What would you do with $220 million?

Tuesday, June 29, 2004

Today's MegaMillions jackpot is up to $220 million. I was in Illinois on Saturday and managed to pick up a ticket. (I say manage as I almost forgot until right before I got on the highway and had to make a big u-turn--legal--to go back to the Stop N Shop at the exit.)

I bought $5 worth of tickets. It may be a waste of my money, but I feel it isn't. One it helps pay to make someone's world change. Secondly, I pay at least $6 to see a movie that lasts about 90 minutes. The nice little fantasy one gets from dreaming about what they could and would do with such an instant change of fortune. These fantasy's last longer than 90 minutes--heck, I spent just 90 minutes this morning wondering what I could do with $220 million.

Would I learn from past winners mistakes? Would I really change? Well, maybe on the latter as I would no longer be employed--but I believe I would still work, just on a volunteer basis for causes I strongly believed.

Whatever I would do post receipt of check, I would definitely see my cousin Earl first to establish the best way to receive and administer the money.

So, what would you do with $220 million (or about $112 million in cash)?
