Title: powerball
Post by: OK_Cat on November 28, 2012, 04:23:16 PM
what are you going to spend the money on if you win?

of course the obvious stuff like pay everything off, etc.

i'd probably buy a helicopter.  that seems like fun.

i'd buy steve dave's company and block goEMAW for 1 day, and then sell the company back.

All the floor seats at Bram, for goEMAW.  2 or 3 huge suites at BSFS, also for goEMAW. 

Also I'd just pay people to do stupid stuff for my amusement.  And I'd get all the tigers I talked about in Pete's thread.

if you take the lump sum you're getting $360 million.  is it possible to even spend that much (without buying a $360 million mansion or something)???

No, they withhold taxes so you get about half that.

No amount of money is too large to blow.  There are people who could blow it in no time.  You have to think big.  Bad business investments and giving it away to family and BAM!  Its gone.

Not its not, they still withhold.

Rule of thumb is that you will clear about 25% of the listed total (550M) if you take the cash option.

I don't think this is right.  Admittedly, I have LIRSIQ, but it seems like when the other ppl win and they report the cash out, it is usually like 45% or so of the total.

25% seems ungodly low.
Title: powerball
Post by: Pete on November 28, 2012, 04:34:15 PM
I've looked into this before.

The cash option will pay you around 137M, due to the withholding.  That's what they will deposit into your account.
Title: Re: powerball
Post by: OK_Cat on November 28, 2012, 04:34:49 PM
would it be a better option to take the payment option instead of the lump sum option?

137m would still be a great retirement

I'd probably give to the Salvation Army -- not all of it, but I know there aren't many organizations in which that high of a percentage of donated funds actually go to their causes and not to overhead.

FWIW:
The $550 million jackpot is actually a $360 million jackpot. You can either take the $360 million or have the lottery purchase a 29-year annuity for you to get the advertised $550 million.

If you live in Kansas and take the lump sum, you will owe a 25 percent federal tax and 5 percent state tax, leaving you with about $252 million or one really nice limestone/lazy river around BSFS.

Here is a thing I am going to do when I win the powerball....

I am going to get a really sturdy, safe car (might even add some safety features) and then I am going to drive in traffic. I will obey all traffic laws but I will not avoid running into dumbasses that do not follow the laws like turning into the proper lane, turning after their light has turned red, etc.
Looks like i'll get to spend it all by myself after you die. :woot:

Did you miss the part about having a really safe car with extra safety features? And these will be minor wrecks. No injuries, just a bunch of hassle and inconvenience for the stupid drivers.

I'd pay off my parents house first. Buy a myself house in the $500k range. Then just invest a chunk of it and also collect interest off what I pocket. Once the interest starts accumulating then I'd make some more vanity purchases (vacation homes, elite level cars). If my investments pay off, then start doing crazy crap like travelling the world and dining at Michelin Star restaurants on the reg.

What do you get after taxes? $350m? I don't think that is generational amounts of money if you don't invest some of it. If I won, retired now, and lived another 40 years, I absolutely could blow through all of it. Especially if I went off the deep end with purchases.

Whatever the take-home amount would be, I would be sure that in my lifetime I would have given away just as much.  It'd be pretty easy, too.  And real charities like St Judes and Shriners and stuff like that.  And when I die I'd give the rest to the Nature Conservancy or something.

After taxes, the net from taking the lump sum is approx $422M.

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/11/tallying-the-big-tax-bite-of-a-14b-powerball-win.html (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/11/tallying-the-big-tax-bite-of-a-14b-powerball-win.html)

I would have a hard time spending 10% of that in my lifetime, especially considering the money you don't spend immediately will accrue interest for the next year's expenditures. Theoretically, you could invest $25M into something that yields 4% each year and spend that $1M every year without ever touching the principal.

Step 1. I'd throw a party for my family and invite my tax attorney. They'd all be like "who's this weird guy?" Then I'd make a toast and tell everyone "As of today, you guys are all millionaires. Dave's here to help set things up for you." I'm thinking I'd actually have to put the money into trusts for each family to avoid double taxation.

Step 2. Put aside $50 mil or so into an endowment. Live off the interest. Put the remainder in a charitable endowment (most of which I'd just dole out to existing charities).

Step 3. Build a place in the mountains and a place on the beach. Keep the house in Kansas.

Step 4. Get a private jet. Travel world with wife and kids.

Otherwise lead a very normal life. I wouldn't want to quit my job, but I'd try to cut back to part-time if they'd allow it. I'd stick to the routine particularly for the kids' sake. That's the only downside to coming into this sort of money, preventing your kids from becoming trust fund fuckups.

This is pretty close to the overall things I would do except I don't have kids or a house, but I could change that  :eye: After taking care of parents and siblings debt and setting some aside for each of them, I think I'd split it $50 mill for my own endowment, $100 mill for endowment for various charities, $100 mill for various venture capital stuff (I don't care, would be fun to actually do like my own version of shark tank) and $100 mill for K-State endowment in various capacities. Any left over is for one w/e the eff I feel like.

How would you all get to the place where you have to redeem the ticket?


First choice is a jet powered helicopter filled with albino tiger cubs.

Failing that, I call my old man, Papa Pete, and he cruises over with the shotguns filled with turkey loads, and we open carry right through the front rough ridin' doors.

As a fall back plan, I would call clams.  He picks me up in the M.  We have the top down, our shirts off, smoking cigars, and blasting 2 Live Crew on the hi fi all the way there.

With half a billion, I'd have a hard time keeping my composure and maintain any semblance of humility, but it would be fun to try.  Like, I would have to remind myself and everyone around me that my yachts don't really define who I am.

Sounds like a great way to lose your lottery ticket.

I'd just go there very quietly. Then I'd go into hiding before I made the announcement.

In my normal boring car and not blasting 2 Live Crew. I mean I wouldn't do anything to draw attention to myself until I actually confirmed that I had the winning ticket.

"What's up for bid today is a $500M annuity, like new." 

It's a great idea because someone could make you a better offer than the lottery cash option and they could still come out ahead.

And you could remain anonymous with your new found wealth, avoiding the influx of new "relatives" that you had never heard of.

It actually does, but only up to a certain amount.  Once you surpass that amount it doesn't give you any more happyness.

I woke up yesterday morning with an alert on my phone that I bought a winning megamillions ticker.  It was a real thrilling few seconds thinking I could have won $1B. 

I’ve never been more disappointed to win $500.
