PowerBall 171 million for Wednesday night. Would your guide be the 1st you called

[Disney1fan2002]

if you won?

Well, she would be probably 3rd in line behind a lawyer and a financial planner.

How many points would I add on? hhhhmmmmmmmm

 

[sssteele]

I know many people would say that instead they would build a home or buy a condo near WDW, but I really would like to stay DVC. There is just something about it that can't be duplicated. I would buy max points, spreading them around the five WDW locations.

 

[tinkerbee]

I would call

1. My family
2. My Lawyer
3. My boss and QUIT!!!
4. Buy the biggest house I could in Celebration and the houses around it for family
5. Buy as many DVC points as possible.

Because no matter how much money I had or don't have I would I will always love Disney!!!

 

[brandip22]

I was thinking about that the other day! I would totally max out on points! But, my guide probably wouldn't be first- Probably: A lawyer and financial planner, family, boss, then decide what to do and go from there. She'd definitley be on the list, just not sure when. I wonder if they have minimum goals per quarter or month? I'd try to find out what hers was and maybe buy in increments to meet her goals. She's been so helpful and I know I'd want that since I'm in sales!

I agree. I may buy a house 'in addition' to the max points, but not 'instead of'.

#1. lawyer
#2. accountant/financial planner
#3. Member Services to make a reservation.
#4. Mom

Then I'd take trip with Mom to keep her quiet so I could think about what to do. After the trip I'd make whatever calls I came up with. Timesharing has taught me the value of NOT owning more than one home. So I might do a little buying where I'd like to stay some of which would be Disney.

 

[Scott H]

Buy points in 130 increments so I would have AP's for a nice long time.

 

[Disney Doll]

I'd call in this order:
Hubby
Extended family
Accountant/financial planner
DVC

Aaah, you see it would be VERY important for me to get a hold of a lawyer and a financial planner BEFORE calling the extended family. I would need to have all my ducks in a row, and brace myself before calling the VULTURES. LOL

I should add that I would plan on taking very good care of my family financially, but some of my siblings do not know when enough is enough, if you know what I mean.

Heck, it's very important to get a hold of a lawyer and a financial planner before telling my WIFE!

Taking a road trip to Rhode Island tomorrow. Good luck with you tickets, but I am going to be claiming the jackpot, sorry!

Can anyone tell me which states participate in this powerball? Does Kansas, Missouri or Texas? Since we have just passed a lottery bill inOklahoma we still don't even have a regular lottery, forget about the powerball. Would love to take a road trip if I can do it within 3 - 4 hours of home.

Oh yeah, first I would call dh, mom, dad, my sister, daughter that is married, a lawyer and my cousin who is a financial planner, the mortgage company to pay off the house, and then member services to buy lots of points. Of course that is after 1/2 of it goes into a foundation for a charity. My family or I would never have a need for that kind of money so 1/2 goes to charity off the top for sure!

Kansas and Missouri are both Powerball states, Texas is not one.

 

[LeftCoaster]

For me, it'd be Parents, sister, then my guide. As someone's tag says "you can never have too many points". LOL

 

[DisFlan]

Would your guide be the 1st you called?

It would be right after the mortgage payoff and purchasing the private tropical island. And a membership in NetJet.

[Maistre Gracey]

And a membership in NetJet.

NO NO NO!!!! Wrong company.... That's our competition!

[canwegosoon]

Lawyer
Financial Planner
Real Estate Broker
and I'll take 4 250 point contracts at the other DVC's. Rose would be happy.
I would love to live nicely on the intrest...can anyone figure that out for me? Nice to dream.
I think I would just provide for our parents....but no sibilings...but yes to sibilings kids. Family stuff runs thick in ours. But I will not have to worry.

 

[Laurabearz]

My first call would be to my contractor telling them to put stone over most of the first floor, then I would call up to 3 numbers to find my DH and still end up leaving him an hysterical message, then my lawyer, then my FP.

When the dust settles I would call my guide and add on 6-800 HHI points and another 300 BWV and another 300 BCV points.

Put then again, part of me would love to by a cottage in Welfleet Ma (On the Cape) and if we went that route we wouldnt add soooo many HHI points. LOL

 

[Bracho]

1) I QUIT.. the very first phone call is my boss...
2) My Lawyer
3) My Travel Agent
4) My Real Estate Agent
5 - 15) Setting myself up
16) My family.... I really what to be ready for all of the so-called "close" friends and family members I'm about to have.

Winning that kinda money can be as much of a pain as it can be a blessing... now I wouldn't mind a pain like that but I sure would want to be set up before telling to many people...
