What if you win the lotto? Post your plans here!

The new BMW's only stand out in the 7 series I think - no wonder most Russian ministers/high ranked ministry workers drive it

Thinking of a car, I suddenly remembered my old time favourite 9FF - sick Porsche modifications. On the other hand, the fact that the car is so bare to accomodate the insane speeds would leave less space for the physically gifted females...

Difficult choice...

This post might get edited by mods, but i'll continue anyway on the off-chance that its ok, no explicit language, but certain aspects of the post may reference sex or drugs, or maybe fast cars

Firstly on discovering i have the winning ticket i would sit down and get a cup of coffee, then when the money is in the bank and all that the first thing i would buy is a house, and a house for my family.
did i mention my house would be in amsterdam?

then i would get plastic surgery, get all the fat sucked out and have everything restructured so friends dont know me anymore and cant come grabbing and begging after money.

Then i would look into getting a car, not any of those rediculously cramped sportscars, but a nice and roomy evo 8, modded to the max for fun driving, for everyday driving it would have to be a BMW 1 series, with all the mod cons.

i'd turn into a spliffhead by day frequenting amsterdams finest cafe's, and by night i would have a different amsterdam h00ker for every night of the week.

then after all that i'd get a good financial advisor to tell me how i can live off all that moolah for the rest of my life without ever having to work again or being skint.

oh and i'd make my own :banana::banana::banana::banana:os.

basically i'd have the good life

Find the two columns that will asure you to always have two right, whether column 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 will be drawn

Here's the eight columns that can be drawn

12121212
11221122
11112222

Hint: It's not two special ones, the two just have a special relation.

I hope you all win, and still manage to develop as a human being

And here are the solution to the Combinatoric "Game" (for the few of you bothering)
They simply have to be opposite
12
12
12
or
12
12
21 and so on.

There will always be two right out of the three, so the idea is to use as few columns out of the given, meaning the column you chose, has to cover as much as possible without interferring with the other columns.

Nah....my community is richer than I am. LOTS richer, 50 Cent lives down the road from me (only person most of you would know--let's just say I live in a very nice town in CT ). My HS had the largest HS endowment in the world (up near 650Mil) and UMich is, well, 40000 students strong and oodles rich.

As for actually donating it out of my community--maybe, but I'd feel better if I spent it on stuff I truly enjoy. I know donating is the 'right' thing to do, but heck, I also dig supporting the consumer economy in every way I can.

Maybe I'd set up my expenditures the way my mentor does--for every dollar he spends he donates a dollar.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of luxuries, especially travel and would spend most of it on such (note: my expenditures assume that I won Powerball as that's all that we have in CT that's worth playing).

Hello neighbor. I live in Cheshire. Avon, Greenwich, Farmington, and Cheshire are all ridiculously nice. If you're ever in Cheshire take a drive up tamarack off wallingford road and prepare to have your mind blown

BTW I have 5 tickets for 300mill powerball tonight

Ack...the people from Avon make me mad (well, the people from Simsbury that shop in Avon at least) but it's a nice town though. Cheshire, Greenwich and New Canaan are also up there--Old Greenwich being the richest town in the nation.

I'll be sure to check out Tamarack when I'm back in the state...50's house is blocked by construction right now (damn pool is TAKING FOREVER, it was supposed to be done for his summer party) and the houses, errrr....mansions, in Brocklesby on Deercliffe Rd. in Avon (fun road to drive in the winter ) are getting old.

CT towns are the greatest for house sighting out of every where I've been, such classical designs and just freaking huge stuff in general. I haven't been in CT during the fall in forever--it must be SOOO nice there right now, I'm jealous.

Anyway, good luck with your PB mate....I can't play even when it is that high but I endorse it 100%!....maybe if I could get it more easily here in MI I would, but I really haven't even looked for a place to get lotto tickets.

I shall make a diamond waterblock.

I shall make a diamond waterblock.

I don't think I'd live life any different, but now when I lie to people on the internet, I wouldn't be lying so badly.

[Stuperman]

the standard gaming/crunching/benching rigs, A nice home, cars, many cars (Lotec C1000, Isdera Commendatore 112i, Dauer 962 LeMans, LE1 Ground Fighter, Mega Monte Carlo, Stealth B6, CLK GTR, a dozen or so modified porches, and one I can't think of right now, 3.5L TT V12 with 700+HP). and a few not so nice cars that I could drive off cliffs or something. school, uh, pay off parents house...hire someone to convince people someone else won the lottery.

What, no hockey tickets??

[computerpro3]

340mill tonight

[Vapor]

I guess that means you didn't win last time around

[trakslacker]

I'd invest most of it in index funds and live largely off the cap. gains.

As far as comp stuff goes, I'd build an uber rig, and then go buy a whole bunch of 8-way Opteron 875 servers, and load every last one up with as many D2OL clients as possible.

[perry_78]

340mil... I would go buy a ticket

First thing - get that Lambo. Second thing - Get Jenna and some friends. Third thing - buy a truck load of czech beer and invite some friends over for a fun time.

Then of course spend the money wisely, live off the rents from the bank investment.

edit. Now that I think of it, Danish Design Center as a house, and the HQ for denmark of the Church of Scientology, best "church" ever built in denmark

[Spragoo]

What, no hockey tickets??

I need more money to be able to buy a team don't I? Then I can live off people buying hockey tickets from me!

I figure I should have myself covered for about 5 years going into franchise ownership, because I really don't know how much an owner makes in a given year, and given the fact that this year the salary cap is $50 mil, doubling next year, and the year after that. Plus all the other expenses. Besides I already have season tickets
