Damned, I can't even imagine winning that much money. I definetely would leave the Air Force and probably just travel on my own and live the good life. But heck we all know the odds of winning, slim-to-none. So I guess I'll just get my sorry *** back to work and earn my money the old fashion way.
Work My @ss off!!! LoL...

Hmm. . . What would I do with 50 million dollars? I'll start small: There is a NEW ZR5 sitting at my local dealership -- FULLY loaded. I'd pay cash for it and then modify the daylights out of it. Then I would probably buy an SSR and modify the snot out of it. Then a Joe Gibbs Silverado (with supercharger -- 4.8L 5-speed), and then mod it some more. Next would be a C6, with a ton of mods. Then a New GTO with a ton of mods. Buy my wife a Suburban, and mod it. Drop a RamJet 502 into my '98 and supercharge it. Add an extra garage onto my house for all the vehicles. Do all the home repairs I've been wanting to do, as well as a couple room additions. Upgrade ALL the electronics in the house. Buy all the books I've been wanting, as well as all the computer games and other little toys and such I've had my eye on. Go on vacation for, well, the REST OF MY LIFE! Then sit back and live off the interest of the remaining amount (probably around $40 million or so). Even at 2% interest, that's more than what I make now.
Oh, well I guess I forgot the most important, and second, thing I'd do: after buying the New GTO (got to have the "flash") I'd go into work a couple hours late, walk into the General Manager's office and let him know EXACTLY what I think of him and how he runs the place. After that I'd give my 2 MINUTE notice, and do the biggest stinking burnout I could manage as I left -- NEVER to return.
And that's for starters. . .
But, after all was said and done, I'd wake up and get back to reality. . . Ah, but to re-capture that dream!

Just don't be like the old man in W.Va who won a few mill a couple of years. He's been in nothing but trouble since. Wrecked his hummer the other day and I thing he got a DUI and has to go to rehab now.
i would want to build a truck that can be a daily driver, but also compete in the hot rod mag. pump gas drags

I have thought long and hard on this before.I would use a large amount of it to build me a business that would require a very large workforce.I would run it as a non profit for me enterprise.With all the revenue being paid to the employees like a profit share except "ALL" profit would be evenly divided among the employees.All employees would make the exact same salary with supervisory positions being just lightly more based on time served and work performance.All employees would have the best health insurance and benefits that could be bought.I would have free in house daycare available to lesson the money problems families face when going to work.That would be one less bill to pay and they could spend time with their kids on there breaks.I would not have sick and vacation time.I would have PTO time which is paid time off.They would earn 4 days a month the first 5 years and a extra day each month for every 2 years after that.All holidays would be paid time and the business would be closed a week for christmas and a week in the summer both being paid.Retirement would be in 20 years and the best available retirement plan would be used.The profit would be after a certain amount of the revanue was used to expand the business to grow to provide more jobs.My hiring policy of course would be by the law but the bulk of my work force would be people who are living on a poverty level income.To give them a chance to live a better life they had not had before.I know what it is like to grow up poor.I worked my *** off and got a education to make a better life for me and my family.But it wasn't easy by anymeans.And I am still paying off my college student loans.And come January I am going back to college to get my bachelors in human services.I make a good living but I am ready to do something else with my life.But I would run this business what ever it might be as a business run by the employees for the employeees.I really believe that if you give a person a reason to do a good job they will work harder and more productive.And what better motivator is there than the profits of the job will be in your pockets.But besides that I would buy me a log cabin by the lake with a HUGE garage with every tool a gearhead could ask for.Then I would buy me a 2005 Silverado dually Duramax diesel.Then I would buy a 2005 C6 and throw some sort of boost to it.Then I would buy a 2005 GTO with the LS2 and throw some sort of boost to it.And then have the guys who built the GTO judge concept to make mine look like it lol.Then I would buy one of all the muscle cars I have always loved and build a huge garage just for them.And that's about it lol.
so, are you hiring yet? when you are (shortly after you win the lotto i assume) get me a resume

I just try to think of my community and those that have not got the options and resources that wealthy people have.I have always dreamed of owning my own business and running just like I stated.I think I could make a difference if I had the money to back it.
