Baa-Baa

If I won the Power-Ball Jackpot what would I do? 

 Now I don't buy tickets, so I am unlikely to win.  The odds are 140 times greater that I will be struck by lightening this year, than they are that I will win the Power-Ball jackpot if I buy a ticket.  I don't obsess over being struck by lightening, why should I waste my money worrying about a lottery prize?

 But if I did suddenly come into a large amount of money what would I do with it?  

  1. I'd buy a boat - I have always wanted one.
  2. I'd go someplace warm and sunny in winter.
  3. I'd buy a farm, call it Black-Sheep Ranch, and collect a flock of all black sheep.  I'd have to hire a staff, my back and legs are not up to the manual labor needed. I would have a large garden, and spend a few warm summer days and cool autumn weekends on the ranch.  
What would you do with a sudden Billion dollars?

    Retire and do everything impromptu.
    I would also set up a foundation to do something worthwhile for others.
