It's good to not have monthly bandwidth cap :)

Damn, that's a great idea. Okay, that, plus a huge-ass house, an Aston Martin DB9, an Audi RS6 Avant, a Ferrari F430, and a huge donation to Harvard Law. :D

edit:

well, I thought i remembered a thread like this.

ooooh, and a small army to steal JayMassive's island from him once he clones enough dinosaurs for me to play with.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

Dunno aboot buying anything but I would prolly sell most everything... maybe rent a large safety deposit box for the rest and get an unlimited CC or two. Then wander for awhile.

the first thing i would do if i won the powerball would be to give each of my close friends about 2 or 3 million dollars. they could do with it what they wish. then, i'd buy my parents new cars and additions to the house and a nice long vacation. then, i'd get myself a sweet-ass loft apartment downtown and a bmw.

LOL... i just read the book while at work last week. Not sure if I like the book or movie better. I like both for different reasons, and have some criticism of both,too.

But to stay on topic, I woudl buy a perfect credit score. Then spend my money as I see fit. :D

If that would work well I'd have them call another friend. If we're talking top notch stuff here it'll probably blow around 10k.

Invest the rest.

... a place to hide from all the people trying to get my money. A name change. Unlisted phone number.

I would pick up the check wearing a ski mask, coveralls, gloves and sunglasses with nobody I know around.

With a $360 Million jackpot, you'd probably take home around $100 million after taxes.

Make some investments with a good broker. Get some nice real estate to use as rental properties.

Buy a row of average size houses to let 4 of my friends live there if they want, but I keep the deed. They can stay as long as they want for free though. And have 1 main big house with a pool, bar, entertainment room, etc..

Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari F430 Spyder, A big van or SUV (not a flashy one) with a part time driver to haul our drunk asses around town safely on the weekends, and a few Toyota Priuses as grocery getters for me and friends.

And I would never get married.
