If you could win the lottery, would you want too?

SecretMaster · 02-02-2003, 10:27 PM

Think about it, sure you win the 10 million jackpot. But, most people have ruined their entire lives just by winning. Most spend too much and they end up losing it all. Others have changed personality, going from nice to greedy. I would probably do the same, and it makes me think. Just curious.

Hmmm 10 wouldn't be enough, I would need atleast 20

Aragorn The Wise · 02-02-2003, 10:38 PM

I would buy a house, car and furnishing for both. Then buy my parents a house and car. Then invest the rest so that I could retire really young. That's just how I would do it

10 million huh? no kidding, I would imagine everybody will claim to be my long lost relatives. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

wellard · 02-02-2003, 11:42 PM

I already have this one planned out

1) sex

2) drugs

3) rock and roll

and I would just fritter away the rest

I would love to win money, no matter the amount.
But on a different note, I seriously wouldn't consider it. I'm satisfied the way I am, and too much will tip the balance.

i think i would.... then i could be a student for life

Iron_Ranger · 02-03-2003, 02:30 AM

I would. I dont think it would change me that much..Well maybe a bit, but I dont think it would be the actual money that changes me..

I have been meaning to ask this question, and since this topic is already on money I wil just ask it here.

Do you think there is really a diffrence between 20 million dollars and 30 million? I mean there really isnt a lot you cant buy with 20 million, so whats another 10..you know?

Of course. I am not anyone else. It would come nowhere close to ruining my life. I think it would be one of the coolest things ever.

Vaskez · 02-03-2003, 02:17 PM

Yeah damn right I'd want to win. I'm bloody careful with money right now - more careful than I need to be so I don't think that'll change. I can trust myself.
