With the Mega Million lottery at 550 million what if.
The stash you could have, controlling interest in a model company you can then have the kits you want.
Ah to dream and also wonder if you have any relative that would bump you off .

Would you believe that on the Oct. 23 drawing of the Florida Lotto worth 20 million, I had one number and was off by one digit on the remaining five numbers! [:‘(] [:’(]
How does the saying go If it wasn’t for bad luck I would not have any.
Dave
The more stories I read about people who win the lottery, the less I want to win it.
with you on that one dirk. That kind of money would be the death of me, But…?
I have had that dream too :
Now what I would do is ,by some considered , nuts .I would use the cash to set up on their land ( the V.A. ) a HOBBY SHOP for veterans who have long term hospitalization issues .With a nice large , dis-abled accessable build room and canteen .Yes , seperate from what they do have .Why , to get in an environment wher B.S.ing is allowed as they build and paint their models ( Which is not allowed in many facility craft rooms ) and the canteen where a dietition expert has their meal profile so they can have safe snacks and drinks while they build . This would be at every V.A.facility in the country if I could make it so … Then a chain of discount Hobby stores that the part of the population that lives on fixed incomes ( Social Security , Etc , ) could get HEAVY discounts for their models and supplies and thus re-gain that part of their independence at least . Then I would buy me a New loaded ! KIA -SEDONA to replace my loaded 2003 one !
If I won $550 million jackpot, I’d find a real Spitfire or De Havidlland Mosquito and restore it. LOL! ANy spare cash leftover, a classic car of my dreams - 1966 Chevy Impala SS, new house, vacation to England and Italy, maybe China and African Safari. Oh yeah let’s not forget Disney!! LOL!
House improvements: new kitchen, new roof, new windows, insulation, new driveway and garage floor.
An addition for a man cave/model building room for me including a 70 inch HDTV w/ surround sound. LOL!
Trust fund for my son’s college education as well as a small trust fund for my nieces and nephews for their college education.Any long lost friends/relatives that come out of the woodwork, I’d tell them to get lost!
Did I mention more model kits, paints and supplies? Now you know. LOLOLOLOL!!!
Ah well, all ya need is a dollar and a dream…
Yea,but I think I would want to give it a shot
I think putting that much money to work helping other like our wounded vets would make winning it worthwhile.
As for my personal toy, a restored P51D Mustang.
The FIRST thing you do is change your phone number. Next is to have your lawyer tell the lottery to NOT reveal your name. Then, you can do whatever you want to.
I’ve got enough kits for the next 150 years but I could use a few new tools and a '34 Ford Sedan Street Rod. After the bills are paid, then it’s CHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL time. No more worries till they put me 6 feet under.

Ooops, almost forgot. Have your accountant pay all applicable taxes. We don’t want the IRS interfering in our fun now, do we? [;)]
The dream just got wilder 586 million and its not even Tues night.
That much money will bring change, if not you then the people around you for sure.
$586,000,000 is an insane amount of money. Could make a lot of people happy. I dont know if multiple winners/syndicates win the lottery more often in the USA than individuals. In Australia, individual winners are becoming more scarce. The company doesnt even advertise the prospect of a single winner any more, just the “chance to share” in the winning prize. Biggest over here was about $100,000,000 I think, and things got a little crazy, with TV stories, etc. Got my ticket in the $70,000,000 tonight, so a few more hours dreaming yet…
My moms’ friend know a woman who’s husband was running around on her. When he was caught, he said he wanted a divorce. A few month after the divorce was final, she hit the lottery for around $10 million. Karma is a b-----. (No my mom didn’t get anything. lol).
