You Just Won The Lotto

[sealybobo]

1st Scenario I would live frugal and not work.

2nd scenario homes for my family and friends. Pay off debts for people I am close to.

Would they have to work? Would you live in the town you live in now? I would leave my area code and stay connected to my real friends but I'd never go to local bars and have everybody asking you for money.

I'd move to gated communities.

They had a serial rapist living in one in WD for years. The people thought they were safe behind the gates and fence.

Id actually live in a gated compound like Scarface. And big well trained dogs and guns

 

[sealybobo]

I would pay off my daughter's college tuition and set up a trust fund for her that she could only get yearly and not all at once. Same for my son. Then I would pay off my little brother's new home he just had built and create college trust funds for his children. I would find friends that were going through tough times and help them.

Then I would randomly look for people that needed help and spend it until I didn't have a single dime left. There is nothing on this planet, no earthly possession or pleasure that "jazzes" me...at least not one that could entice me to splurge on when so many have so little. You might say that I had a life altering change of priorities when I lived in Detroit for three years.

Louis ck has a funny bit where he admits he clearly doesn't care about poor people because he drives a $50,000 car. He could drive a perfectly good $25,000 car and give the rest to charity but he doesn't because he's a horrible person

Two scenarios.

1. You win enough so you don't have to work but you have to be economical. Do you continue to work 45 hours a week?

Me, I'd keep working until I had enough NO WAY I'd ever run out. No possible emergency could wipe me out. Id probably put the money in a safe annuity and live off the payments. I'd be modest and not blow the money. I wouldn't buy a bigger place I'd just pimp out mine.

2. You won a mega. Where would you go and what would you do?

My family goes to Greece every year around july-august so two months a year would be in Greece. September would be all about hunting up north Michigan Oct 1 thru Jan 1.

Where to go jan-april 1st. Somewhere warm. I usually say Florida but there are so many cool places. Maybe I would live somewhere different every year these 3 months.

April-july 5th I would live local but on a much more rich lake. I live on a lake with upper middle class people now. There are lakes where every home is a couple million $. I'd live in a better area code.

Or I'd get an RV and take trips in it.

I have very little interest in bling, expensive cars, etc but I would have a sweet Jeep and a sports car.

Definitely a sailboat on the great lakes.

Maybe a massive yacht in a marina on the Florida keys or a houseboat on lake Cumberland.

A helicopter.

Horses, dogs, barn, land, rescue cats.

If you were in my posse you'd never have to worry about money.

Anonymous donations to people who need it. Not to charity. Directly to the person who needs help.

Piston, tiger, lions, uofm, msu, redwing games.

Fine dining, best clothes, more toys like side by sides, another quad, another jetski

A $1 lotto ticket is worth every penny

Hand the lawyers a retainer go find a safe place while the lawyer takes out the thieves who made up deeds to our property while the banksters were trying to turn us into ashes. Send the dogs in for a good grooming. Buy two things I have wanted for years but never took the time to spend the money on them as I thought they would be more like luxury items to have.

What two things?

A new microscope and computerized embroidery machine.

Ever see a tardigrade?

How about a sweet telescope for star gazing?

No I haven't. Just a modern microscope would be cool.

1st Scenario I would live frugal and not work.

2nd scenario homes for my family and friends. Pay off debts for people I am close to.

What would you do for fun? What would make you happy? What toys? How would you be charitable?

My job would be to work out for two hours every day. I don't think it's healthy to have nothing to do. So every day is go to the gym, work out, sauna and massage every day. Haircut every week. I think I'd keep very busy without work.

And like mitt Romney ID watch my portfolio and call that work.

I'd like to fix up old cars for a hobby too.

I would set up trust funds for people I am close to. They would have to get a college degree or do volunteer work helping other people in need.

I would adopt senior pets and rescue animals and have a farm or ranch. I would pay people to help take care of them.

My home would be open for people who need to rest and get calm from life's strife.

Basically I am already happy, money would just take off the financial stress and allow me to help other people I am already close to.

Karma has a way of biting one in the ass and he will learn that some day. I am one of those "pay it forward" kinda guys. If I have it and you need it, take it and God bless. God has always supplied my needs.

 

[Grandma]

Scenario 1 - Work, but 40 hours/week, no overtime, once the bills are paid off.

Scenario 2 - Big house, nice cars, pay the bills, for self and relatives. Vacation home in some fancy schmantzy high-end neighborhood near DC (I love that town.) College & trust funds for the grandkids. Charity donations geared towards education in poorer urban, suburban, and rural districts.

If I won the mega lottery, I'd give half the money to you. Then I would hire a guy to live in Greece from July to August. His only job would to make your time over there as miserable as possible.

Then I would buy 1000's of deer rifles and give them away to people in Michigan. The only thing they would have to do to get the free rifle, is follow you around playing a harmonica while you hunt.

After I give away all those rifles, I'd buy a house right next to your new house on your new lake. I'd would let recently paroled sex offenders stay in the house for free. The only stipulation is they would have to spend 2 hours a day video taping you in your house, and then post the videos on this forum.

The last thing I'd do, make sure any person who needed money had your name, address and phone number, And I would let know you won the lottery, you are rich, you are liberal, and you want to help.

Life would be so Grand!

Couldn't possibly play the Lotto. One, I'm too good at math. Two, the last thing I want to do is further fund government.

I would just pay a guy in Detroit $5k to kill you. And you say blacks won't work if you pay them a fair wage.

It's worth a buck. Just fantasizing about what I would do with the winnings is fun

 

[PoliticalChic]

First I would donate 10% to my church.

Second I would donate another 10% to my favorite secret charity.

Third, I would put the entire amount into IRAs and Roth IRAs, and invest aggressively into at least a half dozens mutual funds.

Fourth, using the revenue from the investments, I would find some place that did not have a battered women's shelter, and open one.

Fifth, I would then join some charitable organization, working about... 30 hours a week, and spend the rest of my time, running my podcast.

Oh, I would also fix the air conditioning in my 2003 Grand Marquis.

Based on this excellent post I would guess that you've read Charles Murray's "Coming Apart."
For any who have not, he writes about four fundamental values in white society...a working class town and a wealthy one.

1. In 1960, marriage was the norm in both venues…about 94% in Belmont, and 84% Fishtown. Over 90% of the children were born to married parents. In both towns the stats were decreasing over time, but by the 1980’s, Belmont stabilized, while the trend continued in Fishtown: marriage down to 48% by 2010, with half the children born out of wedlock…
   1. “Here is the lottery ticket that single mothers are handing their innocent children by choosing to raise them without fathers: Controlling for socioeconomic status, race, and place of residence, the strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent.” Coulter.
2. The second of four characteristics that describe the differences in the communities is industriousness. In 1960, all the males worked. By 2008, prior to the recession, one of eight males in Fishtown didn’t work; in Belmont, 97% worked. This is unrelated to boom or bust economies.
3. Crime: little or none in Belmont. In Fishtown, the rate increased by four to six times.
4. Religiousity dropped about 25% in Belmont, but it fell to 12% in Fishtown: it was no longer a force in the community.

I'm sure, but the portion of that buck that isn't paid out in winnings (a portion so low, any Las Vegas casino paying out like that would IMMEDIATELY be shut down by authorities and the owners prosecuted) goes to the government. They already take nearly have my income in taxes. I'll not contribute more.

With lotto profits no way we should be in debt. No way. The whole system sucks but not if you have money. There are winners in America and losers. I already am a winner I just want more. And I want more for the losers, not less.

But isn't God/devil all about testing/tempting us? That's no proof. Lol

I did cocaine in the past. Not good. I would stay away. But I would seek out and find the most richous weed. Eat the best food and not be stupid with the money or my life.

Ok maybe one trip to Vegas with you but that's it. Or once a year. No! Never mind. Never again.
