    So for everyone who lives in America and possibly elsewhere know there's a lottery going on where the winning ticket will get 1.5 billion dollars (930 million cash payout) so I would like to know what would you do if you happen to win the top prize?

    If I win I would keep half of it to myself and use it to travel across the world. The other half I would give away to my family and friends as well as a couple charities and maybe if I have some left over give some away to a handful of people here. :)

    Damn it @diamondslight you stole my QoTD for tomorrow :(

    As for what I'd do with the money... hmm. I'd first start off by setting up some sort of media career for myself, whether that be with music or writing so that I can continue getting money. After that's secured, I'd probably move my family to LA for a new life and just work from there. Rest of the money would be used for education costs, cars/phones (the essentials), etc. I like to be logical aha

    First I'll kick my boss in the nuts and quit my job. Then I'll buy an island where its always at least 25 degrees and go live there with my girlfriend and whoever of my family/friends wants to live there too. They'll get their own villa compleet with whatever they pleas.

    I equipt my island with anti aircraft weapons and let a submarine circle around it so no one bothers me.
    Eventually I will get bored and buy a Football club as a toy.

    Guess I've been living under a rock cause this is the first I've heard of the Powerball lottery.

    Anyways, What I would do is pretty simple. Pay off all the bills, loans we have then get a simple nice house + car's for my parents and younger sister and brother. After that I'd like to get my own place and do a dream of mine which is to build

    Once I've given away a shit load to the people close to me and donating money to every music artist I appreciate, I'm travelling around the world and when I'm done I'm building the most bomb ass music studio in some cabin in the middle of nowhere (I assume I'll decide the best location on my travels), fill it full of vintage and modern synths and drum machines and I'm never coming out again. If my friends want to come with they can. I can live simple and not care, so I'd most likely give a majority of it away cos I wouldn't know what to do with all that money and the interest alone is probably a living already.

    Oh boy, I love the lottery. My favorite tax! The stupid people tax.

    If I won the lottery, I'd just tuck it all away and save it all, and live my life as I normally do.

    Of course there's nothing wrong with using the money to better one's self, but I have no real ambition and I'm already content with what I am and what I have.

    It'd just be nice to have loads of money laying around. ^^
