Thread: If You Won The Lottery?

First, I'd hire the services of someone who could help me manage my finances.

Second, I'd invest it into stocks and other business ventures.

Hmm. Well, I don't need any more then $14 million. I'd buy a nice big house, a couple nice cars for showing off (Ford GT & Mustang) and a Motorbike for personal transportation, and an SUV for family transport. Get some nice big 50" TVs. LCD, HD.

Then I'd begin giving. Gifts for everyone! I'd also probably give about $1 mil to 2 certain friends because... well, lets not get into that. Take a wild guess though.

Finally, I too would make the most kick ass DV meet up!

The rest of the money; Half would be invested, the other Half would be pocketed and spent on the necessities of life, taxes, food, and furniture and stuff.

Oh, if I had a million dollars....

I'd be rich.

Hmm... good question... what would I buy?

Well, I'd build a new house that was near town for convenience but set far back from the road so you couldn't see it. There would need to be a huge fenced yard with woods on either side, and private lake access. And of course, I'd have to have a boat for the lake as well.

I'd have a stable so I could have horses, maybe 2 or 3 of them. And a big horse trailer to take them up north for trail riding, etc. I'd have to hire a hot stable boy to mind the horses...

Hmm, cars... well I would love a black Corvette Z06 in a convertible, but I think they only come as hard tops... and then something more practical like an SUV, maybe a Mercedes or Lincoln or something. But something with 4 wheel drive for the winter.

I'd still work, but only part time. I wouldn't be able to not do my job - I love it too much!

And of course help out my family and donate to animal charities and all that too

[edit] and if I had anything left over, I'd buy a castle. haah

i'd buy lots of countchocula, fast cars and heroin.. and a big house...made out of candy, and heroin, and cars. Id also have a rocket, a helicopter, dragons, tigers, an aeroplane, a bee army, and my own personal army of the night. also in my spare time I'd constantly adventure around looking for treasure etc...and id dress like an eccentric millionaire, Id also buy count chocula's castle.

Id also wear a cape, most of the time but not always.

I would get laid.

LOL.

Well, I could finally move out of my cardboard box. XD

90 million, that's quite a big amount. I'd obviously put it all in the bank, so I could keep getting lots of intrest off it. I'd buy a nice house in the middle of nowhere, prefferably the one from When a Stranger Calls. Maybe start my own firewood business. ( I need something to do all day, and something like splitting wood (Physical activity) is always good). I'd buy a 69 corvette for style, a Ford Super Chief if it comes out, a snowmobile, ATV. Also the essentials, like a few big screen HD TV's, a home gym, and a big fridge full of food.

Too many possibilities.

SO WOULD I NERUO!!!
Lol.

-invest in mutual stocks. Sit on my 12% anuall interest.
-Live really nice, on a beach somwere, have a boat along with the cars.
-Go parasailing, stuff like that.
-Never buy everything you want, (50cars and the biggest house you can find)
most of the time after you optain everything you realize how lame life really is.
-Then you takeup skydiving and stuff.
-If you live through climbing everest and stuff then you start getting somthing funner.
-Herion.

--Then you die.
Lol

I would not need a financial consultant.
I would just live high on the hog of the interest earned. I am certain they would be willing to give you more than the going interest rate. So at 3.5%. along wit ha few CDs = $$$$$$$$&# 036;$$$$$. Then I could leave the windfall to my family and my favorite charities.
(Dream Views I am certain would have the best service provider money can buy)

I would architect my own building and design my own landscape that would house my own art gallery/museum.
90% of the art from rising artist and mostly from my own community. Some possible exhibits to bring in bigger names.
I would have my dream job. Curator. Curator of my own gallery.
The gallery sales would not go totally to the artist. A percent would go to the local community to fund struggling art programs.

Come hell or high water I would have a DV meet up!!

I would certainly have my toys too.

Burn
I would buy a $555,000 Tomahawk motorcycle and drive it at the salt flats.

I'd buy three more wishes.

I'd make a bonfire.

Hey this is one of the first topics, I've made in a while. Don't make me move it to senseless. Stay on topic please.

Please refrain from the two or three word replies. I don't want to break it to you folks. But your not comedians.
There is a time and place for a good joke. Even in a good discussion. Not in every post and every thread.
Try and hold and intelligent conversation. This can be fun too.

I would quit school, and buy lots of stuff: girls, a nice house with a huge empty room, and some unecessary objects.

I would might also eventually start a cooperation - preferably something with high profit and cheap manpower.

I would donate all my money to the Vatican.

Edit: Ok, not funny.

I's buy a forest all for myself. The build a cabin and pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Actualy, no. But I would like a forest to live in.

Maybe I'll start an animal rights program which is making a chain of restaurants serving delicious vegan food, priced to just cover the expenses; The places will be packed with veggie and animal rights propaganda ( There is actually one such a place where I live, but I will put as many of them as I can )
I will also give money to family and friends, and I will leave only a little bit to myself: I'll by a modest house with a yard, so that my cats will be happy, a small car, and I'll leave a little bit more money in the bank so I can avoid working for the next 2 years or so, during which I'll work on my music and my writing.

I would tell people on DV that something great happened to me, but I wouldn't tell them what, because I wouldn't want peole to like me for the wrong reasons, or think I was trying to brag.

Then...
Presents and drugs for everyone who has ever helped me out over the years. I would devote 10,000 dollars to give away to friends. James wants a new laptop. Connie wants one too, and an iPod. Marty wants drugs. Lots of drugs.

Then... I would buy a car, and a laptop for myself.

Then... I would buy a house with some land in Arkansas, and turn it, to make more money. I would live there for the time being, and take care of my woman and my dog.

Once I gained enough money, I would begin handing out thousands and thousands of dollars to worthy causes.

P.S. I didn't win the lottery, folks.

Just travel to a large forest and live in it, you don't need to own it.

You could have made a competition for best DV post to win 1M$. That would throw DV into chaos that would have been talked about for years later

Would've invested it. Charity is for losers.

I would hoard it all like a dragon. Buy a ton of music. Buy two or three grand pianos. A life time supply of kiwi jellybeans. Buy books like a madman. Randomly throw some out the window. Have big parties. Taunt Artelis. Oops. Did i just say that out loud?
