What Would You Do If You Won Tonight’s $1.5 Billion Powerball Jackpot?
I’m not usually one of those people who get Powerball fever, but with a record-breaking $1.5 billion jackpot up for grabs, you’d better believe that I picked up a ticket on my way to work this morning!
The odds of winning this historic jackpot are 292 million to 1.. So while it looks like most of us will be heading off to work tomorrow, as Lloyd would say, “So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
So what would you do with $1.5 billion if you won? Yeah, we’d all pay off our debt, buy a big house and fill up the garages with exotic cars. But what would you splurge on?
Take a trip to the moon for $750 million? Buy the Playboy mansion for $200 million? Stay at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai for $35,444 a night? Fly around the world in your own $65 million Gulfstream G650? Maybe buy a super yacht for $275 million? The possibilities are endless..
Sound off in the comments section below and let us know what you’d spend the money on!

If I win, I’ll:
-Try not to have a heart attack from the shock, excitement, and fear
-Contact a lawyer, financial adviser, etc for advice
-Quit my job gracefully
-Make a list of true friends before the millions hit
-Develop a gift plan for friends and family who are closest to me
-Start a 100% free, hands-on vocational type education system for 14 and older people wanting to learn skills to supplement what high school doesn’t teach you anymore, such as fabrication, metal work, auto shop, electronics lab, etc with a full time engineering staff to teach and work on R&D projects
-Buy a large plot of land to build a house, a flat track, kart track, and a full road course on, with a fleet of motorcycles, dirt bikes, go karts, etc.
-Perform random acts of kindness

I’d have a Brabus 6×6, a 911 GTS for daily driving, a fully built wrangler on 40s, an SRT GC for the wife, and an S65 coupe for a “go to dinner” car.
Don’t need anything else in the US. I’d had an incredible house somewhere in the Rockies, 40 acres of mountain land, a 20-bay 30-foot ceilings detached garage with 4 lifts, 5 pits, and a 10000sf loft/studio above it. The large chunk would be parked/invested, take care of family and friends, donate to various charities, and that’s about it.
I can live the kind of life I would be EXTREMELY happy with with just the interest I’d get from this much money at 1%.
