If I win I'm going to get a new bed because I don't remember the last time I slept through the night. Really though I'd get something like this to live in:    I just like video games/movies and wrenching on my vehicles

This sounds good but lol I clear out a lot of places where some guy had the bright idea to combine his house with his mechanic's lair/woodworking garage and I guess all I can say is that we separate our living spaces and our garages for a reason. Grease and filth will seep into everything you own. All fabric will be just one large grease stain.

I would just get a small house that was really really nice if I won the powerball. I never understood why you would want to live in a mansion. Like, I'd have a small house built with three bedrooms tops, but made out of the absolute best materials possible and filled with amazingly good furniture, a beast gaming PC, great TV/computer monitor etc. I'd have Google Fiber and poo poo like that too. This probably wouldn't even cost me a few million. Honestly I'd probably end up giving away a ton of the money to charities and stuff. I wouldn't know what to do with it after buying everything that would make me happy using less than ten million.

I think a big part of it is people from going, "richest middle class person around," to, "poorest upper class person around," and feeling the need to buy bigger and bigger poo poo.

I'm currently running that powerball simulator (which doesn't have the right odds) and after 1800 years, I've won $31k and am only -$342k in the hole!

Invest in short term low risk investments, maybe start a business. Travel to cool places, buy a nice house. Just don't get into the trap of thinking you need to spend money like a celebrity.

MrSmokes posted:Probably That's usually what causes most of the 'Winning the Lottery ruined my life stories'. Some 25 year old wins 10 million on the lottery, takes a dump on their boss's desk, then parties like a rock star for several years until they end up in bankruptcy court. If you're willing to live somewhat modestly you can stretch out 10 Million dollars over 60 years as long as you're willing to keep down on the extravagant expenses. And by living modestly, I mean you have to barely get by on about $160K per year, that's if you're only living off the principle. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Jan 11, 2016 |

the best lotto winner ever was this goony bastard: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-04-03/news/bs-ae-bunky-lottery-20120402_1_lottery-winner-ellwood-bunky-bartlett-westminster quote:A Tarot card might have foretold that Ellwood "Bunky" Bartlett would win $32.6 million in the 2007 lottery. apparently sinking your jackpot into a wiccan book store and a record label and developing your own mmo are all inadvisable. behold the glory

I think another problem when you try to start a business or something with lottery winnings and the like, you have to deal with people being very confrontational with it because, "Well, YOU won the lottery, why are YOU charging ME so much for these goods and services?! YOU can afford to be cheaper!" or "That guy is putting legit, hardworking business owners out of work because he's got lottery winnings. He doesn't NEED to run a business to support himself!" Also: If I win, I will request to Donald Trump that he makes me his running mate as we'd both the be ultimate government outsiders: Rich guys with a lot of money and not beholden to anyone.

Instead of making a business for poors make a "Luxury Premium" business. Rich person EBay for example.
