You sure could. I'd mostly buy nice preowned/used boats, to save room for a few more:

I would absolutely buy/order a new 46 Skater to keep in Florida. Merc 1350's obviously, & totally tricked out otherwise. Poker Runs, regular runs to the Keys, Bahamas, etc, would be it's primary occupation. Est: $8-900k insured.

I would buy one of the preowned 46 Cigarettes on the market, & have everything freshened up to my liking. It would stay in Florida with the Skater, for days we wanted downstairs room and speed. Est: $500k total, after freshening.

I'd buy a clean preowned Intrepid fishing boat. Est: $2-300k insured.

I'd buy a sweet preowned 45-60ft Pershing, Magnum, or similar performance yacht, for island, key, & bar hopping with the fellas & bikinis. Est: around $2-3 million docked & insured.

I'd buy a ridiculously tricked out pontoon boat, for here at the lake on days we don't want to mess with the 368 I would keep. :drink: Est: $50k beached & carrying liability.

Roughly $4.7 spent, so the remaining balance would cover a little fuel. My friends can buy the drinks :drink:

Those would keep me busy for awhile.

minus state and federal taxes. If state tax is 6% and federal is 35% (Obama extended the cut Bush started) then you get just over 127MM cash.

Pi$$ away 12MM on homes, cars, boats, jets whatever and you still have 115MM to live on. 115 at even 3% after taxes is 3.45MM every year for life!

Take the 26 year payment plan (330/26) and you will gross 12.7 a year (minus taxes).

Either way it is a lot of fun for someone to spend!



That show "Real Tragedies of Lottery Winners" outlines quite a few pitfalls. I worked for a guy that won 2 lotteries (3MM and 20MM) and his life "SUCKED." Guy was dead 10 years after winning the 2nd jackpot.

$152 !!! Had that 25 been a 35 it would have been $250,000

Nice!

I would delete the Pershing/Magnum and substitute a 60ish Sportfish w/ the big 2400 HP motors! :D

The used deals would be at significant savings vs. new!

That sucked! But it was a good deal on a $5 investment and you now know your heart is ok, it had to be pumping hard when you were looking at the numbers!

It was at 295 Million on Saturday, they must of recalibrated the sales and upped it...

I have it covered two ways...

Several friends over on Saturday Night and we all chipped in $5 for a community pool when I made a beer run...They all are boat owners so if these tickets win Miami will welcome my group with open arms!!!

2nd chance, This morning when I was going to work I bought $20 for tomorrow nights Tuesday drawing and $20 for this coming Friday drawing just in case nobody wins tomorrow night, as we are leaving to go to Costa Rica tomorrow morning until Monday for a friends wedding (fellow Nor-tech Owner) that way I'm covered!!!

Hopefully I win the BIG money when I'm on Vacation and can start shopping!!!!

One of those LOTO specials with the 525 merc!
80 on Grand Lake in a pontoon.

Can you get the big magnum for our golf outing to Key Largo?

I had the mega number, 9 on the last draw which earned me $2. I spent the $2 on two more quick picks for tomorrow's draw, maybe I should buy a few more?

I'd pick up two boats to start with, this 2011 39 Top Gun in Texas: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...OPGUN-96973406

And this Sunseeker Superhawk 43
http://www.boats.com/boat-details/Su...awk-43/1164230

Along with a house on the water in Miami, that would get me started...
