So as yopu may or may not hav heard ther eis a record breaking mega miilions ( lst I heard 640 million). SO time ot drea a littl ewhat would you do?
Here is what I would do buy a couple hundred acres and open a tortoise breeding facility, maybe hire a few people on here to help me run it.
Next I would take a nice long vacation to japan, after that who knows, I am not big into cars but I would probably buy a new mini cooper , oh yah I would visit greg in Florida (aldabraman) and buy a few aldab hatchlings.

No need to buy any more tickets guys, I have the wining one, sorry :)

Ha ha, I already bought the winner. Putting the money down already on the following. We are going to buy the block. Put up a cement brick wall around it, and I will be getting two Aldabras, another leopard and two Rads. I will have my pond re-done with koi and turtles. My parents get a new boat and big bank account. I will have a very large stingray tank built into a wall of my new house. We will also be buying a house in Hawaii. Going there next week to pick it out. see, money spent :p:D

I was going to go in on the pool we had going for it at work, but I am not for sharing other then to people I care about (no one at work ) .... :p

Humm what will I do when they call my winning numbers....I would do the same buy land build my own house and start an animal rescue focusing on tortoises! :) I would need a few members on here to help me though. Since I am still new to the tort world. :)

A couple groups of my employees did lottery pools and I said no lottery pools unless they cut me in. I cant have one of my teams quit and me not be able to quit with them. :D I also got some with my husband.
I think our plans would be to have a Michigan house and a Florida house. We would invest some, save some, create our own animal refuge, and my husband said he would use a bunch to lobby for animal rights.

would pay off all my family members and many friends' (including some of those lurking on TFO) debts first, then my and my wife's debts, set up accounts for all the grandbabies (and their mommies and daddies), lots to charities and church, and hopefully have a little left over for some frivolities for myself and my wife. I personally would love to have that large group of Galaps owned by the gentleman in Arizona. .....ah, dreams. That said, when I wake up the morning after the drawing (not a lottery winner)....I'm going to Thank God I'm me and still a humble veterinarian that has an unlimited wealth of love from family and friends.

:cool:

We would buy an island and completely dominate the private aldabra breeder programs in the world. All hatchlings would be free to all vetted TFO members and anyone that i like! I would also start an aldabra emergency trust fund for any aldabra keeper that falls on hard times and needs help keeping the quality of life for their aldabras.

Fun thread!

P.S. I would hire about six of you to run my program with an enormous salary!

Ya'll have great ideas. I will let any of you win as long as I get to be the head (tort friendly) gardener, live in the cool apartment over the garage, and boss underlings around. :cool:
