A trust (group) can collect the prize, but its members may not be anonymous unless the state allows it.

[Norm Lenhart]

Oh...Trannies.

I’d tell everyone I lost it gambling at Mohegan Sun. Then I’d say I was going into rehab for my gambling addiction, but instead zip over to Bermuda for six months, and come back a changed woman.

Just kidding.

Take lump sum, sink it into interest bearing accounts and live off the interest for the rest of my life

$350 million and you gotta worry about living off the interest? You plan on living to be 1000 years old?

[Norm Lenhart]

What, you’re a dude now? ;)

[envisio]

Well if you’re in to that sort of thing, I won’t judge you.

[Norm Lenhart]

With that much money it might be possible...

[trisham]

What, you're a dude now? ;)

LOL!

[Norm Lenhart]

Not me. I’m Pixelsexual. I like hot Skyrim chicks ;)

I'd splurge and buy a house in Kanab, Utah, and Traben-Trarbach, Germany, a town I lived in for four years.

Why those two locales? Kanab is a two hour drive from several national parks, to include Zion and Bryce Canyon, and it's out of the way.

Traben-Trarbach is on the Mosel River. During June-Labor Day, there are 2-3 winefests every weekend. During the week, you're a 4 hour drive from Munich, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Switzerland, etc. It's an amateur historian's dream, as the Mosel had a strong Roman influence for 5-6 centuries.

I'd probably splurge for one more house in Burleson, build it within walking distance of Lost Oak Winery, my favorite place to hang out.

[Norm Lenhart]

WELL YOU DIDN’T SPECIFY!!!!

...And we jive in the age of Jenner so... ;)

[Norm Lenhart]

“Germany, a town I lived in”

Met your new neighbors Mohammed and Akbar.

[envisio]

Seriously though, the reality is... I’d be dead within a month.

[Irish Eyes]

Never heard of that idea. Sounds like a good one.

[Norm Lenhart]

I admire your endurance.

[trisham]

Here is a recent pic of me.

Could it be any more clear that I am a woman?

[Norm Lenhart]

Nice try fraud, but the shoes and smock don’t match.

I’m on to your schemes... Youre a dude. No woman would EVER make that mistake ;)

[IYAS9YAS]

Oh...Trannies.

Man, how times have changed. When I was a kid, if someone was talking about a tranny, it was that mechanical device that attached to the back of the engine, usually a V-8...

[envisio]

One house, right in the middle of about 50,000 acres.

[Norm Lenhart]

I told the mechanic “Yea I blew a tranny on the Ford.

He said my sex life wasn’t his concern...
