Yes. Already have my eye on a private island.

I would buy a very good lawyer and a very good wealth management expert who can help me claim and administer the money while maintaining total anonymity.

No. But it's a fun exercise. I'm taking the 930MM payout and after taxes your looking at pocketing 530MM. I'm skipping the annuity because I don't trust the government told hold nearly a Billion dollars of my money for 30 years. I'm taking 15MM and setting up a 30 year annuity for my parents and another 15MM in a 50 year annuity for the rest of my family to be administered by a arbitrator. I'd probably do 25MM in a 50 year for myself. So that leaves 475MM to try and convince the Blue Mountain Forest Association to sell me Corbins Park.

Totally on board with skipping the annuity!

New Hampshire is so great because we could both claim anonymously AND avoid state tax.

Do you think a jackpot winner could move here prior to claiming the prize?

Do tell!

Netjets share

Beach house in Maine

One for my mom as well

Throw some money at My sister and brother

Throw at little money at my in-laws 🫠

Take care of a few friends as well

Quit my job with a smile on my face

Wife wants to open a sanctuary for dogs. Might be a good non profit for tax purposes

If I hit it I’d immediately start giving it away.

> I'm taking the 930MM payout and after taxes your looking at pocketing 530MM.

Closer to $700M

I think I’d donate 99% of it. That’s just way too much money.

Lawyer up.

Get a place in both NH and where my SO's family is.

Toss a bunch of money at fam/buds, and a few other people I see on my shopping runs. And our elderly neighbor who should be retired but can't in this shit system.

Start a dog rescue. (and help out some good charities.)

Snuggle pups every day and live happily ever after.

With that much? I’d set a little aside for me to live comfortably, and spend the rest making everyone else slightly more comfortable.

I like this dog rescue opportunity.

I'd do my best Scrooge McDuck impersonation.

It has always been a dream, but it would definitely be a full-time thing. unfortunately, bills need to be paid (and my pups taken care of haha) so instead, I try to volunteer at a local one whenever they need them. :) Furbabs need our love.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I find it hard to believe you are interested in making anyone else's life slightly more comfortable Mr. Almighty fart bucket

That's very big of you.

I don’t believe you can move after winning and claim state privileges.

I hear there’s an NFL team for sale. I’d call up Bezos and see if I can get in on the deal.

I would probably end up buying a lot of property and leaving it in a conservation trust. Honestly, I’ve always had a dream of buying a mall or some huge old factory, tearing it down, and making it into a park.

Realistically though, I’d make sure my family is all set, and do a lot of donating. Only keeping enough to live and maintain a comfortable, but not excessive, lifestyle.

How much to your brother and sister? Dollar amount each from this +/-$1.6 billion jackpot. Just curious

Southeast Land Trust of NH (S.E.L.T) all the way. I didn't win the lottery and probably never will, but I am still leaving them all my money when I kick it and give as generously as I can while I'm still around.

Gonna buy the van graft generator (lightning machine) from the museum of science and have it turned into a suit

Holy crap! I had to Google that but totally remember that indoor lighting show as a kid!

Cool, I’ll check them out

Sometimes I think I could be pretty happy just having the time to fully enjoy all the things I have in my life now without having to work so much...and then other times I want a Ferrari

Sister and I have never got along, only calls when she need something etc so 5m to make her jsit go away and she will probably complain about it not being enough

Brother, technically my half brother had a rough life Due to Psychiatric issues, everyone is out to get him people follow him etc - id give him 10mil he’s a smart mofo when It comes to investing so he will easily blow that up to a-lot more

Edit: I know it wasn’t asked but mom would get whatever she wants money or stuff wise

And remember cash take home would be what 970ish? Then taxes when all is said and done I’d be left with roughly 600mil? Can’t give it all away 🤡

Buy a major social media platform?

Probably go into hiding to prevent being murdered

Wow! So full sis gets half of what half bro gets! Oof! Lol! Still pretty generous.

I have a big family. I was thinking million each immediately (anonymously of course) and then just buy all sorts of crazy stuff all the time

Not that absurd actually!

A good llc lawyer with tight lips.

Add an extra lane to I-93 between Manchester and Nashua.

That shit is crazy bro.

Buy 100s of acres in the bold coast of maine for when Massachusetts inevitably invaded Nh

I’ll have a new old man of the mountain actually carved into a mountain.

That’s the beauty of it, you don’t have to believe for me to want to do something nice for others

Geeze. Pay off my kid's mortgage and cars. Pay off my sister's house and car. College funds for the grandkids. Help out some friends. Give generously to some of the lesser known LGBTQIA charities, since they're almost always hurting for donations. Definitely a few mil to go to the Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society. Maybe finally buy myself a house.

You should start a Gofundme

I believe you...I was spoofing on your username

I grabbed a ticket. No idea what I would do.

Well, first I’d hire someone to handle all of my finances. Then I’d buy a new car.

I’d buy land in NH, and also on the coast of Maine. I’d build a modest home, but well designed & with really nice materials.

I’d purchase the best mental health care on the East Coast that money can buy for my sibling who is mentally ill, and probably a therapy dog.

Since my sister thinks that she married rich I wouldn’t disabuse her of that notion, I’d just take my nephews on cool trips.

I’d want to support a bunch of family members anonymously & help them all retire comfortably.

I’d travel a lot & bounce around: purchase a couple small chalets & cabins in mountainous areas and/or near the ocean. Iceland, NZ, etc.

Definitely would want to donate to the National Parks & WMNF. Also would set up a foundation to help fund better mental health access.

On the more petty side of things: I’d buy out the Cog Railway guy and then immediately afterwards tell him to fuck off. Oh, and I would purchase billboards to shit-talk a few specific politicians & judges, making sure that the billboards would be visible on their daily commute. Figure out whatever I can donate $ to that would most spite the Koch brothers & just throw a bunch of money at it.

Then I’d jaunt off to India for a nice yoga retreat and never think about any of those fuckers again, because I’d be paying someone else to do that!

I'd buy a bunch of random plots of land, and build homes. Anyone who qualifies for it can purchase it for $1

Just one more lane bro…

I'd buy and DRS GameStop.

A bunch of Powerball tickets!

I’d buy some politicians and see to it that weed was legal and every nickel collected from taxing cannabis was used to improve our schools and attract good teachers.

r/oddlyspecific

Maybe call the communities something nice like Section 8cres

#1: tell no one.

[removed]

1. Never show up to work again!! The rumors abound. What happened to McMagz?? Did she have a secret baby? Was she murdered? Did she leave her husband? Should we start a podcast? 2. Pay off my parents’ mortgages, my brothers’, and my own. 3. Start a dramatic podcast about my disappearance.

I don’t think 93 goes near Nashua. Maybe 3. 93 goes down to Salem.

r/fuckcars

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

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money

Well, not all chicks.

Keep my job and not spend a dime of it ever, just to perplex my coworkers, friends and family.

Lol I spend a lot of time thinking about what I’d do with a lottery win. More like r/copingmechanismsforwhenyouresickofyourjob

OK, I definitely need the backstory on the Cog Railway guy!

I might be able to afford a house if I take the lump sum.

Pay off my house, set up a trust for my kids and grandkids, and spend the rest of my days doing things I like.

I intend to make a very generous cash offer to Palace Entertainment Holdings LLC for 100% ownership of Water Country.

My first course of action will be to replace the water with Polar seltzer.

I don't play the lotto. But if I ever came into a large sum of money, nobody outside of my household would ever know about it.

Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Maybe….something small.

I'm not sharing my private island!!

The only reason anyone in my household would even know is because they wouldn’t see me again either.

What would you do with the park?

I would invest half of it in low-risk mutual funds and take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities and…

Poor people spend money. Wealthy people invest it.

Edit: I definitely bought a ticket. If anyone wins this lottery they would be wise to hold off from heavily investing in this market and buy luxury boats, housing and cars.

I'd amend that to "Tell a good lawyer and no one else", but same.

[deleted]

This belongs in r/fuckyouinparticular also.

Hide from people until I die then donate it to the Forest Society.

Can I drive around on the roads in the park? It gets boring going down the same trail along the fenceline all the time.

[deleted]

Ah yes, that explains the mansions, superyachts, luxury cars, etc. Because wealthy people don't spend money.

Idiot.

That’s very fair, and I think a lot of folks will agree with that. A Ferrari would be cool, but a 911 has always been my thing. I think you could have and balance both without losing the middle ground.

In the end I would do my absolute best to stay anonymous, unfortunately that includes ‘hiding’ the scale of any newfound wealth from family. I’ve seen how excessive money ruins people, and want no part of that.

Sure. When I'm dead.

And not too close to the seacoast...

World wide cruise for two years so I can drop off the grid until folks forget about it.

I'd pay off my mortgage, renovate the house/yard, set up a college fund for the kids, and donate the rest

Under Bidenomics, I would buy the XL pack of Ramen

Deal.

Maybe hire a world class private investigator and finally catch the murderer(s)?

Congratulations! You just won millions of dollars in the lottery! That's great.

First, I’d pay off my sister’s student loans and probably buy her a house.

For myself I’d buy an island on winnisquam, but not a nice one a really small one with nothing/an abandoned structure. I’d make it only comfortable enough to house one person and I wouldn’t build a dock or anything. Whenever I wanted to be alone I would have the perfect place.

I’d make sure to donate a lot to the loon sanctuary before using the rest to give my enemies an ego check, in whatever way seems most opportune in the moment.

Your local politicians

All friends and family get their mortgage paid off (or put into a trust to pay their mortgage, nobody needs the taxes of a fully owned home).

Joking aside, if I had this kind of money, I would definitely be getting our local and state politicians on the phone if they did anything I didn't like. I mean, that's the only people they really listen to.

🖤

Lake Winnipesaukee

Mr. Kaczynski, I presume.

Can you donate it to me?

>Idiot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well played!

GREAT IDEA!

Besides taking care of friends and family, I'd buy all the abandoned or nearly abandoned malls in Northern New England and then pay off PB's and ZBA's to allow housing (talking to you here Newington) and stock it with affordable housing (somewhere between 60 - 80% AMI). Some, but little Section 8. I'd put in covenants that made them affordable in perpetuity.

Also, I'd probably buy that awesome property in Kittery a few houses before Seapoint Beach.

The most successful way to live after having won the lottery, is to live as if you hadn't won the lottery.

I’d literally hire a half dozen trustworthy folks to help me with all future task my wife comes up with and execute all the ways we share and spend the ridiculous amount of money.

Buy a newer home and put it right where my old home is, set up trusts for my kids to receive money once they've reached 25 and then set myself up with a yearly allowance that would cover my basic cost of living and any vacations I'd want to take that year. Then I'd go back to work and just keep doing what I've always done.

One tank of heating oil.

I bought a ticket and said to my wife "If we win, what will you do with your half?"

It took her a second, then she blew some air out her nose.

I would become a professional philanthropist.

Disappear.

Edit: came back and realized it almost sounds like im telling OP to disappear

Just so its clear I was saying if I won I would disappear

Little houses, cabins and huts all over the world. Maybe sell margaritas on a beach somewhere.

If only federal, state, and local building codes, energy efficiency standards, historic preservation, environmental regulations, and zoning ordinances weren’t a thing.

Hulu will turn it into a series.

I like the way this person thinks.

A trust fund for the rescue where I volunteer.

Canada 🇨🇦 !

You sound like a hot catch..

LOL on the one in a trillion chance I do win, a majority of it would go towards trying to "end" the drug and homelessness problem in Manchester. You can't really save the world and fix everything but I'd like to think more shelters and more programs would make a big impact on them

In that case, you'll like my answer to the question. Not sure as I'm mostly computer illiterate, but if you click on my profile I think you can find it.

Some goddamn peace and quiet

I would buy Claremont NH with it. The entire thing could be purchased for between 600 and 800 million bucks.

It would be kind of a joke purchase, but then, about 1/60th as expensive as purchasing Twitter as a joke was, but probably as many laughs.

What would the benefits be? Would it just be like owning the land that was public land

Well I could have a really loud party and it would be ok since I'd be my own neighbors. They have a Hannaford so I could probably get like, some steaks and potatoes, maybe get really crazy and play some cornhole with some beanbags. I dunno. Dream big, they say

Lol it’s not too interesting. I just don’t like how Presby was angling to put a “luxury hotel” in the alpine zone and then (since that was poorly received) pivoted to proposing sleeper cars in an area they are calling Lizzie’s Station. I believe out of 18 cars 9 will hold up to 70 overnight guests, with fiber optic, bathrooms (yay more alpine sewage), and concession.

A little tea gets spilled here and here.

Currently there are 3-4 trains that go directly to the summit to unload (on the hour, I think) adding to the congestion (thousands of visitors) at the summit . The new plan says that only one car will go back and forth to unload at the summit, the rest will disembark at Lizzie’s Station (with passengers having the option to walk up to the summit or ride). The claim is that this development is a good thing, and will help with congestion.

I’m wondering how many back & forths the one car will do every hour (I assume the same amount as now, but who knows). I like how the chaos is currently solely contained to two ugly parking lots, a viewing deck, and the buildings/sign area. Walk past all that, hop over the tracks, and it’s fairly peaceful. The heavier flow of traffic is always going to Lake of the Clouds because it’s the closest real destination that someone hopping off a train or shuttle can reasonably “hike” to. With this there will be way more of a stream of people on the other side as well.

I’m pro-observatory and I’m all for encouraging people who wouldn’t normally engage with the outdoors to foster a connection to nature. That being said, I know how people use the summit and can predict what this expansion will do… I don’t think encouraging sprawl is beneficial. The dude can park cars at the bottom/create a hotel there… he just knows that’s not as glamorous/profitable.

What are “the taxes of a fully owned home?
