Powerball winner story

[Strangebuddy]

guy or gal wins the big drawing. They do their thing, paying off debts, buying new cars, a house...etc.

But what comes next? Let's say our lead was formerly single, they now have ungodly amounts of money, what do they do to satisfy their own needs?

Some examples:

1. Guy is having family come out of the woodwork to try and get some of his money. Fed up, he buys an island and a mansion, trying to get away from everyone. Anyone who comes to the island has to be wearing next to nothing and be willing to do whatever he wants. Surprisingly, he still has people coming to the island willing to abide by those terms.

2. Guy has always had a celebrity crush, the celebrity is trying to get a vanity project going, guy invites her/him to dinner to talk about the movie.

OR: maybe guy or gal hasn't cashed the ticket in yet and they've let the beans slip to a few people, now everyone they know is willing to do whatever they have to to get that ticket.

EDIT: 3. The ticket's a forgery: the lead pretends to have the winning ticket when they just have a fake. They then take advantage of all the people offering them favors in exchange for a cut of the prize money.

I've seen more than a few lottery-ticket stories here, and also some billionaire stories. So, mashups. How do ordinary schlubs react when they're suddenly on the Forbes Richest 500 list? Who goes totally asshat, or totally saint, or whatever? Who tries to buy their way into power? Of course the winner doesn't get it all at once. US$1bln after taxes paid out over 20 years is only US$50mln per year. Shucks, you couldn't even buy Alcatraz for that.

Door-to-door religious solicitors may find their faiths strained -- but they persevere for the reward. Raelians have the best chances.

I really like your scenario. ALL visitors, family included (or especially), must strip and submit. Guy or gal hires ironclad security to enforce the rule -- so, hot security goons are part of the action. And maybe tentacle monsters creep onto the island...

2. Guy has always had a celebrity crush, the celebrity is trying to get a vanity project going, guy invites her/him to dinner to talk about the movie.

Starfucking may ensue, eh? Wait, isn't this how El Chapo got caught? Be careful about which stars you talk to.

OR: maybe guy or gal hasn't cashed the ticket in yet and they've let the beans slip to a few people, now everyone they know is willing to do whatever they have to to get that ticket.

I recently re-read Carl Hiaasen's LUCKY YOU about exactly that scenario. A strong black woman and two asshole redneck neo-Nazis each have a winning ticket. The assholes beat and rob her; someone (no spoilers) ends up with both tickets.

Turn that into a less violent, more sexual story. John's wife Jane buys a winning ticket; for IR fun, he's white and she's black. Latina or Asian beauty Lavinia also has a winning ticket. They somehow learn of each other before cashing in. Everyone tries to seduce everyone else for the grand prize. For more fun, Lavinia's sibling is on the scene. Cue the Scooby-Doo chase.

Lol, it would be fun to see how far charities, door-to-doors, and other groups would be willing to go to get a cut.

"Stacy, while Janice is sucking the chocolate off those bananas, tell me, how can your organization assure the survival of the tango fruit bat?"

"Can you turn off the sybian first?"

"No"

Or when the reporters come and find they have to bare all if they want the story.

Family members would of course be the big one. Maybe guy only intended his distant relatives, only to see his sister and mom get led out of a changing room in pasties and thongs.

I really like your take on the last idea

Most of them are married mothers now. The rest are often-divorced sluts who'll do anything he says. They soon bore him.

But there's a local island girl, a fisherman's daughter, a saucy wench who isn't impressed with his money and mansion and private island. He runs into her in a mainland store. She ignores him; he is mesmerized. The story is of his pursuit without using his money (much).

Have him pay a bunch of A list celebrities to have a wild orgy.
