What would you do if you won a 100 million dollar lottery?
Feel free to plug your sponsors here! As there are many I would like to own!
Personally.........I'd incorporate and be searching the realestate market for an island off the west coast of Mexico!
Good Luck
Tyee

After getting up off the floor, a call our lawyer and my accountant would be in order.

Changing the phone number to unpublished would be next.

As to what to do with the money?

1) Pay off all debts, and no I don't think I do owe anyone here 40 grand for borrowing a lure...

2) Pay for my Mom's care and apartment for the rest of her life
3)Invest heavily with about a million dollars
4)Start a foundation for Police and Fire Officers families for health care when a disability takes theirs away (in honor of my Departed fishing partner Max)
5)The Church would never want for funds too badly from here out, and their outreach programs would be better funded
6) Buy a nice spread of land and build my wife her dream house
7)NRA & GOA life memberships bayyyyybeeee!
8)Support a few local charities and shelters
9) Travel and play and live off the interest for the rest of my life
10)set up a trust for my children so they should never want for anything and set it up so they must also want to help others.
11)Buy many guns, rods, lures, boats etc.......

I'd still guide in the summer, on Mille Lacs, because I love what I do. Only I'd have something a little more comfortable than my 10x20 foot fishouse to live in while I did it. But for my winters, well I guess a 30-40 mile square ranch in eastern Montana with the Yellowstone River flowing thru it would be a nice start. Plenty of Antelope, deer, pheasant, and all the ducks and geese I could ever want to chase would be just outside my front door. Also a small place, maybe 6000 acres or so on Ft. Peck where there are plenty of Elk would be nice also.

Oh yeah, I'd either buy out, or become a partner with Yar-Craft Boats and continue to make the best walleye boat built in the world, and if Irwin Jacobs calls, I'm not in, just put him on hold until he hangs up and then put a block on his number!!!

I would host my own winner take all $100 million Rock Bass tournament. 3 fish per man and the fish must be over 8".

I'm doing what I love to do most of the time..................

The job that pays the bills would be history after I had a heated conversation with certain individuals in the workplace

I would then enter the PWT and RCL (or possible new Mercury tournament series) and see how good I really am. I'd have a real advantage over most people because the pressure of doing well for monitary reasons would be gone forever

I would buy/Lease my own Island on Lake of the Woods. I would have a BIG summer home down South for those cold winter months.

My kids would have a trust fund set up that allowed them access to money at the age of 30.

Now see how many would people would enter!!! Tell me why nobody has started the PRBT (Professional Rock Bass Trail)? I think we should all pool our money and have one on Winnebago next year. Say $1000 buy in and winner take all? I am sure I could talk KK into letting us do it. I was hoping this was the news Ralph teased us with.

Be happy
Fish and hunt
Give the rest away to the needy

Hunt. Fish. Travel. Travel would be mostly to hunt and fish.

I'd keep doing exactly what I am, except the 3 to 5 on the raod every week would be more enjoyable because Sue would be with me!

1.) Like anyone; pay off debts.

2.) Buy my mother a house on a mountain in Tennessee, & cover the property tax for the rest of her life.

3.) Make several sound real estate investments in various states around the country & try like hell not to get over extended by making certain updates annually that would get me a visit from the local assesor.

4.) Buy as many fishing & hunting related items as I could... well at least try to become an owner of an outfitter in an attempt to give competition to Bass Pro Shop & Cabela's.

5.) Develop a half house for wayward lingerie models suffering from nymphomania

6.) Send my daughter (when she's of age) to an Ivy league college majoring in land management.

7.) Take the ole' lady on a cruise for a month or so to Alaska for salmon & then down to Mexico for bluefin for another month.

8.) Did I mention the halfway house for lingerie models suffering from nymphomania... I'm a giver.

9.) Purchase a personal jet & paint it to look like my favorite crankbait.

10.) First before anything else... QUIT MY JOB, INVEST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE ACRRUING HEFTY INTEREST & ENJOY MY GOOD FORTUNE!!!
