What would you do if you won the powerball?

Post by xxxeagle »

What would you do if you won the powervall its at 70 mil now. If I won the powerball I would buy a whole bunch of old arcade mahine classics and every videogame system I could think of that I ever wanted also I would have an awesome house with a barn back in the woods converted into a two story game room with a pool table and an all my video game stuff. I probably would go to japan and bring back all kinds of import systems. And of course I would host a convention for all the forum members too showcase their work and talk about videogames. What would you guys do? I can think of more but I'm too tired to type it all now.

Evily laugh because with that much money I can get every invention I've thought up into place, and a lot of them are revolutionary.

Hmm, I tend to go the cost efficent route, but this is what the first $40,000 would go to.

Note that this is a little outdated, I would add more things but that means time, and it is almost 1:00AM.

two chicks at the same time.


I'd prolly just buy a nice house, build my own vacation home, finance a blockbuster movie for Ben, and donate a lot of it for research on cancers and other diseases.

well, I probably would tell a select few (close relatives, etc.) and keep it in the bank or something, the interest would be crazy. Otherwise, I guess I'd probably use it to have an upper-middle class life, and keep the money available for occasional indulgences (vacations, new cars, house upgrade) Donate some, and keep a good amount for my will (if I don't tell my kids that we won the lottery at some point, and it never was spent, imagine how that would be! Of course, the cars and stuff would kinda change things a bit)

Eh, whatever. I need to go to bed :P

id open a burger joint called "Nate's Kahuna Burger"

a kahuna burger is a long burger marinated in a thick teriyaki sauce, then flame broiled, topped with lettuce, walla walla sweet onions, pickle, secret sauce, with a sesame seed bun.

thats right and it would be amazing

or id open that killer movie theatre
