What would you do if you won the lottery?

Archive: 30 posts


Hello guys.

So what would you do if you gained a lottery ticket that bailed out the whole vault's worth of $/?9,000,000? Personally I would probably share it out to different major charities of any kind and keep 300,000 worth of it to buy a house, car, and then bail the rest of it into a bank for interest. Preparing for later life

So what would you do? Discuss.

I have such wonderful plans to change my life that I would die of an heartache in the moment I would realize that I could buy my freedom.2011-04-28 11:02:00

I have a long list.
First I'd pay off my debts (student loans, credit card, etc...)
Then I'd fix up my car.
Pay off my mom's house and give her money to fix it up.
Fix my brother's car.
Buy a house.
Give my grandparents and some friends that need it... some amount of money. Lol, whatever they need to get themselves back on track.
Ideally, I'd also open up my own animal shelter and/or bookstore. Assuming I could figure out how to manage them.

If I were to win the lottery I would be very surprised - considering I don't buy a ticket.

I get an email every other week telling me I've won some lottery or other - and I just continue my day to day activities exactly the same

First thing i would do is buy a load of SONY shares. They must be half the price now, and in a year or so when
they are worth double... I sell them.

Then after i spread a bit of money around my family and friends, I go on a round the world cruise First class.

Also i'll give to some local charities, never forget the charities.

Set aside some money for important issues, like college and my future gambling addiction.
Then a super gaming computer :kz:

Get a heart attack... because I just won the freakin' lottery.

Then I'd use the money to help pay off those medical bills I'd receive later once I get that heart transplant.

That's not as stupid as it sounds you know.

"The chances of winning the lottery with a single ticket is 1 in 14 million;
the chance of death within one year for a middle-aged healthy man might be one in 1,000. If so, the chance he dies within the next week is one in 52,000; within the next day about one in 365,000, within the next hour about one in nine million - still bigger than the chance of a jackpot share. Indeed, on these figures, he is about as likely to win a jackpot share with one ticket as he is to die in the next 40 minutes"

But if you buy several thousands tickets - the chances of you winning are radically improved.. at least compared to 1 in 14 million
You may not win the jackpot - but many of those tickets will "pay-back" with 3, 4 or 5 numbers matched

Never work again, outright buy a nice property and spend the rest of my days doing the things I want to do.2011-04-28 15:00:00

Indeed.

Interesting fact:
If you buy a single ticket every week for a year (52 tickets), the odds of winning are still about 1 in 14 million.
But if you buy 52 tickets for a single draw once a year, the odds of winning are about 1 in 270,000.

It'll cost you exactly the same yet your chances are greatly improved.

Share half with my parents (assuming that I won and not them), then save half of my part.

As for the other half of my part:

1. Throw my actual computer in the trash and buy a new and overpowered one;
2. Buy lots of PSN cards (on the internet, assuming that PSN got fixed by then);
3. Save a bit for school lunch, then brag to my parents about being able to pay for my own lunch;
4. Use it as bragging fuel for my friends.

Think, hmm, I don't remember buying a ticket, then consider the fact that I am too young to buy a ticket, then think, meh, and go and force the goverment to give me a licence 2 years early, buy a house, get an alien cat, buy my dog a house, make sackboy real, and finally I would stop those invisible and from ruling man-kind!!!2011-04-28 18:24:00

"Get a new computer"
"Give it to charity"
"Buy a house"...

what lame, lame uses for a lottery win... exactly why none of you deserve to win it.

I would pay a mad scientist to genetically splice a Rhino with a Horse and make Unicorns real.

I could do that for you. Hit me up when you win.

Me? I'd buy Mm studios and chose my own **** MMpicks. Well, that and two chicks at the same time.

Not stupid at all, it's been done successfully, most likely by a few people. One man won $30,000,000 used it to buy more tickets, I can't remember how much he spent or how many tickets he bought, but he went on to win $80,000,000 from those tickets.

I'd donate it to Japan and disaster and go to Alabama and places where the string of Tornados struck across the USA the worst, and give the homeless money for food, and meals myself. And food places for the homeless. And probably Animal help places so Animals can have homes.2011-04-29 01:41:00

get my whole family out of debt, move to the mountains of Montana and live off the grid.
on a side note: I know a guy here in town who hit 5 million dollars last year, he's bought a bunch of stuff, cars, adding on to house etc. but he goes down to the store and buys scratch off tickets by the roll, it's nothing for him to drop $5,000 at a time. He scratched a million 4 days ago, a couple of days later 25,000 and yesterday another million. Wow.

So you wouldn't give money to Japan, Or the enviroment (especially), or the whales, or research for Colony Collapse Disorder, and instead spend it on trying to make a mythical creature?

(Although, if it succeeded, that would be pretty cool.)

Personally when I wrote I'd get a decent property and do what I want to do that would include stuff like making prototypes of inventions I've had in mind for years, writing books-meaning I'd collate my own library for research, making animated movies, writing computer programs, paint on stupidly big canvases from sketches I've made, designing and making clothes, rebuilding cars I love but no longer exist... all the stuff I don't have time or money to do now. My to-do list is more than a lifetime's work before even getting to where I'd love to travel...
