whitesoxbrian Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) worth 300M, what would you do at first to make sure nobody knew who you were, and what would you buy? Thought about this while posting in the gamethread today. I'll share mine a little later. Edited July 12, 2008 by whitesoxbrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 First off, no way to keep it private for very long. So you just have to deal with that. I'd make certain my parents and kids were taken care of. I'd buy a round of virtual drinks for my virtual friends A 45' ish sailboat, something I could single hand or made easier with one other Crew member. Adios for a couple years.

shipps Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I would first buy a large bottle of water.Than buy a pound of asparagus.Eat and drink all of that up and then go to my boss's office and pee on her computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think this says it all: Well I lost an eye in Mexico Lost two teeth where I don't know People see me comin' and they move to the other side of the road. I robbed a liquor store To make myself at home a few times Borrowed myself a car when I needed it. I got me a shack at the bottom of the road Fixin' cars and givin' tows Spend all my money on the lottery. When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block A color TV and a bottle of French perfume When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to the city So they have to name a street or a school or a park after me When I win the lottery Never run a flag up a pole Like Mr. Red, White, and Blue down the road But I never called myself a hero for killing a known communist. Now I can walk into any old bar Find a fight without looking too hard But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause someone told me to. And when I win the lottery Gonna buy the house next to Mr. Red, White and Blue And when I win the lottery Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with five gold stars. When I win the lottery. When the end comes to this old world The rocks will cry and the rest will curl up And God won't take the time to sort your ass from mine. 'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad Stumble and fall on right and wrong 'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw just leads us on. And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls on my block Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest highland scotch 'Cause when I win the lottery, the rocks will shake their heads and say that God is good but surely works in mysterious ways. When I win the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) two chicks at the same time You dont need three hundred million to do two chicks at the same time. I would hire a film crew to document the rise and fall of a new money millionaire so I could sell my story after I went broke and hopefully make some money with it. Then I would buy a fleet of H1 Hummers and me and my friends would drive around and go to gas stations and fill them up all the time and laugh at everyone struggling with gas prices and possibly even have gasoline fights Zoolander style.

You're forgetting that there are only 1.5 chicks in South Dakota, so wite would have to fly them in, after constructing the state's first airport. It adds up pretty quick. I can't imagine much to do with that much money. The only immediate thing would be buying a house. The rest would be invested. See, lotto gods, that's why I deserve it more. Even though I don't buy tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 No way I'd want to win 300M. Life = ruined. I'd honestly rather win 1 million. You could do that and move on with life, and it would be a good life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 After all of the immediate families were taken care of, I would buy a minority share of the White Sox to try to get onto the board of directors and get into the management side of sports.

Or give my money to the poster known as jackie hayes. Whatever works. As long as the amount of money I ended up with was small enough that I wouldn't have the entire world looking for handouts.

You could do that and move on with life, and it would be a good life. What is funny or ironic I guess, is basically it would allow me to retire, and at my age retirement would be hiking every long trail in the US and perhaps living aboard a sailboat. So winning lotto would allow me to lower my living expenses to a backpack, some boot, ramen noodles and a packet of tuna. I'm guessing you would be in the minority that could win that big and still stay grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 First I'd pay off my student loans, mortgage, etc (and my parents' and sisters'). Then I'd buy the sweetest Bernina or Husqvarna on the market. Then I'd go on the awesomest vacation in the history of time. Probably put more in trust for my parents' old age and any kids I may have. Then I'd set up a lot of scholarship funds for undergrads (and graduate students). Use the rest (except a little nest egg) to start a nonprofit for my favorite causes.
