I won't ever win it, 'cause I don't play it.  But, if I won a Billion bucks, I'd want to enjoy what's left of it - yep, wifey of 40+ years.  She knows how to have FUN!!!  Without blowing all the bucks!

I'd probably stay put and buy out all the neighbors.

In that case, I'd buy out my brother (owns the farm), close the road on the backside of the property, finally buy that airplane (2000' strip built decades ago)... and rent enough excavating gear to find that silver, guns & ammo my younger brother buried back in the '70s ... for bragging rights, "Wee, I found it!!!"

    Other than that, I really don't know what I would do different.

When I bought land up here more than 3 decades ago, there wasn't a soul around for miles. I could head N/E and walk all the way to lake Tahoe, even better, if I'd had a quad, I could have driven there, never once seeing any sign of human life.

Now, after all those years, people bailed on the valley/Bay area and headed for the mountains, not a lot, but enough to know they're there.
The tiny town above Sacramento, now looks like someone threw a box of McMansion keys and they took root, so much so, I lost my beautiful night sky.
So yeah, if I could, I'd get rid of my worthless neighbors.

But the funny thing in all of this? My newest neighbor next door was a young illegal, he didn't do it because he wanted to, his dad forced him as a young boy, handed him off to coyote's and the rest is history.
But out of all the people around, He and his family? They can stay.

They are all hard workers and family oriented, Jehovah's witnesses, but they don't preach, and respect your privacy, and willing to bring 30 or more people to help you out for free.
Kind of sad, when the best people here aren't even legal.

I think the Dims are going to regret letting in all these illegals, because the majority are heavily religious, mostly Christians and they hate the idea of the left pushing the fag agenda.
They won't be supporting Marxists either, that's why most came, to get away from oppression.

Just rambling..

As we have discussed here before, democrats have no concept of unintended consequences.
