Great_Gig Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Just a bit of sillyness really, but last Friday a winner in the UK scooped 56 million in the EuroMillions Lottery, which puts them straight into the UK rich list of the top 1,000 richest people in the UK and it is also the largest single lottery win recorded in this country.......

My_Inner_Fred Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) 1. I would obviously stop work 2. buy/build and manage luxury suites around the world to keep my "Rich" status 3. Donate 25% of it to charity immediately (before I change my mind...) 4. Go see different parts of the world 5. Build lots and LOTS of High End computers (Half would be for folding!) 6. I would give my good friends quite a big sum of money 7. Live in a nice big house Edited February 16, 2010 by My_Inner_Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 First thing I would do is disappear Then I would run OCC from some fancy penthouse in New York while I throw snowballs at Clay down below Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Go to college and then get a job I like doing. Buy an average sized house with a big yard. Fill my house with nice but not too fancy things. Buy a nice truck, a sports car, and a Ducati or two for myself. Get my girl a nice safe car for her to crash, I mean drive. Build two nice gaming computers. Share my money with my parents. Never tell the kids I will have some day how rich we are so they turn out to be decent people. Give the kids the plenty of money when it is their turn to start a family.

LoArmistead Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Well, after the government gets its 50%, leaving me with $44 million, I might buy a nice luxury car like an Audi S8, and invest the rest in securities and real estate. I'd continue to work, and other than my toy car, I would pretend the money didn't exist. I'd let it grow over the years, put enough into a trust to leave my descendants with a comfortable living into perpetuity, put some more into a perpetual trust to fund a couple of academic scholarships, donate money to my alma maters and get a building or two named after me. Upon my death, I'll leave $1 million to the Civil War Preservation Trust, $5 million to the NRA, leave a bunch more to various and sundry charities, and leave any real estate business to my family should they want it. Otherwise, I'd sell it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kash Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Go to college and then get a job I like doing.Buy an average sized house with a big yard. Fill my house with nice but not too fancy things.

Never tell the kids I will have some day how rich we are so they turn out to be decent people. Give the kids the plenty of money when it is their turn to start a family. This is close to what I would do. I wouldn't go and waste it by buying up houses all over the world, nor would I buy a fleet of supercars (that's how you go from rich one moment to dirt poor the next). I'd get myself a nice apartment in either New York or perhaps San Diego, one nice car, nothing too fancy, something under $100,00. I'd spend some money on creature comforts like a nice bed, nice furniture (I need a big comfy couch), and of course, a nice home theater setup. I'd give some to my parents, but that's it. My friends and siblings can suck it I'd invest a large chunk of it and live comfortably off the dividends/interest payments. Oh, and I'd still finish law school but I wouldn't worry about finding a job or passing the bar exam after graduation. I love to travel, so I would definitely travel a lot. This is where I would splurge a bit and fly first class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Probably use most of it to help other people less fortunate in the world and leave a little bit left for myself to live comfortably. Winning the lottery isn't as great as most people believe most people who win the lottery usually spend it all in a short amount of time and end up with a life much worse before they won it.
