Okay guys...here it is. You just won the lottery! You won $200 Million Dollars!!!


What would you do? Be as specific as possible. Have fun with this. And feel free to comment on people's thoughts.

I'll post mine later. Love reading what people would do with crazy-Bill Gates style money! woowoo!!!

I would, very simply, become Marlon Brando's character in Apocalypse Now.

I would buy Neverland and threaten to burn it to the ground unless MJ had a "Humpty Hump" nose sewn onto his face.

We don't have lotteries that large here but they sometimes go up to 30 or 40 million (tax free).

I'd take care of all my family members first off - every single one of them. I'd travel, I'd invest and I would definitely be very charitable with it (I am now and I am practically a broke ass).

i'd pay off my mom and dad's mortgage, make sure property taxes are payed every year on their brand new bungalow

then i'd pay off all my loans and tuition

then i'd travel all around...

and buy my own studio and gallery space...

First things first...QUIT MY FUCKING JOB!!!!

Then I would build my dream home. I would take my friends and family on vacations whilst waiting for my dream home to be finished. I would also fix up my current house and either give it to a family member or charity.

I would take a year off to "find myself". Maybe take some classes, garden, learn some new arts & crafts. I think I would go stir crazy after a year or so. I would use this time to find a new business venture.

I would pay off both my brothers houses and give them some extra money to fix it up to their liking. I would give my mom and her husband some extra retirement money. I would help my friends out.

I would also give a lot of money to women & children shelters locally.

I would convert it to gold bricks and hoard it.

200 mill! damn thats way too much money to know what to do with.

But a house would definitely be on the cards...nothing too extravagant (none of this 40 bedroom mansion crap) Although a castle of some form would be cool Deck the house out with furniture and all that to my likings, get a decent car or two. Also make a bed out of money (you all know you would too if you had that much)

I give all the relatives $10 thousand, set up a college fund for all the family kids.

Travel, travel, Travel.

Build a small house on a lake that's earth friendly, and get a cool vacation home in the tropics.

I'll give a good chunk to my favorite charities like the Humane Society.

Then I'll form a political action group to tackle dumb stuff the man thinks he can get away with because no one cares.

I'd rent Beyonce for KidaDynamite.

I'd offer P like ten mil for a private performance and when he actually stopped by I'd lock his ass in the basement and force him to be my own personal stereo and I'd pay Suge Knight to beat him til he told me where all the unreleased joints were and gave me full ownership. Then I'd force him to have sex with Estelle ten times a day and convert to Islam.

I'd pay Jack Black whatever he wanted so I could punch him in the face whenever I felt like it.

Lets see.....

I would pay all my bills and my parents bills.

I would set up a trust fund for my granddaughter.

Set aside money for all my 3 kids, which they can have after they either finish college or they are the age of 35.

I would build a new home.

Buy my corvette

Would give a HUGE chunk of cash to my church and St Jude.

Take a certain amount of cash and just SHOP SHOP SHOP until I am sick of doing so.

Do a bit of traveling...and put the rest away and invest!

like you wouldn't

Dance said:

Yeah, I wouldn't mind hanging with her, but whatever you had in mind....Hell Naw!

KidaDynamite said:

I'd put MONEY on you not protesting ONE BIT if that girl...

I Would...
1) pay for the rest of school and pay off my student loans.

2) pay off my credit cards

3) buy myself an amazing house with a special room for my shoes and a "media room" for my music collection and various sources to play it. I also really, really want a jukebox!

4) buy my parents and sister their own homes

5) get a fleet of Corvettes: one from each generation

6) buy one of those buildings in Newark, NJ and refurbish it to house low-income families.

Shut Up!

i would quit my job.

i would get a darth vader suit custom made for myself and go out for afternoon strolls downtown in my new costume.

i would buy a beautiful old hotel and turn it into a halfway house for my friends.

since he seems to charge $1 million per gig, i'd give prince $12 million to come out to my house once a month for a year and play concerts in my living room.

i'd buy a loft in NYC and a cute little house near reykjavik.

i would have a scale replica of mount rushmore constructed, completely made out of little debbie swiss roll cakes. then i would invite all the children of the world to eat it.

ummmm, there's more...

I'd give generously to my friends and family first, setting up trusts for my nieces and nephews and some of my friend's children as well.
I'd make lots of charitable donations.
I'd probably spend a few months at some sort of spa/yoga/spiritual place, getting my mind and body in order.
Then I'd be off traveling. Wherever the wind took me, but stopping on every continent for sure.
I'd likely look into purchasing a modest home in Mpls to keep as a homebase.
Then I'd likely do volunteer work, and maybe start my own business. Heck, I might even become a full-time student for a while.

I'd never work another day in my life,4 starterz.I'd buy:
a fab home with maidz,chefs,etc.
fab car
fab wardrobe
take care of the fam
send my few orger palz a nice chunk of money
make prettymansson a rich man!

Hi cousin

Long time no see

I love this. Everybody would give the money they don't have to their families and loved ones

Sadly everytime this happens reality proves otherwise

I would hire the best lawyers in the us and sue prince 4 bein a cunt 2 his fans

Christopher said:

I wouldn't. I love being a teacher; I love the kids and I love making a difference. I just wouldn't feel that pressure to HAVE to work anymore- it would be for my satisfaction.
Also, I've worked too hard educationally to stop.

0. Purchase life insurance in an life insurance trust to pay estate taxes
1. 10% to my church
2. Pay off all debts
3. Pay off all family members' debts
4. Ensure college educations for all minors in the family
5. Set up legacy trusts for future generations
6. Set up foundation to handle ongoing donations
7. Either buy a new house or expand current house (including a pool)
8. New cars
9. Toys

By the way, I have a friend that won the Mega Millions, and collected about $35 million after taxes.

He was one year away from retirement at NASA and intended to finish out that year. But all the demands that came with the sudden influx of cash made it impossible to do that.

So, it's nice to say you'd continue at your current job but the reality is that you'd almost certainly be doing something else.

I'd most definitely DISAPPEAR!

Setup specific trusts for my family's education fund. Not one child in my family would go without an education unless they simply did not wish to go to school. Create specific portfolios so my money continues to make money!

Give Mom what ever she wanted.

I'd then travel to any and all locations my mind could conjure up, sending postcards to Mom letting her know I am alright!

Then in about a year or so....I'd send my dearest and closest friends and family an extravagant invitation for a vacation getaway that I have completely paid for. Round trip tickets, all expenses paid to an exotic location of my choice for all to plan a vacation to just enjoy a week of the good life!

Then go back to my travels!!

I'd also take a flight to the Moon!!!

1) Retire from Corporate America forever (GOOD RIDDANCE!!!)
2) Move to North Carolina, to be closer to my family. Move my parents there as well (all expenses paid by me).
3) Build a beautiful house somewhere on a beach in North Carolina. What the heck, have a nice beautiful house built on the beach for my parents too, while I'm at it. The house for my parents would have to be on or near a golf course, since my dad LOVES golfing!
4) Buy a nice convertible (I've always wanted one, but could never afford it).
5) Donate some of my winnings to the poor and/or an animal shelter.
6) Oh, and travel, travel, travel! Anywhere and everywhere!
