The first thing I would do is buy DMT. After that I would shit on a cop car, then get sued by the cop, just to have the lawsuit in a picture-frame. That alone would make me win at life, forever.

I would have someone make a crown out of pure gold. I'd buy a red cape and a pure gold cane too. After that I would order people to call me your "high"ness... of course after smoking a joint that is bigger than my left arm. Then I'd buy a tommy gun and some grenades. I'd have a killer growroom too. Plus I'd buy a whole neighborhood and have "urban paintball."

After my shanannigans I would give my family and close friends some money and invest the rest.

Nice Lune! I remember this one episode, where Huey, Luey, and Duey did off with Unca' Scrooge's money. He found out, they got it back and they replaced it. Scrooge doesn't get halfway through a lap before realizing that the entire pool was A COIN light! I think Duey, that little shit, had it.

Harry, was the megadrive the UK sega genesis? And you're right, where are the gyro-copters?!?!

On topic, I'm with the Island/charity program. My family is all good, so if the lump sum figure is 100 mill, post-tax, I'm keeping 45. Take 5 and use it to set up a serious charity/search committee to find the people it will most benefit and use it to distribute the other 50 to those people.

I figure the island I can buy and outfit for 25 mill, and it'd be the sweetest thing ever. I'm thinking, life off the land in HIGH style would be the theme. Another 10 mill for a yacht, would leave me with 10 mill, cash. Even if I put that in a savings account with just 2% interest, it's still $200,000/year. More than enough to cover any incidental costs.

But ya gotta play to win, and I can't but help as look at it as America's tax on stupid people. Someone's gotta win though, right? Oh, and why are they trying to tell us that the odds of winning the lottery twice are like a zillion to one, when I've read about it happening to at least two people?! Who are these people who keep playing after they win?!?!?!?! It's insanity!

You guys crack me up, seriously...

But all this talk of giving money to family and friends, that's how previous lotto winners get in trouble. The limit on gifts before they're taxed is 12K a year. Give that to people who aren't extremely close to you: 12K a year. No, it won't mean they can quit their job, but it's still significant.

I was thinking today what if you won the Mega Millions lottery! How the hell would you react??? I think i would start hyperventilating and call up everyone I know and told them what happen. Now what would you do with the 270 million. You can have cash which would be 164.3 Million or you could have payments overtime. What I would do is quit school, fuck school I'd learn on my own! I would travel all around the world, I would give money to anyone who needs it in my family, I would help my friends out when they are in need whenever, It would totaly change me! Theres so many things i would do!!! Also what would be the first thing you buy? I think i would get myself a Maserati or something. Damnnn....

The wife and I were having this discussion just the other day actually. We're both rather 'low key'. I've devised a way to perform certain generous actions while appearing like a middle man. Sure I'd make small improvements on my house such as insulating in some areas, new widows, maybe a newer door on the one side. But nothing extremely noticible. everything we would do would be very slow going so that it seems like we just happen to work for the right 'person'.

All while still helping out our community in various ways. The wife and I also agreed that to give someone a big chunk of money might be sort of dooming them. Seriously most people can't manage going from next to nothing one minute and being able to afford anything you want the next. They just go nuts and start buying things like for example a Maserati.

Not to knock anyone's dreams, but I'd just like to make this point:

Consider the fact that anything you do will be noticed by any who can see you. Suddenly you roll up in a Ferrari or something one day and sure your neighbors notice, sure they might think its cool, sure they'll probably try being your friend to see where the money for this new toy came from and they'll likely mention it to someone else. Someone who might want to find a way to take some of that money from you. Its possible they may take someone you love and want to exchange them for your winnings.

Sure its a grim scenario, but you can't say it isn't possible. Also one has to remember that sometimes with big money, comes big bills. You buy one house in every single state and you're paying property taxes on all of them. Not saying that real estate isn't a good investment, far from it actually. Its very wise to purchase land or even houses, I'm simply saying there's a way to manage your investment so you're not paying taxes on a vacancy.

With money, you can make more money. The trick is to manage it carefully. Yes we would help out others, and we'd help them to help themselves too. Our friends and families are important, and watching them self destruct would be devastating. So I say, moderation. Be low key, and enjoy. Help others to enjoy, but sometimes you are the hidden miracle that people have been praying for. Just be the miracle not the surprise. :wave: Just my .02

I read a book recently titled "Money for Nothing" about a guy who worked in the lottery "Lump Sum" business. They would hunt down lottery winners who were in financial trouble. Until 2000 or so, most lotteries didn't offer a lump sum payment option. They would buy out chunks of the winner's lump sum payment and keep a hefty profit for themselves. The typical winner he worked with had won maybe $2 million. They were receiving ~70K/year in annual payments. Obviously that just wasn't enough.

The author himself was a serious gambler who swears he lost his shirt playing video poker in casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City.

It might seem like i wouldnt manage my money well from my posts but I would. I would deffiently invest in some things and invest in some ideas that I have thought over the years. But if I really did win, I would buy myself a new fast car! Get rid of my piece of shit, buy a pretty nice house, lay low, give some money to family, and just invest the rest! I wouldn't be one of those people that would go crazy and buy everything and don't take things into considerate like taxes and what not.

I would make a large donation to Swamp Kid's & the Star Bright Foundations.

And pay for Pop's anger management classes & treatment program.

And if I had a couple of million left over, I would get Yummy laid.
