Who is holding the highest Power Ball ticket? What would you do if you won $180,000,000.00?

That is so much money, I would donate half of it and open up a foundation to help other people.

I don't think you have a choice.   ???   Isn't that one of the things you "agree" to when you accept the money?  I could totally be wrong.  I've never won more than $20 on a scratch off.

I'd donate a big chunk.  After that I have no idea!  Oh, definitely get an attorney and Financial Adviser!

That's  180 million. I think I would stop working and start doing more philanthropy work and travel as much as I can. No attorney here I don't trust them.

It would be nice if you could hand someone some money to help them through a rough patch.


Of course Sluff and I would continue to cleanse the dirty squirrels. After all they don't chose to be that way.  :rofl;

That would be excellent philanthropy work. I wish I would have thought of that Romona.  :rofl; Maybe give them all Afro's so that we know where we left off so we could make sure we cleansed them all, kind of a spiritual thing don't ya know.
