Winning the Lottery

**njdesi** · 19-02-2006, 10:58 AM

Since no one has won the last three weeks, the prize money for the Pennsylvania/Delaware lottery has increased to $365 million. I don't usually play the lottery, but bought $5 worth of tickets just for fun. In ten minutes, I'll find out that I just wasted $5. But if I were to win, I honestly would have no idea what I would do with such a ridiculously large amount of cash. How would you spend $365 million?

365 million..................that's a million a day for a year!!

If I gave 10K to each girl and had 5 a day I'd still have 950,000 a day to spend on beer and hamburgers.
fark.what a year that would be!!!

Man after me own heart; money's for spendin' I ever make it big Poolie we're goin on binge. 'Course we'll have to bring a few of the others along for the ride. What's it cost to rent Soi cowboy (and all it's wimmin) for a week? A month?

I'd buy 365 million lottery tickets.....Why not, if I won once I might win again.

There's a Euro lottery over here which sometimes has prizes in the 10s of millions range. Everyone goes a bit silly. I can't really understand why. I know it's a cliche, but money doesn't and can not buy happiness. With a sum as large as that money would cease to have any value and would become irrelevant. Luxuries would become the mundane. You would be forced to evaluate your life at a spiritual level and what you find may well have you reaching for the silk noose.

^ thanks for that post danbo

I feel much better now

**in4zip** · 20-02-2006, 07:04 AM

apparently some fortunate soul in Nebraska bought the winning ticket
so.. back to the grind it is for the majority of you poor smucks here!

The silk noose will have to wait

If money was no object, I am not sure what type of work I would choose. Being a professional travel writer would be fun, but I would probably get in trouble with the PC crowd with sub headings like, "Restaurants Your Rented Teerak will enjoy", "Negotiating with Negotiatable Ladies on Sukhumvit at 2am," etc.

I would buy a place on a tropical island that never had a temperature below 15 and never above 30. Build me a Balinese mansion and live out my days in heaven.

**in4zip** · 20-02-2006, 10:50 AM

^ i thought i already did that here in th LoS save for say temperatures betwix 25 to 35C. The tropical island? Nah, did Samui for a year or so and the place was booooring, very very boooring.
Gimme Bangers 4eva!

If I won the lottery, people would call me a cnut. I haven't even bought a ticket.

**Marmite the Dog** · 20-02-2006, 01:05 PM

I would probably give most of it away to family & friends.

**DJ Pat** · 20-02-2006, 09:16 PM

There was that guy a few years ago who wished he hadn't won the lottery becuaes he couldn't stop drinking vodka red bulls and had already been warned by the doctors to stop immedietely.

Wonder what became of him.

**dirtydog** · 20-02-2006, 09:30 PM

probably drinks high end top of the shelf stuff now

Jumped off a balcony in Pattaya, perhaps?

I'm sure people call you that already Doc... Why would money make any difference?

**hillbilly** · 21-02-2006, 05:34 PM

I asked my wife the same question about winning a big 'lotterly'.

Her first response was as expected. "Give some to my mom".

I then asked where would you like to trave to?

Her response "Maybe Chiang Mai"...

**dirtydog** · 21-02-2006, 06:47 PM

I don't think winning 365 million dollars would change my life much, well apart from eating at nice places, buying a few luxury sports cars, and few massive great big mansions with servants and all that marlarkey, but apart from that it wouldn't change my life in anyway, did I mention the luxury holidays? also I would buy an 8 person jacuzzi and invite loads of gals round for the evening, fok, I wish I could win the lottery

well it could. instead of looking like thge bloke on the right, you could get a bit of lipo & look more like the bloke on the left/.

**Ice Maiden** · 22-02-2006, 09:02 AM

I know what I would do. I'd buy as much ice cream as I could and scoff it all until I got very overweight then I'd have plastic surgery and do it all over again!

**danbo** · 23-02-2006, 03:16 AM

^I can go for that. Although I'd probably follow the gorge-then-vomit route, that way you can re-freeze it and serve it to guests.

No one's mentioned giving any to charity - No one's even lied about giving some to charity.....

An alternative way to the win the lottery:

More than £25m in cash has been stolen from a depot in Kent after its security manager and his family were kidnapped by armed robbers posing as police.

What makes me think they won't be giving any to charity either

Looks like they found a way to win the lottery without buying a ticket...

**William** · 24-02-2006, 04:50 AM

Actually, now you mention it, could you imagine winning the lotto's $100 millions only to find you had put the ticket through the spin-cycle and destroyed it?

Certainly that would be my fate
