If you won the lottery??

[PieDog]

if you won truly mega bucks, like 80 million, or even 500k, what sort of stuff you gonna do? get? buy? build? invest in? etc

[mickclark]

I would be dead within a matter of months. I'd enjoy it though :D

[londonpride]

my mate is obsessed with the lottery, its his dream, each week he'll remind us all of his plans when he wins the lottery.

his plans are to build a massive indoor cricket place, bigger than regular indoor cricket, and play proper matches there, with big screen tv's and instant replays etc. fair play to him he's told all his mates they can quit their jobs and he'll pay them a big wage for doing fuck all at that place. i hope he wins, lol.

personally if i won the mega bucks i'd invest half buying shares, land and about 10 houses outright that i'd rent to people keeping a massive income stream coming in weekly.

i'd start my own top of the range gym and fight team.
buy loads of houses around the world, loads of nice cars and just basically live a life of luxury. be able to just work casually in my own gym living off of the interest and investments.

oh and i'd open a couple of nightclubs, one big mainstream club and another more VIP, celeb type place.

[CraigSt.Clair]

Buy some houses and land, get a big house for me, buy a gym, build a recording studio. Train and play guitar all the time and have frequent trips to America.

Oh and I'd buy a DB9

[AdamM]

Don't play the lottery, but WHEN I win a 6 figure poker tournament, I'm paying the mortgage off, sorting us out for cars, kitchen, garden, etc then it's just about a generally higher standard of life, rather than big extravagent buys.

Only when I've done all that and have sponsorship would I consider pulling out of mainstream employment and playing for a living again.

[illegalhunter]

I would be off to the USA for a life long hunting trip. Oh i would build McViegh a new Gym .

[NoGiCorbarian]

First thing i would do is buy a load of run down houses and fix them up to re sell/rent, make sure my mum never had to work again, then donate a cpl of million to the youth club i used to go to as a few years ago there main source of income the sports hall they rent out to people for 5 a side etc got badly damaged and is now un useable so that way they cld fix it up good n proper and start helping them self out again.

then obv the norm like a nice (not over the top) car/motorbike nice house with lots of land.

and i would open a top of the line training centre theres a brilliant building near me that would be great its got loads of space etc :( ahhh to dream

[thixty]

I would buy a massive plot and build a huge indoor skatepark for skateboarders only ! then id be charging all the skaters for a go on there wee emo birds !!! and id set up my own take away called the Untidy Kebab

[mcgovern]

I would build a massive water slide, and drive a tractor

[Plastikman]

lol at all those planning on plowing money into property in order to try get even richer...and in the middle of a global recession brought about by collapsing property markets no less!!

[RedBaron]

do what i'm already doing but without having to work inbetween! i.e. travel around finding nice women and good gyms!

[Romeoblood]

I'd build a house with a wicked gym, and a venue for having fight nights

Hire top coaches, and move them into my house

oh, and I'd buy a helicopter, just cus I could

[Jogs D]

Make sure I've got enough money to look after myself and my family comfortably without being too extravagant, before getting involved in charity work, using the money to help as many charities as I can.

By the way I'd arrrange for Rickson Gracie to move into my house and train me every day and fight every year in the BJJ Worlds, Europeans, Asian championships etc... :)

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

I would build a massive water slide, and drive a tractor

bwahahaha brilliant

I'd buy my sister a house. like LP, I'd buy a load of other flats/houses and rent them out [below market rate]

I'd buy a couple of simple holiday homes in Britain, nothing flash.

dish out a good few thousand to a good few mates.

bung Del a load of money so he can work on the Hit Pit full time

equally, I'd throw kainer a pile of cash so he can have his own show, but get someone else to doing all the running about.

I'd buy a shit but reliable car, one of those low emission fuckers.

get a wicked new camera with a lens as big as a fucking house.

buy a few smart shirts

a kicking pair of trainers ;)

it would be nice to invest heavily in a few MMA/Boxing/general sports gyms for kids in rough areas.

sort out some kind of scholarship scheme for up-and-coming fighters to allow them to train full time.

have a wicked pub lunch and get mashed up in the car park.

interview many legends of the sport and dig out some wild stories for a book.

i'm going to buy a ticket for tonight lol

[Jogs D]

If any of you did bag a big win, would you go public???

[d0ugbug]

lol at all those planning on plowing money into property in order to try get even richer...and in the middle of a global recession brought about by collapsing property markets no less!!

If you won loads of cash buying houses now is a good idea as they are cheap so you get more for your ££, people can't buy so renting is the option people are turning to a house I used to rent out for £375 p.m has now gone up to £575 p.m

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

re: going public

no fucking way. imagine the hassle. every bastard you ever met pretending they're your best mate.

[Jogs D]

Exactly.... However isn't there a bit of a dilemma here...

Most people would agree - definately wouldn't go public because of begging letters, threats, everyone trying to blag some cash off you etc...

BUT, as soon as you start giving money to close family/friends/loved ones, in a way you're going public aren't you, unless the people you're giving to can guarantee THEY won't go public - and there's no guarantee of that is there - unless maybe you get them to sign something legally binding.....

Also, if you did bag a really big win and kept quiet, I'm sure the press (especially the tabloids) would do whatever they could to track you down as well.....

[Sledge]

If it was the big Euro Millions I would totally go public so all my ex girlfriends saw me and regretted being total bitches.

Buy some nice big houses in a lot of cool places and simply travel from place to place.

Front row (inner circle) tickets for every UFC. So a lot of time travelling from show to show.

Love Jimmys idea. Set up lots of gyms giving free coaching to under privileged kids and training grants to young up and coming fighters.

Set up a massive British promotion and make Ian Dean king.

Set up a charity specifically to bring clean safe water to everyone in the world. Africa and Asia have millions of people who die because they have no clean water to drink. My mission would be to wipe this out.

And lots and lots of parties and hookers.

[Plastikman]

Yeah, but YOU have plenty clean water to drink, so who fucking cares. Right?:confused:

[mcgovern]

I f i won the lottery, I would look to send people in Africa, bottles of Iron Brew, a whole years supply no less.

[Matt T]

Yeah, but YOU have plenty clean water to drink, so who fucking cares. Right?:confused:

LOL, I see what you did there.

If you won the lottery and you have kids just don't tell Sledge where you live. LOL

[mcgovern]

hahaha ala E17 STYLEEE , Brian Harvey

[Grizzly.]

£500k probably the stocks when they hit a record low.
£80Million - Nothing. I'd just live a usual life, chill out and not worry about work.

[mcgovern]

I'd live a very very very wild lifestyle,
Heidi and Audrina eat your heart out,
I used to listen to you dont wanna bring arms house
I got so many clothes I keeps em in ma aunts house,
Disturbing London baby we about to branch out,
Soon ill be the king like Prince Charles Child, Yeah!

Yeah, yeah and there aint nobody fresher
Semester to semester, ravin with the freshers
20 light bulbs around my table and my dresser
ClC Kompressor, just in case that dont impress her
Say hello to dexter, say hello to uncle fester
Got them gazing at my necklace and my crazy sun protectors
G-Shocks I got a crazy don collection
Haters, I cant ****in hear your reception

Yeah (yeah) we bring the stars out,
We bring the women and the cars and the cards out,
Lets have a toast a celebration get a glass out,
And we can do this until we pass out.

(so) Let it rain,
Let it pour away,
We wont come down,
Until we hit the ground and pass out!

[BROONBREED]

If it was euro lottery numbers I'd amass my own private army and sit in a swivel chair stroking a white cat for approx 4 hours a day plotting the downfall of world governments.
I'd also do a fairy godmother bit and give stacks of cash to terminally ill kids and other worthy causes that you see in the papers/hear about in the community.

[Sledge]

Yeah, but YOU have plenty clean water to drink, so who fucking cares. Right?:confused:

Don't be pedantic mate.

Just because I don't care about a specific victim of crime doesn't mean I don't want to try to make the world a better place.

I've also been to Africa and met people who have to walk 8 kms a day to collect water. So your comment is totally not relavent.

But nice try.

[Plastikman]

Its not pedantic, you seem inconsistent with your view's is the point i'm making.

It makes it look like you were just giving it the big'un in the Murray thread, when In reality you if you were being honest you wouldnt condone his actions?

[Leesin]

£80 mil - Try to buy land somewhere good and get my family to build houses on it, mainly my dad and 7 uncles, they're all shit hot in the crafts, all done shit like carpentry, plumbing, electrics, brickie, scaffolding, roofing since they were teens, get them doing it and pay for them to employ all the extra hands, machinery and material they need and just give them all a mil each ( of course not the extra hands, they're working for normal wage ! ). Then I would sell the houses and/or rent them out. Would obviously make sure my closest family were all comfortable and had enough money not to work again.

If I couldn't get land in a decent place I would just buy up cheapest properties in good locations, do them up, then rent them out while I wait for property values to rise.

I would also invest further money into my family and get some businesses going, so we can make sure our entire family will be wealthy in the future, I got a massive family and alot of them have good brains and alot of business sense and common sense. I'd start an empire!.

Other than that I would buy myself houses around the world, security for them and bodyguards for myself. No ones getting any of my dollar. I would live a luxury life around the world, spitting on peasants.

[mcgovern]

i would buy a donkey

[JonathanFrakes]

I would buy an array of fridges, one for each day of the year. Then I would start a new thread with a new fridge each day.

I would stand proudly atop each one performing a facepalm of my own design.

This would be valiant, triumphant, august and puissant.

your carbon foot print would be huge, fuck it! it would be worth it, plus its only the Ozone

[jose969]

80 Mill win.

One of the first things I do, After the Lambo, Call the Sun and tell them I will bing £500K in the Help for Hero's fund to keep my names out the paper.

Try like a bastard to get my hands on the TVR Speed 12, and an Alfa Type 33.

Turn one of the numerous flash glass fronted office buildings near me into a sweet as fuck gym, Weights on one floor, nothing but bags and mats on another, load of Random training things on another, weighted sleds, tractor tyres, CV on one the next, Loads of cool shit on one more.

Enquire how much I would have to pay to get to kick Gordon Brown( Ol Winky McFuck Nut himself) Square in the balls.

[Luke]

Go to Thailand, take a few holidays, chill out and figure what I wanna do. May just settle somewhere quiet, out the way where it's sunny and make my own crops and raise a family.

[Sledge]

Its not pedantic, you seem inconsistent with your view's is the point i'm making.

It makes it look like you were just giving it the big'un in the Murray thread, when In reality you if you were being honest you wouldnt condone his actions?

Well if that is your perception then I can't change that.

I feel that trying to help millions get a drink is a totally separate issue to someone doing a robbery.

My moral stance on crime and what I do and do not condone is as unique to me as yours is to you. So you can't then link that to my attitudes to other global issues.

I went to africa and myself and a friend raised over £5000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. So because I did something nice does that mean I have to look down at every crime committed and regale how horrendous the perpetrators are.

There is simply no connection between the two things.

Repeating myself again I said that what happened to the family was not nice but getting away with the bag of cash is.

This is why we are human, for our individuality. I couldn't give a shit about bank robbers etc. Let them do what they chose to do to feed their family. Don't care about drug dealers as long as they are not selling to kids. But burglars and rapists I consider to be the scum of the earth. All are criminals and all go to the same place if caught.

Have you ever committed a crime??? I am pretty sure every adult has at some point. Speeding, shop lifting, assault, smoking a joint. All are very minor things but all are crimes and make the person a criminal. so if you have committed a crime you are the same as Lee Murray just on a different level.

Like the story of when a man said to a woman......
"Madam would you have sex with me for £1 million?"
"Yes of course"
"Madam would you have sex with me for £1?"
"Of course not. What kind of woman do you think I am?"
"We've already established what you are we are now just haggling over the price!!!"

[Bateman]

I would buy Swinton Insurance and then fire every cunt that works there .... and then sell it off

[James-w]

a big win like £80m would turn me into a bigger dick then I am now...I would just fucking waste most of it to be fair, saying that, what would you have to buy to waste £80m???? I dont even think you could waste that much, I would end up such a lonely bastard with shit loads of money and prob become very paranoid.....

saying that, big houses, the sickest cars, the best gadgets that you could think of, year round tan,

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

a lot of people have been saying you're quite paranoid recently.

[James-w]

a lot of people can suck my dick for all I care right now!!

[JonathanFrakes]

So, basically you're saying you agree with my "A Fridge A Day" Thread idea?

[featherz]

Much the same except my dreams wouldnt be fight gyms i would be racing in BSB within 3 years, first year in a single race series like the daytona 675 trophy, 2nd year 600 stocks with my newly earned national licence then supersport for one season all on top spec machinery...

Always been my dream, to race but you really have to have a rich daddy, or a fuked up life ethic of live in a shithole and spend all your cash persuing a dream, which would be fine if i didnt have a young family.

Would also pay for surgery to my back cos the nhs wont even give me a scan.

[Sledge]

My point wasnt that the two situations(drought and murray) are in any way related, it was that your reason for condoning what murray did (ie that it didnt effect you directly so good on him) should stand true in relation to other situations that dont directly effect you.

Otherwise, as someone else in that thread mentioned it makes you sound like a plastic ganagster, and personally(particularly after your noble intentions for your lotto money) I dont think you are really that big of a prick.

Although, you are correct in your final, but kinda unnecessary point; that most adults have commited a crime, which technically makes them criminals.

However the crimes you've listed(with the exception of assault, which will rightfully get you banged up) arent crimes against another person, and there is good reason why they are all viewed by the courts in a completely different light to what Murray did.
