[QUOTE=tcinla;1595424492]Just hitting 5 of the numbers will hit over $1 Million :[/QUOTE
Not quite accurate. You only win $1 million if you hit five WHITE numbers. 1 in 11,688,053.52 odds
If you hit four WHITE numbers and one RED number( a total of five numbers) you only win $50,000. 1 in 913,129.28 odds
HUGE difference.
Regular numbers are WHITE and Powerball numbers are RED.

I loved the F12 and had no idea this was even coming out. I guess if I ever won the PB this beauty would be in my garage along with my current C7 and a ZR1.

A lot of people here in denial. The corvette is nothing compared to what's out there. I'd drop any corvette in a heartbeat and pick up a couple of Ferarris, McLarens and Rolls Royces and some dedicated factory track toys (porsche, etc)

I know it's small chump change compared to the Powerball, but our Lotto Max jackpot is at $22 million tonight, and 22 is my lucky number so I had to buy a ticket (I normally only buy Lotto Max when it gets to $50 million) As I've mentioned before on here, the nice thing about Canadian lottery winnings is that it's paid 100% in full immediately and is tax free. So if there is one winning ticket, that person gets a check for exactly $22,000,000 as soon as they go down to the lottery head office to claim it.
If I win, the red Aventador is all mine (this picture was taken by a friend of mine yesterday at a local Lambo dealer in Toronto)

Odds
We bought one ticket each for the big draw and had not a single # hit.
The MCM sent me an email yesterday for a $10 2017 C7 Raffle drawing on Sep 2.
Much better odds. Limited time left to get in if you're interested. Just google MCM and follow the links to the raffle.

Most of my years growing up, I'd have said a Lamborghini was first on the list, but in more recent years, I think McLaren may have grabbed that top spot.
First step would actually be to find the designer of my next home. Never been a fan of huge mansions since I don't personally need that much room, thus I'd be happy with a 25 car garage with a two bedroom apartment somewhere in the middle.

I like the way you think....

If I won a few hundred million in the lottery, I could see myself spending several million on cars during the first couple years.
I'd buy a new Z06 as my daily driver.
I'd buy a frame off restored big block C2 and C3.
For vintage Ferrari, a 288 GTO, a 512TR, and a Dino.
An LP400 Countach, maybe a Miura.
Along with a new Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren, Ariel Atom, and Porsche GT2 RS. Also a CTS-V for use as a luxury car, and probably a 4x4 truck with a lift kit.
Once I had that as my fleet, I'd take it easy for a long time. That's probably about 3 million in total.

Yes, I'd keep my Z06. I'd install new spoilers, and redo the paint protection.
I'd move out of California fast, I'd make it my first priority.
