1. where's the first place you'd go (international vacation or something of the sort)? 2. what's the first thing you would buy (after all loans, debts, pimps, and loan sharks have been paid off)? 3. what crazy adventure you would you have that you couldn't before due to financial reasons? 4. who would you pick to tag along on your trip? for me it'd probably be: 1. Australia or Caribbean 2. probably a nice whip 3. either crazy road trip to literally all 50 states or non-stop travel trip to all countries i'm interested in going to 4. probably MadV cause he gives good bj's for the road |

I wouldn't change much of what I do. 1. I don't like travelling. I'd finish college and go back home. 2. I'd buy a nice rifle and go shooting. 3. I'd "rough it" and see how long I could last out in the wild. 4. Whoever wants to go. |

1. Space, JK. I'd go to Orlando, Denver, DC, LA, Vegas, Ohio and Texas. 2. I'd buy a modest house in both Massachusetts and California, then I'd buy a gymnastics gym and turn it into a parkour gym. 3.That trip would be #1 (in no particular order) to visit a bunch of great freeerunners in the US. 4. Anyone really, especially anyone who wants to play. And if that wasn't enough, I'd get a place in Fiji too. There are better questions though, mainly for Lotto purposes, like what would you do with the money for investing? How big of a loan would you get right after winning? Etc etc. I think those tell more about a person. |

I hadn't really thought of it that way... |

Germany without a doubt. A big ass fucking house and a warehouse for my bros and I to chill in. I would go all over the place, a trip through Europe, Euroasia, Asia, all over the place. Probably my whole group of friends, cause we'd have one hell of a time (: maybe some of you niggers on here too. |

If you win the lotto, or any significant amount of money, you don't just get it on the spot. It takes a while to get it all to you. If I won, I'd choose lump sum of the money. I'd get a 250-500k loan and pay off all my debt and make my life a little easier. Then once the money comes, pay off that loan, and start investing/saving. It could take months to get the cash you won. |

I would honestly have no idea in what to invest in so i would probably buy a shitton of house after getting my real estate license like amish suggested |

It could take months to get the cash you won. You really have to look at it differently. It's not always best to take the lump sum... You get more money over a longer period of time, but if you take the lump sum, you can invest it... You have to figure out what % interest you could get with that amount of money (lump sum) compared with how much you could earn if you got a larger amount and invested a small amount each year. Interest rates are shitty right now so it might be a good idea to take the yearly payout (depending how many years it lasts for and how much more money it is)... Edited Wed Mar 02 2011, 07:39PM |

Interest rates are shitty right now so it might be a good idea to take the yearly payout (depending how many years it lasts for and how much more money it is)... I'd take the lumpsum 100% of the time. It's free money. Also, if it's over $4million, where interest is now, you can live well off on the interest collected alone. Right now if you got a low 1% (doubtful if you won the lotto) you'd make a return on 40k ontop of the job you are working. Put that in perspective, that's almost what I make a year, and is what I make a year after taxes. Now you'd probably be able to land a 2% interest rate or up (depending on the investment, these are just simple savings account interest, which you'd never put $4mill in) is $80K. That's a lot more than I make in a year, and most people these days... I'd also put some money away and have the interest off that for a college fund for my future children. Also probably put some away and let the interest go to my parents. And I'd probably make an account with interest run off for family members if they ever needed a loan to start their own business/adopt etc. But If they weren't my mom dad or sister, they wouldn't see shit if they asked.
