Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot - was $540M, now $640M

When I win later today I'm going to immediately tell all the lazy asses I work with how shitty they are then I'll immediately retire, buy a new house, and take many vacations with the family. Other than that I'd help out the people that have helped me and save the rest for my kids.

It's going to be a good day.
 
- Tell no one.
- Get the payout via blind trust.
- Move to an area where no one knows me.
- Upgrade all my hobbies (cars, games, computers, etc.)
- Probably go back to school.
 
- Give my parents a ton of cash so they don't ever have to work again. I'd pay off all their loans as well.
- Set up trusts for my sister and brother for college.
- Gift as much as allowed to my closest aunts, uncles, and cousins.
- Pay off one of my best friends pharmacy school loan.
- Give to some of the people i work with.
- Give some to every firefighter in my local community.
- Give some to my neighbors.
- Take a portion of the winnings and set up a non-profit program to help people in my community with keeping their homes, paying for medical bills, paying for good food, etc.
- Open a nonprofit no kill animal shelter on a gigantic piece of land that would allow the animals to be able to roam freely on the property. I would love to employ a few vets and dog trainers full time with awesome benefits, as well as provide low cost vet care and training to people who adopt the animals. I'd also like to institute a system where each animal is evaluated and matched up appropriately with what people are looking for in a pet.
- Set up scholarships for low/middle income people to go to college.
- Set up a school that will teach children more appropriate skills needed in the future, such as critical thinking, instead of just memorizing material from a textbook.
- Give to various charities.
- Set up a fund to help people in my community afford alternative forms of energy such as solar, geothermal, etc.
- Buy every cag member a game of their choice.

As for myself, there isnt much i honestly want. I'd definitely pay my mortgage off, finally take my wife on a honeymoon since we couldnt afford one when we got married and i'd get the neck surgery i've needed for over a year that my insurance refuses to pay for. Other than that stuff I'd rather use the majority of the money to help those i love and my community and try to make a difference in peoples lives.
 
Pay off my debt, my fiancée's car note, pay for her school, too. I'd also surprise her with one of those platinum weddings she talked about. I'd buy a house for my mom, have my cousins live out here in sunny SoCal, give some cash to my co workers, to my church, some homeless shelters, animal shelters, and then I would travel the world.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up too 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
 
I'm buying my boi Javery some pizza and then pay him an astronomically high amount of money to teach me how to build arcade machines.

Word. I'd be up for that in a second. Did you see some restaurant just opened up in NYC that only serves deep fried pizza? I need that ASAP. It looks sooooo good...
 
I guess I should stop by somewhere tonight to get a ticket. Even though I haven't played the lottery in probably 2 or 3 years. This could end bad for me, but oh well.

If I win, aside from quitting my job, I don't know what I'd do. Probably die from a heart attack just from all the shock.
 
Buy myself a real anime girl. I'm not sure how that'll be possible, but with $540 million I'm sure it'll work itself out.
 
Step 1: quietly claim the prize
Step 2: build money bin
Step 3: roll around in my millions like Scrooge McDuck
Step 4: probably die choking on a nickel in said money bin n have the rest of the money end up going to family that'd blow it all in the frickin' casinos here:whistle2:#

Actually I would most likely do step one out of those four above. I'd also set up college funds for my one buddies' nieces n nephews cuz I'm practically family to them. I'd also set up my dad in a house of his own, move my mom out to Vegas area more than likely move someplace that's warmer all the time(fuck this winter/summer bs in PA).
 
I dont normally play the lotto but the pot is so large that its worth a buck....why wont you play crunch?


Other than mine and my wife's parents I would give virtually no money to anyone. I would invest in what they wanted to do in life but I wouldnt just hand them money all willy nilly.

Other than that....about the same as I am doing now. Continue to run my business and live pretty happy.
 
[quote name='metaphysicalstyles']I'm surprised "make it rain" hasn't been mentioned yet. Looks like CAG is thankfully free of douchebaggery.

EDIT: Nevermind :whistle2:#[/QUOTE]

I always bring the douchebaggery!
 
Outside of the obvious stuff, paying off debt, helping out family members etc, I would take a slew of performance cars (Lambo Aventador, TT Superleggera, 458 Italia, Saleen S7, Aerial Atom, ZR1 and several more) along with a bunch of friends and go on a trip around the world hitting all the famous race tracks. Maybe invest a little with the investment group that is attempting to build a replica of the Ring outside of Vegas.

The vast majority of the winnings would be invested and I would basically spend or live off the income generated without touching the majority of the principle balance. Every $20 million could generate around $50k per month in income through a variety of relatively low risk, fixed income investments.

I would re-create this scene!
I would even pay for the science to create 3 half-human, half-duck nephews so I could take them with me on adventures around the world.

We might solve a mystery! Or re-write HISTORY!!
 
Step 1: Make sure to dump enough of it into savings that I can live on the interest for the rest of my life.

Step 2: Pay off my family and friend's debts, set up housing, yadda yadda.

Step 3: To mess with our terrible corporate folk, start paying my former co-workers to quit on the spot, in an attempt to force the store to close due to lack of staff.

Step 4: Go frickin' crazy during the next Desert Bus. ;)
 
Take care of my family and friends and people don't like or don't like me bills
pay off my bills for 20 years
Buy houses in 5-10 parts of the world and state
Buy a 250" 3D tv from Sony
buy some businesses
Make 2 homeless people fight for 5$ just kiding but I would make being homeless a thing in the pass
 
Can't say there's anything I would buy that wouldn't feel wasteful for me.

Wouldn't mind having a nice vacation home near the ocean or a big lake. But other than that, just the normal stuff. Debt. Family. Savings. Etc.
 
I would post a three minute gap on CAG where anybody who sent me a name and address via PM would receive the $60 game of their choosing.

Then donate to some charities, buy a house and car, and Scrooge McDuck around the world till the day I die.

Much the same. I doubt I'd even quit my job as I generally love it and would feel useless if I wasn't doing something productive. Plus, being an academic its easy to travel in the summers anyway since I never teach summer courses and just work on research--and a lot of that I can do from anywhere.

Only debt I have is some student loans, so I'd pay those off. I'd buy a place instead of renting I guess. But nothing big or fancy. Maybe just buy the small condo I'm renting now from my ex who moved out of the country.

Otherwise I'd just save/invest, travel a lot, maybe go to more concerts/sporting events etc. But I have no need for a mansion, sports car, expensive clothes/jewelery etc. Would definitely donate a lot every year as well.

donate a shit ton to western bloc nations that are getting screwed over by Medeved/Putin
donate another shit ton to various dog rescue groups

if nobody wins it for another two drawings, it's entirely possible that this could go to a billion.
 
If I won the first thing I would probably do would be piss/crap my pants from the sheer amazingness of what just happened. After that I would get my folks whatever they want anytime they want it and then I would go on vacation, hello Amsterdam and the caribbean. I would also probably start opening up a few companies, probably a carpentry construction company.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']Pay off my student loans and pay for next year in cash, all $1 bills.[/QUOTE]

Makes me want to do a Ted DiBiase and pay for everything with 100s. Even gum.
 
While I do tend to have good luck I don't think I'd win this, but if I did....

1. Buy a house
2. Buy the ultimate engagement ring
3. Pay off student loans
4. Buy Batmobile
5. Put in seed money so my woman could open a salon/spa
6. Spend this Summer traveling the world
 
Everyone's first 3 steps should be: hire a legal advisor, a financial advisor and an accountant.

Then all you have to do is not turn into Charlie Sheen.

Exactly first thing I'd do then I'd let my financial advisor and accountant know "i'm going to blow 5 million on frivolous things within the first year" thats only if I would win the full amount. I'd just got on a 5 million dollar spending spree. First thing I would do upon receipt of the money would be to fly to europe and get 10 high priced suits fitted so I could look good while I was spending.
I'd buy two houses but nothing extravagent. Something in smaller towns in the 300k range. One where I live now and one in a nicer climate so I don't have to deal with snow and ice.
Take care of my immediate family. I would pay off what they owe and give them an allowance of so much. I don't trust them to do right with a large sum. Probably just stick all their stuff in my name and let the accountant take care of it.
Of course quit my job and open up a charity that would get 50 million over a ten year period from myself and that would be my job. Probably fund a scholarship also.
I'd do a giveaway on here and let the first 100 registered at least a month ago to respond pick the $60 game of their choosing.
I don't drive so I'd hire one of my best friends to be my personal driver/go for.
I also plan to buy a Tim Burton batmobile.
Renew my vows and pay for Hulk Hogan and Lou Ferrigno to be in my wedding and as soon as I said I do they rip their tuxes open and hulk out.

This would only be if I won the whole thing by myself. I'd change a few things if some other people won also.
 
If I win I will be absolutely floored and will be seen dancing in the streets for 24 hours straight. Mainly because I will have won without having bought a ticket.

Japan for me :)
 
[quote name='starmask2k3']Japan for me :)[/QUOTE]

That suddenly gave me the idea of buying CAG and becoming the new CheapyD and living in Japan just like he did.


Hmmmmm, wonder what his selling price would be...
 
Some states do require the winner to be publicized so people know it's not a scam.

I'd create my dream videogames, I WON'T buy any million dollar house or fancy car or more than 1 for myself.
 
If I win I will buy a limo and drive to the nearest homeless shelter. Once there I will burn money in front of everyone and dump soup down the drain.

I knew this, but when I read it all I could think is that if I won, somone would see me driving down the highway and cause and accident to get at my money. :cry:
 
My list from earlier was actually a bit off. Here's step #1:

1.Pay the fuckin' government their UNfair share of tax money back out of the winnings and then try in vain to prevent them from stealing anymore each year thereafter.:roll::bomb:
 
Donate it all...to political Super PACs lobbying for major corporations. As big of a nuclear meltdown you can get without the radioactivity.

In seriousness, I'd lawyer up, place it into a blind trust and keep as much of it on the down low as humanly possible. Live the rest of my life in comfort and off the income of investments. Give back to the community and goodwill causes because fuck that is an ungodly amount of money to try to spend on myself.
 
1. Give 15 mil to Tim Schafer for psychonauts 2.
2. Get a pre-nup before i get married.
3. Build an apartment complex.
4. Buy a saints row dildo bat and beat up my bosses, bribe cops so no jail time.
5. Find a good bank with high interest rate so i would deposit just enough to live off the interest
6. Then keep the rest in a swiss bank account, Mitt Romney style.
7. Quit my job and spend my time creating games, seeing the world.

Watch just one episode of Million Dollar Listing (New York is recommended) and say that again.
