Have a PARTY

fruit bowl of cocaine and twenty of the dirtiest skankiest hookers that ply the trade

Get a full tank of diesel!

Got this in my email yesterday... seemed appropriate



A husband says to his wife, "what would you do if we had a Lotto win?"

She says, "I'd take half then leave you."

"Excellent," he replies, "I won 12 bucks, here's $6 now Eff off!"

90 million invested conservatively would get you about $70K to $90K a week after tax. Not sure if I'd quit work as I enjoy working with my colleagues. Realistically I'd probably hand in my resignation sooner than later.

Not sure what I'd do with the money though I'm sure Wind Surf and Snow would have a good month every year.

I would disappear overseas for my 50th birthday (which is coming up).
Buy my three kids a house each.
Then go shopping.

Finally pull a root!

That really is a donkeyload of cash. I think it would take a concerted effort to get through it. I reckon a lot of it would end up with charity simply as a last resort.

Have a seabreeze party in/on Maui.

Actually I'd wait until the next lotto is drawn, for 1 mil or so, and tell everyone I'd won that one, gets around a lot of problems. I've really thought this through, getting my money's worth out of the ticket.

I'd buy me one of those forestry companies that operates in old growth forests. Close that side of the business and begin operating in one of the already deforested areas. Of course that means planting the trees and waiting for them to grow first, so all the people would be employed in revegetation projects instead of logging!

Oh, and I would build kick arse MTB trails everywhere.

keeping a small amount for myself.......I would then line the rest up like domino's.. and burn the bloody lot.....so that others would not be tempted [}:)][}:)]

Work is still getting in the way: it's been green arrows all day and not a chance of any water time. Bring on the $90m...

Give $2k to anyone under 16 years of age who can plane out of a carve

That's 45000 kids that would take up windsurfing just for the cash. It beats having a summer job

90mil is ridiculous. The way I figure, 500,000 bucks is life changing for most people. Enough to pay off the house and thus be set for life.

When they have a jackpot that size, it should be 10mil for 1st division and the other 80 can be shared by all second division winners. That way, it is a lifechanging event for 100ppl..... not one person getting so so much.

First part I disagree. Most would have a mortage of 100,000 to 200,000, and if you set yourself a annual wage of say 80,000, that would only give you a few years of retirement.
Second part I wholeheartedly agree. 90 Mil is just downright preposterous, although I hold the right to change my mind if I win.

After the initial shock and subsequent recovery the arguments would start.

Who would be most deserving of gifts and how much those gifts would be. Friends and family would disown me in disgust that i didn't give them a deserving amount.

After spending copious amounts on a house that is too big cars that never get driven and hundreds of other over priced consumables that i didn't really need the boredom of not having to do anything (now have servants) would set in.

Serious alcohol abuse would kick in at some point and probably chronic drug use, remember excessive cocaine is gods way of telling you that you have too much money.

Soon after this my wife would leave me in disgust taking all the money, the dog and the kids as i had turned into a drug fuelled alcoholic paranod mess who has now developed serious health problems.

Eventually i would find myself wandering the streeets of perth rambling to myself incessantly and ocassionaly having periods of florid psychosis owning nothing but the rags on my back.

I am however willing to take the chance and put this theory to the test.
