What would you do if you won $3million in a lottery?

Platapus · 07-27-16, 05:00 PM

Retire and live a simple uncomplicated life?

Continue working but enjoy a much better quality of life?

Or would you take this money and invest in a business to make even more?

Well Mr. Ronnie Music, Jr., 45, of Waycross, GA decided on the latter.

Unfortunately, the business he chose to invest in was smuggling Meth.

He got caught and plead guilty to conspiring with his friends to smuggle in 11 pounds of methamphetamine. 11 pounds!!! Since that is normally sold by the gram, that's just under 5,000 grams.

Since it sells for about $100 per gram. I uh read it on the internet

. That's about a half a million. Not a bad return. If you don't get caught.

He is facing up to life in federal prison. Won three million dollars and is now looking at many years in prison. Yeah, good decision.

Pretty ridiculous. On the opposite end of the spectrum is a guy here in Calgary who won 40 million 3 years ago and donated it all to charity:

Who says you have to gamble to win the lottery?

"You can't win if you don't buy a ticket". Not true at all, my friends.

If you buy a ticket, what are the odds of winning? Something like 16 million to 1, right? (I know, depends on the lottery agency).

16 million to 1....so, in practical terms, almost zero. Almost. On a scale the marker would be so close to zero you would say, yeah, almost zero.

And what are the odds of winning the lottery if you did not buy a ticket? Zero? Au contraire. There is still a tiny chance you can win the lottery without even buying a ticket. For example, you could be sitting in the park at lunch and a ticket that fell out of someone's pocket could blow up at your feet. Likely? No, not at all, the odds of that happening are almost zero.

Just like the odds of you buying a ticket and winning. Almost zero.

But still possible!

And so, if I ever do win the lottery, when they interview me with the big check on live TV, I'm gonna declare, "This is great, I didn't even buy the winning ticket, I found it on the beach, under an issue of Mad magazine."

Retire, Oh hang on a minute I am retired.
Get some better medical attention.

I wouldn't do what Heisenberg did, that's for sure!

Catfish · 07-28-16, 07:14 AM

Three millions?

This is so riduculous. Why don't they make one million the max, and then give one million to three different players, with close numbers?!

What i would do with three millions? Lots of ideas

Pay the missing house rates, build a big garden pond, plan some holidays to where i have not been before, become self-reliant maybe with lending yachts, make a pilot license and build an 1:1 Etrich Taube replica to fly with, finally write the two books i never have time for, buy an Austin Healey 3000 in perfect condition and a Triumph Spitfire Mk. III in same. Get some Live steam model locomotives and build a garden railway, or buy a lathe and do it myself. Go sailing, North sea and round GB, then elsewhere, visit friends... i guess some shoes for the wife have to be included

Oops just came down to reality again

3 millions is about 20.1 million Danish kroner

I would give 6 million Dkr to animal(mostly cat stuff) and people(Homeless etc) in need

Then I will give 5-6 million Dkr to science-To find a cure or help people who's suffering from Tinnitus and Hyperacusis.

I will buy a little house far out on the countryside

The rest of the money will put into savings and investment, I will make it so I get a few thousand kroner each month and some month a little more.
