Bag the Formula, get a 54 Searay with diesels/pod drives! You can't buy the same boat as Mental.....You need to be the big fish on that lake!

I've driven that boat enough on LOTO to know it is about the perfect LOTO boat for what I do. Hard to dock a 54 Sea Ray at Franky and Louies.

If you won this kinda of money you could buy them too and add dock space for the bigger boat

People's lives go sour after winning because they forget the value of a dollar. Many times, they get themselves strung out on payment plans. After a few years, every dime coming in is earmarked for a previous expense. So they checks come in, but hey have nothing to live on. Of course, their friends all know they won big money and want their piece. When the winner doesn't share, friend no more.

If I won the lottery, I would have a legal representative pick it up for me. Do my best to keep it a secret. Fortunately, already making very good money so people would assume the increased lifestyle was a result of that, not lottery. That way, they won't bang on my door looking for their hand-outs.

Good plan on part A..............but "already making good money" is probably a bit short of this kind of coin!

Only suckers tell people they won the lottery. The 2011 Blind Trust collected the check would be pretty anonymous! A big jackpot was just claimed that way in Michigan a few months ago.

True, not making that kind of money, but doing pretty well nonetheless.

However, I would buy a rig that runs in tandem with Freedom US1 (shout-out to Mr. Lee) and a large convertible fishing yacht, maybe 70' with a cabin so the wife can drop the idea of my cat having a cabin.

I was being ultra ultra conservative, but OK I'll take that, I'll let everybody know tomorrow that I won, "NOT"


Hey, ya gotta dream big, somebody's gonna win it, might as well be me and yes I would go out and make a few boat builders real happy.
