mollytristan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hi guys. what would you do if you won?
The Peeps Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'd move the e-mail into the junk folder.
ReZourceman Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Buy some smokes, ride some cows and rape some women.
The fish Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nuke all of Texas, probably. It's for the good of humanity.
Mokong Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Why specificly the Texas lottery? Would I do something different if it were the New York lottery? And something different still if I'd won the Euromillions Lottery?
bob Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It seems to me that this 'mollytristan' may have in fact already won the Texas lottery, and is so utterly befuddled by the event, that it has caused them to ask a European Nintendo forum what to do with the winnings.
Shorty Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Why specificly the Texas lottery? Would I do something different if it were the New York lottery? And something different still if I'd won the Euromillions Lottery? For starters, you wouldn't give over half of it to the tax man.
Jimbob Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Well, firstly i'd let the bloke who keeps asking for my help in transferring money from one account to another. I'm sure he'll need some of that. Then, i'd consider investing some in the purchase of tickets for the Illinois, Washington and North Carolina Lotteries. Then i'd buy an advert that explains a new "game" i've "invented" and post it in an EU Nintendo forum, like this one.
EddieColeslaw Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I would combine it with my riches from the my friend who's a prince in Nigeria. Then I would Be Rich! Yay!
Paj! Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I'd buy my way into the circles I want to move in.

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 For starters, you wouldn't give over half of it to the tax man. Is Euromillions tax free?
Shorty Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Yep, as is the UK Lotto. Not assessed for income tax, either.
Mokong Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Yep, as is the UK Lotto. Not assessed for income tax, either. And apparently not considered on social welfare payments in the UK either. I read a story the other week of an elderly couple in the UK (originally from Ireland too) who won the Euromillions but are still collecting UK social welfare (or is it pension?) payments. They bought a house/mansion in Kerry in Ireland but still live in England to collect their payments as they say they worked their lives there and are intitled to it I personally have this odd "fear" that the day I finally win a lotto or Euromillion jackpot (and it will happen, I keep havig dreams and I expect them to be showing me the future:heh:) will also be the first day the government start taxing the winnings like they do in the US.... the way the economy is going it really is only a matter of time Imagine: "wohoo I just won 15million euro" collects cheque.... "hey I thought there was only one winning ticket sold for this jackpot where's the other 7.5million?" Ok 7.5 is still a healthy sum... but still I'd be pissed if the advertised "jackpot" was one ammount, I was the only winner yet the cheque I get is only half what I expected Edited March 1, 2012 by Mokong
Twozzok Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I wouldn't tell anyone I know until I had it all sorted and stuff. Then I'd surprise my parens by paying off their mortgage, buying them a new car, and dramatically increasing their retirement fund. Then I'd set aside £500k for a massive vegas blowout for me and some select friends. Someone else on the internet had a brilliant idea. You send all your friends a cheque with the provision that cashing it precludes them from ever asking you for money again.
falbionanders Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I think you should go to the retailer and claim your winnings
MoogleViper Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I highly doubt people would give as much money to their friends and family as they claim. you get paid every month, how much of that do you give to your family?
Raining_again Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 If I won millions I'd give my mum and dad some money, and my sister. Buy myself a house, and a car, and the rest would go away in savings or whatevers... nice to dream!
Charlie Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I reckon I'd be dead after a few absolutely mental months.
Isabella8688 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 If I won the Texas Lottery(If I won the Texas Lottery) Well, I'd buy Peeps a whore (I would buy him a whore) And if I won the Texas Lottery (If I won the Texas Lottery) Buy him condoms for his whore Maybe a nice ribbed one or spermicidal And if I won the Texas Lottery (If I won the Texas Lottery) Well, I'd buy Ine a K-car So she could get that designer job And if I won the Texas Lottery I'd buy N-EEEEEEEEEEEEE If I won the Texas Lottery I'd build a tree fort in ReZ's yard If I won the Texas Lottery He could help 'cause it would make him hard If I won the Texas Lottery Maybe we could put a little tiny cage in there somewhere (We could just go up there and hang out Like, open the cage and stuff And there'd be kids laid out for us... with little pre-wrapped sausages and things Mmmm They have pre-wrapped sausages, but you still go to jail if you unwrap them Well, can you blame 'em?
