The Powerball is up to $450 Million!  Chance of winning are pretty slim but it's fun to dream.  So, if you are the lucky winner, here's some ways to spend it!  

You could purchase a beautiful home!  Do you prefer the East Coast?  Do you prefer the West Coast?  Do you prefer further West...like Hawaii?  Yea, I'm thinking Hawaii.

How about a top of the line vehicle.  This would be my top choice:

That's for land travel...but what about sea travel.  I'm certain I get seasick...but I think a good cure is $400 Mil.  So now, let's look at the yachts!

With that kind of money...you can afford to splurge a little bit because the interest you would earn (INSANE) would keep you busy for a long long time.  So how about wiping your tushy with 24k gold toilet paper?  Brushing your teeth with...Chocolate??  Check out these other crazy expensive items that wouldn't phase you to spend money one.

So it's easy to get carried away on the many ways you could spend this kind of cash...because well, quite frankly the odds of getting struck by lightening are better.  But, if I did win $400+ Million...there's a lot of good I'd like to do with it as well:

  • I would create a trust fund for each of my kids that is locked.  To unlock it, they must either work for a nonprofit organization full-time for FREE for 4 years or attend a 4-year college and graduate.  I'm hoping this would prevent them from become 'greedy'...(like me)
  • I would donate a lot...to people who could genuinely use it.  I would want to send families (with a parent who has a terminal illness) on dream vacations.  I would want to leave money for people to 'find'.  I'd want to help that single parent who works hard but can never get ahead.  I'd want to create college scholarships
  • Of course, I'd help my friends and family.

Most importantly, I would need to talk to a financial adviser.

Well, it was fun to dream.
