Let’s say you just discovered that you had won $10,000,000 (that’s ten million bucks for the numerically impaired).
What would you do with $10 Million?
Save?
Spend?
What would you do?
We Scour the Web, so You Don't Have To!
We Scour the Web, so You Don't Have To!
Pay off the house and build it big enough to fit us all. Landscape the garden and go to the US to fund the Big Arse BBQ!
YAAAAAAAAAY Bitsy!!! Throw another herd of cattle on the barbie!
I would definitely buy a lot of these foreclosed homes and sell them for a huge profit a few years later.
invest some more and take all B&P people to a private island for the BBQ and maybe one or two of those expensive call girls like the government people get
Infi, get me one with smaller boobs, please!
I would pay off a friend’s house, buy a small jet (Cessna Mustang), build us a house, and donate most of the rest to charity and church.
I would take the advice of the theme song from the “Beverly Hillbillies”
Jed, move away from there!
buy the small holdings I have always dreamt of. Buy or paid off my kids houses for them, put some into trust funds for my nieces and nephew, buy my dad a bungalow. Give some to homeless and animal charities and save some for my old age, (which is not to far off now)and if I had any left going around the world
Travel the world with friends of mine
I’m in Michigan near Detroit. There are so many unemployed union auto workers, so many foreclosures. The public schools are a joke. I could help so many people.
Just kidding. My ass will be out of this corrupted crap hole the same day I collect my winning on my SOCATA TBM 850 turboprop.
I’d take care of my parents so they wouldn’t have to work anymore. That would be my main thing.
Then, I’d buy myself a Bentley Continental GT
I’d figure out the rest from there
I’d move to Alabama and buy a new double-wide…right next door to infi.
Not let anyone know
Buy a nice penthouse in a suburban area
Travel around the world
Invest the rest
1. Improve life for kidlets in our small rural community
a) skate park
b) swimming pool
c) library/study center with computer access
d) clothes, shoes, books, food and other necessities
2. Improve life for elder citizens of community
a) Meals On Wheels, delivered
b) improvements to homes
c) on-call transportation
d) community center
e) Life Alert for all
3. Improve life for the community
a) sidewalks
b) bike lane on busy highway
c) Slow-The-$#@!-Down signs on busy highway
d) upgrade equipment used by First Responders
e) buy local bank, gleefully terminate employment of all bank officers; promote from within
I’d spend a million or two to pay off a nice house and a couple of cars, and then annuitize the remainder to live on after that.
I would invest most of it in the many business possibilities I see around me and I would buy myself a nice yacht.
I would go to Vegas and double it
a vacation is in order, I’ve been working two jobs for a long time, maybe take a cruise and just lay in the sun and read a book. then come back and start helpin my friends. and animals I like them better than people anyway, they aren’t judgemental.
Get even.
I’ve already paid cash for 2 nice houses, a Ford E350 extended van and a brand-new $65K Lincoln so his time I’d buy a nice log cabin with LOTS of acreage up in the mountains, buy an amphibious airplane and learn how to fly it so I can land on my own lake up there, invest the rest (again) and live even MORE comfy off the interest.
(How’s THAT for a run-on sentence?)
Please don’t let me win this until Wednesday. Cause I finalize my divorce on Tuesday. It’d be a damn shame to have to give half of it to her 2 days before the divorce is finalized. Damn shame. LMAO!
I’d go to the best plastic surgeon in the world and have everything pumped up to HOT!!! I’d go to Vegas and all the hotspots of the world, spoil myself rotten and eat what I want. If I gained too much weight, I’d get them to suck that out and tighten it up again. I’d drink the finest beer on the planet and hang with the most entertaining people ever.
The next week I would be back at home, checking on the puppies, weeding the garden and mowing the lawn. I would help out every one of my friends in a different way as they have different needs. We would drink the finest beer on the planet and have a great laugh.
I would buy anyone that p!ssed me off a one way ticket to Tuktoyaktuk.
I feel so much better since I vented.
Show me the money!!!
10 mil doesn’t go as far as it used to
Mega Yaght.
Bella – With 10 mil, you don’t need plastic surgery, and you are already hanging with the most entertaining people in the world! So buy everyone a beer and chill out at the bigass BBQ.
Randomly knock on doors, throw a thousand or so in and say “I jest won the lotry” in my most redneck, racist, douchebag accent. (Thrills are pretty cheap down south). Reminds me of the guy that called his wife and said, “Pack up, I just hit the lottery!”. She asked “Where are we going dear?” and he said “I don’t care where you go, just get out of my house!” I think the services were held a few days later…
I was being a little bit vain there, Richard. The heats getting to me. You’re right of course. There’s a pretty wonderful crew here. (can I just get a new set of knockers though?)
New knockers? I didn’t know you Canadians used English terms. Isn’t that what you use to let folks know you’re at the door?
Revy, we still celebrate the Queens birthday (stat. holiday) and she’s still apparently our Monarch. I don’t know, I just said it. We do have doorbells though. LOL.
The Queen! I’ll drink to that!
I get those mixed up…I never know whether to rip off an English girls knockers or knickers.
The sad truth about this subject is that the majority of people who win big jackpots wnd up bankrupt within a few years. People just don’t know how to handle a sudden influx of large amounts of cash! I have a friend who won $125K playing bingo here in vegas. within a year he was bankrupt and homeless. Sometimes you’re better off never winning. If you do win, the first thing you need to do is get yourself a good lawyer and financial planner. If you don’t, it will be gone before you know it!
Right on, DJ. Let’s all drink to Freddy Mercury the Queen.
Bella – With the obvious exception of infi, there are plenty of men who like their women small chested, so just find one and forget the surgery.
Right on Richard!
Very true, Scott….but that means you have to find a good lawyer and a good financial planner.
(Although frankly, if I ever won something like that, my intent would be to put it in long term investments so I could only use the interest. Shoot, even savings account interest of 2-3% would yield $200-300K pretax. I’d pay everything off, pay insurance/utilities/taxes off the top and live on $30-40k a year. Face it, if you don’t have ANY bills, $30-40k is a lot of money to blow).
But, I did win the lottery of life with my wife and children.
Ok…she’s not looking over my shoulder anymore…yep…Kegger and a BAB (big ass bbq)!!!
Bella – I agree 100% with Richard’s last comment. We have cellphones and lifeguards and helicopters now; not every woman needs her own giant PFDs.
LOL @ Revy, it took me a second there. Good one! LOL. Guys…I don’t want big, big, ‘uns coz I’m a small person. Just rock hard rockets. LOL…no I don’t!!! Forget it, I’m going to have one of the finest beers on the planet and give up on the hooters. (Ok, what about a butt lift?)(facetransplant?)(or, brain reviltalization?)
fire my boss, go to college get my dregee, buy a nice house, get a new car,
Move, and leave no forwarding address!
SPEND SPEND SPEND!!!!!!!!
buy a house, buy parents a house, buy everyone a car…buy all kinds of land and properties…travel travel travel….!!!!!
Of course, I’d pay off my debt and invest the majority of the funds, but I wouldn’t tell anyone that I had won because then every beggar,thief and pain in the ass relative would crawl out of the woodwork and from under rocks. I would however anonymously send money orders to my friends on a monthly basis varying the amounts and recipients so that they would not become dependent on the money but treat it as a little windfall of their own. I would also like to donate more to my favorite charities. Oh, and I’ve always wanted a cell phone that can take photos.
Set my kid up financially, buy a house & quit my job. Help seniors on social security.
Seriously though, though I would originally want to be noble and help all those around me, I’d have to spend just some of it to be comfortable, and then invest the rest wisely. Though it’s now what it used to be, it can be used to make sure generations will at least have a chance to be anything they want to be and that to me is more important than anything.
I’d get my muffler replaced.
pay the bills, sell the condo, get barrels of cash, join the underground economy. Basically, disappear. Deborah, want to join me? Plus, pay whatever it costs to help Infi’s one track mind.
Ten million? Anything I want! The real question is what would you do if you won $100,000. That’s when you really have to set your priorities.
Good point Miss C. With 10 Million the sky’s the limit, but with 100K you do have to pick and choose.
i’d move out from my parent’s house the very day i’d get the money and into a decent hotel until i would find a beautiful house in a gated subdivision to live in. i’d go on a vacation with a few close friends.. maybe to Madagascar or Amanpulo. get lots of beauty treatment, get a new wardrobe.. 🙂
@Bella, Tuktoyaktuk’s not a bad place if you don’t mind dated DEW radar stations and huskies (not forgetting pingos!). I flew there in 1985 and thoroughly enjoyed it! The return floatplane was delayed and when it did eventually show up, the Inuit hunters that had caused the delay had sent us several pounds of hand cured caribou jerky with the pilot. I have never tasted anything as good in my entire life!
I’d have to buy a thousand or so acres and spend the rest of my life building a different folly every year and installing my friends in them…
Buy a farm and set up an abused animal refuge and free petting farm for kids.
Paul thanks but I enjoy life everyday,dont worry about me
