If you won a $200mil lottery, what would you do with it?

[Jimmy Durante]

I'd buy $200 million worth of double necked guitars.

[Ironfang]

Hehe, the large casinos of the world would have a new whale to try and land with all the comps they can imagine.

Yes, family and friends would be rich also.

Don't forget, for the US powerball type lotteries, you "only" get around 35-40% of that number in cash guys. The lottery pays out over 40 years, so if you take the lump sum cash payment (which you should always do) you only get $80ish million. After taxes, you are stuck with a measly $60 million or so.

Very hard to have to deal with that kind of money. Hmmm, let me try it out and see if I like it....

probably a house and some other shit too

[leah]

i would build myself a house, probably in colorado, and furnish/decorate it exactly how i want, with no input from anyone else. my house would be my solace. i would also build a house somewheres in nebraska, cuz lord knows i'll never get away from here fully.

i would buy myself a dream car... though i'm not sure what that is, yet.

i would build alex a studio/house and then give him a couple million dollars so he could spend the rest of his life recording/producing/celebrating/whateverelseing music.

i would pay off all my mom's debts, build her a new house complete with a separate building that would serve as an art studio and buy her her dream vehicle, and then give her a couple million dollars so she could spend the rest of her life creating art that makes her happy.

i would pay off all my dad's debts, build him a place with a darkroom for his photography and a computer lab with the best digital photography capabilities, then set him up with enough money so that he could just travel around and take pictures of wildlife and produce art.

i would pay off the debts of my closest friends, and i'm sure a bunch of us would probly live together. each of my closest friends would get a million bux in an account that, like people have already said, couldn't be touched without my permission for special things. the friends are where it gets tricky... how to deal with them wanting more than i'd give them and all that rot. people are selfish.

i would give a lot of money to my church, fix up my old grade school, give mr. and mrs. wolske and mr. and mrs. warneke (four of my favorite grade school teachers) comfortable retirements, give each family of my extended family a couple million bux, and then open a business of some sort for myself--either doing interior design at a low price, or graphic design for an ad agency.

i like the NT meet-n-greet idea... i definitely would either go visit or bring to me a few NT people for sure (you know who you are). plus i'd probly send all y'all some money, or at least all the regulars.

and oh, would i ever travel.

i dunno, there's lots of other stuff i'd do... but it's hard to really imagine what it'd be like, especially since the chances of it happening are slim to none.

Aaw, how sweet!

[WoWShaman]

I would take care of my family, All members of it. I would take care of the people I work with. I'd take my room mate with me and basically then travel to Japan and other countries I'd love to see.. China etc. Before taking martial arts etc to build my body and self confidence.

Then i'd go out batman style motherfuckers~

[Diekan]

who's alex?

[Ciladan]

Alex = Brinstar = Like most of the other areas in Super Metroid, Brinstar is a subterranean area. It has been portrayed in several different ways between the Metroid games, but most thoroughly in Super Metroid, in which it was composed of two partitions. The first one the player encounters resembles a jungle. The second features rock surroundings and looks more like a cave. The jungle area is green, while the cave area is red.

It should be noted that there is no absolute concrete barrier between the two areas. The best indicator is probably the change in BGM that occurs when the player enters the cave area, or the change in soil colour to a deep red as opposed to the pale pink rock which is still considered jungle Brinstar.

[Ciladan]

So to answer your question Alex is a jungle cave in a super nintendo game.

[Diekan]

ahhh that explains it - thanks.

thats cute. would you buy ralf the 64 cadi drop dop a pimp of his status deserves? Hydraulics and daytons of course too?

[Drem]

too much to really plan with. aside from visiting/meeting some people from NT in hastings and calgary, i'd probably either 1) move to new york or manchester or 2) continue living my normal life in school with the financial freedom to do whatever i wanted
