10 things I would buy right now if I'd won 110 million in the Euro lottery last night

[sybaritical]

Off the top of my head:

1) A house made of concrete of wood that's got a nice view and is miles away from fucking ANYBODY.

2) A nice painting to go inside the house.

3) An apartment and a studio space packed with all the materials I would need to create whatever I wanted to, somewhere cool and easy. (Probably Berlin I guess. Maybe Copenhagen. Not NYC.)

4) A nice coat. I've been looking for one ages and I can't find one I like yet.

5) Another pair of handmade sunglasses.

6) A small and impossibly well designed and furnished yoga studio. With a

treatment room.

7) The most perfectly beaten up and worn in chesterfield sofa I could find.

8) A classic Vespa that works.

9) A lot of plane tickets. A LOT of plane tickets.

10) 3 rounds in a boxing ring or the opportunity to waterboard Posh

spice/Cheryl Cole/ Any of those American tabloid brats until I'm satisfied.

Yeahhhhh.

a giant awesome castle in scotland, preferably haunted

[sawn-off chef]

you forgot aldens and red wings denim bro.

[ProfMonnitoff]

For realz though

- After initial spending wave, invest everything else, budget 1-2 mil a year

- Balla apartment in Manhattan, sick ass furniture, etc

- Same for Vienna

- Also a vacation home in some nice place, maybe France or something

- Quattroporte in New York

- Quattroporte in Vienna

- Tailored suits and shirts (might just start wearing suits)

- Handmade shoes

- Nice fashion jawns

- Great meals all the time

- First class flights (a Gulfstream costs some 15-20 million, that's like 2000 intercontinental first class flights)

really i think in terms of money thats all I would spend shit on

[gramps]

I'd have Daniel Libeskind killed and Rem Koolhaas take on all his projects.

you guys know you don't get the payout all at once right? You get it in monthly/bimontly/yearly installments over a long period of time. It's bs. Everytime someone who isn't already rich win the jackpot, they almost always go for the smaller "in-full" payment right away, often arranged by private companies that do this sort of thing. So they get much less than they actually won and these companies make a killing in the long-term. People almost always blow their load (shitttt must not fap) on stupid shit immediately too and often go back to being poor as shit after a couple of years. There was this whole big episode on "This American Life" about it. Made me tres tres sad.

Anyway, if I got 110 mil Es in the bank in one lump sum, the following would happen:

1. Apply to grad school right away, not having to worry about fin. aid or having to work beforehand to help pay for it.

2. Get a nice condo in a brownstone in the Back Bay.

3. Fill it with Eames and Jacobsen.

4. QPorte.

5. Pay off my parents' loans

6. Pay for my sister's edumacation

7. Put 10 mil in 100 different MMF accounts (fed. insurance.. fail safe, reset button if everything else goes to shit)

8. Invest 50 mil in long-term bluechips (stocks are cheap, thanks recession)

9. Donate 2 mil a year to HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. 1 mil to rainforest protection.

10. Have one massive hedonistic night on the town where I would be swimming in champagne and models (hey, you've got to celebrate. you just won 110 mil eurozzz)

[AstroWolf]

I would go buy 110 Million more lotto tickets and own the hell out of the next round worth even more money. Why, cause im fucking stupid like that and like to let it ride.

These kinda questions and ideas make me sad more than happy. Your chances of winning or losing a lotto like this are more or less 99.9% the same if you buy 10000 tickets or NONE!

[Leonard Leroy]

I want a nice place in NYC. I'll think about the rest later. But that's probably all I'll be able to afford.

[cman]

realtalk, the powerball is 109 million bucks tonight. i bought a few tickets on friday after work. i couldn't even think of ten specific things i'd buy, i know the first thing would be a sick car. probably an aston martin or something ridiculous like that. i'd move to either king of prussia or NYC, and probably buy a place in california just for the hell of it.

[cman]

they're a dollar apiece. don't buy power play, that shit is for scrubs.

[Leonard Leroy]

[barcelona]

-a new laptop (srsly #1 first thing i would buy)

-apt in montreal

-a car. range rover? i dont know though...

of course i would buy other rediculous things but i would just want to have a good time in life without working a shitty job.

[redgrail]

youz a stunna now. fuk skool

realtalk:

I want to do shit in life that has nothing to do with how much $$$ I've got in da bank.

EDIT: OH SHIIIIII... that was post 1,000! I think that means I've officially signed my life over to sufu...

[cman]

after they draw the powerball numbers they draw the power play number, it's a number from 1-5. if you win a prize that isn't the jackpot (like, you match 3 and win a grand or something) and you buy power play (it's an extra dollar) your prize gets multiplied by the power play number.

so, you match 3 with no power play: you get a grand

match 3 with power play and the power play # is 4: you get 4 grand
