If you won the lotto...
Its fantasy time...
So. You just had a crapy day at work and are driving home. You stop at a gas station to fill her up, and decide to buy a Mega Millions ticket. The next day after another crapy day at work, you check the ticket and find that you are the winner of $50,000,000! What would you do?
Personally, I am still going to go to work the next day. I am Going to stop on my way and get a gallon of Orange juice and mix it liberally with vodka. I just think it would be more fun to see how drunk I have to be at work to get fired than just calling in and quiting. Plus, with my inobitions at a very low level, I am more apt to tell my boss just exactly what I think.
After the hangover goes away, it's time for shopping. A house on ANY LAKE, ANY BOAT, and ANY TOW RIG!!! What would you get?
I haven't fished a lot of the lakes out of state, so with what I know, I would have to get a house on Moses. It's nice and close to Potholes, the river, and Banks. Yours can be in any state you want. For a boat, Maybe a new Stroker? But I really like the look of the Skeet Reese Champion 210 elite. And for a tow rig, maybe a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, or a Mercedes G Wagon.
What would you blow your cash on?

Pay off all of my debts, help my family and give my wife everything I've always wanted to give her. Then I'll go fishing everyday for the rest of my life and maybe buy a bass boat.
ib, the probably only shorebound dude here. (hee hee!) -

Good taste Aaron. First thing I would do is call the Stroker factory.

Well, I'd have to say a small house, a lot of land, somewhere up on the hillside of potholes, or Moses. Although, I really like the Elk country up by Cle Elum and Roslyn.
As for a boat, a Legend ALPHA 211 with a 250 HO Evinrude E-Tec or PRO-XS and a tow rig would be a Classic style Chevy 2500 Duramax.
Other than that, the rest of the family can have the rest of my money, all of it. (Well except some money for gas for all the toys.) -

House on Lake Fork Texas....House on Roosevelt or Havasu in Arizona..and a House on Long Lake in Spokane......and a house on a beach in Mexico. Probably get an aluminum boat like a tracker or Triton for Lake Fork, a House boat and a Skeeter i Class for Arizona and Wahington.
Tow rigs......don't know, but they will have a nice Camper on it for traveling.
I think I would wrap the boats in Leopard Print maybe -

You would have to do the seats and carpet to match. Maybe some mink around the tops of the seats?
Reopen Joes, I like that Dez. Good thinking. I was thinking more along the lines of a couple of Tanning salons or something, just because there is one other thing other than fishing that I think about. It would be good to be the boss...

If I won the lotto I could afford to buy a lucky craft crank bait. Just one of them. I might have enough left over for some swivels or something.

Dunno about what boat/tow rig I'd get. Anything is an upgrade from my float tube/Honda Civic. get a house on a lake here in WA and one on Lake Guntersville AL. Travel here and there to the great bass fisheries and fish my ass off.

I'd set up a house on Royal Slope at Mardon with a sweet ass house and garage, get me a 18ft Ranger with An Etech, a Gator Trax Mud boat w/Mud Buddy motor, Get a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid tow rig, and set up my parents with whatever they want. I would have enough leftover to never work again and just fish for fun the rest of my life :) I would still finish getting my degree of course.

I hate to be the killer of dreams but you know that statistically speaking your odds of winning the Lotto are the same whether you buy a ticket or not. I don't see a huge difference in 0 in 25,000,000 odds of winning and 1 in 25,000,000 odds of winning.
Best of Luck,

Oh jeez, thanks for the reality check there Josh. You really crushed some people with that one. If you think about it though there are like 250,000,000 people in this country. That means all of us here had 1 in 250,000,000 chance of being subjected to as big a douche bag as you, and it happened.

Now that's just mean spirited. I believe there are just over 300mm people in these United States so you are slightly luckier than you originally thought. A new census is being tallied as we speak. I am taking my keyboard and going home.
