  I would invest in my small hometown (Washington Court House). The place literally has a Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Dakota's Steakhouse and a bunch of fast food places. Lame. The South end of town is prime for expansion, and that's exactly what I would do. I would purchase franchises (BW3s, movie theater, among other things) and build them in town. But before I did that, I help a friend of mind start his construction company (he's about 2 quarters away from graduating with a degree in construction management). So basically I would be part owner of the construction company that would be building my new businesses. Low risk, high reward. Starting a small business is a horrible idea, but selling a brand name that is already established is easy, just ask Peyton "Papa Johns" Manning. You'd have income and it would help my town. I would probably end up corrupt as fuck, running a cocaine cartel out of Washington Court House. Fuck it.

  The county I call home would freak out over adding those 4 places. McDonalds, Subway, Dollar General and ACE hardware are as good as it gets. I do like your thinking though, smart man.

  More than anything though, id invest in hard assets so in case every bank and government agency I have money with collapses, my hard assets are always there.
  
  Id buy my parents whatever the fuck they wanted..brothers (dey durkie) and sisters too. My good friends id throw a couple hundred thousand.
  
  Throw some money in various stocks and funds, for "fun" I guess.
  
  Other than that...id maintain my career, wouldn't change my personality and my friends, I'd just ball out infnitely more than I do now outside work.

  You'd still work? What for? LOL

  Eh, Idk.
  
  I feel like it'd be sweet for about 3-5 years or so, then I'd get kind of bored and want to get back into a career. It'd be nice to say I could still rise up through a company (and just happen to have 30 mill connected to a debit card in my pocket) despite not needing to.
  
  Like I said, I'd live the same life I live now (it's a pretty awesome one, btw), I'd just go on more vacations and spend 1000x more money on the weekends.
  
  Just imagine this scenario..it's friday afternoon and you had just an absolutely terrible work week. You can find comfort in the fact you can go out that night and drop 5k at a bar, and be fucked up on all types of drugs with all types of women.
  
  If you didn't work...friday nights are monday-monday, you'd get bored of it. You'd lose the "weekend" feeling.

  I could think of 12,000,000 things I'd rather do than work for someone else.

  This. I'd open up a sweet ass sports bar to occupy my weekdays and still have some income coming in

  Didn't realize Powerball tickets had doubled in price to $2. My $20 only buys 10 tickets now, and that sucks. Yes, I realize my odds really aren't any different.

  I guess that's a good point lol
  
  My point was more that I wouldn't just not work.

  I wouldn't work. I'd definitely wouldn't just sit on my ass all day eating popcorn and watching Notre Dame lose bowl games either; I'd find a happy medium.

  What would be your happy medium?
• Azubuike24

  

  Haha.
  
  I'd change the world.
  
  Still figuring out how...but it would be a shitload easier with a few hundred mil.

  Buy a house on ND's campus and play on loop every bowl loss on ND's history.

  So...numbers? I don't have television to see them...
  
  EDIT: Found them...lost. Duh! I only had one number matched on my 3 tickets.
• gut

  One number, each, on 4 out of 10 tickets. FU, powerball.
  
  Better than I usually do, sadly.

  Some assholes in Arizona and Missouri won.

  Well my one of my friends put it best once: It's worth the few bucks to play just to dream for a few days. Not the worst $10-$20 you can spend on entertainment.

  WooooooHoooo!
  
  I hit a powerball with a power play!
  
  Big winner!!!
  
  
  I'm eating at McDonalds today.

  I never play this so I didn't know you can get some back for matching a couple of the numbers.
  
  I think I remember matching 2, but can't find where I put the ticket...would 2 get me any back? haha
