Mega Millions & Powerball lottos are both over $300 million. If you won...

Where would you establish your primary residence or home base?

Sure, you could afford homes all over the globe, but where would you set up your base?

I live in North Florida, have travelled all over, but I guess I'd stay somewhat local for now. One of my secondary residences would be a kick ass House boat in Holland.

I'll be a nice guy and only win Powerball and leave Mega Millions for y'all to win. Good luck.

Or maybe in the panhandle west of Tallahassee

And a 50 acre spread on the South Island of New Zealand.

Once I had my affairs in order, I'd spend my time donating the rest.

I'd have me a suite in Jerry's fancy new stadium and a house in the area big enough to host friends and family who wanted to go to the games with me. I mean, they could come in and stay for the weekend, go to the game then GTFO.


Then probably back to Florida for the rest of the year but I wouldn't spend a lot of time here. Cruises and other travel would keep me occupied.

Don't want to move too far away from Mr ITW's grandchildren.

Second place will have an ocean view.


Good luck to you, NightWatcher
