I let random.org decide, and if i have just as much luck as in your giveaways, you probably wont win :p.

if I win I will get you a signed(Kevin Manthei, tim curry and martin brownlow) copy of Sacrifice

I love picking brackets. I generally suck at it, but it's good fun.

If I win I'm going to fund Jack Keane 3: The Keanening

I thought it was Jack Keane 3: The Legend of Curly's Gold.

That's the DLC expansion. ;)

Fair enough. :P

Not exactly "here's $100,000 to do whatever you want with it": ---

Both DLC and expansion in one? Wow, Jack is mighty generous :-p


EDIT: Formatting

Since the chances are like 1 in 4 billlion... even if 1 million people get to gether to make sure they don't have same brackets, would have 1:4,000... then split 4billion by 1million = 4,000... too much work for such bad odds.

Just getting past the first bracket correctly is like 2 to the 16th power :/

Ah yes, Quicken Loans: the company that was pimping heavily the "You don't have the income to support it but we'll help you get that loan anyway" mortgages circa 2004-2008. Of course, they never got any shit for it since they weren't underwriting the loans themselves.

----

Now that I got that out of the way, here's what I would do with my billion:

- finance a change to the IRS income tax returns so that every shithead like Buffett who says they should pay more taxes would now see a full page dedicated to voluntarily paying more tax.

And every one of those pages would be returned blank.

And this is a spoof, right?

Bumping as March has come upon us!....And anyone happen to know the site where we fill it out? xP

Found it! http://quickenloansbracket.com/

Seems it closes March 16th. The only problem is that it's ran by Yahoo and you need to do your phone thingy with them. The surveys and crap I can do, but for Yahoo itself I cba. First 15,000,000 entrants only apparently. Hah.

1 billion usd? thats whole lot of bundles.

so only to people living in the us? offcourse.

So like, $400-500 million after taxes? Still a lifetime of moolah but it's a little annoying to have to cut down the number like that.

I've always said if I won a very large sum of money I'd splurge with a quarter, invest the other quarter, and then save the half that's left. Of course, I'd also hire an accountant. I have the money why the fuck not?

With this sum I'd still be left with $125 million dollars to splurge with. I wouldn't go too crazy. Nice house with a massive game room. Fancy car, I've always fancied a Dodge Viper. Pay off debts for family and a select group of friends. I'd make it clear that it is a one-time thing outside of spontaneous acts of generosity, though.
