If I won The LOTTO and $500 Million

I wouldn't buy a new house. I would get a much larger garage. I wouldn't buy a Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari, Audi or anything over $100,000. I would get a ZL1. Honestly. OK, I would get a bigger house with a huge garage.

So only like 320 some million after taxes. I can live with that.

Would have to be an island with some good pavement to drive the 8 different Camaros you'd own. You could build your own full track, why not.

23 % Federal and about 7 % in state ( depending on winners resident state) at 500 million, you'd be left holding approx 350,000,000.00 @ the current estimate for fridays drawing...550 million = 385,000,000.00. Plenty of great living left at that.

I would take my crap load of money and buy a white ZL1. Then take it to a shop have it painted chrome with the lime green overlay. Exactly like the Hotwheel car at SEMA. With out the hood, or hotwheel badges, keeping the ZL1 hood. Then purchase a ZR1 for a weekend driver.
I would also keep my v6 and ship it to RX Performance along with 9 other V6's. Of course I would pay for the upgrades to twin turbos. I mean what is 100,000 amongst friends.

If I hit that lottery, you know how many people I would tell to kiss my a$$ ....

Still .... after taxes that still is a whole lot of money!

Good luck to all who brought some tickets

I was hoping someone would break down the actual numbers. Thanks. I was a bit off, but hey, doesn't seem like a bad pay raise. Phew, I could only imagine.

Indeed good luck to all on here. Who play. If you win, enjoy, stay humble, have fun. We'll all be looking out on the Pay it Forward thread for goodies.
