Actually I would likely invest most of it, I have a similar attitude to Bruce: I can't see the point in just filling my life up with a whole lot of useless crap I never really wanted to begin with.

I would definitely indulge my passion for art collecting though ....I would find the temptation far too hard to resist.

So with that said, I would buy a RS4, maybe travel for a little bit, and just pay rent for my current house. Continue school, and hopefully graduate and become a teacher. Oh and I would give at least 10mil to my parents, for all they have done for me, and then 5mil to each of my brothers.
Ahh excellent points Jeff .....I hate taxes .....so I would immediately move to a tax haven.

What a nice brother you are too

Re: If You Won The Lottery

What would you do?

- I would live my life - go study and get a job...

Where would you go?

- I would definitely travel to New York and London.

What would you buy?

- Mercedes E 420 CDI
- some new suits
- Breitling Navitimer
- a new battery for my Nokia 6210

Also, would you take the lump sum, or the annuity? Invest it, spend it, or save it?

- I would save the rest of the money and invest a small proportion in stocks. I would never invest/buy a real estate - as its name implies, it's immobile!

Good point. I'd consider the annuity depending on the payment amount.

I'd also give a large sum of money to my father as he most certainly deserves it!

I know what you mean! I'd have to pick up some of my favourite pieces of art. Furthermore, I'd have to fulfill my passion for bass guitars!

Re: If You Won The Lottery

What would you do?

Humm... that means I would have enough "screw you" money to quit my job, so that first, open that treasured bottle of Louis 1990 and toast to the occasion.

Where would you go?

I would go shopping EVERYWHERE!

What would you buy?

shoes, dresses and cars to match my shoes and dresses

I would (also) love a house onthe beach to park these beauties...

On a more serious note: I would fly in my best childhood friend, and we would go to see a rock concert front row, like we said we would as kids



Lump sum!!!! and I would give it NSL.. he'll manage it well

Re: If You Won The Lottery

Lol, the never ending discussion

What would you do?
Call my friends, make a thread on GCZ to get some help on making a Car shopping list.

Where would you go?
Italy, Dubai, Croatia, Australia, everywhere!

What would you buy?
My dream house, with a track as large as the budget allows in the back yard. And a huge garage, of course.
And Zondas is every colour and interior combinations I can imagine
Oh, and a shitload of clothes!

Re: If You Won The Lottery

What would you do?
I'd take it easy for a few years, seeing the world and experiencing new things.
Naturally, I'd also make sure my parents, grandparents and sisters would have everything they need or desire.

Where would you go?
Quite a few places...

What would you buy?
I am a collector by nature, so I'd start my own collection.... of cars, unsurprisingly. Not all the latest supercars or such, but a number of older cars that I've always liked.
