There's only one thing I can guarantee I'd do, anything after it is just speculation.

1. Take a shit and wipe my ass with $100 bills and laugh the entire time.

Why not take those benjamins and give it those veterans that need it.
Here in NYC if a homeless or in need veteran I see around and needs help I give him something, always have something for a hero that gave his best to protect this great country.

I'd deposit 100 grand in my checking account and leave the rest with a financial planner...

I'd leave Atlanta with my wife.... probably fly to Paris... and we'd talk for about a month over good food and wine....

Set an appointment with financial planner...

Start a philanthropy and get a daily tee time....

Family taken care of that's a given...

two reasons.

1. I'm rich. I just won the lotto!

2. I have little sympthy for vets who opt to be bums on the street.

and i'll take what I think yyz's position on this topic will be... I'll bet that people who win the big lotto's give to charity less than 10% of what they claim they would on message boards like this.

maybe, but if I give more than 10% now, why would it be any different if I became rich? :shrug:

Would split it between -real estate-charity and business venture (reality comedy)

Would take about 10 people from forum and buy house next door to them (real estate)

Turn each property into free housing for selected families or groups (charity)

Rent house across street and run live video feed to this site so we could all watch the forum members coping with new neighbors.

:cool:

no, not what % of your income you give now.

I'm saying... people say.. if i win 10 million, i am giving 2 million to charity.

and I'll bet that that "2 million" suddenly drops down to about 20k once people have that money in their hands.

Why all the giving money to charities? Keep your money for your family not charity, thats the way I roll. I give 100 bucks to local SPCA each year, isn't that philanthropic enough. Bums are bums for a reason, go to a shelter not beg from me:nono:

trip to Vegas would be first thing after cashing the ticket. 10 mil is not really that much money, suppose you won 100 million:SIB

1. Buy a house on a beach where I could walk out and anytime I wanted I could surf.

2. I would build a facility for kids to be able to come play basketball anytime they wanted. Use computers anytime they wanted. Get help with school work or just social things. (to me this isn't being charitable it's just something I love so it's the best of both worlds.

3. Buy my wife any jewelry she wants.

4. Buy the house from the guy that has one with a helicopter pad inside of Hells Gate on Possum Kingdom lake.

5. set my kids up with a trust fund they receive at 45 but not any earlier.

$10 mil....

Build a new home somewhere deep in the woods and rent my home out I currently live in....I'd be happy with a home from 495-750..not big on sprawls...comfort and entertainment would be my only needs, lakes and woods would be the setting so life is good there

Deposit $1mil in each of my 2 sisters accounts with stips of business ventures for atleast 100k of it

Deposit $1 mil in each of my 2 kids accounts

with the remaining $5 mil myself the old lady and kids would not have to do anything other then what we choose to, figure to keep $1mil cash off hand in the secret room that was built in the home...and the rest would be fuck off money....

put $2 mil into the banking system and live off the intrest.....

It would be the best/worse day ever, feel like I own the world and money to do what I want:nono: The death of me would be cashing that ticket I bet:box2:

Assuming 10 mil is after taxes:

1. Quit my job.
2. Never work again.
3. Conservative investments to keep up with inflation (don't need to be any richer, just don't want to lose money)
4. Budget myself to 200,000k per year for life.
5. Read, smoke, drink, debauch, love, smile until I keel over!
