three lucky dogs won 573K in CA. http://www.calottery.com/play/draw-games/powerball
If I win I will spend the rest of my life giving the money away $5,000 at a time.

Build my dream house.

Many CS & classic colored Precision Basses, perhaps a Big Al 5
An AM ST Telecaster, already have a good amp.
A nice upright bass & instructor.

Gigs.

Donate money for new furniture, deco, TV's, items of comfort & an annual stipend to the U of Michigan Cancer Center & U of M Mott Children's Cancer Center...probably a chunk of change to St. Jude Hospital & others like it.

Drive about the country lookin' at stuff.

Can I be bumped up the list of "beneficiaries" if I mail you those hooker candies? SF is maybe 2 hours away. $5k MIGHT cover gas money, candies, CA tax, and shipping and handling. I apologize in advance if I accidentally mail you a hooker named Caramel. There might be a couple out there. I will ask around the Tenderloin and maybe the Mission district for ya. I'm that nice of a guy.

Careful boys; that kind of money will undoubtedly lead to excessive extra-curricular vaginal activity and the resulting divorce.

(I already got my ticket!)

Hmmm that kind of money, the saddest part of that kind of cash is you could never live like a normal person again your family would need security 24-7 this world is an fup place. The day your name and face hit the media you are done as the person you were. Don't get me wrong I would love to hit the lottery and retire and live debt free but the other sacrifices you and your family would have to go through (pull your kids out of school move away from where they are growing up, no more of their friends, they will have to move in a whole new circle. It is reported by many hitting the lottery is the worst thing that has ever happen to them. I would be happier with just enough to live a comfortable life but, that is just me thinking about my family.

I'd probably buy a couple bikes, a Lamborghini Aventador, completely renovate my parents' house, buy myself a house, pay off my Sister's college loans, set up my sister with a college fund, buy a house on the Gulf, quit my job, and throw Gatsby like parties.

I would see I'd I could buy a new liver my neighbor buy a house for my som and one for my widower sister in law. My wife would want to set up something for battered women. I would like to help our injured vets and the homeless children. I wonder how long the money would last?

Been there done that I'm going to pay for my cousins chemo & buy my brother & my son a house each then have fun buying stuff for people.

I would like to adopt greyhounds however. I suppose I'll need piece-o-lan' for that.

Yep. There are good establishments in place already I would boost those. Too costly to build a new place. I think it would stretch further if I helped existing ones that are solid no corruption.

Have you ever thrown a house party and people you don't know come and steal or trash your place?
