I would keep a chunk for myself, like $25,752.19

Talk about chaos.
Bags of $20.00 dollar bills.
OPERATION: MONEY DROP

Over major cities and highways across America during rush hour. Getting money to the people!

I would buy an island, complete with Bond villainesque underground bunker and death ray. Then hold the world to ransom - mwa-ha-ha-haaa!

Epstein’s Island is on the market I think. But, that would be like buying that house in Amityville...

It really needs to be a secret island for this to work.

Cash raining down on highways = accidents and death. Major cities have poverty but a lot of wealth too, so aim wisely.

I’d give big money to save animals and their habitats - manatees, rhinoceros, tigers, snow leopards, whales, … big money to help people facing hardships too.

Then I’d buy more fresh fruit and veg.

Thanks for setting me straight.
I didn’t take into the consideration the carnage...

Glad I got to you in time.

[–] RomMC37 (59) 2 years ago

That’s only if I win. After I check my losing numbers, I’m afraid I’ll revert back to my adolescent ways.

I follow/donate to several animal sanctuaries, smaller ones. You really a see where your money is going with the smaller ones. They have a fundraiser for something in particular, then on Instagram or Patreon you see the effect, the results. I'm particularly fond of the sanctuaries that rescue and provide lifelong care for farm animals such as pigs, cows, goats, sheep, ducks, geese, chickens, also ones that rescue donkeys and horses...

but I would always remember Rockefeller's caution that he found it much harder to give away money than earn it. Not because he didn't want to part with the cash, but because it is not as easy as one thinks to give away large sums and be sure it is well spent. Money corrupts.

Hooked and blow.

I'm SO not buying tickets for that lottery! it'd be an inconvenient amount of money.

I just want $5-10 million, enough to live in comfort and to give away reasonable amounts.

I'll tell ya what I'd do, man...

Two chicks at the same time.

Edit: Really? No "Office Space" fans?.... This board really sucks. God I miss IMDB.
