If you won the Big Lottery.

[bitburn]

Has anybody ever thought about it if you won the lottery, what it would be spent on. I'm talking over a 100 million.

I know myself, I would be sure to spend millions of it on some Arcade Museum. I would try to get every machine known to man in restored condition behind ropes and glass. I would have all the wings and halls by company and time period. I would have 5 large arcade halls with the less minty or exact replica machines represented by time periods. EM Era, SilverAge Era, Golden Age Era, Late 80's Early 90's Era.

The other millions I would spend on buying land, building a quaint house near the museum for my family. Probably would need a powerplant built for the museum. Then I would keep enough money to retire on, and spend the rest on businesses, like starting a pinball company, green energy business, healthy fast food franchise etc.

Boy hitting the lottery would be nice. If I hit the lottery, the very first thing I would do is buy a Burgertime. Then, I would buy a house, pay off my bills, as well as my family's bills, and make sure they had a little spending cash; and probably donate some to some charity's throughout the US. I couldn't see myself hording 100 million dollars and not sharing.

I would buy a topless bar for my derelict brother to run (and visit often), pay off my parents house, pay off my own house, complete my game collection, buy a 1973 volkswagon thing, new titties for my wife, scratch that, I would buy a new younger wife and buy new titties for her
I would also use my millions to finance all of the artwork reproduction projects requested by my fellow KLOV members.

LOL, you mean if she left you enough after the divorce settlement

Lotto here in Fla last night was 250 mil, havent heard if anyone hit yet

I don't play the lottery unless it's at least a quarter of a billion. I would live the life of a mid 80's rock star. Tommy Lee would be on VH1 talking about me. He would say I had to pull myntik to the side and say if you go on this European tour you're not coming back. Check yourself into rehab and get some help.

I'd find a larger plot of land in the town we live in and build a house with a huge BASEMENT with all the acutramounts(sp?)! This damn heat is oppresive in Texas and I need a place to hide from it (I know its worse in other parts of the state). The lack of storage space built into these homes is stupid too. Like the others, pay the bills off and would probably hook up my brother and step sister too. I guess I'd need a pool too. I think my wife would rather hang outside in the pool while I'd be hiding in the basement in the theatre or in the game room!

why only $100 million?? - actually atm. theres $188+ millions to 1 lucky player at the Itallian lotto... you only have to hit all 6 numbers from 1 to 90...., and nobody has been able to do this sience new year...

 

[javeryh]

I'd probably buy a bigger house and another at the beach somewhere. Other than that, not too much. I'd probably help my family out. I'd quit my job and start a business or something to keep me busy until the kids went to college and then I'd travel a lot.

 

[shardian]

We'd disappear to a beautiful oceanfront locale, and none of our worthless family would ever see/hear from us again. Well...we'd fly out my mother-in-law occasionally, and buy her a nice house. She's pretty cool. She's a hardcore pacman player...but she isn't too good at it.

 

[airlair]

I try not to think about it so I'm not disappointed twice a week when I don't have the correct numbers.

Someone in South Carolina hit the $245 million Powerball last night.

I'd help out my family and set myself up nicely, of course. I'd also buy run-down properties in Indy and donate the land to some organization like Habitat for Humanity so they could build a house there rather than having them build on new, undeveloped land...maybe start a night club too, or something like a Dave & Buster's.

The first thing I would do is change my name.

 

[RedWolfJC]

The first thing I would do is change my name.

Yup, I second that.
Although, the first thing I would probably do is hire a trusted attorney, and then change my name...
The only thing that people at work would know is that one day I just stopped showing up...

 

[Killert6969]

I would buy 5 of the hottest chics in the world with the largest tits and put them on leashes. Whenever I would leave the house, I would walk them like the animals they are (of course this would be after my new wife divorces me). Besides that, buy more property, separate game building, finance a record release for my new band, finance a record release for my band from the 90's and finance a world tour for one or both bands!

Really? You know you could just afford to move somewhere that has nice weather right?

 

[josie]

I'd travel the world... ski every ski slope (multiple times) and buy all the Varkons out there...

Realistically I'd build a nice house on the land in MT, and lead a quiet life... and yes, I would still find a Varkon...

 

[NotreCaine]

I would finally have the money to buy those (4) expensive pins, that I've had my eyes on!

Yeah but the wife and I really like it here. I just bitch about the heat because I'm a San Francisco area native and I don't do well in humidity... Other then that its great here. People are really nice, schools are great, living conditions are good...

I used to live on the peninsula (Foster City, Redwood Shores, Belmont) and damn I miss those nice and cool mornings that top out at a 75 degree day.

 

[CanesFan]

I would probably find a way to spend it all. I would give some of it to my parents, in-laws, etc... Then I would buy a few houses, one on the coast, one in Colorado ski country, and one in Maui, each complete with their own arcade. I would probably buy a few airplanes and boats. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it would be all gone after a while.
