I just won 100 million dollars.

[CowboyWay]

Not really, but we all dream of hitting the lotto.

What would you do if you just hit the jackpot. After all taxes paid, you had 100 million sitting in your bank account?

What would you do first? No generic "I'd take a vacation" stories. I want something juicy.

For example. Where I work, the CEO drives a Viper. He is so damn proud of this car its pathetic. Parks it right out in front for the world to see and talks about it non stop to anyone who will listen, and brags about how few people can own one.

If I hit the lotto, my idea would be to buy everyone in the company the exact same model of Viper(about 50 people). Under one condition. You can't sell it, and you have to drive it to work every single day.

Of course I would do this right after I quit of course and travel the world in the lap of luxury.

your turn.

 

[Yeagermeister]

The first thing I do is call my boss and say have a nice life. . Then after paying all my bills I'm not sure what I'd do actually.

I'd buy a box at the new stadium and maybe invite a few of you knuckle draggers to some games. :laugh2:

 

[WoodysGirl]

I'd set up trust funds for all my nieces and nephews, contingent upon them enrolling in college or some trade school and completing a program.

I'd set up a trust for my Mom and Dad so they'd have stress free retirements.

Pay off all my debts, of course. I'd lease my current home and invest in a new property.

And my new car would be... Jaguar C-XF

You know what they say about Jags......buy two because you'll spend that much keeping it on the road.

With a 100 mil, I don't think that would be a problem.

 

[Route 66]

I think someone should be nice and help bail out the auto makers.

 

[ologan]

I'd buy the zone a new server.And then place the "Open Letter To Jerry Jones" in every major newspaper in the USofA.

 

[tomson75]

I'd buy a small 200 or so acre Ranch in the northern mountain states with some good fly fishing. I'd buy a beach house on an island with a nice surf break. I'd rebuild my family's vacation home in Vermont. I'd build a cement skatepark and a motocross track at whatever property I'd spend most of my time. I'd buy a nice Audi RS6. I'd buy a bigger truck to tow my new toys.

....and I'd buy every damn Snap-on tool I've ever wanted, a new millermatic passport plus welder, a huge garage, a motorcycle frame jig, a bunch of rebuildable knucklehead, panhead, and shovelhead engines....and fifty tons of raw material to play with.

Then I'd give half of whatever I have left to my parents, setting them up for a very nice retirement.

The rest would be invested...some of it in a small business of my choice to keep me busy.

 

[Faerluna]

- Set up all the parents for life

- Pay the bills

- Build a Victorian style house that has all the modern amenities/wiring and a recording studio in the basement

- Build said house on the gigantic piece of land somewhere in Texas

- Open an animal sanctuary for domestic pets (think http://www.cathouseonthekings.com/)

For as much as you and I have argued over some petty stuff, we have a TON of similarities.
Fly fishing, Ranch's, Islands, motocross track, and power tools. Not so much in buying a business though. Who's got the time with all the toys.

 

[Scranton Tiger]

I'd build my new house. Buy a new Chevy Silverado. Get season box seats for Clemson football games.

After that, I'd keep 10 Million in my account and give the rest away to my friends and family.

lol...yeah, the business might be a stretch. Unless it was selling all of the junk I'd throw together with my new tools.

(its cause jaguar was a ford company )

id buy or pay off every one of my familys houses for them. then id buy them all chevy or dodges, their pick. I'd buy my self a little bachelor pad. nothing to big but it would have alot of land as i'd want a 1/4 mile strip in my back yard. a seperate 10 car garage with something like this...[youtube]sm1IfqVofNA[/youtube]
...for my corvette and camaro as they would be my pride and joys.

for the innerds i would have THE best rec room EVA! 73" HDTV for my 360, ps3, Cowboys use only. a pool table, darts, full bar. I'd try and get all the Boy's legends jerseys signed and a picture while they are signing it. and start the collection that would make every collectiors collection seem worthless.

We just got a new server but thanks for the thought.

 

[CowboyWay]

10,000 acres of prime river frontage deep in the mountains with a 15,000 square foot log cabin. Every toy you could possibly fit into the garage, and a houseboy I would call "Spaz" to do my bidding.

 

[avaj]

As long as I can get high speed internet and see all the Cowboys games I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Yes, thats a given. Even if I have to cut down 100 trees to get a clear view of the southern sky (directtv)

 

[Cajuncowboy]

The first 10 million would go to my church.

Another 10 million would go to help the people in the Sudan.

Another 10 million for aids and cancer research.

Another 10 million to Operation Blessing (Mission to help in disaster relief)

Another 10 million to various ministries we support.

And with 50 million left, I would start giving it away with such speed it would make your head swim.

Oh, and I would buy a hot dog and a Dr. Pepper at the new stadium.

 

[CowboyWay]

Any room in there to help fund Stem Cell research?
