What I would do is take an early retirment, and only do what I wanted to do if I won big. I wouldn't run out and go on a mad spending spree and end up broke in a month or two like most of the big winners do. I wouldn't buy a big house or new automobiles, or land, like many would, as those things just eat up your money like crazy, and you'd quickly end up spending all your money and then couldnt pay the taxes on the mansion or the insurance on that new Ferrari. Nope, I would have an auction and get rid of all my tractors and equipment, including my shop equipment, and sell the real estate. I would invest all the money wisely so I could live off the interest. I would dump everything I didn't need because I would love to travel all over the United States and you really can't do that if you own a bunch of stuff. Just think of the fun it would be to own nothing more than what would fit in an RV and would be free to travel where ever you wanted and stay however long you wanted without worrying about your shop getting broken into, or your equipment stolen or vandalized to home, etc... Remember, the stuff you own ends up owning you!, and right now, I know all to well how that feels. I did get a chance to go down and see Florida and travel some this summer for a short time and I loved it, even more than I like farming, so I am starting to dream of a life style change and if I could afford it, I'd do it, but I wish to live simply, not in lavish luxury surrounded by lots of stuff, no way, I wish to be free from that, free from material possesions and being owned.
As they say, you got to play if you want to win, and I don't play but every once and a blue moon and only buy 1 ticket because I feel like I am just throwing away the money.
