Hey, Washingtonians (and Oregonians, if you have Mega Millions or just want to play anyway)...

What would you do if you won Mega Millions? Lump sum, or the payments? What'd be your first major purchase that is completely indulgent, selfish and fun?

 

I would go for the lump sum.
First thing I would do is purchase the company that I work for and walk into the project manager's office, look her squeare in the eye and fire her.

Then I'd go buy a new house and finally I'd hit up the car dealers!

 

Personally i would go with payments. As for the first purchase?

Right now i live in an APT. and i cant have a dog. I just love dogs, so i would for sure buy a house where i could have lil puppies running around hehe.

 

oh...i dont live in that area...it's REALLY high here as well

 

OK think about it, what could you possibly do with 355 mil, that you couldn't do with 152 mil. I would take the lump sum. I couldn't spend that in a lifetime anyway, unless i bought a house in Dubai, and started living like a rockstar!!! I guess 152 in enough for me!! I would buy a Bugatti Veyron, FIRST

 

I was thinkina bout this as well.

1st. Give a lil something to all my friends
2nd. Buy a nicer house, a buncha cars, and build a track course in the back of my yard.
3. with the rest 100 million Id pop into a cd and live off interest for the rest of my life :D

 

^^ Oh yeah, and that lump sum is over 25 years! If the "unthinkable" should happen in that time frame, the state gets to keep that money, if you get it all at once, you can leave it to your family in a will or something

 

HAHA great idea if it was more like 1 million, but 100 million. You must have an expensive lifestyle, that you can't live off 100 mil for the rest of your life, you need the interest too.

 

naw just so I dont gotta use my 100 milllion. I heard some people just litereally blow it all and end up going bankrupt. I dont wanna do that so by putting it in a cd I can invest and keep my 100 million while also being able to do wat i want on a yearly basis.

its like free money is being made from free money

 

See, I was thinking the opposite of that. What on earth do I possibly need 152 million in a lump sum? Shouldn't 10 million pretty much cover my indulgent needs per year? I would personally love to have 200 more million as I'm sure my children and God knows how far down my lineage will.

I would start off my first year slow and buy a nice home and nice homes for my family. I also think we'd walk out on our jobs and go on a huge vacation, staying at destinations for a month or so at a time. I'd bring along a teacher for my children, a few nannies and such. And of course we'd get there with our little yacht.

And of course all the little things like new clothing, furniture, cars....

The next 10 million comes in we then buy the real yacht. I really want a yacht.

 

Hmm yea Id say id still wanna work, but change my occupation to work on cars full time. I work in the tech sector but its not my passion.

 

Are you sure your family doesn't get the rest of the millions if you die?

Wow, what a gamble. I might still stick with my original thought with the payouts. I'm pretty sure I'll live 25 years... or at least a few. And if I die, at least I had fun. I'm sure I'd have a few million in cash and a lot more in assets if the unthinkable were to happen.

 

Id also give 1 million to the people of scion life

29 dollars for each memeber of Scion life who claims it,

 

im only 20 so id go with payments.. but id get a nice house in jersey, one in miami, and one somewhere in cali.. and then I'd get the Zonda that I always wanted and probably add to it some type of ferrari, lambo, a koenisegg, I guess even a buggati, a mclaren, an F1 car, a westfield XTR4, a ford GT, and I would twin turbo half of them just to be cool, and I would push my street tC to under 10 secs, and I would go around buying expensive clothes and I would buy some women, and then i would take a roadtrip around the Us, and then a trip around the world.. and Id tell all my professors at rutgers to eff off.. and id give money to my family, friends and my church, and after all that when I get some time I will just buy completely bone stock cars (like 90s civics or 01 celica gts) and make them look rediculous and hook them up...

ok back to reality..

 

^ oh and definitely a supra..

 

and then i would also invest that money until its a couple billion and I would buy toyota and put out the new supra which would own the new skyline..

 

yes back to reality

 

Definitely go with payments. How much do you CAN you buy in one year. Besides that amount is AFTER taxes while I assume, the lump sum would be taxed.

So. This is what I would do (not necessarily in order of importance):

1. Buy a couple of houses around the world so that when I travel I don't need to bother with reservations, hotels, etc etc...

2. Buy a mini cooper for my twin, Maserati 4porte for older sis, Solara and Jaguar for mom, aston martin for dad, Ariel Atom for Sap, and various other cars to the nice people I know.

3. Buy a ferrari for myself among other toys.

4. Every year donate 1M out of the 10M that I receive, to a different medical research/charity/orphanages/school/infrastructure around the world.

5. Travel and travel a whole lot so why not a private jet? :D

6. Horses.

Hmmm I think I'm done for now?

 

did u even buy a ticket!

 

oh that's the ticket you bought using my numbers?

well then if you win I win too and I want half of the bootay! or else.....................................................................no mor ehugs


p.s. no more atom for you
