YOU WON THE LOTTERY !!! - Page 2

wunhunglo · 07-17-2008, 02:53 AM

I'd probably spend $11.9 million on wine, women, song and generally enjoying myself; the last $100,000 I'd probably just squander!

snuffysmith · 07-17-2008, 11:28 AM

How about I lease a 747, fly around the country picking up G&G members and ferrying everybody to Lost Wages for a party? After I recovered, I would find some acreage in the Ozarks and fix/build like I always dreamed of and then buy a small motor home and travel the country visiting all you guys and sponging a free meal. OH, I almost forgot a very important part, my new Harley!!! Nothing is right till that's done.
I'd also change my name to Jones or Brown, something like that. LOL

More guns, a nice house out in the country, go to college. Invest the rest to make it grow.

SwedeSteve · 07-17-2008, 02:44 PM

Buy a chunk of land in the middle of good hunting and fishing. Put a cabin on it. Give everyone in my family $500,000. Pay off what I owe. Finance a Free Breakfast Program in two locations for school age children during the Summer. Host the Annual Gun and Game Schutzenfest with free transportation, accomodations, food, beer and ammo. Set up an Emergency Trust for our local Vets. Support FT Rich's Soldier's Day. Then Take my wife somewhere sunny and warm, maybe even bring her back.

USAF_462/2W1X1 · 07-17-2008, 02:57 PM

I would by myself a nice house away from prying eyes on a few dozen acres, a few horses and a nice pole barn. Invest most of the rest of it and take a few hundred thousand to build a HUGE gun safe like that one in the "Gun Porn" thread. Then stock up on ammo and invest in getting my class III. First gun purchase with the class III? B.A.R. baby!!! or maybe 2... a 1918 and a 1918a3 with all the accssesories...

Rye-man · 07-17-2008, 03:05 PM

Buy about 100 gallons of gas (I hope it would be enough to do that)

knightRider · 07-17-2008, 03:06 PM

joche26 · 07-17-2008, 03:51 PM

I would put a gold poll in the middle of my bed room......

tippmann7 · 07-17-2008, 06:11 PM

snuffysmith · 07-17-2008, 06:33 PM

I just thought of something else I'd do. Sent my X-wife a Hallmark w/picture of me on a bed full of money and the caption "Don't you wish you were here"? It would kill her or at least stroke her out. LOL (I love it)

stitchclimber · 07-17-2008, 08:03 PM

Pay off debt, invest and make it grow... I'd do something really nice for the people that have been so good to me along the way.

Then I'd buy some land, build a fort and gun range.

Then I'd travel the world.

DWFan · 07-17-2008, 09:43 PM

Buy the rights to the Dan Wesson revolvers from CZ Arms and get the rights to the Medusa cylinder design and build the world's first multi-caliber, multi-barrel length revolvers for self defense and hunting.

racdrof · 07-20-2008, 09:29 AM

New set of tires for my pickup

. Then I would buy 5,000 acres and put a 4,000 acre lake with "NO FISHING" signs all over it, except for my buddies. Put up 4 log cabins, for me and the family. Would have to quit my job, to busy in new gun shop. Would need a 25, 50, 100, 200 yd. shooting range. Donate to a childrens hospital. Start IRA's for my 3 grandkids. Whatever is left, if any, live off the intrest.

knightRider · 07-20-2008, 09:51 AM

i think i would start my one gun store , and sell mostly class 3 machine guns . Hell yea

Sooner Shooter · 07-20-2008, 11:34 AM

Buy some wooded land with about a third of it meadow (500-1000 acres) and build a "big for me" house and a really big garage/barn for boat, four wheelers etc.

Make sure my parents have what they need in their final years and help out my two sisters to the point of being comfortable. Giving too much to most people is a mistake.

I've got some camping buddies I see every year that don't have two dimes to rub together but are great people. I might do the 11,000 gift that the government allows on a yearly basis. I believe they wouldn't be taxed for this but I'm not positive.

Set up a college fund for grandkids making sure it would be used for college and only college.

My daughter is just now starting her working years. She's a registered nurse working on a CNS (clinical nurse specialist). I'd pay for the schooling $900 per semester hour but probably no money to her and her husband. Well, maybe something like 30,000 to be used for only fun things only like vacations. Her husband is a lawyer and is just now beginning. They are both very grounded and understand what work is and giving them a bunch of money would only hurt them. They would get plenty when I die!

Of course I'd want a shooting range. A 3D course for archery and a terrific pond.

Do some traveling with and without gun and rod.

Do some research on different charities.

Hire an accountant!

Capt'n Mil Coll · 07-20-2008, 11:45 AM

I would use the money to feed all the poor and hungry people of the world.

SoDakHunter · 07-23-2008, 09:13 AM

I would buy a city block and give all my friends houses on that block. Then we would just party all the time. If i ever got bored i would take a trip wherever i wanted... probably go find a trophy wife that just loves me for my money.

CalifgirlinOk · 07-23-2008, 10:55 AM

1.Pay all of the bills off
2.Buy a four wheel car
3.Give some to the kids
4.Buy a small condo and small car in Ca so I'd have my own place while I visit

rebel727 · 07-23-2008, 01:00 PM

Build a new house. Build my mom a new house and set her up for the rest of her life. Give my sis a few hundred thousand. Give my first ex a million. Send my second ex a nasty card. Buy some old original guns and a couple of Civil War cannons. Start my own cowboy shootin club with MY rules. Enjoy life.
