If you won Powerball...

[Rehoboth Dave]

If I won the 750 million I, like most here, would blow this clambake. Before I went though I'd use a big chunk of it to start a Massachusetts RKBA issue specific version of Project Veritas to go after New England anti-gunners in general and Ma**h*** anti-gun politicians in particular, as a parting gift to my fellow long suffering Bay State gun owners.

That guy from California's collection!

 

[jhblaze1]

don't even care that much about anonymity...I have no problem telling everyone to f*** off. How long would that anonymity really last anyway when you're suddenly flying around in a helicopter and driving a Koenigsegg with a 12000 sq foot house?

oh hey we haven't spoken in 4 years but now you want to hang out? cool, f*** off.

oh hey yeah we are cousins. and I haven't talked to you since 2011. f*** off.

...I still wouldn't buy an engraved Glock.

 

[M1911]

...I still wouldn't buy an engraved Glock.

. You and me both.

 

[Roof gunner]

Two chicks at the same time and I don’t need to say why

To help reload ?

 

[KBCraig]

...I still wouldn't buy an engraved Glock.

FIFY.

Oh, okay, I'd probably have a few, just like I would keep some Keystone or Natty Light in the fridge for the brothers-in-law when they come over.

 

[ridleyman]

So maybe when you fall asleep they can chat with each other?

 

[MuzzleDiscipline]

I would build a monument to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg "Never have so many owed so much to just one."

 

[Matt_SERE]

After finding and hiring my personal Dr there would be some type of quiet review of contributing-NES-members who could use some funds for medical reasons.

 

[Varmint]

I’d buy a Mustang with the flat-plane crank V8, pack up the wife and kids and drive by Maura’s house at 3 am on our way to Montana.

You could call it "TVI Foundation" in honor of how NES helped his family out back then.

[jron]

Quit job.

Pay off my debts and a select number of some close people.

Book several flights to figure out my primary residence.
(Texas, Arizona, Colorado)

Purchase a home in Maui on the water.

Buy a Land Cruiser for both properties.

Buy a few full autos.

Travel, enjoy life, and give back.

 

[jron]

Why just once? I would hire someone to do it daily. Maybe set off some fireworks

Better yet put up a Healey = Tyrant billboard or something....

NES Group buy of Mustang GT350s, I like it.

No one seems to know the answer, if you win $750 million and the Feds take their 33% or whatever, could you put the remaining money in a charitable foundation and get some of your 33% tax back? I'm assuming no, cause the IRS doesn't play fair.

Zero chance you aren't paying taxes. Any charitable donation would be out of your take home

Or I will offer pay everyone $1,000 who votes for me and they can use that money to buy unrestricted firearms once ALL bans are lifted.

Looks from googling that you can donate 50% of it, and that part will be tax free.

So you win say $800 million, put $400 million in a foundation, Feds take $200 million up front, and you'll owe 39.6% of $400 million, so you might get $40 million back when you file. I'd do this just to stiff the IRS.

Googling I found the fact that a NYC resident would have to pay 53% tax (federal, state & city) on lottery winnings - highest in the nation, lol.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

In my case "Oh, you're the cousin who drove 500 miles to see if I could use your kidney even though we have not seen each other for years..." - What color do you think looks best on a Lambo?

 

[Retired-LEO]

I'd:
1) Retire from my job Immediately!
2) Move out of Massachusetts
3) Buy lots of guns and vehicles
4) Hire a full time special needs Nanny for our youngest son
5) Travel

I would build a monument to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg "Never have so many owed so much to just one."

A fully functional toilet made of bronze?

 

[fishgutzy]

Let me see.
Honestly? I'd tell the boss "I quit, effective immediately."
Pay off all debts including the kids' student loans.
Rent my daughter a luxury apartment near campus for when she starts graduate school for applied physics. (Yes my daughter is wicked smaaht)
Hire a contractor to fix everything possible in our current house, make it fully handicap accessible with 36-40 inch wide doorways throughout. Maybe even an elevator up from the garage. Then donate it to a veterans charity that doesn't waste 60+% on fundraising and overhead.
Then I would put on my rattiest yard work clothes and work boots and go to the nearby Aston Martin/Ferrari/Maserati/Porsche Dealer and tell them I want to test drive a DB11.
Then the dodge dealer for a Hellcat or 2.
Meanwhile my wife would be shopping for a nice comfortable but not McMansion sized home near OBX.
Of course, I'd get her a Charger Hellcat. She loves power.

 

[fshalor]

I'd dive into 3gun. Put a little into our camper kit.

Would still work. Actually probably wouldn't even change jobs.

Buy some land.

Setup a few buried shipping containers.

Build a creedmor 6.5 bolt gun and order a seekins in 6.5 and probably a vp18 in 5.56.

Tavor x95 and an ACR for cross training. Maybe a SCAR-H.

Order a custom 1911 for my son. Probably an off the shelf precision center for myself.

And of course 10k ammo for everything and a whole reloading outfit.

 

[fishgutzy]

step 1: don't sign the ticket
step 2: Hopefully the ticket was bought in DE or some state that does not require disclosure
step 3: find a good trust and tax lawyer, set up trust
step 4: wait for a slow news day, Christmas eve, day before thanksgiving, hire armed guards, bullet proof limo, wear disguise and claim ticket
step 5: disappear
step 6: Start with a Thompson sub and a MP5S and go from there.

Re: Trust. The trust ownership can be withheld. Publicly naming the trust doesn't mean identifying the owners. Definitely the best way for most states.

 

[Coyote33]

Forget the airplane. I'd rather something seaworthy:
View attachment 275891

Maybe a "little bigger".

Haha. I already picked a sailboat, so I was close. Now a little more specific:

Found this in another thread:

Iconic Sailing Boats & Yachts for Bluewater Sailing | Oyster Yachts

Iconic blue water sailing boats, designed and handcrafted to take you on the sailing adventures of your dreams in comfort, luxury and safety.

oysteryachts.com

Would of course hire a captain/teacher, and some strong/attractive crew members.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

I'd just give the friggin ticket to my sons and let them figure it out. Jack.

 

[Amerry223]

I would buy a reasonable home, car, and pay for schooling for the young ones in my family.

I'd make sure to have a lawyer claim the ticket on my behalf so I'm not mobbed by crazies after I win!
