Powerball Is $485 Million. How Would You Spend It?

$485 Million!!  That's a figure I couldn't even imagine depositing into my bank account.  But, I can dare to dream how I would spend it.  The numbers will be drawn tonight and possibly, there will be a winner or 2 or maybe 3.  It could be you!

I plan to purchase a couple tickets.  But I always wonder if I would do better picking my own numbers or having random numbers picked.  If I pick my own, I do I decide what to choose?  Kids birthdays?  Last 4 digits of my social security number added together?  My license plate numbers?

I definitely put more thought into the numbers than I do in spending it.  Spending it would be easy.  Like everyone else, I'd wake up in the morning and quit my job...actually, no, I like my job...no, yea...I'd quit.  Go on a tropical vacation.  Buy cars and houses.  Give some to my select friends and family. I would give a lot to charities.  Randomly give $100 bills to complete strangers.

Now, I have always said if I win the lottery, I would set up a trust fund for my kids.  The only way they could unlock this trust fund is after they complete 4 years of college.  I don't want my kids to grow up spoiled because their parents won the lottery.  I want them to become good samaritans.  I want them to know their worth outside of just having money.

Are you going to play?
