So, You Hit Megamillions for $1.6B

[JMick]

The number it would take the ACC to bite on.

I'm sure if you ask around at Louisville they'll give you an estimate

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I'd move to some island, golf everyday and would never be heard from again.

 

[TheChamps990411]

I would also make sure to put away $100 for the guy I hate at work and give everyone else like ten grand just because he's an

You are aware that youd be sued right? lol Ive read stories of people winning the lottery and having to deal with lawsuits from just about everyone theyve ever come across. They end up paying sometimes because far cheaper than the legal fees of a back and forth between lawyers.
Im not sure what id do with the money. Maybe get a set of really expensive golf clubs. I dont play its just what most rich people do.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I hope someone from CT wins. The state could use the 640 million or so in taxes.

That's why you put it all into a trust

I'm okay with Krinklecut Pavilion.

I am against krinklcut style tiles on inside of dome.

I have thought about this before. If it's $1.6b then you're probably going to get about $700mm if you take the cash option or $1.1bb if you take the annuity. There is plenty of money to throw around. I would probably give away about $100mm to friends/family as a one time, you are never bothering me for money ever again, and then I'd probably spread out another $100mm in donations. At that point you still have $500mm. Live on the 5% interest and never touch the principle again. Even at 5% annually you can donate additional millions every year and it would be plenty of money to get your name on a building and help the school

What safe vehicle offers 5%?

What safe vehicle offers 5%?

When you have $500,000,000 banks will give you higher interest just to keep your money with them.

 

[CTMike]

I would request itemized invoices of the expenses that kept the Yard going for 20 years and reimburse everyone.

I then would give $100,000 to each of my Top 15 fave Yarders.

You are a really swell guy Dove!!!

How much of that is FDIC insured?

well if we're worried about the banks going under then money probably won't mean all that much anyway.

 

[CL82]

I'd want to pony up the cash to name a building "The Boneyard" mostly because I know they'd cringe, but they'd take the cash.

Yeah, I know, it's not my best trait, but as a billionaire I'd embrace it.

Have I mentioned that you are not only a very interesting poster, but a very generous one as well?

 

[huskyinfl]

I won't give UConn a dime. They sold me a brick with my name on it on campus when I graduated and never delivered. They used the money for something else. No trust.

History lesson young man.

It's there... you just have to look @ all the new buildings to find it.

Lol it was supposed to be an expansion to bookworms in the library. Prime real estate.

 

[Dooley]

$700M lump sum distribution.

$50M kept for personal use;
$50M distributed to friends/family;
$100M to create a UConn athletic coaching salary fund w/requirement that we finally spend money needed for good football assistants;
$100M to endowment;
$200M UConn sports facilities renovation fund;
$200M ASPCA (animal lover)

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Not a dime back. I'd like to be retired someday.

 

[the Q]

After paying back my loans....I’d buy a sandwich and call it a day.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I’d buy season tickets and donate them, but that’s about it.

Lots would go to charity, but I’d rather help cure a disease or help people in need than further what is already excessive spending by UConn.

I would get a pair of club seats for the Patriots, and probably a Porsche Macan for me and Range Rover Sport for my wife.

 

[uconnbill]

No way, they would piss it away as they usually would. Now I would help UConn all I could after taking care of family and close friends.

Buy our way into either the Big Ten or ACC. Have to grease the pockets and that would happen.

 

[huskyrob1]

I'd donate $250m to build a six lane hwy to Storrs and another $200m to build a massive on campus stadium.

 

[jleves]

Lump sum is 904million. 37% tax rate leaves you with 569m. Ct takes more.. not sure how much. But it doesn't matter for me cause I'm on vacation in one of the 6 states that do not allow lotteries.

$50M distributed to friends/family;

Have I mentioned how the BY wasn't the same when you weren't posting? Good to have you back buddy!
