What would you do if you won the lottery?
Here's my list of what I'd do:

* Give some to mum and dad
* Buy loads of fields so nobody could build on them
* Get my dad a Harley and my mum a Vauxhall Zafira
* Buy a nice house with a pool
* Give money to cancer research in memory of my grandma and grandad
* Open a cat sanctuary
* Go to a Marilyn Manson concert
* Go on a bus tour of America
* Go on a cruise around the Norwegian Fjords
* Lots of small stuff like TVs

I would buy a gun to kill myself. After shooting all these people in the British Council who decide about the CPE exams.

If I won a lottery I'd wonder how much I had drunk to buy a lottery ticket :shake:

Hm, if I've won in the lottery. I'd split the sum in two. One I would try to get somewhere save. Save from me. The other half, I'd split again. One would be needed for the taxes, with the other I'd go on a trip, a lengthy trip somewhere where the weather is nice, not too hot, not too cold.

Seriously now,
*I would make a sunctuary for stray animals
*I would buy a house(not too large and without pool and these stuff)
*I would donate to the Boy Scouts(Yes! I'm one of them too!)
*I would buy all miniatures/paints/brushes etc I want
*I would buy all computer games I want
*I would donate to an orphanage or something like that.

IF I won all this money, which I wont because I never liked lotteries etc etc.

I would give all of it over to begin paying off my student loans (which I can tell are gonna not only be astronomic, but also gastronomic, animatronic and tectonic).

Or, pay a publishing house to publish anything I write and market it as pure gold. Or pay fox to recommission Futurama with me in a new VO role.... mmmmm...

- Pay off my debts.
- Pay off my parent's debts.
- Pay off my friends' debts.
- Tell the people who've lent money from me that they don't owe me anything. (Well, nothing but their gratitude anyway :) )
- Finally get that new comp with NWN.
- Get my own place, a small appartment, with one room designed as a dojo for my personal practice of the martial arts. (And of course also a gaming room ;) )
- Invest a portion wisely. :grin:

I'd buy some atributes for massaging people, like a table/bench whatever it's called.

Lots of charity.

Well, depending on how much I actually got after taxes and everything else, here's what I'd do:

#1: Buy a mansion off of PCH somewhere in Newport Beach, CA.
#2: Buy an Acura NSX, a Hummer H2, and a Benz 'E' class sadan. :cool:
#3: Pay off all debts for me, future wife, and Parents
#4: Buy all the swords I've always wanted. :D
#5: Waste the rest on little things here and there.

Yeah, that'd be cool. :rolling:

Sponser Sorcerers place for a decade.

Buy a new spanish guitar, so I can finish the song of Eze's poem with better acoustic sound, and find a way to send it to her. I haven't forgotten about it. ;)

Third? Help my family, I guess. and oh. Buy a canoe.

Divide it into half
1 - buy lands, acquire more lands and never sell it.
2 - set up a fund foundation for those pc gaming gifted youngters to study in university for whatever major they choose.

Actually I won't ever win it because I won't buy a ticket. I think that I prefer to save my $5 a year for 25 years rather than the lame zillions to 1 chance of me winning it.

Besides my uncle actually won it about 10 years ago so there is no chance of anyone else in the family....

Well, it would probably depend on how much I won.

Most of it would probably go into some saving thingy somewhere to use for university, buying a house etc.
I'd probably buy some cheap old car and a new computer which I've been wanting for ages.

Oh and maybe give some money to my parents to pay off their mortgage.

Depending on wether it was enough money to make a living for 2 years, or a real jackpot guaranteed to keep you alive and rich for life, I'd give a good amount of it to my friends.

Dreamer as I am, I've got about the right figures counted already about how much I need, and everything beyond that is extra. If I get let's say 3-4mil euros, you can bet I'll be giving 1-2mil away to my friends and family.

Other than that..? I don't know. Don't need to either. There are certain things I know I will never get in my life. They are the things that would in effect make my life useless, because after that I would have experienced all I ever wanted to. Finding the right person to share my life with or getting rich enough to last the rest of my life with the money would erase any goal, and any purpose of my life. What I would do then is anyone's guess. I'd get lazy and kill myself I guess, as I would be above all the trouble I have today.

If I won the lottary, I'd wonder why I, being 14 had a ticket and won. But after that, I would:

1)Drool
2)Drool some more
3)Slap myself to make sure I'm awake
4)Laugh at all my poor, poor friends

Oh yeah, and buy a whole lot of stuff.

I tell you what I'd do: two chicks at the same time, man. :cool:

sorry - this post reminded me too much of the movie "Office Space" - couldn't resist :D Hmmm...

1. Relieve everyone in my family of any debt.

2. Buy them all homes.

3. Set up trust funds for my nephews, so they don't end up being white trash scumbags like their mother (no, she's not my sister)

4. Put the rest in the highest interest-bearing savings account I can find and live off the interest. :money:

That's the smart me. The OTHER me would...

1. Purchase MTV and completely change the programming. All lame-ass shows will be replaced with 24 hours of Chili-Peppers, Alice in Chains, Def Leppard, Devo and Garbage videos, with "I Dream of Genie" and "Speed Racer" reruns to be shown at night. Current programming director responsible for the show "TRL" will be hog-tied and flogged for shameless brain-washing of American teenagers and making them all morons and pop-culture puppets.

2. Purchase small island in the Carribean and populate it only with midgets and swimwear models. Declare myself king.

3. Commission the construction of the largest rubber dildo ever made. Use it to beat Oprah Winfrey to death.

4. Buy General Mills cereals, so I would have an endless supply of Golden Grahams and Cinnemon Toast Crunch. Kick ass. :cool:

5. Purchase all original 3 Stooges movies and watch them. Drink heavily. Require midget servants to reenact my favorite scenes.

6. Hire squad of british Yardie mob thugs to patrol the streets and beat to a pulp any white kids who use the following phrases: "Whuss-up, dawg?" "Yo, that is wack!" and "That is tight, G!" The adornment of, or reference to "bling bling" will be treated especially harshly. The head of Eminem will be stuff and mounted on my wall...as a warning.

7. Buy original Batmobile and fight crime.

8. Stop posting on SP at 9pm when I've been at work since 7:30 this morning and I should be working on meeting my deadline...which I won't.

9. Can I have a hug?

J. I farted. H ha hahaha

:coffee:
