What would YOU do IF YOU won the lotto?

[livnxxxl]

I am not sure if this has ever been addressed here at the Museum or not so I hope that I am not reinventing the wheel here. I am just curious to know what you would do IF....

Would you tell your boss (if you have one) to go take a hike or similar...?

Would you go on a insane mad Mego buying spree?

Would you actually build a real brick and mortar Mego Museum? (Now that would be cool although I still like the web version much better still)

What would YOU do for a Klon Dike Bar????????

first thing I'd do is buy a house,buy a bad ace car and open up my own gym

then travel for a bit and buy toys

No question, I would quit work on the spot. Pay off the debts, invest enough to live comfortably, build a totally nice and cool, but sustainable "green" house off the grid with a nice chunk of land. Build a sweet hobby room/workshop (modest toyroom included). Learn to cook great food for my friends, learn to properly build cabinets and bookshelves. Flip a couple of investment houses, to keep me busy. And further pursue the Non-profit work I already do in Ethiopia.

It's been a dream of mine for years and will be a reality if I ever do win a large sum of money. It takes planning and at least two days without the occupants returning, but it goes a little something like this:
Kick in the door, throw a cinder block through the back slider, or forcibly break in to a house in some clear manner that will let them know upon return that they have been violated. Take their TV, surround sound, stereo, DVD player etc... It could be expanded to kitchen appliances as well, all depending on the time frame.
Replace EVERYTHING you removed with high-end equipment. Maybe even rifle through a drawer or two if you like, just so they know they've been robbed, but don't actually take anything.

Would a cop believe the homeowners story? Would their friends and family even believe them?

I'd finish paying off my house...and have my backyard professionally renovated to perfection.

I'd give my Mustang to my nephew, and get myself Chip Foose and let him restomod a Boss Mustang 429.

I then of course would try to outbid Rudy on anything Mego-related on eBay.

Since I live right next to the Pacific Ocean, I'd get me a little boat...and take rides into the Bay...an under the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Farallon Islands.

I'd travel all over the world.

Take care of my immediate family.

...and lastly...get a liposuction tummy tuck.

if it was under 10 million I would put at least 5 mill in the bank and misc. investing etc. Take the other 5 and get myself a nice home pay off my parents home and my sister's home. get a few other nice items but nothing over the top.


If it were a large one like a Power Ball 100 million+ I would do the same with the first 10 to 15 million, but then with the rest I would give a lot away ... but in a smart way. Help build some homeless shelters start some grants keep the local foodbanks stocked etc. I wouldn't just had the cash out of a hat to strangers on the street etc.

I'd buy that for a $1

...ALL OF THE ABOVE AND THEN SOME...............Good luck everyone!!!

I would stop working at my day job but would not tell anyone to shove it. I like my company and boss a lot and just wouldn't do anything to put them in a pickle but would work on an exit plan.

I would spend more time volunteering in areas I enjoy.

I would spend more time traveling to parts of the U.S. that I have never seen before and countries around the world.

Finally, I would spend a lot of time pursuing hobbies and interests that I have but have never had the time to pursue such as learning how to play the piano, taking some art classes to better refine a natural talent of mine, and professional cooking classes.

I'd move to New Zealand.
And have my own personal tattooist

Where would I send my name to qualify for this?

If I won the Lottery I'd self-destruct in about 6 months on too much wine, woman, and song...

But in the meantime I'd spend my days going up to people and saying " %$@# You -- I'm a %$@#ing Millionaire!"

Yeah, I'd be a total D1ck...
