Some dude just won $590... crazy

Who cares about their tax? When I lived in Missouri I had friends that refused to play because of this. Stupid. You win 100 mil, come out with 50 and that's bad? I'd tell them give me 25 and keep the rest. I'd still be set for life.

I won't get into the shopping list but there's a couple bikes and cars I'd have. Moderate bungalow with a kick *** shop with built in man cave would be first.

Before anything, I'd have this car. 993 ruf converted 911. Amazing automobile.

Best looking car on the planet. EVER! (also my favorite as a kid)

Then of course if you really want to go fast I'd buy a F4 but it would have to be white.

If i ever win, first thing on my list would be an awesome property. Second would be this:

If I won that kind of money I'd buy a huge working farm in the most picturesque setting. I'd rent the fields, equipment and out buildings to local farmers. I'd rebuild the farmhouse to modern standards including big porch. Then I'd sit there and say stuff like "Well, that's enough work for today" That would be real funny because I hadn't done any work that day or any day since I moved in.
 
wow so selfish things you people would do with your money...
Is that all you can think about? what kind of property or car you'd have?

First thing I'd do, is roll to the local charity and drop off all my used clothing and coins............. in my brand new

I'd keep a couple of million and invest it + pay someone to take care of managing it for me. I'd give the rest away to important or helpful people in my life (there are a lot) because I don't need all that much. Then I'd put a little more away for when I grow up and realize that maybe I do.

I would most likely travel for a while and then give the rest to random people who deserve it or show random acts of kindness/hospitality.

I think that one of the coolest things that someone can be is an equalizer of wealth.
 
LMAO! You guys think too small. Ferrari/Lmabo can make one off cars for the right price. Look up the Prince of Brunei car collection. All of his cars are special one off's from the car makers. Most of them are so advanced that the technology in these cars are just showing up in Ferrari cars of today.

The crazy guy spends $50 million per month.

I cannot even fathom that much money.

I guess the first thing I do is buy a pre-paid cellphone with a new number and dump my old one. Last thing I would need try to figure out what to do with that money is have a bunch of solicitors calling me for money.
 
My immedaite family would never want for anything.
I would buy some cool toys, but can't ever see me wanting a mansion or a Ferrari etc. I would rather have many regular houses, all over the globe instead of empty mansions. And a caravan of RV's for me and my family to galavant and see things.
I would spend large amounts of my time helping people less fortunate than me.
 
I would wake up every weekday morning at 7:30 and sit outside on a lawn chair with a big sign that reads 'RETIRED' right behind me just to piss everyone on their way to work off.

We have a $50 mill cap on our lottery pool while theirs starts with 40 mill minimum... Too bad they lose 50% of it to tax.

What would you do with 590 million?

they get taxed on it right away in the states unless you take payments every month instead of 1 lump sum but the government never touches it ever again where here they tax you on the money every year when you do your tax return
 
I'd book a plane ticket to a 3rd world tropical paradise the instant I found out I won where you get more bang for your money. Than while I'm sunning on the beach with laptop in hand I'd set up my investment strategy for life and live off that income while it slowly grows bigger each year and pass it onto my children who will pass it onto their children.
 
I would create a holding company to slowly accumulate businesses and proven franchises and I would hire good people (in need of an opporunity to get to the next level) to run them. After each business is proven profitable and in the hands of people that have been developed/nutured to manage the businesses, I would then transfer ownership of these businesses over to the people that have loyally and effectively managed these businesses for several years provided they are good people.

The goal here isn't to make money or even give away money but more to change people's lives by providing them with a sustainable source of wealth for a long time.. I want to reward those hard workers out there that have the potential to be successful business owners but just lack the capital and push to make it happen. I want to transform them from low level blue collar workers to wealthy self-employed people and hopefully they will adopt my company's philosophy of being open to giving people a chance to better themselves.

And I would buy a GTR :) and do all of this from the tropical island I purchased.

So it works out the same.....
Not sure on the point here?

I'm pretty sure you never get taxed here on your winnings -- now if you make money off those winnings (eg. interest, investments, stocks, etc) then you will pay tax on whatever you make, but not on the initial amount.
 
I thought we got taxed here.

For me, none of my family have debts or anything, other than 2 sisters in college and one that will be in the next year or two. So I'm sure I'd make sure that's all paid for, and a new small reliable vehicle for each. (First cars don't need to be awesome).
I'd get my mom a nice place in the country with a proper building for her cats (we have a small Bengal cattery) and a big shop for her BF, and new equipment for his business.
My grandma would get anything she wants, anytime.

Myself, just a nice 3 bedroom house with a nice big shop with a lift and fabrication tools (heck, maybe a small CNC machine) and take some courses to learn how to properly make things (like tool and die etc). A decent sized property for a MX track and a flat section for my own grass runway.
Toys, lots of different bikes, mostly older bikes, but a couple new ones. An assortment of cars and trucks, would like to take ones in need of restoration to make my own, and of course some fancy super car... Or maybe a GTR or 350Z and make it crazy.
Build an RV4 (airplane).
Couple of boats. Good little duck hunting boat, a bass boat and something to party on.
I like to be busy, so I couldn't just buy stuff and then sit around with nothing to do, so I would rather be productive and make stuff mine.

I'm sure I would find something to do with my time as well as far as humanitarian efforts, but I don't feel right about just handing money over since it's been proven the money doesn't always go where it really should.

Edit:
I'd also quit my job so I can finally grow a mullet for cruising around in my Smokey & the Bandit replica Trans-Am.
