If you won the Lottery, what would you do?

[FlamingoBlue]

Assumning that big bucks are involved.

I would likely give most of the money away.

I'd donate enough to a school that they'd have to hire me to teach!

I'd also get a house that had a jacuzzi in the bathroom and a bidet. What a great thing to have a warm water stream just where you need it before and maybe even after, if I had the strength to get to the bathroom. I'd get a kitchen with professional appliances, a huge island, a blow torch (for creme brulee), a high-temp wok, and a person to clean up after I cook.

I take care of the "required"s first; bills, parents, kid's college, donations, etc.

THEN, I'd buy a 1969 ZL-1 Corvette and a GT-40 for our collecton. Next, I'd buy a 1965 GTO, yank the motor, drop in a crate motor and a blower, strip for weight, slap on some slicks, and spend the rest of my days at the track.

Well actually I am totally against the Lottery on principle. Voltaire descibed it as a "tax on the poor" and I'd have to agree. Since the Lottery was launched in the UK, donations to charities have decreased, even allowing for the charitable donations made by the Lottery organisers. I regularily see people who obviously have little money buying absurd amounts of lottery tickets. The desperate look in their faces saddens me .....

However if I won the lottery(!) I'd start my own business - probably a bar somewhere in London that possibly brews its own beer or something. That would be very cool indeed. It'll never happen though - I've heard you need to buy a ticket in order to win.

Depends on how much I won. Investing and paying off debts would be first. Vacation second. Buying homes for family. That's if I had enough to do all that.

Pay all my bills, buy my parents a mansion and set up college funds for my younger brothers.
Then, I would buy a sex slave to wait on me hand and foot, and obey my every command. Any volunteers?

Gee, I tell you about a few little uses for fruit and you jump right in!

 

[Skitten]

First I would pay off all my debt, then I would by a nice house. I would by the hubby a harley davidson he always has wanted and my kids anything they really wanted. And I think I would buy some kind of business so I could work for myself and no one else and it would be ours.

I've daydreamed about this a lot lately. Hoping that it's a LOT of money, I'd get my family what they want. I'd also get a Lear and a private pilot so I could travel wherever whenever I wanted. I would also allow the plane and pilot to be used for humanitarian purposes. I'd build my dream house and hire someone to cook, clean and do whatever else. I would make sure that kids got to go to ball games and sit on the FRONT row. I'd boot Spike Lee's ass and all the other filthy rich SOB's out of the building! I would set up a fund to pay for veternary care so people wouldn't have to put their pets to sleep because they couldn't afford necessary treatment. This would include spaying and neutering. Of course I'd quit my current job. I'd like to think that I could be happy, and good at, administering funds to charities. Knowing me like I do, the people that begged the most would be the ones that didn't get a thing! Any solicitor that contacted me would be told in not so friendly words that their services would not be needed. If I want something, I know where the yellow pages are and I know how to use them! I'm sure that I've forgotten a couple of things, but that's all I can think of right now.

I am not a doctor, I just play one

If I had the time given me due to independent wealth, I would complete my doctorate.

My big fun hobby to indulge would be to wander around New Guinea collecting specimens of freshwater rainbowfish. That idea worked well for the Rockefeller young 'un.

And I would renovate an old movie palace (with a name like Tivoli or Rialto) with real balconies and a curtain that pulled back to reveal the screen and show good old movies, even if I was the only person in the audience. Screw Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler - give me people who could act and tell a story!

Ahem, considering I sell lottery tickets and I know how painfully slim the odds of winning a winfall are, AND considering my own rotten luck, I'd have to say my chances of winning the lottery are less than nil.

But, going on a completely ficticious postulate here, I'd have helluva lot of fun with the moola!!

Since I have sold lottery tickets for quite some time, I'd give money to those nice customers who I would have liked to have seen win but never did. But I wouldn't just hand them the cash, I'd arrange to have winning scratch tickets made that I'd sell only to them, just so I could see the looks on their faces, and the looks on the faces of the customers I can't stand. <evil grin>

And then I'd do all that other stuff that anyone would do with a lottery win (make the lives of the loved ones comfortable, travel, invest, donate to charities). I'd also pay some sexy guy to snuggle with me and brush my hair for hours on end.
