Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2008.06.23 21:09:00 - [33] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Vanish. And get a lawyer. They always say to get a lawyer, something about the amount the government rips from you. You don't actually win the amount posted, more like half. Actually more like 1/3. - First they pay off all the lower level winners. While not huge there are a lot of them. The place that sold the ticket gets like 1% as well I think. - Second most pay off as an annuity over the course of 20 years. Most people opt out of that and go for the money up front. When you do this they calculate the interest they would have earned on your money if they kept it in the bank plus inflation ($20 million today is worth more than $20 million in 20 years). - Third they positively kill you for taxes. You just insta-popped into the highest tax bracket and have no chance to hide it in various funds. Pretty sure they take it out before handing you a check...you get no choice. It's a freaking huge scam. No wonder they made it illegal for anyone except the State to run a lottery. So, win $20 million and walk home with maybe $7 million. Still nice to be sure and you are set for life but not hyper wealthy sadly. -------------------------------------------------- "Of course," said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, "there's no paradox if I shoot you!"

Khatred ReallyPissedOff Guinea Pigs	Posted - 2008.06.24 19:02:00 - [41] 1. Hire 40 people and buy the hardware to make the mmorpg I have in my head.

Norwest Prima Civitas	Posted - 2008.06.24 22:59:00 - [43] Originally by: Dan Glebitts You are now ú20million richer - That's $40million for our American chums. 1: What is the first thing you do with your new found wealth? 2: What is the craziest thing you would purchase? 3: What aspect of your previously poor ass life would you retain? 4: Where would you like to live? 1) Squirrel it away in multiple banks. And buy about 1 million CAD in gold coins to bury. Also dye my hair, and get coloured contact lenses, so people tracking me down for my money will get thrown off the trail. 2) An acreage with an abandoned coal mine on it. Then I'll renovate, get a fiberoptic line installed, and make my underground bunker - just in case. This is, of course, to quiet the paranoid survivalist yapping in the back of my head. 3) Gaming habits, friends. 4) Foothills in the Rocky Mountains. See (2). ***** Rule 27: 'Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.' -The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates [schlockmercenary.com]

Because sometimes you get tired of that special someone...or just can't stand them. 3) Everything. I like my life, but I just want to inject more money into it. NEW COMPUTER EVERY 6 MONTHS! 4) Toronto. Or maybe Vancouver, it's warmer there. Or Niagara Falls....but it might be a bit too wet there. And maybe a second home in France or England or Scotland. Originally by: MotherMoon buy eve a 40 million$ super computer cluster. I'm dead ******* serious. You could probably buy a good chunk of CCP itself and run it how you want.

Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.06.27 14:16:00 - [47] Edited by: Vladimir Ilych on 27/06/2008 14:19:06 1. Quit work and go off by myself for a week to think. Turn phone off. 2. Not really crazy but I would buy some art. Not by famous people but just stuff I like. Tried to find a link to a piece I once saw. A criminal was condemned but donated his body to science. He was either sliced or scanned (forget which) from top to toe. The artist took the scans an inch or so apart and etched them onto plates of glass. Then hung them all at the correct height. The result was this "ghost" hanging in what looked like a cube of glass. Real freaky but so cool. 3. My clothes. I am a bit odd with clothes. All my stuff is almost identical. I just don't feel right in anything else. 4. London, as I do now but after some traveling. I have a euro millions ticket in my wallet right now. ú46 atm.
Kathryn Dougans Amarr B. S. Radioactive Sheep Farm	Posted - 2008.06.27 14:43:00 - [48] 1: What is the first thing you do with your new found wealth? I honestly don't really know, but I think I'd buy a dress that I saw once. 2: What is the craziest thing you would purchase? Possibly a couple years worth of EVE subscriptions for a handful of my favourite EVE people, like Michael and Surfin. 3: What aspect of your previously poor ass life would you retain? My part-time job. Without it, I'd have no structure to my day, and I'd end up not getting anything done. 4: Where would you like to live? Not sure. I'd maybe like to go east coast Scotland, or south Wales, but I do like where I am at the moment - west coast Scotland. Beside the sea anyway, I like that.
Dan Glebitts One Ton Banana	Posted - 2008.06.27 14:51:00 - [49] Originally by: Kathryn Dougans Not sure. I'd maybe like to go east coast Scotland, or south Wales, but I do like where I am at the moment - west coast Scotland. Beside the sea anyway, I like that. You near Girvan ? Always liked that little town. Could never resist running up those hills.
Rhanna Khurin Minmatar	Posted - 2008.06.27 16:10:00 - [50] The first thing i would do would be to have a massive party with all my friends and family. Craziest thing i would buy would probably just be some stupid NASA super computer to play EVE with. The aspect of my previously poor life i would retain would be my rather dubious drinking bproblem hehe. I'd live in Shanklin on the isle of wight in a lovely house next to the sea.
Kathryn Dougans Amarr B. S. Radioactive Sheep Farm	Posted - 2008.06.27 16:25:00 - [51] Originally by: Dan Glebitts You near Girvan ? Always liked that little town. Could never resist running up those hills. Girvan's about 30 miles S of where I am atm. Not really been there, I take it it's nice there?
lookingatme	Posted - 2008.06.27 18:06:00 - [52] 1: What is the first thing you do with your new found wealth? The obvious.. Clear any debts (i have none, but by the time i win im sure i would)Clear the parents debt for them. Buy them a house etc etc. 2: What is the craziest thing you would purchase? I would build a house in Japan thats next to the ocean. It would be huge. Id buy the land and call it New eden. The design would be japanese style house. The amount of secrets and gadgets in the house would be unreal also. Like the bookshelf.. only it wouldnt be a lame book you pull back.. no.. Voice recog~. Top of the line security. Best computer/network/command centre money could buy. Camera's all over.. Fingerprint only access to anything i deem secret. And it will have a nuculear/any bomb Proof bunker buried 100ft below the mansion. Where everything is accessable to me through there (mini command center) (thats my crazy thoughts these days) 3: What aspect of your previously poor ass life would you retain? Everything.. why not. 4: Where would you like to live? Japen (but nowhere near the city.. just in middle of nowhere.)
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2008.06.27 20:15:00 - [53] I'd go and get a full set of bespoke plate armour made up to fit me. Chainmail under shirt, the full lot. Then I'd carry on about my normal life, commuting on the train, sitting in the office, and see how long it took to get fired / arrested (*). Not carrying a spiked mace or broadsword or anything, but I bet the police would still nick you for something like "being metal and spikey in a public place".
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.06.28 05:59:00 - [54] Edited by: Viktor Fyretracker on 28/06/2008 05:59:41 smartly invest it so i can live nice off the interest. give some to friends. and of course quit my job in tech support, as in if i saw i won during lunch id probally Rickroll the entire corporate exchange server(where i work that is around a million totall address groups), lock my PC and leave my badge at security and disappear. edit: forget just the exchange server, id do the whole domain as i work for an ISP!

Aloriana Jacques Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2008.06.28 07:31:00 - [56] Originally by: LaVista Vista Quote: 2: What is the craziest thing you would purchase? CCP I thought of that...but I dunno if 40M is enough to buy it. O.o - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet
