If you won the lottery

Ok so how about a fun topic. Tonight the lottery is 212 Million dollars in Georgia. If you won, after taxes and cash payout you'd get about 70 million.

If this happened to you and if Belkin would sell his share of the team to you for that (he payed $75 million), I have 2 questions.

1. Would you buy his 30% stake in the hawks and become the primary owner?

2. Given the other owners would go along with whatever you said, what would you do as new primary owner?

Unfortunately, No. Although I would LOVE to have a say in the decision making process the Hawks francise makes...if I had 70 million dollars in the bank, I would not add that kinda of stress or commitment to the Hawks. I would, however, buy the best suite in Phillips....party there every home game I could with friends when I get to when I'm not traveling the world, making wise investments so my family can live off my lucky fortune, or lounging in my movie theater basement.

No, I wouldn't put my entire net worth into the Hawks and I doubt the rest of the league's owners would approve me for that reason.

No, put all of your money into a team that is losing money. No thanks.

if i can keep all 200 million dollars, yes. but if "only" 70 million, no.

If I won that much money I would use it to eliminate as much stress from my life as possible. That doesn't include owning a major sports franchise.

I'm taking that money and buying a boat. A big one. And taking a vacation. And then I'm buying season tickets for my team.
