    Let me add that when I move to PB, FL I would also build a barn to keep retired racehorses. They can run free on my gf's 5 acre equestrian community home. Go Mind That Bird and the philly Rachel Alexandra.

    It would help if I went out and BOUGHT a ticket!

    Probably splurge on concerts and music memorabilia and such, put some away for the future, help my closest relatives out, and donate a little to the most reputable and useful charity I could find. (IE, no charities for black amputee midget ex-porn stars)

    I would do whatever the hell I want!

    But really, I'd pay off debts for myself, take care of the parents, buy a ridiculous house with ridiculous things inside it and open a sports bar.
  • PJaddictedPJaddicted Posts: 1,432
    Pay off all debt
    Put the rest of the money in my kids college accounts
    Put the rest in the bank and continue to live the way we always have, taking vacations, giving to charity

    Take care of family.
    Give/start a charity.
    Quit work.
    Make another baby with my beautiful wife.
    OPEN A RECORD STORE! Wouldn't care if it made money obviously. Just to own my own record store and play whatever I wanted....give young kids a place to hang out and listen to music - always wanted to do this.

    i wouldnt give any big sums to charity
    i would buy another caste
    6 cars
    homes for my immediate family
    travel all over the world
    i'd write a book called "the miilionaires guide to tipping and leprosy"
    i'd also buy zooey deschanel & Latvia


    having read the thread i was amazed to see people would

    "pay off debts"

    well with $40million in the bank isnt it pretty obvious you'd pay off debts? I'd be surprised if anyone won that amount of cash and then said to their financial advisor.

    "yeah i'll just pay the minimum on it this month... 9 more months interest free..."
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think I'd buy a condo or loft in Detroit
    Get a season ticket package to the Tiger and Red Wings
    Buy a house up in the mountains, maybe in Silverton or Telluride
    Travel alot
    Make sure my family's taken care of
    Start giving to every charity I can think of

    I love the Tigers, but if you'd still live in Detroit with that kind of money, there's something wrong with you ;) You could just get a private plane to take you there for ballgames!

    As to me, I'd pay off my student loans and then just travel. If I got tired of traveling, I'd open a bookstore.

    And 2 chicks at the same time... well, again.

    ~ Buy a PT Cruiser and have it made eco friendly
    ~ Get married
    ~ Go on holiday/honeymoon
    ~ Open a cattery

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    I would give my 2 week notice at my job (which I dont really hate that much).

    I would move back to Buffalo full time, build a house on the River and build my parents houses wherever they want.

    I would play baseball, softball, and hockey as much as I can. since I moved away I havent been able to play much. I would also run a lot, and probably take up cycling.

    I wouldnt work, but I would likely spend some time volunteering. Maybe as a 'big brother', spend a lot of time at animal shelters, etc.

    I would think about returning to college if I found something that would really interest/motivate me.

    I would also write a novel.


    And probably travel some.

    2.) pay all outstanding bills for me and my immediate family
    3.) sit back, smile, and exhale

    But in seriousness if I won the lotto I would definitely take my friends on a trip somewhere awesome. Maybe a trip around Europe or Asia. Then I'd buy in Apartment in New York City.

    Lots and lots of concerts and travel and I'd pay my sister's college tuition. Don't need a big house or a fancy car, but would love to do those things.

    I'd PM imalive and find out how I could win that White Backspacer up for grabs. What's that you say? I'm part of the organizing committee and I'm not eligible? Well then, your odds just got better. C'mon, PM imalive and give him something to do tonight.
