    It's a long shot, but I got to put a few bucks in.
    4 kids and I would retire, instantly.

    yea i'll throw a couple bucks away on it. if i should win, well I would retire and spend every day thinking up new ways to enjoy myself. I would not have to worry about how I'm going to send the boys to collage. The old harley would get a better than new rebuild.

    Ya know, this is one lottery I might actually buy.. I mean, what do I have to lose, a buck or two? And that buck or two will make SOMEBODY happy, so , oh well.

    And if I won, first Id give half to cancer research, then the other half I would start a few businesses, buy an insane amount of guns, build myself a house with a huge vault in the basement for all my guns, buy a ton of sweet cars (Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, McClarens, Range Rovers, Hummers, and one of those suburbans with the 50 cal auto on top)

    Then I'd buy my family and friends a bunch of sweet cars, buy a ton of land and make a public range with targets all the way out to 1000 yards. (GHD would be impressed [:p])

    Then Id also have a range at my house with targets out to 1000 yards, and Id have an indoor pistol range, ya know, somewhere where I could shoot my new Glock 18. [:D]

    Then I'd give 270 Deer Slayer $10 and tell him to quit being such a wonk.

    And Id have a new giveaway everyday.

    I am thinking about buying a ticket today, for the first time this year.

    What would I do with it?
    I have always had a soft spot for abused people.
    Men as well as women and children.
    Stuck in a life, they do not know how to change.
    I would have to set up a shelter (home) with the resources and help,
    to give them a chance to change the course of their lives.

    I would go places and do things i have never seen or done. First i would donate a sizable amount to the Make A Wish foundation so that terminally ill kids could have a great time.

    I would purchase GunBroker.com. I would then add a forum called Shock and Awe, for specific purpose of exchanging fashion tips.

    I might buy me a house in Idaho and hire someone to build a porch around the whole thing. Come to think of it, that may not cover it.[:0]

    Really, I think they ought to give one million$ to 210 seperate winners.

    You bet! Sure, it's less likely than being hit by lightening, but you don't catch fish if your line ain't in the water. In NH, the state's share goes to school funding, so while it is, as others noted, paying taxes, at least the taxes go to something of value and the last time I looked, paying taxes the old fashioned way offers ZERO CHANCE of winning $210 million!

    Use? (1) Set up some trusts so nobody, but nobody knows I have it. (2) Make sure my family is taken care of well into their dotage. (3) Donate a bunch to selected organizations / causes - some charitable, some political, and none DemoCrap. (4) Buy some super rare rounds for my collection, a few firearms and a few amenities - my tastes are simple. (5) At some point way down the line, buy a winter "cottage" next to the beach in Rio and buy / build spring / summer / fall camps in Atlantic Canada and Alaska so I won't ever have to be hot or cold!! (6) Invite my friends to go shooting / hunting / fishing / oogling as the case may be!

    i just got back from town and bought ten power balls and guess my wife got one last nite there was many people filling out their own number cards.
    alop got five wild cards, thats at $200,000 i think...
    15/16 dollars is very very small amount of money to gamble. if you know how much money i have lost this last week with mcd and also how much money i throw in the soil each crop season to grow crops....we are talking $100+/acre in just seed fert chem and ect so what the hey 15-16 dollars is nothing for a chance to win 200+mill [:D]

    If i win first thing i will do is pay all my operating debt and land debt
    replace all my worn out iron then buy me a newer pickup then the rest will cause me more work like start my owm meat processing plant to provide you with A#1 USA beef and maybe get me a fleet of combines and trucks and go on the harvest run from TX to ND. also would do what i could to take out as many of the Ag monoplies as i could and leave them in a rubble pile with me standing on top of it!

    Well, If I won I would fly all of you fine people some place special for a BIG get together. Second, I'd donate a lot of it and last I'd keep enough to retire my entire family. Course the most I've ever hit was $7, but a guy can dream can't he.

    Well, it looks as though somebody nailed the powerball because on my way home I looked at the powerball billboard next to the freeway and it was sitting at 10million again.[:(]
