So, what would YOU do with 1.5 billion dollars US, had you won the draw last night?

 

[BethAnne]

Put it in the bank and then come up with a plan. One gal I talked to today said 100 of them went together to get a ticket and they won $32 which will be split between the 100...told she can still call herself a winner, not just the big winner.

Good deliveries today - weather was actually nice and balmy for a change.

Yoga tonight.

Yikes! I had no idea yoga was so expensive.

I'd buy some property, travel (note to self: get a passport)...I wouldn't make any hasty decisions - would think about what I really wanted to do.

I would have brought the Bolshoi Ballet to Moncton as a permanent base, bought the irving chain of newspapers, torn down the fundamentalist churches and sterilized all their clergy, and hired a servant to feed my cat.

Hmmm I'm with BA. Start by putting it in the bank and having time to ponder.

I'd quit my job. I'd endow the school division to hire at least another .5 OT for at least 10 years
I'd give my local congregation 1/2 million towards a building that they own.and fund an additional .5 minister for 8 years.

I'd buy both my sons condos. The oldest perhaps a fourplex or duplex-with a garage. My youngest a 2 bedroom unit and a small car.

Nothing for middle child unless they contact me. If I here from them a condo in their city.

I'd buy a small cabin up the ski hill. Some lakefront property and build a home.

I'd buy a small apartment building like 15 units or develop a complex of about the same size-and make it low income housing or a 2 year transitional housing for those needing extra support and add some staff as well.

a donation to the local Habitat for Humanity maybe 500, 000

and I go to Australia and new Zealand. I'd canoe the Nahani with my oldest. Go on a cruise maybe take my sisters and parents and their families.. Ride horses in spain.

10% of it goes to my church. The rest to my Yobo so she can expand her flower store and even start a franchise

You've thought this one through, Tab!

LAST while i think a bit harder. It would certainly guarantee my retirement.

Venture capital. Put enough aside to be comfortable, then start taking business proposals from tech startups.

Nah Mine was just off the top of my head but it reminds me of a facebook meme circulating. It says something like So you'd feed the poor if you won the lottery-just a reminder that tuna cost $127 a can and names other foods and prices. The real message being you can start now....

Not with $127 for a can of tuna!

Be nice to help out some of the struggling local businesses if I won a windfall - not sure how I'd do it though.

1.27 chemgal. Thought you'd put in decimal.

A lot of donations to a lot of worthy charities, then I'd buy a sports franchise. Just because I could.

Which franchise?

 

[Redbaron]

Maybe an expansion franchise in the CFL. That'd be fun.
