3 Purchases to Make After Winning The Powerball

In case you've been living under a rock, the Powerball jackpot is 1.5 BILLION dollars. Yeah, I know, absolutely insane. And I've seen a lot of people post dumb stuff they plan on blowing their fortune on if they happen to win. You know those people...you might even love those people. Just don't forget, those people are idiots.

Below is a list of 3 things you need to buy before you spend any money on anything else.

1) Burn Phone

You can't fall off the face of the planet if people know your phone number and/can track you down via GPS. Ditch the iPhone and get a cheap burner...you'll thank me later.

2) New Identity

If you win 1.5 billion bucks, everyone you've ever met in your entire life will be tracking you down for a chunk of change. So, in an effort to help you disappear, spend some money on a new identity. And not a legal one, just something convincing enough to check into hotels and what not with. No paper trail, no dealing with long lost cousins or people you went to third grade with.

3) Pappy Van Winkle

This has no real value to helping you disappear. But, if you are going to have millions of dollars to blow, you might as well booze it up like a Kingpin.
