GatogordoWon Powerball twice??, buy the 2nd biggest ranch in Texas......
.....The Waggoner for $725 Million.
Here's a fairly interesting older story about the ranch and the feuding heirs...looks like the "sell it" side is winning at this time.

MikelravyMore like win the Powerball 4 times. What a spread. John Malone or Ted Turner are probably dreaming about it.

GatogordoProbably either one could afford it. But it's only 525,000 acres (m/l, not sure of exact figure).
Personally I'm pulling for the guy who wants to keep it in the family, but I have no real info on the current situation.
My bet is that one would have to show some serious financial responsibility to get a showing.

Texas KillartistInteresting read. I've hunted the King and vermejo, but nothing as large as the Waggoner w/ a single fence around it !

MikelravyI'm amazed by Texas ranches. I was at the "South meadow" of the King ranch. 40,000 acres
