I can't win, I don't play. It is a tax on the stupid.

What would you do if you won a mega lottery?

That's easy. Two chicks at once.

I would look you up and hunt on your property, with your permission of course.

I would buy every house for three blocks around Al Franken and move Katrina refugees into them.

If I won the lottery I would upgrade my house to a double-wide.

Gypsy, Thanks for sharing that. Obviously you have a heart of gold. My wife and I would be happy to join you. We volunteer for a dog rescue group and it brings plenty of satisfaction and pleasure to us. Besides having four of our own we also foster one other with this group. Good Luck on your dreams and I hope that someday it will come to pass.

If I won the Mega Lottery, I would take the money and try to end world hunger, poverty and disease...

Or maybe my life would be one big party and I'd buy all kinds of cool stuff. Yeah, I like this one better.

I only play occasionally and would easily be able to handle the changes.

First year I would stay in my home, not spend much outside of traveling a little and maybe getting a new car.

I would be getting lots of estate planning advice and figuring what apartment buildings to buy so I could depreciate them and bank most of the income tax free.

If people found out you are worth the bucks, that is where you need to leave your home for one behind a gated community. You could become the target of a kidnapping as could others in your family.

I would try to collect the winnings and stay anonymous.

Easy: $3M to my parents. $1M to brothers/sisters. A certain amount to closest friends. Keep working for a little while, but with a bad attitude. Then return to college and learn something new.

What would you do if you won a mega lottery?

Buy a large property (a minimum of 30 acres).

Build a house on it with a nice big media room/home theater.

Hire a few servants to cook, run errands, and clean up after me.

Retire from the rest of the world and do as I please.

Write a book about my abused childhood.

Go on Oprah to promote my book and have her gush all over me.

Hire a fancy, shmancy Hollywood publicist to plant my name in gossip columns nationwide. ("lowbridge was seen snuggling with Lindsay Lohan AND Paris Hilton at Club Underage Drinkers!")

Announce the beginning of my new singing career and put out a pop/rap album that no one will buy.

Announce my acting career and get small roles in several low budget movie productions that crash at the box office. Some dont even make to to the box office, getting released straight to DVD.

Spend all my money on drugs.

Go in re-hab.

Write a book about my salvation from drugs.

Go on Oprah to promote my book and have her gush all over me....

Separate the money into three piles.

Pile #1 goes to fund annuities for myself and other family members, in order to generate a constant income -- enough to live quite comfortably, without being ostentatious.

Pile #2 would be used to fund a charitable trust. Anyone coming directly to me with sob stories of how they need money would be directed to the trust. The trust would be independently managed with general guidelines from me as to what should and shouldn't be done with the money.

Pile #3 would be used as venture capital for companies based on new technolgoies designed to improve quality of life -- specifically, those dealing with the problems of energy and transportation. Returning profits would be reinvested in additional companies.

I'd fund all the hardly-existing American Revolution sites. Throw in some for the forgotten so-called "War of 1812" (aka the British War or 2nd War for Independence).

Another thing: buy all the properties within 1 mile of Pimlico, move all those people outward, then blow up their houses and turn it into more spacious stabling and even pasture area for the horses and their humans at the track. Part of it would be increased parking space a bit further away from the track (so the grandstand could expand, get nicer, and have a real outdoor paddock). Then clean it up generally.

RE your home page: 1) Horseback ride on a beach

If you ever come to the cape to vacation, I can probably make this happen depending on the time of year.
