Quake3World

Odds of winning - 1 in 176,000,000

What would you do with half a billion dollars?

Scratch that. It's up to $640 million...

If I won that much money, I would buy a very large mattress.

I would buy this forum and ban Poohard for crimes against intellect.

The very first thing I would do is setup an investment plan where I could cash out around 100k per year in pure interest. Buy an amazing waterfront house with plenty of land and a few exotic cars. Fund some game development projects.

I'd start a violent eco terrorist group based in a Greenland cavesystem bunker complex.

As if anyone would need to earn interest off an already massive $640 million won purely by a huge stroke of luck, lol

The amount of taxes taken out is very high and if you elect for an upfront payout you get far, far less than what you won. It looks like this payout would be $426, which is still a lot. But even that is beside the point. A lot of athletes, musicians, and average Joes who win the lottery end up broke as fuck because they have that same mindset. "$40 million? I'll never spend all that, why ensure I have stable income for life and a good retirement."

I could spend the fuck out of a few hundred million. I know myself well enough to know I'd need sound financial planning from the start.

old...I already won it...see u guys on tv in a few says...

Two chicks, one time.

I'd rent an awesome club and fly all of you there with drinks on the house. Then I'd kick you all out at 5am.

I'd buy everyone here some t-shirts and then not send them.

I'd buy shaft's wife some birth control pills.

I'd buy Willie Nelson's house and then set it on fire.





(Really what I would do is what bitWISE suggested)

I'm curious, if you took out the 400 mil or whatever you have after you win and just hid it in your own personal safe and didn't declare that money would the government be able to tax you on it?

Government only taxes you on income, not on your savings.
