If I won the powerball, I wouldn't BUY much of anything ... why would I want to own land when there is sooooooo much to see in the worId. I might buy a couple hundred acres near family and construct a comfortable shack - say 1 million- for holiday get togethers, etc and as a place to store clothes, equipment, etc. I'd rent me a couple of farmers; maybe up to 10. What do I mean by that? Select prime B/C-P&Y land in IL,IA,KY etc and have them manage the hunting parts of it to my specifications for $20,000 annually or what ever it takes. After wisely investing much of my PB winnings, I'll have enough annual play money to do whatever I choose; even if I have to supplement it with erosion of some of the principle. Same with upland game, turkey, fishing, other big game ,etc,etc. With that kind of money I'll be moving around in my Lear; e.g., attending an afternoon play in NY with dinner/night at Waldorf, next day afternoon sporting event in CA and then dinner at Commander's Palace in LA with duck hunt next morning, and on and on. With unlimited scratch - (say 300M or more - you got to think big). When I got tired of jet-setting, I'd retire for a couple weeks/month at my month-leased penthouse suite in a city of my choice; maybe in Monaco. You get the idea .... with an incredibly large bank account, you can spend a lot of money and still have tremendous financial security. As my wife says, dream on big boy; well I guess I'll go clip some coupons from the newspaper.
