I'd put some of money into Chinese business opportunities, some into hedge funds. I'd also consider opening my own casino over in Macau. I would want to use the money to make more money, grow old then die.

Cool

Invest heavily in Poppy fields in Afghanistan and coca Plantations in Peru. Got to help out the 3rd world economy.

Maybe live on a Hemp Plantation in Jamaica too.

Until the US legalizes some drugs that's where the money is!

Why even try.........

First I would quit my job , buy a bigger truck & camper and hit the road for a month or two and see the country. pay off families bills. Give some to the friends I already have....NOT the ones that try to be my friends after the dough.....pay off my own bills...buy several hundred acres and plop a cozy log cabin in the middle of it......donate to the organizations that have made a difference in my life..... and last but not least..I would figure out what I was making each day on interest in the bank and accordingly hand out hundred dollar bills to random people I meet! I dont know why but I always thought that would be cool! Can you imagine how many peoples days you'd make? Probably not feasible though because then you would get the greedy ones chasing you for more or the sceptical ones wondering what was wrong with you.......


ooh and then I would buy a private beach for use buy s-b members only/.......

Simplify.......

I'd do a lot with it that is for sure.
maybe buy the backbeach
invest in some cool stuff
fund many charities
the list would be long
buy a house on Cutty, one on Nantucket, on MV, and NC, and Hawaii, Keys and maybe Cali or alaska too

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Then what would you do with the $37.50 you have left over?

Ahh, Mike. spoken with the wisdom of one who sold a home on Long Island, and the real estate taxes that came with it......

California is great. In addition to not being able to buy a 1000 sq ft bungalow for under $750,000, they have this wonderful thing called Proposition 13. It basically froze property taxes for existing homeowners. Which is a great thing if you've owned your house for 30 years. But, how do you think they make up for it? By sticking it to new purchasers.

I'd quit work, grow a beard, buy a nice sportfishing boat and fish the world. Oh yeah, and plenty of strippers. And fire trucks. Magic mushrooms.....

I would quit my job. I'd buy a house right on the ocean in RI. I'd get a nice luxury car. I would travel a lot , all around the world.

I would buy a drink from the fountain of youth (what!! not even for 380 million??..oh well ) .

Anyway , If you win 380 million , you would be hard pressed to spend even the interest each year. To get around the problem of spending that much money , I would find a wife. In a short time I'd be broke again.
