    Being honest, what do you think you would you do with it?

    I would tell them in the interview that I am going to buy a rabbit and put the rest in sportsbooks.

        depending on what state he lives in, I think Uncle Sam would take about 40% of it. $600,000... I'd never bet again

              Net about 450k....put 225k of it to work for me...
              Other $225,000 I would do a Brewsters Millions that movie with Richard Pryor... and just go absolutely bananas for as long and hard as I could...and one day look back on it, and smile.

                Lets say you lose 3 games in a row in the streak for cash, do you need to win 28 (including getting out of the hole), or does it just stay neutral until a pick is a winner and the streak starts??

                        In all honesty, I wouldn't do anything too crazy. A million really isn't that much money these days, especially after you pay 400k to the government in taxes.

                        First thing I'd do is tell my friends and family that^^, and that other than my mother, NO ONE is getting a free handout.

                        So with the 600k left after taxes, I'd pay off the mortgage on my current house (110k). Then I'd take the remaining 490k and buy a house in the 350k range, and 'invest' the remaining 140k in another piece of rental property, most likely a house in my same neighborhood here.

                        Then I'd have a nice house that was totally paid off to live in, and 2 more to rent out at ~$800/month each.

                        Like I said, nothing crazy.

                                  I was going by..

                                  3. Build a streak of 25 consecutive correct picks by Dec. 31, 2008 and you could win $1 million! The most wins each month receives $2,500!



                                  (it doesnt say once you lose you cant win the mil at all, even if you get 25)

                                      you probably have to make 25 consecutive picks, then make a 40 yard field goal at halftime of a playoff game in Chicago

                                            This thing's over regardless though because their grand prize winner already hit the 25 game streak, now 10K if the runner up prize.
