365 Million Dollars

I'm usually not a person who thinks about the lottery....i play once in a while when i have heard that a jackpot is high (probably the worst time to play - lowest odds), i turn the televion to a different station when the ping pong ball numbers are airlifted into their slots, i cringe when the guy ahead of me at the gas station lays down $40 on th counter for tickets and he looks like he could use some new shoes. BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>365 million dollars has cought my attention!

Okay - what would YOU do with that money?? You have to figure that you will only get 1/2 if you take the cash.....that's 182.5 million - then %40 for taxes - that brings us down to 109.5 million-----after it's all said and done. (you can tell i've spent too much time thinking about this this morning)----it's nothing to sneeze at.....I would take 1 millino and be SO thrilled!

SO........how WOULD you spend 109.5 million dollars???? - please post in comments.....

I would first get a good lawyer and an even better accountant (a clever one). Most of the money would go into some sort of mutual funds, stocks, CD's etc. I would buy a house for our friends from Iraq with 7 bed rooms - one for every kid to get their own....I would buy a brand new - awesome house with a lot of rooms for us- because then i would go and adopt older children in other countries. I see pictures of these kids and my heart breaks......they need someone to love them----HERE WE ARE!!! I would also help build good housing for orphans in other countries.....i couldn't adopt them all but i could give them a better place to live by God....

I don't know what else i would do.....but that's the first thing in my head...............

Okay - what would you do?
