Well seeing that I have already had Handsome men in my life (A pretty face don t mean a pretty heart trust me!) And that I am a beautiful woman myself hehehhe! I would use the money to Help Others. Seeing that I am a natural healer I would be build a huge natural healing clinic and offer as much free help as I could afford and that amount could go a long way. My Family would come first and I would see all their needs were met. And of course I would definitely travel.

Ahhhh to be young. Some would say, young and foolish, but its yours to loose. Hang with the likes of Paris Inkeepers Daughter Hilton, and you can count on loosing a large share. That crowd is takers, not sharers. There are a few million women in this world who are better looking, and most of that group would make a better friend. Why tie yourself down with a slut. Buy one, use her, then find a woman that can read a menu.

Annual Payments — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 01:49:32 GMT

If I won that much, first, I'd go and collect my annual payments. With my first payment, the first thing I'd do is engage in world travel. I have internet friends from all over the world and I'd get to visit them =)Eventually, I'd just move to Europe, as it is a long term goal of mine anyway. I'll just pick up and finish my education there and live in Amsterdam or a German city and seek citizenship. Then have all or a big chunk of my money transferred to Euros. Then I'd pull a Paris Hilton,... [ More ]

Maybe I should start another poll and title it: You DIDN'T just win 310,000,000!!! for all of us out there who weren't so lucky....

However, you do throw out some pretty harsh comments, hopefully tongue-in-cheek, about old people.You have to take what I say about old people in context to the thread. Most evolved around equality to younger people, and I beleive there is no comparison. Old people can't compete with the younger crowd. (There is always the 10% rule - where 10% doesn't follow the rule.) The same, in part, applies to all aspects of life. Life in this country is special. Go to Ghana, Ethiopia, or the Congo....

I never said only young people should win. I talked about that guy being better off having some one else claim the money. Having around 50-60 millions dollars and leaving 50% to death tax makes no sense at all. That family could have made documented efforts to take care of grandpa; which would have kept him out of a smelly home. Then the money would have went to better use. Thirty Million dollar throw away is the game he played.

You are so cruel, Chewie. :) There's always those little blue pills. Do you remember George Burns? He was madly in love with his wife, Gracie Allen, but after she died he surrounded himself with young, beautiful women. Tony Randall had a baby (well his wife did) in his 80s. Why? They were rich and famous! Look at Katherine Zeta-Jones. At least Michael Douglas is fairly good-looking for his age. I saw Larry King on tv with his bride and I'm guessing she's in her 30s.

I always remember the show, Outer Limits. A guy could have one wish. He wished for world peace. Wammo bammo gazam. He was the only person on earth. Seems, there will never be peace as long as there are two people; one will always try out do the other. Kind of like Cain Able story.Its not what you wish for, its how you wish for it.

Of course, we want to buy new homes and car, but also I probably need to find a beautiful woman to relate to me. That's a nice thought, but I hope you also mean beautiful on the inside. Look at all the beautiful people with money in Hollywood who break up.

My vote is for all of the above. However, if I win the jackpot, I would take cash value. Also, I would let my aunt and/or my sisters determine how we spend the money. Of course, we want to buy new homes and car, but also I probably need to find a beautiful woman to relate to me.

Precisely what I am saying. What is good enough for the rich and famous would be good enough for me - only more so! My daughter and her children, first, second, and third. Me fourth. Everyone else would start in the thousands. If I was content to do without, I wouldn't buy tickets. I been to most of the hell-holes of the earth.

Is that $310,000,000 cash or annuity? Imagine a jackpot getting to that lump sum value! I hope they never add enough balls to have to wait that long, but it would be very intriguing to say the least. I have no doubt there will be billion dollar jackpots one day, inflation always increases everything. Course that will still be nothing compared to Bill Gates and his 50 billion.
