Would like to think that I wouldn't change to much, maybe buy me a new BassCat. Donate to worthy charitable causes. Maybe get one of the new vettes and get it out on Sunday to cruise around then put it back up. I really don't see this problem happening anytime in my near future.

Oh yeah. I would buy the local school district, and immediately fire all those lazy [censored] teachers who only work 3/4 of a year. Overpaid bastards. Taking all of my tax money. I hate them so much.

So assuming $500M.... It would go something like this...

1. I'd hire some lawyers and money managers to get everything set up and protected.
2. I'd change all my contact information.
3. I'd set up a trust for my family and extended family to draw from (Probably 50M). I'd give the lawyers some general guidance and have them manage the distribution so nobody gets mad at me. Nobody gets rich, but they get help with transportation housing etc... Main focus would be paying for future generations education.
4. I'd buy a bunch of land somewhere and turn it into my own kind of Eden. The idea would be to have virtually all my food come from this land and the animals on it. I'd hire a lot of help to make this happen.
5. I'd buy a place somewhere in the Bahamas near great fishing.
6. I'd buy a place in the north near great fishing.
7. I'd never fly commercial again.
8. Work on making the wife and kids dreams come true.
9. Fish, I'd fish a lot, all the best places, all the best times.
10. I'd travel and see the world on my terms.

Wouldn't 3/3 of a year be all year, anger and hate are such admirable traits.

House in the Mountains somewhere. Preferably Jackson Hole area, fly fishing boat, Land Rover Defender 90 and half a dozen snowmobiles

Old house in downtown McKinney historic district, new F-150 King Ranch

That should keep me busy for the next 10 years anyways

hire a lawyer.
set up trust funds for my kids and grandkids, with stipulations. Such as they must get an education, or serve in the military. Own a legit, profitable business, or work a full time job.

make sure my parents and in-laws are comfortable for the rest of their lives.

For myself. I'd travel the world and experience as much as I could before I take a dirt nap.

oh, and I'd treat the whole TFF to ice cream and beers.

Anything under 60 degrees or over 95 would make me mad enough to relocate.

I's have several homes, most in the US but maybe one in Panama and Coast Rico. I'd definitely try to buy 100 acres on Rayburn with good waterfrontage.

Oh, I'd build several small RV parks.

1. Set trust funds for my sister, niece, and nephew.
2. Hunt the dangerous seven.
3. Fish for peacock bass in South America.
4. Deep-sea fishing around the world.
5. Catch a tarpon.
6. Guided bass fishing on all the top fishing lakes.
7. A custom-built Truck.
8. Custom homes in New Mexico and Arizona, Texas Hill country.
9. Cram as much life as I can in the next 10 to 15 years as I can.
10. Maybe my own jet to fly all the places I want to go.
11. The list goes on and on.

I will never have to worry about what I would do. Why? Because I refuse to waste money on these lotteries. Why? Fear of winning.

So....you’d move to Southern California?

I’d move next to WAWI and buy a really nice stereo playing “The eyes of Texas” 24/7.

Id move to the ranch in Wyoming and no one would ever hear from me again. I’m already trying to figure out how I can do that now.

If you could expedite that, that would be great.
