...play the Mega Millions this Tuesday:laugh:

Actually its probably going to be about 360 MILLION if I had to guess because of the extra roll over the weekend and on Monday, damn! Just wanna drum up some good karma here in the CEG! Now, what would YOU do with money...

-pay off all the bills
-take care of my kids schooling and trust fund
-get my wife whatever she want

Then...

I'd get about 10 cars with a garage big enough to put them all in very comfortably with a game room/office above them. Here's the list:

-67' Corvette in Forest Green built by Chip Foose and to my dream specs (think a meshing of "old school" looks and "new school" tech:cool:

-62' Bel-Air "bubbletop" red and probably the only car I'd have in red too!

-70' Chevelle SS454 LS-6 in Forest Green w/ white stripes and white or green interior

-65' Riveria...metallic black!

-65' G.T.O. in that classic gold color

-65' Mustang GT350 white w/ blue stripes:drool:

-71' Hemi Cuda clone (I've gotta have one Mopar and I wanna drive and enjoy it too)

-07' ZO6 in that beautiful blue or the new orange

-06' EVO MR, metallic black

-07' Tahoe, tricked out for sure!


Wait, gotta have a couple things that you don't see everyday too:crazy:

-Ford RS200
-Cosworth Escort
-Renault Clio sport
 
-Pay off my parents house
-build my own house with a huge barn
-buy my dad a new RS4
-buy my mom an x5 or something of the sort
-buy the lady a supercharged landrover
-buy myself:
  • 2x black STI one for rally type duty and one for fun on the street
  • 1 mint cobra destined for a hellion kit
  • Brabus rocket for DD duty
  • new 996 turbo
  • probably many more
-invest quite heavily
 
i plan on spending 20$ on tickets, big deal such a small gamble , with such a huge payout. id probally get a ford gt, the 995, a f-350 dulie twin turbo diesel, a sti, evo mr, and a ducatti 999 and a mint 87 GN GNX . Along with a kick butt garage with in ground hoists and what not. build a nice house. god i could go on and on.
 
I think listing stuff is ridiculous, because at $340M, you can basically take one of each, or like 9 of each, it doesn't really matter. I know I would certanly gather up a nice collection.

Or, I would spend it all on a colossal travelling monkey troupe. And we would travel the world doing shows of monkey-based shenanigans, like dressing them up in people's clothing and putting on skits and stuff, and the surprise finale would be the monkeys flinging thier feces on an unsuspecting audience.

Either that, or I would get it all in $1's, and fill up a school gym with them, and just go swimming, and I'd take pictures of it to post here.

Actually, that scares the crap out of me. I couldn't handle getting to the bottom and being somewhere below 30 or 40 feet of paper. :shrug:

Didn't you ever watch DuckTales? It's got to be easier than swimming in gold and jewels. Though, I hear the papercuts are nasty.
 
I probably would try to pick up a veyron, if not that then a CCX... Pay for school, Pay off my mom's loans.

Well, Uncle Scrooge was a duck (lol obviously)...so I imagine he'd have an advantage over you.

Oh, it has nothing to do with being financially burdened. I mean, c'mon, it's just a dollar. Rather, it has to do with the statistical probability of winning it. I bet I have a better probability of walking outside today and a stranger giving me a sack of money than winning the lottery.

I can understand being caught up in the hype and buying a few tickets. However, when I see people buying a large amount of tickets, it's like throwing money in the garbage (Again, all my opinion).

You are absolutely right, the statistics say you are more likely to get hit by lightning three times in a row in the same place, but there is nothing wrong w/ dropping a couple bucks in the ring for some entertainment. besides most of the time its money somebody would be spending on an extra cheeseburger at McDonald's or something stupid like that anyway.
 
You're right you probably do. But if you play just one dollar, your chances have just gone up 100% over zero :-D. Sometimes its fun to play with the 'what ifs'

Don't you dare try to saddle me with your reality! This is my fantasy, and ain't no duck going to have any advantage over me! Except maybe GizmoDuck, he was pretty cool. And maybe Dewey, I think he was the smart one.
 
I should play...

I need to pay off my SVT
Regroup from the turbo purchase
Regroup from the new car purchase
Need to buy a brand new MXZ Renegade (snowmobile) and mod it
House with enormous garage / polebarn is given
I'd buy many many cars but one I'd really enjoy would be a 98 Single'd Supra

Retiring at the age of 21 sounds ever so sweet. Honestly I'd most likey spend this money very reckless but it'd be worth it.

I'm buying some tickets!!
