That said, if I did win - I'd donate most of it to whatever cause, and probably cover the debts of my loved ones - including my own.

Then keep a little for play-money, but I'm not a very materialistic person - so money only means something to me in terms of how much I need it.


Materialism isn't really the point. Unless you are Ghandi..you have SOMETHING you would love to do or SOMEWHERE you would to be. Share you lottery secret with me. It will be safe Smile

Look at the above responses..while a bit..not terrible materialistic..a library..just living on a boat..

What I want or where I want to go, has little or nothing to do with a large amount of money.

I suppose I'm fortunate to have modest needs in the materialistic sense, but then again - I do have other needs that can't be easily met with or without superfluous wealth. So it's not like I'm particularly better off.

I just don't go around wanting something, beyond basic needs met, that I can buy for money, except for the occasional luxury item or something to pass the time. But I know such things are trivial in the grand scheme of things, and I have what I need to gain access to them already.

Since I'm also highly utilitarian, it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense to me to donate them to people who would benefit much more from the money than I would.

You sound like a boring lover Sad


I'm going to sleep, by the time I wake up, I want to know what you would do with an infinite source of money for yourself and yourself only. Giving to charity is wonderful and in a way expected, but I want to hear what you would take for you.

You can live utilitarian..I don't even care if it is a top o the line shove to walk out into the woods with and build your new home in the wilderness of the western jungles.

I'm as boring as any good pleaser Wink

As for money, it would be a waste. But if you insist, I'll go for an island fortress somewhere, and I'd start developing games where I would do nothing but dictate designs and how everything would function - and I'd have talented developers doing all the work.

My first game would be a genuine evolution of System Shock - that would shatter the gaming world in terms of what has been done before.

I'd have to settle for love, and do without the harem of voluptious slave girls. Tempting, but love is the better long-term solution.

Oh, and I still reserve the right to donate enough of my money to clear the debts of my loved ones.

Good enough?

Very much so..opened your mind a wee bit Smile You still had to put in the anti materialism to try and mask it, but I do appreciate the effort.

Not acting on desire is not the same as not having it. The trick is to recognise when desire is a deception and will ultimately work against your own interests, and those of others.

Average jackpot winnings is probably over £4 million in the UK. I would buy a 4 bedroom house for myself and several 3 bed houses to rent out, a nice car for 20-30 grand and all the usual stuff... maybe start up some kind of business too.

Infinite money is completely different from a mere lottery jackpot, you can't change the rules of the thread right in the middle of it!

Put that shit one the bank and continue my life, I would spend 50% of my interest as long as it does not surpass 100.000 per year. If I ever have children I will tell them to do the same, we'll start our own lineage of rich bastards, I'd probably even put it into a shell company or something, avoid some taxes and make sure my kids only get the interest. Not only would this prevent them having to pay "succession" tax on the money; it would also make sure they dont do something stupid and spend it on useless shit.

I would buy an EVGA X79 Classified motherboard with a Core i7 Extreme 3980X. Also new watercooling parts. Id buy a third GTX 480 hydro copper card and a new power supply Laughing. Also Id buy a new sound system for my PC, Im currently using Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 which I purchased in like 2002.

I would start buying legit PC games (AAA titles) instead of downloading torrent. I would also pay for Showtime again so I can watch Dexter on tv instead of having to download. And Id like to pay my parents back for paying my full college tuition over the years.

Id like to also buy one of those super expensive realistic sex dolls (None of that porky paulina shit) for when Im not getting laid, which is quite often Very Happy Very Happy Always wondered about those Very Happy
