Post What would you do if you won the lottery?
Title explains all.

Except, that I meant essentially unlimited funds. Stop guessing how much money I meant!

I would hoard it all and live a completely normal life, safe in the knowledge that I have total financial security.

Dude I would invest in vector processing and make the worlds most powerful computer and pay a team of people to hack windows 95 to run anything I wanted, and have it loaded onto it and just kick so much ass on online games.

Beastly computer, all my favorite games, and I'm happy. Oh yeah, and a maid, because I'm lazy like that.

I would hire Bruce Dickinson to scream in my ear every morning in replacement of my alarm clock.

Put all my cash in a high-interest bank account.

Create a life-sized pilotable Armored Core mech and proceed to destroy Japan.

Oh you clever bastard.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy myself a really nice helicopter ($300,000 range) and a good close location in which to store it. Rest would be for general life.

Well if i won one of the extremely high lotteries, i would get a computer, get a nice car, college, and a new house, but while trying to keep the fact that i'm extremely rich away from the knowledge of others, you know, cause i'm cool like that. (all of this would still not be close to a million spent, well maybe the house if i wanted to)

Depends on the amount of money.

If it's over 50 million dollars (after taxes), I'm going to build the most beastly computer I can make.

Then buy five of them and have them work as a single unit.

Then maybe buy a nice car, send some money to various people online who deserve it. Cough daniel tabar cough.

The house I live in is fine; but I'd probably pay off all the debts, and my parent's credit cards.

Then I'd live off the interest. Fifty million dollars in a high yield account equates to about 14 thousand dollars of income per day.

I'm going to stay sane as possible, help Data with buying the missle base, and buy the limited-time-subcription to the commercial builds and the final build.

If I won the lottery I'd start a national ad campaign to tell the public how boring you all are based on what you answered, and really just to mock you.

Money can't buy me happiness necessarily but it can buy me mean-spirited mockery which in turn provides happiness.

I'd wonder where the heck I got the lottery ticket, then most likely throw it away since I obviously didn't buy it and it's probably a set-up.

Assuming that I'd actually make such a stupid decision as to actually participate in the lottery (and have such dumb luck as to win it), I'd probably donate it all to high schools around Tucson or start up something similar to the Nobel prizes. And 10% goes to the church. I figure that I don't need, and shouldn't have, any more money than I can earn. At least once, I've given back a large sum of in-game currency to someone that was leaving and wanted to make a newbie happy. Unlike most people, I suppose that I don't see money as a wholly good thing. Of course, I've never had to deal much with actual money in real life, but I still doubt that I'll make money a terribly high priority in the future.


ok, fine, I'll cut all the hippy junk and say that I'd buy a big house, buy tons of video games and food, and probably never get any more sunlight for the rest of my life. Is it a bit more believable now?

Money totally can buy happiness.
