What would you do if you won the lottery?

[Flame]

This is proof mods can be mature. Yo mama would be proud.

But in the process before I do that I will crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Of course.

Well, if you have enough money you can pretty much do whatever floats your boat. Especially if your boat is a battleship.

I hope to mama reads this. I’ll PM her.

I would use my winnings to pay all the people who keep emailing me.

First there is this Nigerian Prince who has fallen on hard times and all he wants is my bank details

Then there is this other guy from America who has died and somehow the FBI have contacted my again wanting my bank details. The FBI agent said I need to pay £1000 and then they will send my 12 million US dollars in return

And then there is also this guy who says he has installed something on my computer and has recorded me watching porn and if I don't pay him he will send it to all my family. I have to pay him in bit coin

Also I have had about 27 deliveries fail to come to my address and I need to give UPS money to get them.

Then there is my antivirus software subscription which apparently is coming to an end soon and again they just need my bank details.

Oh and then there is my broadband subscription who is with a totally different company than what I remember being with and apparently my latest payment to them failed. Take a guess what details they want.

And that's just a few of the many a day emails I get from people in desperate need of money.

buy a house and a catboy

Catboys sound like a lot of fun but it’s like owning a cat but they randomly do stuff like eat all of your edibles and stack up DMCA notices on your network. They also need a lot of stimulation, like a Switch, Steam Deck, Gaming PC and regular walkies in the woods.

liquor and whores

Give it away to the poor and needy,

I'm kind.

Honestly, I would buy a dog right away, I really dream about it, but I still can't decide

First, I'd cry about the government taking more than half of it.

Then I'd pay off the rest of what's left on my house, buy new vehicles for everyone in my nuclear family, and throw the rest in savings.

What is your goal?

First, I'd cry about the government taking more than half of it.

In Canada, lottery winnings are not taxed. You get to keep everything, even if you just won $50 millions (so about $30 millions US ). I think the reasoning behind this, is that if the government was to tax the winnings, it would cut the lottery tickets sales so drastically that it would cost them more than what they lose not taxing the winnings. Anyway, as for me, lottery tickets are just dreams for sale. You get to dream until the draw, then buy another ticket to keep dreaming. My friend's father, who was dying of cancer and had great difficulties walking in the last months he lived, was still going to the store to buy lottery tickets. It's probably an addiction at some point.

You need to win the lottery to buy a dog? Why don't you get one without winning the lottery?

 

[CharlesDeGaulle]

Buy GBATEMP and finally get my stupid memes to be validated.

Pretty sure he meant 'naughty dogs', there surely is something to salvage.


For me the question is: If I win the lottery, what game studio would I buy ?

- Petroglyph so C&C lives on (retake the license from EA of course)
- also buy EA, so I have a new STRIKE game after 25 years
- Xemu devs so I finally have a working steam deck port of rallisport challenge 2 (lagging music is heresy)
- Put a south korean CEO to every AAA project, so they 'put a girl in skin tight suit in it and make it fun and straight'

A man can dream.

I won't give my response unless people want me to say it, but seeing this thread really shows what type of person you are lol

 

[Jayro]

Secure housing and retirement, pay off my parents house so they can both retire relaxed, and do the Mr.Beast thing of randomly funding people's kickstarters for projects I want to see become reality. Also pay off random people's GoFundMe pages. Mostly the medical and family member died ones.

 

[MaskedRed]

First bathe in the bills,then buy a cheap house, and finally become a couch potato

 

[zxr750j]

Write my resignation, buy another car (or two), maybe a small boat and relax...

 

[subcon959]

I would stop worrying about the future.
