Powerball-What would you do with 930 Million USD?

EthanTheFrogMan

Ok guys, the powerball lottery is up to $1.5 BILLION, the largest jackpot in US history, lottery signs cannot even display the jackpot. The estimated lump sum payout after taxes is $930 Million USD, so what would you do with the money????

The lump sum is more like 660M USD. After federal taxes which is around 40%, it gets even worse with installed payments.

 

Still a lot of money though, I would build the most stupid powerful PC, buy a nice car, and invest most of the rest. I'd live off a couple million.

I think there's been about 5 threads asking this today. 

 

You have to pay taxes on lottery wins in the US? That sucks. You get the full amount here in the UK.

I would invest half the money in a high return mutual fund and the rest of the money I would start a game studio that puts PC Gamers first. We would have a sick studio with a bunch of test benches with all sorts of GPUs and I would hire the best programmers and artists to design the games. Our games would have none of that day one BS because we would actually play them before we shipped them out lol.

A CNBC article that explains it.

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/11/tallying-the-big-tax-bite-of-a-14b-powerball-win.html

It's only going to be $561.7 million after all the taxes are taken out when you take the lump sum.

I might need to get a job as a wal-mart greeter with that measly amount. ;)

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.
