You just won $10,000,000 in the lottery. What will you do with all that money?

[FunkyMonkee]

[Lliam]

I live on 30 beautiful acres of oak grassland with a view and have a comfy home in a rural part of Northern California with nearby access to necessities and also big cities. I LOVE my home.
We have a 24'x30', two story, steel garage.
We already have a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees, including citrus. We also have herbs and raised beds with lots of veggies. Everything is watered by a drip irrigation system.
We have a fantastic well and a storage tank that gravity feeds to our house and gardens. We have a solar voltaic system and propane.

- I would pay off my mortgage and HELOC.
- I'd spend a couple $million or whatever it took to upgrade my house and garage and making my home/property 100% sustainable and immune from disaster, energy and food shortages.
- I'd buy a few different vehicles for different types of use.
- I would give my sister $1million because she has helped me out many times.
- I would buy tangible assets like essential consumer items, ammunition, gold and silver.
- I would invest the rest of the money and use it to support my wife and myself though our retirement.
- We would probably do a lot of traveling and enjoy life.

My brother and I grew up poor, but we never knew it. We had mac and cheese, hot dogs and horse hamburgers. We thought we were lucky.

I would hand the 10 million to my investment advisor, and tell her to make me richer. (she's a wizard with money)

The ONLY charities I care about are those involving children. And my heart goes out to children who wouldn't normally get jack shit for Christmas. (I realize that the word "Christmas is offensive to some, but I doubt that a funky guy like you gives as many fucks as me about what the libtards think )

I'm actually a very famous wrapper. I just wish I could do more. If I had the money, I'd be wheeling and dealing with vendors to get tons of crap for the rug rats. That would be worth more than any vacation or object I could ever want.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm not the least bit religious but, Christmas is perfectly fine with me! FUCK the libtards!!
What kind of wrapper are you, a candy wrapper, Saran Wrap, shrink wrap?

[FunkyMonkee]

I'd see to it the kids got something, too.

[BuckCannon]

Give me some paper, tape and scissors, and I'll show you how to wrap!
Funky, I know you're a musician, but this is different.
There's a small window where kids believe in magic, and that's where we have to strike.

When I was a famous wrapper, I was just an elf. The superstars were the sheriff deputies that got to see the awesome kids and be the heroes.

[FunkyMonkee]

Did you ever play Santa at the mall? That usually makes kids happy.

[BuckCannon]

No, I was just a famous wrapper.

[FunkyMonkee]

I had two neighbors, when we were kids, that would do that in our neighborhood. They'd dress up like Santa and go door to door where kids were and pay them a short visit a few days before Christmas. One night, one of those guys came over to visit on Christmas Eve but he wasn't dressed as Santa. We were all upstairs playing around and making noise because we were just so excited that Santa was gonna come tonight! We were SUPPOSED to be in bed!! Mr. Gallo heard us making all this noise and mom said we were SUPPOSED to be in bed! So, Frank yells up to us in his Santa voice, "If you kids aren't in bed, I'm not gonna leave any toys for you!" We all jumped into bed and turned out the lights and went to sleep!!

[BuckCannon]

That's awesome. Santa is magic. I would like to spread some magic if I had some money.

[FunkyMonkee]

I wouldn't mind handing out money to people that really need it.

[BuckCannon]

I once did that, and I regret it. I paid $4,500 to the Thai mafia to keep them from killing my nephew in Bangkok. Shortly after that he died of a drug OD.

But I get what you're saying. I would love to help people who really deserve it. He didn't deserve it.

[FunkyMonkee]

I have to wonder if he took it or if it was forced on him?

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of something like, walking up to a legitimate homeless person that doesn't want to be there and say, "Here's $30,000, go buy yourself a house". Or, someone's in need of an expensive operation they can't afford and I hear about it and pay the bill for them.
A couple years ago, I was flat broke and living off the change I found on the ground at drive through windows at the mall. I'd walk up (almost 2 miles) every night around 1:00 and scoop up any loose change I could find! One night, I went into the grocery store there to buy something like a loaf of bread with the money I just found and there was a woman in front of me in line and couldn't pay her tab, at least not at first, she eventually found a way but, I just about told her that I'd give her the money and then I remembered, I don't HAVE the money!! I've got MAYBE $2.00 in change in my pocket!!

[BuckCannon]

You sound like you have a kind heart, and the world needs more souls like you. Every now and then I hear of the "power ball" being about a billion dollars. I try to imagine what I would do with that money, but I really don't want anything. I think I would just help out poor people. I can't imagine just spending it on fancy shit for myself.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, I do! Thank you! There's bunnies in the front yard and deer out back and I feed bread to the bunnies every day and apples to the deer if I have any. In the past two months, I've gone to the store twice to buy a loaf of bread just to feed to the bunnies. I'd do the same for the deer but, I only see them once every couple weeks and the apples would go bad before they come around. I wish I had shitloads of cash but NOT out of greed!! Just because I've been poor most of my life and would like to change that!! And, if I ever find myself with tons of money, I know what it's like to need and would have very little problem sharing what I have with others that need. There's a rich guy that lives near here, somewhere and, every Christmas, he goes downtown and hands out hundred dollar bills to people he passes on the street. I'd love to do that with or for him!!
Oh, if I won a billion in the lottery, I'd buy a few nice things for myself, things I've never had before and would be a great help to me but, I'm not greedy!! I think I'd rather have records than money! Lol. There all these billionaires running around who can't BEGIN to spend what they've got!! I figured out a year ago that all of the billionaires and multi-millionaires could easily see to it that everyone in the country could be given a million dollars and those rich bastards would never miss it!

[BuckCannon]

We think a lot alike. I wish I had the money to do more, but I don't. And I too would buy myself some things, but I really don't know what to buy. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, it's just that I really don't want much for myself.

[FunkyMonkee]

I would probably get a house sort of like Paisley Park. A nice big place to live, a big swimming pool, recording studio, instead of a basketball court, I'd have a record library, probably buy a record store like Jerry's, a radio station so I could play whatever the fuck I want and what I think people would love to listen to (there's SO MUCH incredibly good music out there that NEVER gets airplay and RICHLY deserves it!! (Mountain had 6 albums out!! How much of their stuff ever gets played? ONE SONG!! "Mississippi Queen"!!) I'd hire someone to make a keyboard that FUCKING WORKS!!! I'd have at least 2 pool tables in the house, a nice big yard, hot and cold running blondes and the letter M stricken from the English alphabet! (You gotta get at least one really crazy thing just to prove that you're serious! Lol, 2 pool tables!! INSANE!!)

[provokeesmokee]

Immediately hire a lawyer and estate agent, set half the money aside in a trust with dividend payouts to me monthly (principal is not touchable).

Then, pay off my debt, buy a house in the mountains, and work to setting it up so I don't need to work.

Then, buy land and pay off two people's debts before seeing if I can move friends out to my land.

From there, pretty much anything I want provided it's paid for my dividends.

I'll have $100k to use as play investment money and the rest of whatever money is left over will be used on building a life I love living.

[Sour-rose]

• buy a business
• get a finanical advisor- i think it's very good to do since I'm not that stupid buut... just to be safe
• invest it
• go take a two week trip in a state i've never been... to..

Wow, i feel like i already burned through it. Guess I'll do these with time in between to not burn it all

[OlderAndWiser]

Gift to my church, buy a home, retire, and enjoy a simple life with the rest of the funds invested.

[Pegases]

Ah, I like this question.

1. Pay off moms house, and tell her to retire.

2. Put 100k in a high interest CD for both of my god kids.

3. Pay off my house.

4. Travel for a year.

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee
Hey, don't forget I was just robbed of all my money! It would be nice if you could get the same amount back for me. His money paid for the groceries 😳

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, I remember and, I guess it would be nice!

[DryGermanGuy]

Buy up every last copy of „2000 Mules“ and destroy them in a public bonfire while cable broadcasting a documentary how and why it is the dumbest thing ever created.

[FunkyMonkee]

What is it?

[BuckCannon]

@FunkyMonkee

It's a documentary about how the libtards stole the election from Trump in 2020. It makes perfect sense that a German would be butt-hurt by an American documentary that doesn't affect him.

[FunkyMonkee]

@BuckCannon Yeah, can't have the facts floating around!! It MIGHT cause people to actually start THINKING again!!

[BuckCannon]

I heard that Trump invited people to his Florida home, so they could watch that movie.

[FunkyMonkee]

@BuckCannon He can invite me any time he likes!

[normalice]

I'd just pay off debts. After that... who knows. I don't like to speculate over things that aren't going to happen, to be honest. It's why I can't watch right wing media 😅

[FunkyMonkee]

I know, like, all the promises Barry and Joey made and never came through with any of them.

[normalice]

In real life they did. The problems with idealists on the internet are 1) often they don't actually want the end whose means they criticize, which frees them up to launch any criticism, even made up ones, as the point is to prevent that end, not achieve it, and 2) in a democracy, among those who take democracy seriously, progress can only ever be obtained gradually. You have to vote for it and then keep voting for it for the rest of your life or you aren't actually interested in using the levers of democracy to obtain an end.

Obamacare passed, and that was a step towards Obama's promises. He was delivering. But then the American people gave republicans the house because they were scared of "death panels" and "socialism." So it was that the American people said they wanted progress towards Obama's promises to be halted. And so they were. That's how that works. Same with Biden. He was delivering on his promises and then the American people decided they wanted republicans to have the house. So that progress has been halted. Wanting Biden to deliver on his promises against the will of the American people is called wanting a dictatorship. Republicans can do that but not democrats.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure they did!

[normalice]

Sounds like a (1) 😅

[FunkyMonkee]

Looks and acts like a 0!

[normalice]

I suppose that too, sure 👍

[Kelly6]

invest in real estate, buy houses and put them on rent.

[Kelly6]

invest in real estate, buy houses and put them on rent. but will not buy house by cash, get loan from bank to buy more properties, will only put 20% down payment. lol

[FunkyMonkee]

There's an echo in here!

[Kelly6]

elaborate

[Chayce]

Wouldn’t change much. Get myself a 4x4 & a 2 seater like a C3 Vette. If it allowed me to be able to train & do the things I loved I would though. Wouldn’t go blow half of that on a mansion or anything ridiculous

[catarecute]

buy migrants a house. or build hotels for the government to house migrants as well as feed and house all the homeless people.

[AmeerX]

But why immigrants?

[catarecute]

@AmeerX cuz i heard they are going through mass genocide in Europe and i want to help them survive.

[Sparkie460]

Well the government will steal at least 40 percent of it right off the top. Then I'd change my phone number. I'd pay off my house and all my bills. Buy a car for my wife and a truck for me. Donate to charity

[exitseven]

Retire. The way Bidenomics has trashed the economy it will probably take ten million to be comfortable.

[Andres77]

Tithe.

bills.

gifts.

save.

splurge.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why tithe?

[Andres77]

What is a tithe?

[FunkyMonkee]

You mentioned it and you don't know what it is?

[Andres77]

I know exactly what it is. Just because I don’t understand God doesn’t mean I don’t want to help those who can’t help themselves.

[Andres77]

Look it up

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't have to, I know what it means. That's why I asked.

[Andres77]

Fair enough, bud. If you know what it is then you’ll know why.

[smilelots]

pay off my house buy a new set of tires and share the rest with family and friends and some people I dont know that could use it more then me.

[FunkyMonkee]

I would do almost the exact same thing.

[KostasKouvalis]

Give part of if to my crush and hopefully make her my wife.
Spend the rest on travel and purchase a private island

[BigDog1989]

Give what we owe to irs first, then the state

then pay off my car

[Anonymous]

buy a modest house. and then save the rest. because really that's all i want.

[Staximus]

Buy a farm or ranch and tell the world to fuck off

[Anonymous]

Destroy my enemies

[msc545]
