Subject: winning the lotto
How would you spend the money if you won the lotto? After giving money to charity, paying off the bills, etc. The decadant stuff.
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
I love this question! The possibilities.....
I would organize a message board party and would pay for everyone's transportation; time off of work etc. And it is going to be in Indianapolis (centrally located for all those in the U.S.). I will let Indy Gent organize all the catering, music, hall, bar etc. (And I know where I am going to be spending all my time, and it ain't on the dance floor ;) )
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
If I won the lottery I'd probably do something really lame.
Like, go to France and spend five years learning to be a master chef.... or going off to live in Nepal for a year... a year long world tour is an attractive possibility... or maybe just buy an old Winnebago and spent a year or two touring America with a small dog.
I would NOT buy a watch, or a new pair of tight shoes, or a cell phone. I may not be decadent, but I'd sure as hell be self indulgent.

First i would take every single dollar to my house, stash it up in my closet and before i close the door, i will just stare at all of it for about six minutes. Then after that, i would throw it all out the window and share it with everone.
                :) :) :) :) :)
Oh, any may i add, i would buy some fruit and lots of cat food for my cats!

Of course, if I hit that $70 million Powerball jackpot tonight, I'm gonna go travelin' and share the wealth with my family. I think organizing a meeting amongst the regular posters might be a little difficult, but if I give them the money, would they come? Maybe, maybe not… ???
Edited to add:
I didn't win the $70 million, but I did win $4. Oh well.

Give me the money and I will show up.
I would buy my sister a house and remodel my moms. Then I would buy me a new house and a Kia Sportster. Then of course there would be a college fund for the munchkin. If I won enough, I would definately quit my job.

Would you come? Wearing the cowboy hat and the snakeskin boots? ;D If you do, I promise I will pull myself away long enough to say "Hi" and make some smarta$$ quip about plume and ice! ;) ;D
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
I don't know what I do yet but I know that I would moon my supervisor front and back and say **** you."I won the lottery and you didn't"!Of course,that would be a little stuck-upish of myself. ;D -howard-
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
Depending on how much I win.....I would buy a boat, a nice home with an avairy full of exotic birds. Travel, travel, travel, and spend needlessly. After about a year or two (maybe more) I will sit in my nice home and ask myself where did all the money go.
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
I would buy a castle and I would adopt a lot of cats from animal shelters!

They once had a "Chateau" for under $20,000 but it was pretty run down, and looked like a nice haven for rats. I like the British castles, but they're the most expensive and a lot of times they won't sell them to foreigners.
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
I'd start a foundation to help educate employers on safety for thier employees...first up.....subway corporation >:(
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
Well, I took the $4 I won in the lottery and put $3 into Saturday night's $80 million Powerball jackpot and spent the other dollar on a game with a top prize of $25,000 which will be drawn tomorrow night. I'll see if I made good.

I'd buy my 4-Runner, redo the motor on the little red babe-magnet and then TRAVEL!! I'd definitely go back to Italy and then I'd just explore...and I'd try to meet up with everyone on here!! That would ROCK!
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
I would just pay the bills and bank the rest. I wouldn't give up my job. It would be to boring to not work.(even though I'm constantly saying I need a holiday)

Aren't some people so filthy rich that they become citizens of the world? The British are awful snooty sometimes.....
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
after giving a 2 million to charity and buy clothes and toys for the orphanage........ I would take the rest of the money travel to about 4 differ places, get a car, a nice apartment in San Fran Cisco with a bay window to look out over the ocean so it will be romantic if I had a guy friend over, get tons of Marilyn Monroe stuff, adopt tons of pets and buy furniture. of course winning the lotto to me is like Britney Spears wearing clothes. I know it's never going to happen.

I'd get a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar signed by Robbie Krieger... and i'd go visit Jim Morrison's grave in France.. chances are i would do a lot more drugs.. that tends to happen to people with money.. I'd buy the Cincinatti Bengals too (cause you know that wouldn't cost much).
i'd prolly have Castro assasinated (successfully this time)
and then i'd become an NFL player, murder someone i'm in a relationship with, and then hire Johnny Cochran to get me off the hook (like such icons as O.J Simpson and Ray Lewis) ... just because i could..

Subject: Winning the PBall just got a little harder
The odds of winning the biggie on Powerball went up this month (October). Used to be 1 in 80 million shot; now it's 1 in 120. They've increased the number of powerballs from 49 to 53. The annuity payment options have changed, too, from 24 to 29 years. I switching to a new game. >:(
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
Oh gosh. After the obvious (paying bills, buying my own house and car and hiring a few servants) the most important thing to me would be starting up a training and employment agency for single moms.
Anyone who has ever seen the original British mini-series "The Life and Loves of a She-Devil", or read the novel it's taken from will understand what I mean. The agency would train and educate women in job skills, place them in jobs, provide baby-sitting and/or nannies, do the grocery shopping, run the other errands, ect. All the things a single mother needs to become self-sufficient, and does not have, or does not know how to get.
I'd also like to travel, to several places. And I'll definitely be at the party, where ever it's going to be held. And my date will be that actor that I have a crush on. Enough money will get you anything :o
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
Pay off the debt my ex left me!!!!!!!!! >:(
and then travel like a FOOL!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D
Subject: Re: winning the lotto
After the initial "Help out my loved ones" thing:
1. QUIT MY JOB! (actually this comes RIGHT after i learn I've won!)
2. SPEND A WEEK SHOPPING - Clothes, Music, Appliances, and other flashy stuff...
3. TRAVEL FOR A FEW YEARS - Sweden, Norway, Europe, Antarctica, NZ, S.E. Asia etc...
4. BUY A FEW HOUSES - in different climates
5. KICK BACK AND MAKE A BIIIIG FAMILY! :) *blush*
6. PUT A CHUNK OF CASH IN A HIGH INTEREST ACCOUNT AND WITH THE MONTHLY INTEREST EARNED, EVERY MONTH VISIT SCHOOLS IN UNDERPRIVELIDGED AREAS AND TAKE THE ENTIRE FACULTY SOMEWHERE GREAT FOR THE DAY!
Oooh, the possibilities are endless.
