Hypothetical question considering payouts and taxes, but if you won the Mega Millions Jackpot, what would you spend it on?
Personally, I've always had the dream of owning the Video Game Arcade Museum, with every Arcade game ever published housed under one giant roof, with bowling alleys roller rinks pizza and other entertainments.
And publish my own MMO(s).
You?

I would start a RL space exploration company.
I'd like to design my own space vehicles to mine asteroids in RL...
I'd also work on a NEO deflection system, and hopefully charge the planet mega $$$ for saving all our asses...
I would first take off 1 year to play EVE, and not buy any GTC's to make ISK from them... Building the homestead

I think you would need a bit more money then 335 mill. In the grand sceme f things it really isnt that much. Dont get me wrong, i wouldnt turn it down but it isnt.

Seriously? I'd buy my own small island country. Why there should be a breathalyzer to login to Eve:

Edited by: Shin Ra on 06/03/2007 20:42:48 I would buy 22,333,333 Game time cards @ $15 each.
Sell them @ 150mil isk each
This equals: 3,350,000,000,000,000 isk
That is 3.35 zillion, 3350 trillion or 3,350,000 billion
1 titan costs = approx 65 billion with fittings.
This is 51,538 titans
Goonswarm has 3300 members.
This is 15.671 titans for every member.
Based on the damage of 55,000 per dd, this is 181.5 million instant damage
Baisically we could have 5 gangs of 660 people who could insta pop dreads and titans.

I would finish my (currently working on) university degree and maybe get a few others.
I would then try to start a business, and when it gets going, give up the head position to someone better suited than I, but I would work on it, just as hard. They could be the management, but I would help do the work.
And then I would have some nice cars, move out of my parent's house (I am 19, and university student - so I am allowed to still be there!), and I would have a hell of a lot of confidence.
Also, buy a few dogs/cats, etc. To keep those aunts and uncles and cousins that crawl out of the woodwork when you win money. --

Buy more lottery tickets.
Actually, I'd buy a house, a few cars, a kickass computer, all that stuff a few times more for other family members, and invest/save the other 354 million.

yes, you can buy around 3 of those before your out of money.
But I dunno. I'd buy myself a nice house. A nice few cars. Maybe a small Cesna. Travel the world for a while. keep my job. And just invest the rest.
Oh.. and change my name and adress. ;) Rabble

you would be surprised how far money goes if it isnĘt the government spending it
the first Civilian Spaceship, spaceshipone was researched, designed, and built for less than $10 million.

At least over here in the UK we don't have to pay TAX on our lotto winnings (highest win so far would be around $148,576,378) so that's a nice added bonus.
What would I spend it on?
The best damn cinema room ever in any home in the world. I'd also have the most up to date computer(s) and have them continuously upgraded. I'd have a 9 hole golf course built in my back garden. I'd have an arcade room with loads of machines, retro and modern, and have old ones removed and new ones added regularly. I'd only have 2 cars, the practical car and the Aston Martin.
Lots of other stuff I can't think of atm as well

I'm not a big fan of lotto's, but I bought 5 tickets for this one. Didn't even come close on any of my tickets 
This just reinforces how much I hate the T2 lottery...

As long as i can afford somewhere to live, and play eve i don't mind. I'd give almost all of it to charity, maybe keep 10million in the bank, live off interest.. etc.

I'd buy half of CCP, then offer a 'Salary Early Christmas Bonus' to all the GMs to give my character all skills at LV5, and a personal Titan that can generate a Cyno field anywhere of my choice, by myself, while in it, and have T3 fittings on it before anyone else.
Then I'd go to BoB's HQ, and with my T3 and Uber skillz, tank everyone and kill everything
