Powerball at 700 Million...what would you buy?

The National: goodbye AC and Cleveland, hello Las Vegas!

A politician.

Every GDMF card I ever wanted and a home with a hellacious man-cave to enjoy them from.

I'd give 10 mil to my daughter's public high school so they don't have to raise money all the time to fund their programs. The next 10 after that goes to my favorite public radio station on condition that they never, ever do fund drives during my favorite shows, except that the drive time host I like gets 15 minutes to bitch about how corrupt and rotten station management is, because he does that all the time and it cracks me up.

I'd have pastrami from Katz's Deli flown in for lunch every Saturday. That would make my father very happy.

I'd hire Van Halen to play my birthday party.

Ringside seats for every major fight in Vegas.

Some cargo shorts.

Maybe something for the wife?

This is the best idea I've read so far....next to mine. I wonder if they ship to Bora Bora?

Weird part of the Powerball winner this morning - they announced the winning ticket was sold in Watertown, MA, at a store a block from where my kids go to daycare. The place was abuzz this morning when I went by - media trucks lined up and down the street.

Then a few hours later, the lottery realized they F'd up and the winning ticket was actually sold 90 miles away. Hope the first store owner wasn't lined up to get a giant bonus for selling the winner, then had it taken away, Steve Harvey style!

My first thought was "...something ocean-going."

But then there's this.

The woman who won seems not to have taken the advice.

Also, there is a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Mark Cuban says always take the annuity, hire a tax lawyer, say no to everyone (because no one needs a million dollars for anything and you already know what the people in your life truly need), don't make any investments, put all the money in the bank.

Seems like sound advice to me. That said, I'd buy every E90-1 Tris Speaker card I could find.
