If I win the lotto.....
Pay off bills et al...boring.
I'd end up buying me some real estate for development purposes. Prolly start a business or two.
Buy me a few houses to either upgrade into, fix up and sell or fix up and rent.
Go on a 6 month bender around the world.
Buy Modestoworld aka Spurs Report. But that should only take a couple of hundred. Ban Modesto and close it just to spite them.

My wife and I would quit our jobs and pay off our bills first of all. Buy a nice home and a new vehicle each. After that, I honestly don't know what I would do with the money. Do I really want to get our families involved? There might be the question as to which families deserve more than the other. Then there is the amount to give! I don't know if I would consider giving friends. There would be some hard decisions to be made. Right now I probably wouldn't tell anyone about our winings. Money seems to change people, so who knows what would happen.
You think that would stop them from coming back with their hand out when it's gone? Interesting theory.4. Hook up all my friends and family with a large ammount. Say if I won like $100 million. Giving all my friends and family a cool million each, even after taxes, isnt going to hurt me much with that kind of money. Im talking close friends and family, not people I just "know". I can think of barely 20 people that would fit that description. Takes care of the mooching and right off the bat. Plus, Im just that type of guy. I always help out my friends and family when I can.
I'd make it VERY clear that my will designated my estate to go to the charity of my choice, and then set up annual gifts to everyone at the income tax threshhold, $13,000 this year. That covers birthdays, weddings, Christmas, all of it. They know what to expect, and they also know that knocking you off gets them NOTHING.
People will come out of the wood work and pick your carcass (and fortune) clean if you let them. That's why athletes are usually broke like 2 years after their career ends. Be firm. Give what you want to give. If they call you an asshole for not setting them up with all they want, they weren't that important anyway.
Hmm...
1. Pay off my debt and all of my mom's/dad's debt.
2. Pay off my mom's house and car
3. Buy myself a nice 4 bedroom house
4. Buy a brand new, fuel efficient car/SUV.
5. Put my lady through her schooling
6. Buy 20 pounds of the best weed I can find
7. Buyout Matt Bonner's contract
Win the lottery, and see if YOU don't.
That's a good theory if everyone is picking numbers, but most winners are quick picks because most people are too damn lazy to fill out a slip and pick numbers.
I'd honestly probably become Brando like and be having 500 hamburgers a month flown to my private island. Its probably a good thing I never win it. Even when I have just a little time off I just sit around doing nothing and get out of shape tbh.
One things for sure I wouldn't give it away to friends and family. They could come live with me on the island in the guest houses. Then if they complaining about , they'd get deported.
I'd have a coy pond, a big screen Plasma, I mean like 90 inch, with a huge satellite dish. Go fishing. And one of those shipmeents of whatever medicines my body would need to keep from falling apart. I'd definitely considered growing weed on the island. Which would be awesome because I gave up weed a few years ago because of the expense and of having to deal with the dealers. A whole lot of extravagant nothing in other words.
Change it all in for quarters and fill a pool with it.
I'd send a few certain family members to rehab and blow the rest on booze for myself.
I don't think I've ever even seen a pond that was slyly hesitant or coquettish.
Must be expensive.
It'll hit him one day.
Would you have a money bin built to put your money in it? I know the idea comes from Duck Tales but if you have millions of dollars, you can do anything with it.
I bought lottery tickets today..
I lost
Hahaha, I just googled it. "Coy" pond, what a dumbass I am. Man was I high on Vicodin when I rambled that post in. Quick tip: if you ever get pain killers from your doctor, always grind them into powder and drink them in a shot of vodka.
I would buy Spurstalk
Then give Slomo a 1$ raise and ban all the Laker trolls, but keep KBP for entertainment purpose.
I will also build my own Iron Man armor, buy a Porsche 911 and all Mercedes available
Oh, and also 24/7
I'd change the world, one bullet at a time. Loathe be the day I am filthy rich.
This has been one of my favorite games over the past year or so. Money has been tight and I play the lotto more when that happens. Here's what I would do:
1. Gastric bypass surgery. At a cool 405 pounds, I need it. I wouldn't waste anytime with this one. It would be the first thing I do. I would hire a personal chef to cook all my meals and I would make sure that everything was his idea, not mine. Turn all my willpower over to him. Personal trainer to keep me in shape as well.
2. Build a house. I want a home-theatre with state-of-the-art equipment. HDTV, Blu Ray, Home theatre system, comfortable recliners that seat 8. I want an indoor gym with workout equipment, a pool, and a basketball court. I was a private study and I want the house to be secure. No more than 2 million spent here. I still don't know where I would want to build it, however.
3. My Mom would get 20 million or so (10 after taxes, I guess). My brother would get 10 (5 after taxes). This is after I get them each a house where they want to live.
4. I'd make 1 million dollar donations to three seperate charities that I've had personal contact with.
5. There's a friend that I would take care of all of that person's needs, no matter what they were. There's another that I would send through college. I would finish college myself.
6. The rest I would invest and save. I would hire someone to make those financial decisions for me that would build a sustainable portfolio.
that. Like I said, my immediate ex-communicated from one half of the family. Nobody's gettin' .
No offense or anything, don't take it the wrong way, but how exactly did you reach 405 pounds?..
You're really 405 Darrin? Damn I never pictured you as a fat guy.
EPIC!!!
Stop putting ideas in my head!
I've been a heavy child all my life. I love to eat, especially sugar. I love pasta dishes and I like to eat a lot at one time. Every emotional experience was celebrated or comforted with food. I was making headway, having been up to 350 (at my heaviest) when I was 21 (I'm 26 now), I lost forty pounds and was able to do more with my body at that point than I had ever been able to do. Little things like how far a threw a ball, how easily I bent over without any discomfort, the speed of my walk, the desire to work-out versus eating, my endurance in playing basketball--all highs--at the age of 23.
Right after my 24th birthday I became destructive. I began eating as I had before. I had gotten to the point that I didn't need food to be happy. Now, for the first time in my life, I was trying to kill myself with food. Since that six-month hiatus into junk food and sitting around all day, I haven't been able to stop the old habits.
This past year was some of the best times I have had. I went from very low to very high in about 11 months. In that 12th month...I tanked. Dealing with Depression and Bipolar most of my adult life, I became very setimentary. I stopped walking through my neighborhood. I stopped going out of my apartment. I ate and ate and ate. It was the only thing that made me happy. So I gained 50 pounds in the last 12 months. I'm trying to lose it now but it's very difficult. I got serious around 387 and haven't been able to tip the scales in the right direction since then.
I've given you a history and a reason for eating, but I can't tell you how someone gets that heavy in detail. I can detail what a usual experience with food is like, but I can't give you the plan to get that heavy. A portion to me is twice the size of the normal person and I was overeating for me this past year. That's all I can say.
That's me 35 pounds ago. I've been heavy my whole life. It's why I never played basketball past sixth grade.
