A slightly different Lottery Question

[Weird Harold]

Every time some lottery reaches record proportions, or the Megabucks (tm) jackpot gets over ten or twenty million dollars, we get a thread asking what you'd do with the money. (See "The Big Game Lottery is Over 360 million")

My question is, "If I won 360 Million Dollars what would you try to convice me to spend some of it on?"

Do you have a sick grandmother whose medical bills are putting you in the poorhouse?

Got an invention that needs financing?

Are you young, beautiful, and willing to prostitute yourself for a piece of the pie?

I'm less than $2000 dollars in debt, and a new car is about 1% of the winnings, so I'd have LOTS left over for friends and frauds.

How about you buy out Literotica, put the owners on big fat salaries, and then give every poster free broadband, a webcam, and a round trip ticket for a threeday weekend to a tropical paradise?

 

[Dillinger]

What would I try and convince you to spend some of your money on?

Damn good question.

Parkinson's research.
Children's charities.
Think Tank to end world hunger.

Hear, Hear!

Parkinson's

Stem Cell research

Money to pay for research into diseases of the third world which huge multinational pharmaceutical companies won't touch with a ten foot pole because they are too busy creating paxil and viagra. ( my little rant )

How about towards a national health care system for the US. since it so badly needs upgrading ( I am sure I will get shit for that!)

Now that's a horrible thing to ask of a Reformed Lush.

I could probably be talked into funding a seminar on How to have fun -- And remember it though.

 

[Dillinger]

Actually - I've got another one that hits home.

On February 26, 2002, GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the Lyme vaccine "LYMErix", pulled the vaccine off the market, blaming poor sales.

So if you won the lottery, maybe you could fund a stockpile of it?

I almost didn't post that because I could not remember if you were or not.

I could probably be talked into an interest free loan at the very least.

I'm very big on education, so scholarships, grants and student loans would be a pretty soft touch.

 

[Baron]

I still like my idea!

The jackpot is only 360 Million, not 360 TRILLION. Perhaps a large chunk of Pharmeceutical (voting) stock to gain some influnce over their policies could be achieved, but not 360 Million isn't even close to being enough to buy control.


Baron, I might donate a big chunk to Literotica, but the scale of the jackpot still wouldn't allow me to provide broadband connections for every literotican.

 

[Starfish]

Too bad you didn't win sweetie pie. No one did.

Okay, so...
If I were asking for you to help me I would have asked you to front me the money to start up my own gallery and studio.
Oh, and I'd ask you to pay off my school debt so I could go on with my work debt free.

Oh come on! You'd get first dibs on any peices you wanted.

Okay, I'd pay you back.

If I were asking you to use the money for something, I'd urge you to support your local shelters and free health clinics and other things for education maybe.

What about setting up that literotica orgy house I've been talking about?
