What would you buy with 278.3 million cash?

I just bought a lotto ticket today and it's always fun to think about how you would use the money. I think one of the first things I'd do is book a seat on a flight to mars. http://news.discovery.com/space/mars-colony-spacex-121126.html

I've never bought one but I might this time. I'd probably by a new car, move out west and be a ski bum. Probably give a lot to charity and stuff, pay for college.

Not me. But if i had all that money, I wouldnt show it. I would invest it in a ton of different outlets (Real estate, bonds stocks etc...), live stress free, have a decent car (Audi s4) and just move out west. then once Im married to a girl i love and i have a nice base of friends, I would reveal that im a multi millionaire, and then I'd spend my money as i wish.

That way I would know that people werent just gold digging me.

Buy a murcielago or gallardo (whichever one I kind find with a stick), an old 911 that I'll supe up, and either an m5, cts-v wagon or a g63 amg. Buy a house on the ocean. With 270 million I'd probably get my pilots license and buy myself a little plane to travel in. Go buy a lot of tailored suits and a nice watch.

I'll go buy two tickets after class.
I would:
Pay off the rest of the money I owe for the trip I'm taking to haiti this summer.
Buy the cleanest low mile 04 STi which would stay stock for about a month. Then I'd probably go GT35r.
Buy the cleanest stock 240 hatch I could find in america. Then put an RB in it.
Replace my shitty Anthems.
Go house shopping in colorado.
Then I would dispense 100,000 dollars to my parents, 100,000 dollars to my grandparents, and set up a trust fund for my 13 year old brother.

After this I would spend the next few years carefully setting up a high scale restaurant in the downtown denver area. Twelve people a night tops. One seating time. I'd fly my current boss out to help manage the place.

This.


It's funny....scratch tickets were originally designed to help the poor because rich people were supposed to use a portion of their discretionary income to buy the tickets. This revenue from ticket sales would then be collected by the local gov't as revenue and subsequently distributed to poorer areas of town

but instead all the poor fucks just spend their measly income on scratch tickets in the hopes of striking the big pot and just end up screwing themselves over

I feel like theres a way to stay private..

I would probably give family members 5 million.
Then stay at my job for a month or two just doing nothing and fucking around all day
Try and get fired
File for unemployment
Collect unemployment
Travel the world with my millions and government funds
