I'd be pretty frivolous. I'd buy a small island or citizenship in another country. I'd payout to my immediate family so they'd all be millionaires as well.

I'd also buy one of those ridiculously priced condos in an urban center like NY, London, or Tokyo.
 
if I win im using a small portion of the money to buy an apartment with this view

It wouldn't be a small portion of the money.

So question: where is all this money going? Who is collecting this per lotto ticket?

Also if I win, I will buy everyone a beer. Even if you don't drink. I will throw a beer at you.

the 17 million dollar one would be.

$81,000,000 condo...fuck me.

lol right?!

Is the 81 million one going to basically look like the Osbourne's house on top of a skyscraper from the McGuire spiderman movies? If so, then I'll take it.

I think so? I don't remember what that looked like but full 360 degree view of nyc or w/e the top floor gives you is still awesome.

I once hooked up with a dude that had nearly this exact view in his apartment, as well as a wrap around patio on the 12th floor of an apartment building in Chelsea here in NYC. It was jaw dropping.

There should be more tampons in gaming
This is why I love when the lottery gets like this, I feel like people start dreaming again and imaging that these dreams are still possible.

See, I don't think I'd live in a big city. I want a house, ya know? Not an apartment that costs more than 60 houses.

Hell, I'd hire my brother to build it for me.

Something big enough so all the kids would have their own rooms and bathrooms (we currently have ONE shower for five people, holy shit)

Maybe a big play room for them, with couches and a tv and stuff.

Big backyard for the dogs, a nice workshop for the husband, and a seperate mother-law house a bit away from our house for my parents.

More rooms if my sister decides to come live with us, which I would push for, because she deserves to be taken care of for the rest of her life (disabled vet, who's stubborn and trying to make it on her own, not doing well, hopefully she wouldn't feel bad this time when I make the offer if I was stupid rich)

The house building brother would make bank without having to accept charity (he wouldn't) but I would force him to get his shoulder injury from 15 years ago fixed first, on my dime.

My other brothers I would set up too, if they wanted. One is doing very well for himself, the other not as well, but they deserve something too.

You had better get you some security for your place. People are known to try to kidnap lotto winners especially if you are turning up in a new house.

Matter fact, go ahead and get you a gun. Cameras, turrets, landmines, and a personal military unit. It will get THAT crazy.

Personally, I will get some turrets mounted on my yard, have a gun closet, and set up a lava trap surrounding my new home. I will have dark souls enemies guarding my place and waiting to knock you off into the lava.

Thanks.
 
I, at the age of 32, have not put a single dollar into any type of state sanctioned lottery/scratch tickets. I dropped $20 today just for the fuck of it. If it finally got to me I can't even imagine how many people are playing this thing for tonight.

GL everyone.
 
What I would do if I won.

Firstly, pay off my debt, my parents debt and my immediate families debt.

Next I would buy my parents a house and tell them if they want to retire, they can retire on my dime and I would cover everything.

I would give each of my brothers 5 million.

I would then buy nice size lot of land. Big enough for at least a 6 bedroom house, with theater room and man cave, and a huge shed/hanger in the back for toys like a boat, trailer/rv, Polaris rzr or two, etc.

Then find a great financial advisor to assist me in investing and make the remainder of the money work for me for the rest of my life.

Probably will continue trying to become an attorney just so I don't get bored haha.
 
I'm gonna win this. It's only fair after my huge gambling fuck up.


With $800 million to play with my progressive gambling system can't possibly fail!!!!!



:p
 
I'd give my dad, sister, mom, aunt, two cousins, grandparents, and uncle 5-10 million each.

Buy a 200,000 house in my current city. Travel to other cities and stay in fancy hotels.

Buy a 50,000 car.

Splurge on home entertainment.

Invest a lot and donate a good amount.
 
I've been looking up underground bunkers. I'd really like to stay where I'm at if I win, but would like to keep my new found riches on the down low. If I could make it look like I was just building a modest addion, but also build an underground complex on my current property, that would be killer.
