If you guys need money to make that happen, you need to up your skills. LOL

  1. Pay off my debts
  2. Pay off the ex’s house since my son lives there
  3. Put aside some for my son’s education
  4. Buy a decent house with some land (maybe even a small farm)
  5. Invest the rest in businesses and financial products so neither me nor my kids, grandkids, etc. have to work doing something they don’t want to do for a living.

EDIT: 6. And change my name legally to Mr. Mo Bitchez

i like the idea of a gym. a warehouse gym.

you can do that without winning the lottery.

in south africa it would cost you less than $21 to change your name.

I know this, but while you are still working for someone else, there is such a thing as reality and paying the bills that governs certain actions…

I would direct 25% towards myself in the form of a house, sweet home gym, affordable care, and perhaps a few extra perks as I live a rather simple life and wouldn’t see that changing even with winning the lottery. Another 25% to my parents, they can do whatever they want with it, it’s my gift to them for raising me right. And the remaining 50% would be invested in property, ideally in small apartment buildings as I live in a city with 5+ universities/colleges.

10 MILLION

This would be ina perfect tax free world

  1. give 1 mil to my dad
  2. give 1 mil to my brother…with triplets coming he will need it
  3. put 3 mil in various savings/checking accounts in different banks
  4. use 1 mil to buy a nice piece of land in Baton Rouge, and have my three contractor friends build my house.
  5. donate a total of 1 mil to varous organizations: my home church, high school, departments at LSU, Oschner hospital at home where my mom got her cancer treatment, TKE fraternity,
  6. Give 1 mil to my dads financial advisor to be split up into various investment possibilities for me
  7. Use most of the rest to go into business with some of my friends and open a truly multipurpose gym/salon. A place with everything, and different sections so no one person could be “offended or intimidated”. And on the same spot, a place with a massage parlor, barber shop, clothes store, …you name it we got it.
  8. Buy a box in Death Valley, Maravich Assembly Center, and Alex Box stadium so I and my friends could enjoy every LSU sporting event in style.

Oh, and fly all of the T-vixens down for Mardi Gras.

It does sound good. But in reality it’s like that elusive woman that you’ve always wanted. When you get her she’s just not up to your dreams. In fact, sometimes she’s a nightmare. Winning a large sum of money could be the same way. Read some of the story’s on lottery winners. Oh I know you would never go down that road, but they probably said the same thing. Family members and friends want more, even though you thought you were generous. And whatever weak link you may have in your personality will be magnified beyond your belief. Like to drink? Like to over eat? Enjoy gambling? What is it? What problems will you be dealing with that you don’t have now?

Be careful what you wish for my friend.

So you have won the lottery, I assume? We are just having some fun and imagining and you come in and piss all over it. Thanks.

Well said, Mo.

I bet youre the guy who tells kids theres no Easter bunny too.
Nailing Robilyn would cause all kinds of problems with her husband, and the likelihood of us being in the same place at the same time is, well, unlikely…but I can still dream about it.

Sorry guys didn’t mean to ruin your dreams. Just giving you a more realistic way to look at it. Maybe it will help some appreciate the reality of their own lives? Anyway, carry on.

I’d pay off my mortgage and debt, work part time, buy the family cottage and fish a lot, and not tell ANYONE about the money.

^THIS

And buy a house on a farm, train, raise a few animals, and travel every so often to have some fun. Then again, mo money, mo problems… and mo bitchez…

I’d

  • buy a few condos, travel all over the world with my SO, training, whoring, you name it
  • finally enroll in my Fatty 2.0 project aiming at achieving optimum physical (joint repair, ASS) and mental properties (designer nootropics) under top notch physicians’ guidance/supervision
  • finally get to learning a few new languages (single digits suck)
  • found some sort of think tank, hiring specialists from different areas of expertise
  • establish my HQ condo with a gentleman room, a posh library, high-backed (and creaky) leather chairs on a hardwood floor and a loyal, efficient and sexy secretary serving coffee, providing trigger point massages and servicing both my SO and fatty old me
  • probably also do a PhD in cybernetics or AI - and taking my sweet time with it
  • donate something for charity or even start up a charity initiative (hiring experts for setting up and constant evaluation)

That’s it for starters.

I’d probably following the rolling stones around for a while, see if I could catch them playing any gigs. ORRR I would hire them for a private concert for me and my family. But only if it didn’t cost my entire winnings.
Also open powerlifting gym

Unfortunately, once you buy those tickets, I am pretty sure there is a clause that mentions you having to be willing to appear in promos and such, so you can’t really keep it quiet. Hence the need for an attorney and a good financial advisor before you step forward.

When I moved into my house fifteen years ago I found out the old fella two houses over won the lottery, four million. He was the coolest cat you could ever meet. Could have moved into any richy rich area in my city but he chose to buy a house around the corner from his son who is now one of my closest friends, very middle class and modest.

Six months here, six months in Tennesee. Never flaunted it, loved the casino. The old guy kept life simple which was key imo.

The good son( my friend) and the bad son are no longer on speaking terms since the old fella died, very messy and sad when lots of money is involved.

If I won I’d move to Tahiti. I’ve felt that way for as long as I can remember. If I stayed here with my cash I would die on one of my custom street bikes sure as shit lol.

Beach, sand, fishing pole, surf board, never wear shoes again. And the women don’t wear tops in Tahiti! Paradise indeed.

I read somwhere that the lottery corp also releases your name to certain charities that in turn hound you four contributions, nice burden to have though.
