If YOU Won The Powerball Jackpot, What Would YOUR First Auto Purchase Be?

If YOU Won The Powerball Jackpot, What Would YOUR First Auto Purchase Be?
This week's Powerball lottery ticket winnings approached a total value of more than $400 million dollars. Clearly, that's chump change. With a winner in Minnesota and two winning tickets purchased in New Jersey — respect — it seems that there will be three folks with life-changing money in their bank accounts.

What struck us was that the Minnesota winner. That's because at his press conference he noted that he had been watching a Craigslist post on an early model Acura NSX for the past several months and that he'd likely pony up the $30,000 or so grand to get the vehicle now.

Well done, Paul White. Well done.

Many people admire the first-gen NSX, specifically the early model year products, as it was a game changer in the space.

But I have to wonder: If you were the winner of a $150 million dollar jackpot what would YOU be spending it on?

Personally, I can't imagine buying used with that much cash on hand. Hopefully this is a good sign he won't go through all the funds and he'll be wise with his new winnings!

A 2014 Audi R8 V10 pearl white with black carbon fiber side panel. But I'll have the head and taillights from the 2012 models on my Audi R8 V10. I think the headlights and taillight from the 2009-2013 model look better than the 2014 model year. I just love the way the Audi R8 V8/V10 look. It's very classy, elegant and sexy as well. I think it ages really well.

All VERY good picks!

I'd probably have to snap up a BMW 1M and an Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Perhaps some sort of awd-capable vehicle for the girlfriend...

My list wouldn't cost more than a couple of million tops, add another couple mill for a nice house/mansion or two and invest the rest smartly.

Yeah'p. Then you've gotta figure out how to collect approximately 10 percent on the lump sum.

99.9% of the cars made can be bought without winning the Powerball, but it's nice to theorize nonetheless.
