    Default Top 5 things *if you won the lotty

    Top 5 Things...

    ...you'd do if you won the lottery (let's say 280 Million AKA Mega Millions, non taxed)

    1. A really nice..big house..hmm few of them actually (Own a chain of banks..)
    2. sweet ass Rides ( Heavily Modded..)
    3. I'd buy all the top clubs around the world
    4. help out any friends or family members, and charity etc. donate
    5. Save/Invest/Stocks -Buy out Town center Mall at Cobb, and put in all the Stores We all want (also buy out an island and have it for digging oil only so we wont have a shortage)

    Open up my own shop.... Or a couple of them actually...
    Buy every car I've ever wanted.
    Mod everyone of those cars in one way or another.
    Ditto on the family/friends thing.

    hmmm
    Get whatever makes my mother happy(house, car, clothes etc... ) and settled in somewhere she wants to be.

    Myself a house nothing huge considering I am never home, and 2 or 3 nice rides.

    each close family members *not ones that appear once I win anything* equal share of it
    and then invest all the rest and make bank later on in life. but still work and live a normal life because money isnt everything and people use and abuse ones who have it.

    -fix both of my del Sols, buy some other rides
    -get out of debt
    -buy a couple of houses, and get my parents some stuff they've always wanted
    -charity
    -start up my own custom/race shops.

    Ever notice how whenever these type of questions come up the generic answer always involves charity cause you'll get called a selfish bastard if you don't? I'm not saying there aren't people who put it because they genuinely mean it, but it's just kind of a default answer. Just an observation. Keep on truckin

    so i'm u'r bro, right? lol.


    shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, first thing on my list is that i wouldnt tell NOBODY outside my immediate family. my parents would be living in the carribbean, sippin on pina coladas, i'd prolly stay in the area, just have several "home away from home" type houses, get rid of any debt i or my family has (which isnt all that much, to be honest) then buy a few rides. i know my dad wants a 65 mustang 289HiPo black on black with factory ac, and hell whatever mom wants. then i'd have my built nsx, my FIXED teggy, and something else (prolly truck or suv) for a daily.

    is that more than 5 things? lol

    I'd actually give it all to my dad and let him deal with the headaches of winning the lottery.. I'll just take a couple of million off the top cause I dont feel like getting up for work in the morning.

    Honestly most people may think I'm lying/crazy but I think winning the lottery takes the fun out of life, I feel that a big part of being wealthy is the hard work and struggle to get there.. and I'd much rather work for a million than win it. If its given to you it is not appreciated like it would be if you worked for it. I still play the lottry about 3 or 4 times a year in hopes that I can hand the ticket over to my father.

    While that may be true, I think that that is bullshit. Define work. Work as in hard labor, or as in Doing what Bill Gates did, which is copy the comptuer programing for apple and put to the PC and got wealthy.

    Work as in investing or forming a business plan and executing. Millionaire status wont come from doing hard labor for someone else.

    do you people really know how much 280 million dollars is? i mean just damn..

    I would travel every place I've ever wanted to go and retire.
    Make my parents retire and send them whereever they wanted to go
    Make my brother and his wife and my sis retire by giving them 20 million.
    Let all of my true friends retire.
    Buy new rides, a new house, clubs, hotels, etc... and then save the other 150 million.. lol

    Depends on the amount! If it's over $100 million cash then build a race park of course! Something similiar to the GSP/FBI training facility just outside of Savannah...drift & road courses, skid pads, etc. it would be a place for younger drivers to be properly taught how to control a car and maybe save a life or two plus a place for clubs to meet, car shows, races, etc. It would defintitely need a scale version of Nurburgring around the outside with everything imagineable inside...maybe a even a small town, with car museums, stores/shops, restaurants/bars, all with a similiar atmosphere & style as Atlantic Station w/ all the streets being named after famous circuits....hey, gotta pay for everything somehow? It would be the Disney World of racing, a place for all forms of racing to come together!

    Just thought I forgot about about family and friends didn't you? How about if i gave each of them space in it with a little money to start their own business, franchise, or instruction/driving school, etc...

    All i'd want for myself is a moderately sized modern industrial loft somewhere near with space for a few select cars, a comfortable living area, and an asian inspired backyard w/ ponds & gardens surrounded by thick bamboo. I think too much.
