Think of all the lottery tickets you could buy with that.

I would buy Greece and a curly wurly.
 


Make an offer to bail out Pompey, then at the last minute pull out of the deal and give them the V sign Mullery style! :lolol:


In all seriousness The main thing I'd do would be to buy out Worthing FC, kick out the current lot running it, employ people who i know have the club's best interest at hand, find a decent location for a new ground, and invest in the team to push them up to Conference level football, along with the advertising side to get more exposure in the town and attract new supporters to the club.

Now being estimated as $640 million. Wasn't too sure about getting a ticket for $540, but the extra hundred million might sway me...

They predicted that on the news here last night, over $100 million spent in 24 hours by the likes of myself, who never play it, but are giving it a go just because...although, after the government take their 50% tax, I am not sure if I could live on just $320 million. So far the wife and I have spent $20

If we (very, very, very unlikely) win, it will be a large private jet, and attending every home game next season, with firm bodied, mute Japanese trolly dolly's wearing the home kit on the way back to England, and the away kit when flying back here...for every goal scored by Albion, they have to remove an item of the kit...especially looking forward to an early cup round playing a lower division team with the prospect of many goals...in fact I will personally purchase a striker up to $25 million, just to ensure nakedness on my return journey...and endless games of leap frog down the middle of the plane at 30,000 feet.

Brilliant :) ... I can see you have given this a slightly unnerving level of thought!

I'd thought of the private jet back for home games (leave Seattle at 8 each Friday night, watch the game, and back here by 8 on Saturday night - perfect), but the stripping trolley dollys is a nice touch!

Crazy queues outside some of the outlets in New York. Our office of 50 has pooled $20 each to buy 1000 tickets - odds are about 1 in 176 million. Think I prefer horse betting - at least there's a bit of skill involved ! Last night Fox News (so it must be right) was saying there is a good chance that it will be won by a syndicate so that would dilute the winnings – then the IRS takes a big bite out for tax………….

Anyway, good luck to johnhammond and So.CalGul

With that money, I'd buy an early 19th century ship of the line and convert the deck to provide seating for a full orchestra and audience. I will then hire an orchestra to perform Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture with the ships cannons providing the cannon fire for the 1st movement. With this crew and ship, I will travel around the world providing a very unique concert experience which will hopefully be a viable business model.

Why would it need to be a VIABLE business? You'd have $540 million dollars... So what if you lost several thousand on each performance?

The queues weren't too bad here this afternoon, maybe 10 minutes or so (I think the rain put people off from standing around outside too much).

Good luck to all US based seagulls (especially given the quality of ways in which the money would be put to good use)!

I'd get into negotiations with Portsmouth to become the man that bailed them out of all their trouble, then just as I'm about to sign say "nah" and walk into the sunset to the sound of a ringing hand bell

Great minds think alike!
