You've won the lottery! Now what?

One of my favorite dreams, but unfortunately nothing but that. However, I liked this article on msn (particularly the end 😛 ):

LOL Good article, Hal. I liked the ending as well. I think the hardest part of winning the lottery for me would be keeping my want vs. need views in perspective. It'd likely fall apart while I splurged for a while. But, not toooo much. I'd want to be able to enjoy it for more than a short time. Too many people go hog wild with spending and blow it all before they realize what they're doing. Sad.

A nice big dream home, the biggest projection tv I can find, enhancing my movie collection, and all the free time I could hope for. Ahhhh....guess I'm off to go buy some tickets now🙂

A reliable car, some minor home repairs (It would be nice to pave the driveway). Then invest the rest probably.

For me, a better car, a trip to Atlanta to see my Braves. Take my mom to London as she's always wanted to go there and never has. Pay off all my bills, Perhaps a trip to Las Vegas as I've not seen it in years, and I know it's changed. Then, on to life's goals. I'd go back to graduate school, and get my law degree, or, even better, come up with the front money to manufacture a realiable product people can use. Then, after all was said and done, do charity work, perhaps become a public servant, either volunteer or elected, and, like the Kennedys, give something back to others for my good fortune.

Sure is a shame you blew all the money in Vegas huh 😉


That was a good article! Dyslexic Humpback whales LOL

Now what? I would retire and watch a lot of baseball. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Pay off the bills, buy a pick-up truck, and then buy a fishing boat to go to the Gulf of Mexico to do some marlin fishing😀

 

[Double T]

Pay off the house, pay all the bills, move to Scottsdale, Arizona, buy a van with a wheelchair lift, hire a driver, invest the rest as a sourse of future income, and then go to every d*** gathering that came down the pike!

If I won the Lottery.

Very first thing I'd do is take measures to protect my family......

hire someone to play me, and collect the winnings

like the story said, you'll get all kinds of unwanted attention.

move to a warmer climate; for me that will require trips to southern california, arizona, las vegas, and florida.
buy a nice big house, and rent this one. hey realestate is a good investment right?

next dump all the cars i now have, and buy a couple new ones. maybe a motor home too for the long trips i plan on taking.

i'd buy an ice cream store, or 2. maybe a bar also. both are always good money makers. i also have a couple friends to manage them when i'm gone. then i'd look into that idea that floated around here some time back; a tickle hotel. where all us tickphiles can gather for vacations, and play.

lastly i'd look into a couple armed guards to cover my butt, lol.
who am i kidding? i'd spend the first 2 weeks with a differnt ticklish woman everyday (or one that tickled me back).
