I'd be the same person with a lot of money. I'd find a woman who looks for rich naive men: a sophisticated sexy trophy, a perfect body with a mailable personality, a sex machine that understood the rules. And I'd have to learn some, being a blue collar un-manicured beer drinking mess, lifted from his familiar world like a hooked fish. I'd do a rain dance and my life would become a tornado of opulence and indulgence. Like a comet sputtering across the sky I'd die before I ran out of money and my memory would live for another year or so before that too got swept under the Persian carpets of my so called new friends. What ifs are freaking sweet.

I don't play the lotto. It's unfortunate the lotto even exists, because it's a tax on the poor. Americans making $13,000 per year spend ON AVERAGE $1000 a year toward the lotto, and NOTHING toward retirement or personal savings. Nothing good ever happens when somebody with no money all of a sudden receives a large sum of money that they didn't earn through their own effort. However, if you're putting a gun to my head, hypothetically if I won a lotto that large I'd give it away as fast as I could. |

Its not the lotto's fault that they are poor. It's not the lotto's fault that those same people spend 7% on the lottery and none on retirement. It's not the lotto's fault someone can't manage their money. The people that waste all the money on the lotto need to look in the mirror. It's their fault. I agree with you. The lotto is dumb. I never played it and probably never will. |

Pay off my debts, and all debts of immediate family members. Brother, sisters, parents, grandparents. Buy each of them a new vehicle. New vehicle and a house for myself, plus all furnishings. That's say, 1 million down. I suppose I could make all my furniture out of the rest. Good luck getting that stuff insured How much was that chair worth? Oh, about 25 million. That's covered right? |

Me? I've always had a dream of starting a non profit that recycled old computers for school kids. Right now on my local craigslist, and yours too, I'll bet theres some adds up for some asshole who is buying old computers to crush for their gold/recycle value, instead of letting the computer go to some 8 year old in need. Short term? Yes, it would mean allot more 12 year old trolls on the internet. But I dream of a day when kids are taught the rights and wrongs of what to do on the internet, not just get dropped into it and then left alone to go be trolls. I would take the restored computers, and rent out store fronts across the nation and give free computer lessons. I would also have the majority of it go to a scholarship fund for low income students. This would all happen after every member of my family got a new house, a new car (probably geos all around. Either they would appreciate it, or I could laugh at them every time they drove by knowing it bothered them. Half my family if you gave them a mussel car, they would kill themselves anyhow) I would also buyout any one of the small shops that arn't doing well around here, and hire them for on call geo repairs, and out back would be 50-100 parts geos, where I could just get replacements for parts every time something breaks. I would also hire one of you to run the shop, so that someone there knows what the hell hes doing, and doesn't just screw up the geos as they repair them. I would also own my own island, of course. And make a geo submarine. One I could drive from my island all the way to main land whenever I wanted. Hell, if I won enough, how much you think it would cost to buy a factory, and the name rights to Geo Metro? Then, I could go down the list of geo parts manufacturers here on the forum, and hire them all to run the factory. Imagine it, a parts company made by people who would actually use the parts..... I would also go to school for the next 20 years or so. First, computer degrees, then I'd get car repair degrees. Probably hire someone like engine doc to teach me everything he knows. If you aren't going to have to live life to try to get ahead and make money, then you should at least try to learn something! Edited by Oden, Dec 1 2012, 11:36 PM.

I personally have never bought a lotto ticket and suppose I never will. I have seen many many people buy them at a local store though and many that did not look like they could afford to buy a popsickle. People do have a way of getting priorities way out of whack. I would sure like to experience having multiple millions though. I cannot say just what all I would do for sure. Lately in my city there has been a commerical running on television that puts things into good perspective though. When I was a small kid a property owner next to my grandfather put a fence up across the property line and it cut across his driveway and made what appeared a split to his property. While I had the attitude and told my grandfather why dont you get angry about it or do something in return about it and get even? He responded no and was as nice to the other person as anything even though that person seemed to live to aggravate my grandfather. This really perplexed me as a kid. My heart knew what it meant to respond in hatred but forgiveness and acceptance I just could not grasp at that time. It took many many years for me to come to an understanding of this and this commerical was exactly that way for me. I have thought a lot about that situation when I was a kid and I am glad I have come to understand what he really meant. As for experiencing having millions, Yes I think I would live comfortably but I believe I could do a lot of good things along the way as well for a lot of people. |

I would have a much faster Metro. And more than likely, squander it all away on crap and tools. At the end have very little to show for it. I never really learned how to use money as a tool. Maybe try to do something for me Veteran brothers and sisters. They have done so much, and asked for so little in return.

I played the lotto for the first time this week when I heard it was up to 500 million!!! I had to look up on the internet how to actually play!!! But if I had won........ First off, I would quit my job very quietly. I'd give the normal 2 weeks notice. Then I'd very quietly pack up and move. I'd tell the neighbors that I got a job out of state or something. Then I would just quietly disappear. I'd buy a few houses in Hawaii, Breckenridge, L.A., Key West, and probably something in Germany. Then, like most of you, I would build a garage that would make Jay Leno shit his pants. So at that point, I suppose I'd have about 480 million dollars left I'd probably start heavily funding some sort of Cancer or Aids research....or both. I'd take half of the rest and invest it and the other half I'd just put in something REALLY safe like CDs or a money market or something. I'd spend the rest of my days being a professional college student, eating the best food available, fishing, hunting, rebuilding cars, learning foreign languages and raising a HUGE family. I'd probably adopt a whole butt load of kids and just do everything I could to make their lives awesome. That's it for starters

It should be noted that you'd have like 200 million dollars after it was all said and done. (I know 200 million is still an insane amount, but i'm just saying!) |
