What would you do with 1.5 Billion dollar win? Custom Cigar?

Well, now that the dust has settled . . . nope. I didn't win it either. :rolleyes:

But three folks did. And that brings up something I've always wondered about, because it happens on a lot of big jackpots. You're watching on TV, or feverishly checking online, and you see your numbers, and DAMN! WOOHOOO!

And then you find out you're splitting it. Do you suppose there's a brief second there where people were actually disappointed they were ONLY getting half a billion dollars? ;)

Absolutely... Here you are thinking you won 1.5 billion dollars and contemplating what you are going to do with that absurd amount of money only to find out 30 plus minutes later that 2 other people in other states won too...
 
I'm surprised it was only two other people. I think last time there was a huge powerball, it was split 7 ways. Or was that just a 7 person pool?
 
I don't play the lottery but this is the one real benefit of playing...getting to dream. I certainly would follow a lot of what has already been said and add to it an all expenses paid World Golf Tour for me and a few friends. Travel first class and play all the great courses around the world.

I'd be happy with enough money to buy a small vineyard and start my own winery. Anything more then that would just be icing in the cake.

Let me introduce you to one of the sites I visit when in the throes of ticket-inspired daydreaming . . . lol. :confused:

http://www.lionard.com/find/property/italy

It's actually . . . not unaffordable. Oh, unaffordable for a schoolteacher, yes, or the average Joe. But it wouldn't actually take that large a jackpot to have a nice little estate in, say, the Chianti region Tuscany that produced its own wine and olive oil.

*sigh*

I used to look at a similar site which had both Italian and French vineyards/luxury estates on it. Killer is the taxes in those countries.

I'm starting to get angry that no one has picked up on my Office Space reference.



Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.

Peter Gibbons: That’s it? If you had a million dollars, you’d do two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.

Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that’d double up on me do.

Peter Gibbons: Good point.

Lawrence: What about you, what would you do?

Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Well yeah.

Peter Gibbons: Nothing.

Lawrence: Nothing, huh?

Peter Gibbons: I’d relax, sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.

Lawrence: Well you don’t need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he’s broke, don’t do shit."

Wyatt, I got it... just read it a day and a half late. I've been busy putting cover sheets on my TPS reports... I got the memo...

Getting back to Danno's OP... I'd go through Casa Fernandez & TABSA. Probably something akin to Illusione or Warped. No brainer, right? AGANORSA tobacco is where it's at, at least with what we have access to.
 
I go Padron but it would be to pricey- I'd go with Pepin just to pissem' off.

I thought hard about Padron. My two top brands for many years was Fuente and Padron. I think I was worried that to my knowledge, he might have limited experience when it comes to a variety of tobaccos. I could be dead wrong.

Combining Office Space with the Office... it works on many levels. Genius!

In further thinking about this hypothetical lottery win, I'd round up my fellow Illusione whores--Danno, Gavin, Caesar, Jason, Jerry, Brian, Ken, and anyone else I forgot--fly us all down to Esteli. We'd herf it up and blend something awesome at TABSA.
