If I won the lottery....

[dpricenator]

I would open a very nice/exclusive Cigar lounge/club in Newport Beach. This would be a hobby for me and a reason to herf everyday. Of course a house nearby. Plenty of tax fee bonds to help with some income. Pay off my debt, but that wouldn't take much. A vaction spot in Costa Rica. Oh yeah and I won't forget the promise I made last year to you guys, a box of something nice and a huge BOTL herf, expenses paid if you can get the time off work. (yeah that was a run on sentence). Anyway, basically I would not worry about much for the rest of my life.

I would start a service business
I would buy a couple of Subway franchises
I would buy a new house outside of town
I would pay off all my family's debt

Kids can buy their own lottery ticket (just kidding would set up a nice trust)

Vacation house in Costa Rica

.50 cal Barrett

Bigger basement with a wine/cigar celler

1. Pay off all immediate families debt including in laws
2. Set aside enough money for my daughter for school and then some
3. Pay someone else to fix my current house and give it to my parents
4. Pay someone besides me to build a house
5. Get another Harley or 4
6. Get a Vette ZR1
7. Get a Caddy CTS V the new one

9. Get a Chevy Kodiak and put a truck bed on it cause I can
10. Take a nap
11. Put all my construction tools in a hole and throw in some C4

Up until recently the "pot" in a sort of lottery over here where ye pick several numbers reached almost $30'000,000 USD...Made me think seriously on buying me first lotto ticket. for about $1 USD. Of course ye have 100 times more chances of winning the lottery, and ye have 4 timesmore chances of being ran over and killed while going to buy the lotto ticket than winning it; so 400 against 1 didn't sound too good.

I'd do all the things in post #1, plus I'd buy a box of whatever sticks you want for all my BOTLs.

Then I'd start a great non-profit or two to give it all away, all but a little bit...

Which I'd use to start my own cigar company!

 

[mgiddeons]

I tell you what I wouldn't do........Smoke Cheap ASS Cigars!!!!

 

[CWS]

Retire...and buy you all a very, very nice box of cigars then hold the ultimate herf.

 

[bohizzle]

Get out of debt, buy a house, Give the girl of my dreams a wedding of her dreams!!! Then I would Bomb the S&*T out of everyone on the board!!!

 

[architeuthis]

If Squid® won the lottery? I'd buy 50 acres in Arkansas, four mean-ass dogs, an exclusive wardrobe of overalls and open me a junkyard! <G>

 

[cvm4]

1.Pay of all my Debt and my wifes debt
2.Invest
3.Go to the Bunny Ranch in Vegas
4.Go back to the Bunny Ranch
5.Buy a helicoptor

[Klusterbuck]

Tell my boss exactly what I think of him.
Make unreasonable demands at my job..... then come and go as I please there...

Pay off debt.
Take care of immediate family's debt.
Trust funds for the kids.
Buy some land.
Buy some more land.
Build the ultimate man cave with walk-in humidor.
Go on some hunting trips.

 

[bballbaby]

besides all the obvious things...

i'd start a local version of Extreme Homemakeover. i'd call it a Housing Initiative. There's so many people in my town that deserve that kind of treatment

I'd start a scholarship fund for high school students in honor of my dad. It would be the Gary Shaffer "Attitude is Everything" scholarship. It would pay for an entire college education. The winner would have to be nominated by teachers and would have to be unable to afford college, face distressing home situations, yet maintain positive attitudes and be good people.

OK, now I feel like a selfish POS.....

 

[BagfullofPings]

Actually I might just never leave at all!

The ranches are overly expensive. Well reviewed high end independents are the way to go. More bang for the buck.

A buddy of mine knows about these types of things...:innocent:

 

[alfbacca]

After seeing this thread last night, I thought about it over lunch and came up with this:

1. Pay off my credit cards and student loans
2. Buy a house
3. Buy a house for my mom
4. Plan a destination wedding in Italy for me and my girl; all expenses taken care of for family and friends
5. Renovate my house in El Salvador so my mom can travel back and forth between here and there when she pleases.
6. Open a restaurant in El Salvador for my mom
7. Open a bakery or start a non profit
8. Invest in real estate
9. Buy kick ass tickets to all the games I want to watch at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa
