaspora of the jews? The capture of a German? The shootings in Russia? Britain colonializing? The diaspora of africans and asians? ...

And the WINNER IS so far the Hunter Biden Painting as the very last thing people would buy when they win more money then they know what to do with.

Will the Hunter Biden Painting stay in the lead or will it sink like a lead anchor.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Did you know: Humans are the only animal with bad taste? That doesn't mean humans taste bad. It means their clothing, furnishings and yard decor are often in bad taste. Up next: Bear Cave versus Man Cave. Would men be willing to live in a former bear cave if it had free beer and wide screen? What do you think?

Next you'll be wanting TP !! As for firearms, so long as people can understand one simple line in the Constitution they're good to go. Though you'll have to make your own powder and musket balls. Gotta keep it fair in case the bears want their den back.

There is nothing on that list I would want. There was a time when I might have said Ocean Front Condo, but since I live in a home that flooded in 2016 and recently, homes in other areas of my city have flooded, so being on the water no longer appeals to me. I wish I could have picked more than one item.
