So You Just Won the Lottery...

1st: Do no tell ANYONE you won

2nd. Move to Hawaii and tell everyone I got a new job

3rd. Live life like a king away from the god damned in laws
 
Where I would end up is a nice two story home, large kitchen, front and back patio, enough bedroooms and bathrooms so I don't share with my kids, with maybe a 1/2 acres that is fenced (room for a 2nd garage for my toys) at the end of some sleepy suburban street that my kids and grand kids (one day) can play in without worry.

Then spend all my time eatng big breakfasts, playing around, traveling and visiting family.

I'd move to one of those little polygamist towns on the Utah/Arizona border and start knocking up wives. Then I'd try and take over power from whatever nut job has it now, so I could get my pick of the wives. After that, I'd buy Jazzfanz from Jason and change the name to Jazzfanz Island, where I'd kick one person off the Island every week.

You never hooked up with a Piney while you were over there?
 
Like PKM said, try to keep it anonymous is step one.

Buy more ground, more equipment, farm more. Retirement sounds boring anyways.

Give money to the church, other charities, try to help people out as much as possible.

Buy more guns, a jeep for the summer, nice fishing boat, lake house. That kinda stuff.
 
I would do a lot of investing. Just stuff I'm interested in like vacation rentals and small businesses. I would also leave a huge portion to be untouched and invested for my posterity, and as a backup if I mess it up with all of the awesome investing I will do.

Off the top of my head businesses I would buy:
Custom woodworking shop
Excavation equipment
Custom home building
Whitewater equipment supply importer
Classic car makers and sales
Small farm/orchard or dairy

Then I would buy a bunch of rental units and have someone manage them, hopefully make a little but of money on these every month.

Winning the lottery Iw going to be so awesome.
 
I would just do fun **** all day erry day

Scuba dive, jet ski, snowboard, surf, fish, **** hot babez, smoke pot, etc
 
I don't care if it's financially a dumb move due to current tax law, I would take a 20 year annuity if I won the lottery (or take the money as a lump sum and than annuitize it). For even a "paltry" $20 million prize that's a million dollars a year (which I guess comes to $600k after taxes assuming a marginal rate of 40%) for the next 20 years. The security is worth it alone. If you go crazy one year you still have some years where you didn't blow your whole wad.

I agree with you.
I would decline the lump sum as well

Because you're going to buy your way onto the Bachelor TV show? Finding your soulmate seems like something you would want to do before hitting the lottery, no?

Well I do believe the chances of you finding 1 is greater if you have more 'time' and 'money' on your hand. Of course you're not going to disclose to them that you're a millionaire but you would have free time during the week to meet up people, taking them out and getting to know them. Not to mention meeting people from other countries? I would be able to travel to Europe, across Asia or even America to find that person. You know as well as I do how many people are there in China alone - I only need to find 1.


The problem I have right now is I work 6 days a week (except when I'm on holiday), and I don't get to travel a lot overseas. That's quite restrictive in terms of finding a special person who might not live where I do.

That would be quite risky to me, given the world's insane current monetary policy. In the best of times, you would still have to pay extra for an inflation protected annuity or just take that inflation hit every year while waiting for the money to be doled out.

I'd take the lump, buy what I wanted in the present, and then just buy a bunch of land/real estate with the rest that I don't care about really to hold onto. That would keep you disciplined enough probably because that stuff is oftentimes not very liquid.

Well One Love, I think your problem is you are looking too far. She's probably closer than you think. So instead of pooping on the idea of local girls, I suggest you should nourish it. Go to a group of them tonight and say, "Hey, I don't think it's not that I don't like the idea of you birds. I see how kind, how warm, how loving, how beautiful you all are. I love all those qualities. Because only an idiot would not love those qualities. I just feel like I have so much to offer and you don't even see it. Now which one of you wants first shot at the new me? " See....One love, I think you're broken. Broken in the department of seeing what's right in front of your face. You need to suck it up and realize you're the damned luckiest man in New Zealand. Stop spinning your globe around looking for Ms. Yeti, get off the phone right now, open the door of your soul, walk out and let the real you shine.

Well you ain't gonna find Gold in the Ocean is what I'm saying. You've got to look where Gold is found. NZ girls just aren't my cup of tea unfortunately....

Every single girl I have ever seen from new zealand looks exactly like that. Literally the exact same. Except the Asian ones. They are asian versions of these girls.

Fixed

I really don't understand overly picky single guys. Sure, be VERY selective about who you ask to marry you, but you're really being dumber than **** if you're overly picky about girls you'll spend a little time with. Opting for loneliness vs companionship with a woman who doesn't fit your idea of female perfection.
