#1 Thing I Would Do If I Won The 1.9 Billion Jackpot

I would do this without question. I do this without thinking twice on a regular basis.

On this election eve, there’s a lot happening in my world. And in the world in general.

  1. It’s election eve.
  2. My Indiana Hoosiers season opener. GO HOOSIERS!
  3. Colts Nation. We been through a lot. The Colts fired Frank Reich and hired Jeff Saturday as interim coach. It’s been a train wreck season. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we are on quarterback #7, #8? Forgive the brain fog, it’s really been hard to keep up with. The number of quarterbacks and the unstableness of the seasons these past few seasons, yet this era has been spirit crushing.

Let me see here, I listed the quarterbacks below. Did I miss anyone? Let me know, and as soon as I find this perfect picture on Twitter I may post it. (It also listed the years.)

But here’s the quarterback musical chairs we been through.

  • Andrew Luck
  • Matt Hasselbeck
  • Scott Tolzien
  • Jacoby Brissett
  • Brian Hoyer
  • Philip Rivers
  • Carson Wentz
  • Matt Ryan
  • Sam Ehlinger

(FYI. Nick Foles & Josh Freeman are also in this mix).

Jeff Saturday becoming interim coach is gonna be exciting (and different, but I live on, thrive and love different).

  • I also follow the Chiefs, Cowboys, Bills, a team from each coast/region/division. Sometimes the Rams, Bengals, & Tampa Bay.

After the 26 to 3 loss to New England (11/6/2022), and the loss to the Jags last playoff season, you can really forget what real football is supposed to look like if you don’t watch other teams play as a Colts fan. I’m known for my bluntness and I just can’t believe the fiasco that our fan base has gone through. Frank Reich is a good person, but if you don’t win games in this league, you will be replaced.

So to put this here again. I also follow the Chiefs, Cowboys, Bills, Rams, Bengals, and Tampa Bay. And basically if a team knows how to get the ball down the field, and actually get touchdowns, and act like they want to be there, I’m interested.

4. Aaron Carter passed away. Aw man. That was one of my guys growing up….Hot Boys, Backstreets, NSYNC, 96 Degrees were some of the boy bands I listened to growing up. RIP babe, you were too young.

5. Elections are soon. I voted weeks ago because I knew I wouldn’t be able to after surgeries. I don’t feel that great as I write this, sorry for any typos.

6. I’m trying to think of anything I missed.

It’s a lot.

So without further delay.

What would I do if I won the lottery of any amount?

I wouldn’t say anything to anyone. I would take a vow of silence like I’ve done so many times in my life.

I would fall into staying silent like I am right now. Not trying to please others. Not trying to fit in or be liked or accepted. I would not say a word.

In recent years, I’ve been leveling up by moving in silence.

No different here. I won’t be saying a word to anyone, and I would be getting things arranged.

I don’t trust people as it is, as lottery winner Timothy Schultz mentioned.

In recent years, I also been cutting myself off from a lot of people, places, and situations that I thought would be in my life forever. It hasn’t been easy and the is process painful. It is what it is.

Most people in my age group want to be acknowledged, want people to know they are someone and got something. When it comes to money, it’s almost better that people don’t know.

I’m not exactly someone that people seek out, and I would like for it to remain that way to a degree.

So for people to start reaching out to me would be a tad bit different. I personally would keep my distance like I’m doing right now. And I would think, they haven’t reached out before, so why the f*** start now? Why am I on everyone’s radar all of sudden?

Because if people can’t and don’t like me for who I am I rather them not be in my life.

And off record, if someone suspected anything? I would say I don’t know what you’re talking about, and there would be a lot of Nos. Nope. No. I read somewhere that Mark Cuban and some other celebrities started out saying no to everyone that seeked them out for money. I would help some causes at my own discretion but I would also be saying a lot of nos. Following the leaders on that one.

One more important thing.

I have a reputation in my family. For not answering the phone and ignoring texts, especially right now because of my surgeries but unless it’s a trusted cousin, I generally don’t answer. And there’s a reason why I’m doing this and a method to my madness. To indirectly train everyone. Seeking me out would be like seeking out a brick wall, you be better off having a conversation with a wall.

I know my lane and my position. To all of sudden be important to everyone would be a tad bit different. I fly under the radar a lot. I’m someone that people overlook and underestimate and for all of sudden for that to change? I would tell everyone please. GTFOH. Much love to you, but please. Take it elsewhere loves.

Protecting my peace is number 1, and not ever telling anyone I won the lottery? Is peace.

It’s 2022!🔥🙌
