Powerball; If I had won it
Topic Started: Dec 1 2012, 08:47 AM (1,805 Views)
Memphis metro


If I had won the powerball lottery I would have given every active geometroforum member 20000 dollars a piece. But you have to play to win and I did not play. :P


Now to you who did win the powerball, if you feel as generous as well, feel free to pm me for details for me to come pick up your gift. Thanks.

My life wouldn't change considerably for the next 5-6 years. IDK what I would do after that.

I heard a coworker say that if he had won he would give his ex-wife 5 million to disappear and give his current wife 20 million and HE would disappear.

if I won the lottery this is precisely what I would do.

I would keep 3 million for myself. 500k to buy a house pay off all my debt buy a "new" car (5 year old or so tdi diesel beetle and a diesel engine for both the minivan and the metro) and pay off my bills for the next year.

the 2.5 million left would go into a savings account and I would live off the interest earned from that.

the rest of the money would go into a pile. I would buy a flame thrower. I would assemble the family.

I would say here is the the millions I just won. Normally this kind of money destroys families. they tear each other apart with greed over amounts of money they can't possibly spend in their lifetime anyway.

I would flick on the flame thrower and declare. you will all share this equally and not be greedy or I burn it right here right now.

In Johhny Depp fashion I would have bought an island. Maybe that Fl Key that is for sale and one of those luxury catamaran. And Chevy Camero ZL1. My mpg worries would be over. ^o)

Knowing my luck, If i won, i would probably die within the day i found out i won, by some unexplained phenomenon, or freak accident..... Like Hugo from that Lost tv series... Win the lottery, and then get stranded on an island.. Lol

But in all seriousness, if i did win, id build a small house, with a garage bigger than the house, and a car hauler, and drive cross country buying up metros and restoring them to whorde LOL

:gp My Geo friends would be very high on the list to give money away to. It's just hard to fathom that kind of money when you don't want/lust after much. After all of my friends and family had everything that they want/needed I would buy a small house in FL close to the beach and take LOTS of vacations to the Carribean! :D I would also invest a lot of it so my family would never have to worry about anything for generations to come. And then if there was anything left over I would go out and buy some silly stuff like an offshore Corvette boat and do poker runs from Miami to Key West. I would throw so much money at it that it would be so fast I would always be the first to get there so I would never have to deal with any stuckup rich bastards! :rofl

I would buy all fellow GMF members completely restored Metro XFI's, your choice of color, of course. Each would come with a lifetime supply of top quality 12" tires. :drivin

A HHHHUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE pole barn/shed would be mine! All the tools i need/would ever need. I would put my brother and dad to work fixing/working/rebuilding cars. I would probably have that as a side business. Hopefully break close to even or profit, but the main point would to give my bro and dad job security.

Buy a smaller house. Nothin fancy.

I would take my 86 civic hatch si and swap the engine out. Put in a sleeved block, boosted and make it all wheel drive!

Fix up my 72 malibu. Make it a comfortable cruiser.

Buy a very comfy everyday car like a caprice or caddy. That would be my main vehicle.

Buy some 4 wheelers/dirtbikes/odysseys/dune buggiess etc and go riding all the time!

Buy some shitty cars and have a demo derby in the back yard. Then try to ramp them if they still ran. After they break down, I would buy a big truck and run them over. Probably burn them after.

I would buy the house I grew up in from my brother. Go rent a wrecking ball and smash it. Then give that small lot to the neighbors....

I would buy my grandparents anything they wanted. If my grandpa wants some viagra and a young girl. BOOM he's got it!

Give my sister a college fund and if she doesn't go to school, I will take the money back.

Give several thousands of dollars to some very good friends that have helped me through the way.

Then I would take 80% and put it into investments/start a business for the future.

After, I'd go find a homeless guy, clean him up, buy him clothes, pay for his rent for 6 months or a year, help him find a job. All I would want is a contract saying that once this person makes ok money to survive, he/she does the same thing to another homeless guy. Hopefully it would start a cycle, but probably the homeless guy would be a druggy and relapse and go poor again.
