If I won that $200 million in that power ball lottery I think I would start my own tractor company. (of course I dont buy lottery tickets) I was born with to much common sense, but it is nice to dream once and a while.

As the old Vermont farmer said "I'd probably just keep farming till the money run out "

Go down to the patent office buy the color green and yellow, reformulate it and make it RED and then sell it back to the JD dealers for a price they couldn't afford then let those rust buckets with the two half gallon pistons fade away.

I'd buy me my very own United States Senator.

Well after thinking about it for a while. I would start my own tractor company. Buy a board seat on the NRA. Build a big house complete with guard towers and an arsenal, (to keep out poor relatives) and of course a huge pole barn to keep my toys. And buy large plots of land and lease it to farmers and maybe plant thousands of trees so that they could be harvested out in 30-40 years by my grandkids, I dont have any yet.

Maybe get a brand new set of retreads for the pick-up truck, if there is any left after taxes.

I'd probably be able to get my old SMTA in top shape for that amount, even buying parts from IH/Case

Well, I used to say I'd try to drink it up in the first year, but that might take two or three!

Seriously, I WOULD not go to Disneyworld. I would buy some land and let it dribble away farming and ranching.

First thing, give at least 10% to charity. Think of what 20 million would do to help others!

I would start a museum for old tractors. It would include a great restoration shop. I would have tractors to tinker with for the rest of my life. What could be more fun?

We get taxed on almost everything else, with the lottery people get taxed for being stupid. Buying prime Iowa farm land would use that money right up though.

If you ever spent $200 million dollars you guys all need to get together and shoot each other and the last guy standing needs to jump of a cliff. If you guys don't have anything better to talk about get of the net,

Wouldn't 200 Million let Mrs. Speed Bump live in the fast lane?

I believe If I won, If I bought tickets, I would start farming on a very small scale (so the money would last longer).
