Half a Billion Dollars

The Jackpot for "MegaMillions" is estimated at 525,000,000 dollars Tuesday.

This begs the question, what would you do with a lump sum check cut for you at about 300 million bucks? (300 million after taxes)

What? According to the Mega Millions web site the jackpot is only up to $310 million, although that is still a hell of a lot of money.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

With that amount of money i think i'd give a small portion away, make sure all my family were well looked after and then just have the rest in a bank account.

I don't think i'd do to much though, maybe start a bussiness or something or do something worthwhile.



Upcoming Concerts/Nights Out I'm Attending:


Status Quo @ Newcastle City Hall - September 27th
DragonForce @ Newcastle Carling Academy - October 8th
Motorhead @ Newcastle Carling Academy - November 7th
Apocalyptica @ Newcastle Carling Academy - December 7th

If you manage your money right you would never have to work again considering that most people never earn $1 million over their entire lifetime. I would first pay off all bills and debts that my family has, then take them and myself on a big shopping spree, and probably put the rest of it in the bank and just live off of the interest it would accumulate. I might want to start my own buisness though, probably something I would enjoy like a video game store.

Pay off some debts, help out my family, give to some charities, travel the world, get houses all over the world, and sink the rest in investments.

I have never had a new car so that would be the first thing. Then probably a beach house. Then I would just have some fun.

I would probably be like Ted Turner on Family Guy and colorize the moon.

Then I would probably go out and buy Trish Stratus.
