If you won a big Powerball jackpot. What would you do ? Would you stage a meetup at your favorite strip club and buy lap dances for all the TUSCL attendees ? Would you marry your stripper ? Would we ever hear from you again ?
Forget everything you heard about taking the 20year pay out. Go for the lump sum. Yes, you pay more in taxes, but you'll make it back and more with the interest from your investments.
I'm not sure what I'd do, but it wouldn't be stripper-centric.
I'd take the lump sum. I wouldn't do much strip club related. I'd invest it. Take time to get a PhD (finally) then work to lay the groundwork to go into business for myself create some really cool things.
The rest would be practical and philanthropic stuff that no one on Tuscl wants to hear about. So I'll leave it at that. :)
Like gammanu said, take the lump sum. I can't believe how many people don't get that.
Answering the main question of the post, I'd go to a few spots and blow some cash but that'd be about it. I'd probably invite a few friends along (TUSCLers and others).
I'd probably buy a house in the NE section of Atlanta and spend a lot of time there, though.
Lump sum for sure, it's pretty common knowledge that that the annuity is a bum deal if you're half intelligent and can get even a partially competent financial advisor.
I wouldn't go nuts with strippers, though I certainly imagine I'd go to clubs more often, not feel as guilty about how much I spend per trip, and probably have a few more greek and OTC sessions. Making it more obvious I have a lot of money just makes me more of a mark than anything to a stripper, which is something I would want to avoid.
Besides charity and crazy money to splurge to get it out of my system, the bulk of my money would go to long term, low risk, low reward investments and/or some fast food franchising if I can get the right people to know how to make a franchise dynasty successful. I'd probably also get a small business where profit isn't a huge concern to keep my wife and I busy (like an independent bookstore).
I'd take trips to Vegas, Miami, and someplace in Canada, and London. Mostly though because I want to visit those places with the wife. And while I'm there, I might as well hit the clubs. But it wouldn't be anything special. Just normal vists. It would seem exotic to me (but probably like a run-of-the-mill normal business trip to everyone on Tuscl, lol!)
I'd reinvest my windfall into a production facility for big black dildos, because profits on that investment are a sure thing when you got a guy like Txtittyfag(dot) swallowing up all the BBC he can take.
He can't get enough of the BBC so I would take in the extra cash.
^^^@JS69 I thought winning a powerball was supposed to be life changing, and you are just going to do the same ole, same ole, ; / C'mon man live it up get a Papi Chiulo mode at the Body Club or something ! )
I'd invest in a few pie in the sky investments, put most of the rest in low risk investments, and rent The Penthouse Club for a night, and throw a monster bash for everyone here at TUSCL. :)
I'd still strip club but with a higher budget. Yes a budget, because there was one lottery winner who lost most his winnings due to his strip club endeavors. All while SCing I'd go out more dress very well and try to attract rating 8-10 civies until I had a few to where I didn't have time to go SCing.
Now beyond this "someone to love" need I'd get a nice house, car, invest, oh yeah, and get a financial advisor because I'm not accustomed to having this type of money!
Why trust someone else to be your financial advisor? It's not like any of them are any smarter than most of us. If you have that much money you can afford to take a few classes and handle it yourself. Too many stories about suddenly rich people being fleeced by their advisors.
You muthafuckers would never see me again. I would abandon my life as it is now and buy an island somewhere and build several stripclub's on it to entertain myself. Oh and a brothel too. And a 7-11 for sundries.
Start a charitable foundation to keep people off my back. Pay someone to run my charitable foundation. Do a couple years of serious traveling. I'm sure strip clubs would still play a part but to a different extent.
Half of it I would stick in an irrevocable trust for my benefit.
I'd start my own porn production and bang pornstars for fun and profit.
Finally, I would find and hire the A-Team to run off the local gangs and druglords who have been oppressing the local innocent/helpless population, burning their crops and raping their goats.
Oh, and I'd start my own SC and advertise it on TUSCL so Founder coukd make a few more nickels.
I'd hire a financial advisor plus someone to help with other errands. Then I would figure out what I want to do and come up with a plan. I'd also set up my immediate relatives so they weren't worried about food and shelter, etc, maybe. I just wouldn't want them asking for money. correction, I'd hire an investigator to investigate finances and what one in law has been up to and if nothing shady was found out, figure out how much they need to not have troubles anymore and maybe share the same amount with my other brothers and sisters, then party myself.

I'm not marrying a stripper. I'm not that crazy.
You would hear from me. I would boast about my voyage to Bora Bora in my yacht with an all-stripper crew.
I'm not sure what I'd do, but it wouldn't be stripper-centric.
I'd probably go to a club and make it rain $31K

Actually, I'd give it to unwed mothers all over the world who are just trying to get by... I like supporting unwed mothers. Makes me feel good. :)
