How big a lottery?

$10Mil?

I would purchase my father's farm and buildings (since that would force my eldest brother to bank the money for dad's nursing care) and let dad and his nurse live there until he's gone.bigsmile
$300k
Buy out 80 acres of land next to the land that my great grandparents settled, when they moved to Oregon.drinker
$220k
Purchase 2 remote locations in Alaska, complete with deserted cabins, frontage on lakes, etc.:banana:
$432K
Purchase a Phillipine shack and acreage.smokin
$12k
Go back to college, for a liberal arts degree, and write a few dozen novels, and get those published.tongue2
$33k
Invest in Canada, Venezuela, Peru, and other nations receptive to "Invisible Backer" funding of small businesses and tax-deductible community improvement projects.:angel:
$1-5M
Hire a team of tax lawyers to do nothing besides fight the government for the remainder of the winnings; paid only if they succeed.devil devil devil

Depends on how much I won. If it was in the millions, first I'd hire a lawyer & an accountant and set up a trust for most of it so the eternal revenue service wouldn't be able to keep chipping away at my winnings every year. Change my phone # to an unlisted one.
Then I'd take what I didn't put into the trust and buy a house up north, pay off hospital bills, set up trust funds for my nieces & nephews, give $10,000 each to my family members, and then foot the bill for a great vacation somewhere exotic for friends & family.
After that, I'd probably use the interest from the trust to go back to school & start my own business.

Knowing the luck that I have, I'd go in to cardiac arrest and die before I could will it to anyone and then the money would end up going back to the state! sad

I wouldn't tell anyone that I won anything, cept my very close family. Move to Europe somewhere away from republicans and bible thumpers. :banana:


but then you have to be in a land full of a different brand of bible thumper,

Isn't bathing optional in France?

After a while the taxation and socialism might wear into you!

I really wouldn't mind socialism. It isnt that damn evil. And when I was in Germany and Holland, by no means was anyone EVER in my face about religion.

Plus, this is my fantasy damnit!pitchfork winking

Spend a month OUT of country and get my head clear...

Then I would see exactly how much I actually won and if I could get a house that is my primary objective and bury the rest of it! Next step is to try and REALLY get rich with it......
I mean god awful rich.........



I would drive the same car and wear the same clothing and about the only differences to be visible would be if someone visited me. By that time, I would already know they were a friend, because they would have already earned my trust.

Good luck with that if it's like here you have to agree to pictures and publicity of the your winnings in the pamphlets of the Lottery Company and the Papers. So everyone one you know and ever knew sees or hears about it.


And don't forget the endless number of family members that pop up out of the woodwork that you never knew existed once they find out about your hard earned instant wealth... laugh

That is truly inspirational. And considerate, not only of the troops but of all their extended families and their communities.
