1.) Pilot 10s. My 1080s are great for tricks, but I want something for racing.

2.) Better polls. I'm getting tired of my poll straps coming off the polls, also, one of them is nearly bent in half.

3.) New cletes. Last two times I've worn mine, I've broken bones.

4.) Air for my A5 instead of fucking co2.

Hey!  It's my lottery and I'll spend it how I please!  And by the way, the Cessna 337 is one of the most beautiful aircraft that has ever flown.  The U.S. Air Force made a FAC (Foward Air Control) aircraft out of it during the Vietnam War and called it the 0-2 Milirole.

I'd buy a condo in Chelsea or TriBeCa in New York, a condo in Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco,  a condo in Wrigleyville or Gold Coast in Chicago, and a condo in Paris as well. I'd buy decent car that was modestly luxurious and I could put a lot of miles on (a Volvo, or something). I would buy 5-10 thousand CDs and LPs and a very expensive stereo system to put in my primary place of residence. I'd begin collecting art. I'd buy a G5, an iPod, and a studio monitor. With the rest of the money, I'd split half between donations to charities and liberal political organizations and invest the other half conservatively, with which I would use the interest to pay my living/travel costs and donate more of the money. Oh, and it goes without saying that I would pay off my student loans, and travel a lot.

I would buy my own fiber connection and full G5 Xserve-rack :)
Then I'll put up several dedicated hosts.
Mb I'll move to the UK or Australia or mb even to the US.
I would visit lots of countrys and buy a G5 for everyone I meet on my journey that I know from gameranger.
On my server I would install all the mods and updates for several games so they can be dl'ed at higher speeds. (NO pirated software though)
I would also host clan-websites for free with a 500Mb or mb 1 Gig of space with PHP, ASP, MySQL,.... the clans would get a free subdomain: toxic.grclan.com
I would donate money to evill, so he can do a major upgrade, so we can change the skin of gameranger and lots of other goodies...
I'll also donate money to schools, so ppl can learn on Macs instead of pc's.
When I'm finally settled I will start my own 3d design company and hire some ppl from gameranger.
The rest of the money will go on my bankaccount and will be spent whenever its needed :D

But its just a dream :(

whats the amount you can win from the american lottery? or is it split into states? (cant be bothered to look it up.)

UK, usually is around 8 million on saturday and 3-4 million midweek.

but i would spend my win on, all  my debts, all my family's mortgage's and just generally spread it around the family, and some G5's for my friends. the list could go on for ages :D

I've seen the Florida and Louisiana lottery both get up over $300 Million.

Omg I would be able to build a lot of superclusters with that :)

Post by: BFG on March 08, 2004, 05:01:07 pm
300 mill US Dollars? Omg that is disgusting!

I think we should have a cap over here for the lottery - have loads more winners and cap the winnings a like 500,000... so like 16 people get half a mill rather than one person getting 8mill....

after all once you have half a millian pounds sitting in your bank, whats a few more gonna do... nobody needs that sort of money

I would buy Cuervo Island and proceed to make it my pleasure resort destination.  Invest in a small shroom farm for extra curricular activities.  Go on a round the world surf trip every other year.  Invest the rest to live like a bum the rest of my life and find a way somehow to never have to eat food that I don't know wtf's in it anymore.  Maybe have my own farm to live off of.

And invent some robots to go to neighboring islands and countries to pillage the shit  out of them and bring me back booty and booty.

     Assuming I'd taken the option to get a lump sum rather than annual payments, and assuming a large jackpot, I'd wind up with 20 million or so, of which Uncle Sam would let me keep about 6 million. G5s for my clan. A G5 XServe each for Bucc, Ace and Brain so we could have three high-bandwidth MP Servers. A 1986 Corolla GT-S. A brand new Toyota Tacoma. An imported Skyline. A house. Start a fusion-torch company and increase my millions by vaporizing landfills. Hire the two best financial managers money can buy and give them each half of the remainder and tell them to make the total larger.

First of all, Rapid, your post is grossly off topic.

Secondly, the quote is real. I just wonder why you would be afraid to cb us a second time if you beat us the first time? Hmm?


Moving on to something RELEVANT...


If I won the lottery, I'd buy all of the ISP's in Rapid's area and cut off his internet connection permenantly.

You know, I have been reading all these posts and most of you (not all) have been only looking out for # 1.  I think its important to give back to the ones you love.  For instance, if I won the lotto, I would buy my mom alot of great things, like, a top of the line ironing board and iron to go with it, a dishwasher, a new (high powered) dirt devil vaccuum and a new apron.  See, I am such a good son  ;D  ;)

Post by: *DAMN Hazard on March 08, 2004, 10:44:14 pm
I would invest half of it so I could retire at 16.

Then for the giving back part I would start a concert called "Rock the little town" and invite all my favorite bands and build a stage in our park and shit. Then I would throw a huge party. I would probably dish out some money to my shitty school so they could get macs and  stuff.

Oh, and every cd I have always wanted but couldn't afford. A bigger iPod to hold it all.

And then they would realize that you're too you ng to be an eligible lotto-player/winner, and would take back all of their money.  :o

I'd put the money in the bank and move to a Pacific island, take it easy y'know? Live off of the stock exchange for the rest of my life.. Yeah.

1. Pay Primus to play a birthday show for me every month, even when it isn't my birthday (hence the every month).

2. Build a big bunker out in the middle of the boonies, in some hick state.

3. Build a wood shop, metal shop, art studio, and recording studio in said compound/bunker.

4. Buy myself a used Russian tank, just to go tearing up in the very, very, very flattened dirt track I'd make behind the bunker.

5. Buy all the old-school FBI/AgT guys a G5, or another one in some cases.

6. Buy a ton of different basses, and maybe some guitars too. Oh yeah. And bagpipes. And a violin. Hell. One of every instrument, and maybe 50+ basses.

7. Buy a pack of attack dogs, trained to attack everyone but me. And I mean everyone. Except Primus.

8. Hold a big party for all the people I hate and release said dogs. Primus will play this party.

9. Stockpile various weapons and ammunition, cuz if I won the lotto, the Apocolypse must be coming, and I have to be prepared.

And, if I have any money left over, I'd buy Salma Hayek, cuz she's a fox.

I would open my own string of night clubs and/or strip clubs so i would not have to work for the assholes i work for now. Then i would put my girl through med school. But I would still work as a dj (in one of my clubs). Then what ever money is left over I would help my friends out and help wiggy move to the states like he keeps saying he wants to do :o ;D !!!!!

Oh and I would have the best internet connection money could buy w/ some xserves hooked up (and a pc for AA server) to host whatever i need.

Post by: Overthrow.aHa! on March 10, 2004, 02:48:33 am
I'd prolly invest almost all of the money and with the rest add a greenhouse onto my house, buy everyone in my family cars, and get a bond car with changing license plates and machine guns.

Mellow plz make that bunker in Iowa. It's a hick paradise and it's in the middle of nowhere and while your at it let me go to the Primus/Dog feeding concert and I'll bring some ppl and covertly attach steaks to their necks while their not looking.
