It's a simple game. You post what you would buy and/or do if you won a $300 million jackpot.

I would:
Move to LA
Buy a Gump-load of K'nex (more than him, in fact)
Buy a better DSLR and a bunch of professional film equipment
Buy a bunch of Airsoft guns
Buy a heavily upgraded iMac
Buy Astro A50 headsets for Xbox
Buy another Xbox (lol, just for fun)
Buy Black Ops 2

I'll save the rest and donate a couple million too.

No one would ever hear from me again...

Or I'd go to the moon and buy the K'nex corporation.

[The Stig]

TBH, I'd be pretty conservative about it. I wouldn't tell anyone about it, except for some family.

First, I'd buy a car. This one.
I'd buy a top of the line computer.
I'd buy some k'nex, of course.
I'd contact Jeff and invest in Bon Temps Family Adventure Park.
I'd go to a different major theme park area every summer: Cedar Point & PKI one year, SFMM & Knott's next year, SFGAdv & Hershey, SDC & Dollywood next year, blah blah blah and so on...
A 3D TV would be cool.
I'd give a million to my Mom, and a million to my Dad.
I wouldn't move, I'd actually stay in Hammond.
And get this: I'd still come to work.

EDIT: V D'oh yeah! Lawyer and accountant. Good idea

[pkiknex25]

Only $100 million? Can't we make it like $300 million?

Anyway...

Hire a lawyer and an accountant as advisers on how to handle the money (bank accounts and whatnot)
Pay off college loans for both me and my girlfriend
Buy new cars (nothing fancy, don't want to stick out as rich so some ass doesn't intentionally hits me)
Buy a house for the future family.
Take a year off school (I'd still want to finish school)
Travel (ALL THE COASTERS!!!)
Give some to my family and girlfriend's family
Donate some of it
Buy me a Dutch Details t-shirt!


^ Exactly, I would still want to work. Not doing so would be too much free time.

[RollerManiac]

SDC & Dollywood next year...

Do you think that you could plan one next year?

Only $100 million? Can't we make it like $300 million?

Done.

[Maxlaam]

Buy a warehouse and start a giant K'NEX Themepark with Gump that people can visit, fully interactive and a "Build your own ride" corner for the kids who got inspired! Also in-house K'NEX only store! Also, go to the US and do all the themeparks!

[The Stig]

Do you think that you could plan one this year?

No, because it's almost December.
But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't looked up flights to Cleveland near the end of May

[CW5X]

^^If you had that much money, wouldn't you by a large area of land instead and build your own k'nex themed full sized theme park with lots of working models, like Legoland, with all the stuff you said. Well that's what I'd do. Maybe an Aston Martin here and there. Custom built house. Or just save most of it and live off the interest. Even at these rubbish rates that's still a lot. As well as giving lots to charity of course. I wouldn't have actually done anything to earn that money.

[Zem]

I would cash it out into $1 bills, put all the money in a huge pile, and I would burn it.

I've been in an audi tt. why not get an r8?

[The Stig]

As ridiculous as that seems, that's pretty BAMF.

I've been in an audi tt. why not get an r8?

Same reason PKI stated: To not come across as a rich ass.
Besides, what the hell do I need a 525hp V10 for?

[soggyhotdoggg]

^True. If I won the lottery, My parents would take the money. my dad drew two powerball tickets recently. If I managed to keep the money. I'd get new VV cars and a camera (so I could post my two coasters in my room) I don't know what I'd do with the rest

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Quit my job!

Set my daughter up for life

Pay off my mom and sisters' houses
(sell mine, good riddance)

By a big boat
Travel the world

And while I'm at it....

Donate all my Knex to this site to be used as contest awards
Buy every member of the SS community a Son of Serpent

[Dragon]

I'd buy some big companies scrips and multiply the money, then buy more scripts and keep buying them till i became the richest person in the world with more then 100.000 billion.


After this, i'd spend 25 billion in education on the poorest countries, and 50 billion in researches to create a time machine, then i'd go back to 1700 and invest 20 billion on education, in the whole word, every single nation, teach the greatest minds about the green energy and its benefits, and in the school, kids will learn about ethics, respecting others people, homosexual or not, respect every religion, culture, to not lie, take care of the environment.

With all of this education, ethics and respect for every single creature, human or animal, there'll be no greed to poison men soul, war will be useless, with a union of every single country, starvation will be a very small problem, environment will be preserved so lack of water and food, there won't be super populations, and misery will be small as starvation.

After all of this i'd come back to 2012 and see the new world, a decent world, with no bloodshed, starvation, corruption. The world will be fair, no crimes, no thieves, no lies.

When i get older, when i die, i'll die happy for helping create fair world. But just before my death, i'll take one more ride on my time machine, back to the medieval times, only to see if dragons really existed.



That what i'd do if i won the lottery.

Spoiler

You may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one...

[CW5X]

^What a nice guy you are. The time travel bit will be difficult though.

[Britfag]

I would invest all of my money into paying off others debts.

Only reasonable applicants need apply.

But with $50,000 I can buy roughly $1 Million of private debt (regular guys / families) and I'd write that shit off.

[Knexrule11]

Buy every member of the SS community a Son of Serpent

That would only use up $2,267,000 of your winnings

[-=TK=-]

I'd buy:
A Steinway & Sons Model D-274 shining black
A Boston Model GP-215 PE shining white
BMW M5 metallic blue
Ferrari 599 cabrio
A nice villa outside the city
Travel the world
Pay off my mom & dad's house, and give my mom, dad and sister an additional 5 million dollars to set off with

Top of the bill speakersets
Brilliant furniture
Visit a lot of music fastivals & amusement parks
Include my girlfriend, & my and her family in my luck

And many other things...

Oh and some guards, lawyers, advisers concerning money might come in helpful...
And ofcoarse, everyone loves charity funds

Any many other things...
And many other things...

Very important: make sure my scouting stays at the place it is now and improve the club's finances

-=tK=-

[WardCoastez]

i'd simply buy a theme park and a house to live in.
Spend some money on stuff my family wants.
And donate $1.000.000 to reliable charities
Save the rest for later (+ make money from people coming to my theme park)

[Turtle Man 24]

That would only use up $2,267,000 of your winnings

He probably meant only ones that actaully get on the site, lol


If I won the lottery, i'd invest in a bunch of different companies, donate some, and save some. And I would get one of them son of serpant coasters for all the active members on this site. Except gump since he has so much k'nex already
