buy a Harley XR1200 or Night rod special
buy a 7-11
swap the new 5.0 into the bullitt

save the rest for a house

 

Depends on the amount, but if its really big, I'd do a lump sum and invest a good portion of it. A good chunk would go to building something like this;



Yeah damnit, I want a folly and not one built on some frigg'n hill either, I want it on just enough dry land to surround it with a wall and a nice barbican with a drawbridge.

Well maybe with enough extra space for a trebuchet would be nice as well.

Mainly so I could do this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs

 

 

was wondering when someone would pick up on that and point it out.

 

I have most everything I want.
20 years worth of payments would allow me to retire today.
No income tax, but there is a 10% lottery tax.
.
I would probably hire a pretty young maid .

^what no Raptor?

 

Lump sum.

Quit my job.

Go back to school.

Pay off my family's and in-law's debts.

Buy a 2nd home near my in-law's in Florida.

Add on to my current home.

Buy lots of guns and ammunition, spend more time shooting... actively compete in USPSA.

Buy a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander... yeah, I'm easy to please.

Edit: oh yeah, and travel too. I'd love to go see Europe... but I'd do it on my dime and not run up a bill for US taxpayers.

 

I like it John

 

I thought that was implied? What else would I use to run over the Camaros with?


I'd definitely get a 6.2L Raptor perhaps the 4 door to haul some friends around

 

You win the lotto and you're gonna need a Raptor limo to haul all your friends around.

 

I've never played the lotto but if I did and hit the jackpot, i'd payoff the house and hunt down a lemans blue Ford GT.

 

so true. Thats why I'd do everything in my power keep it on the down low. No news interviews and if I could help it I wouldn't want my name released as the winner either..

 

That's part of the deal on most of them. When you accept the money, they have the right to use your name, image, likeness, etc. in tv commercials and other media outlets to promote the lottery.

 

Yeah, people say that money can't buy happiness. Now being broke usually makes you sad, but buying lots of expensive things doesn't make you happy either. I think money can buy happiness, but you've got to buy the right things. I don't need a $600,00 car or even a $60,000 car. I'd rather spend money living life rather than live life spending money.

 

Not a problem. Just have them take a picture of you as "another of Stig's (American) cousins". Some say he...

 

why only one maid?
