If I Won a Mega Lottery-My Life Would Go to the Dogs
June 9, 2006 | Gypsy286

Posted on 06/09/2006 10:44:26 AM PDT by GYPSY286

Sometimes I tend to daydeam about winning the lottery (I play $2, maybe 2 times a year). If I won, I'd of course help my family, friends and charities. My dream would be to buy multiple acres of wooded property-subdivide it and fence each section. One section would have a small lake (man-made if necessary)for those canines who love water; another a playground; one where dog-friendly dogs could romp together; other setions where dogs could run with their master. Plenty of kennels, a full-time vet, a home for abused and unwanted pets. People could bring their pets to this Canine Park, for long walks in the woods, agility games, or whatever. Would be a dog-friendly place for pet/family picnics. Romeo (my dobe) and would live on the property and enjoy our remaining years together. <>What would you do if you won a mega lottery?

I only play occasionally and would easily be able to handle the changes.

First year I would stay in my home, not spend much outside of traveling a little and maybe getting a new car.

I would be getting lots of estate planning advice and figuring what apartment buildings to buy so I could depreciate them and bank most of the income tax free.

If people found out you are worth the bucks, that is where you need to leave your home for one behind a gated community. You could become the target of a kidnapping as could others in your family.

I would try to collect the winnings and stay anonymous.

PS - I love my pets, too.
About a fourth of Florida counties will now permit owners and pets to evacuate in case of hurricanes based on Katrina experiences.

Easy: $3M to my parents. $1M to brothers/sisters. A certain amount to closest friends. Keep working for a little while, but with a bad attitude. Then return to college and learn something new.

I dont mind the "stupid tax" remarks - it justifies my desire to spend my time with dogs rather than people, lol.

"What would you do if you won a mega lottery?"


Do something to help kids with genetic diseases.

What would you do if you won a mega lottery?

Buy a large property (a minimum of 30 acres).

Build a house on it with a nice big media room/home theater.

Hire a few servants to cook, run errands, and clean up after me.

Retire from the rest of the world and do as I please.

Write a book about my abused childhood.

Go on Oprah to promote my book and have her gush all over me.

Hire a fancy, shmancy Hollywood publicist to plant my name in gossip columns nationwide. ("lowbridge was seen snuggling with Lindsay Lohan AND Paris Hilton at Club Underage Drinkers!")

Announce the beginning of my new singing career and put out a pop/rap album that no one will buy.

Announce my acting career and get small roles in several low budget movie productions that crash at the box office. Some dont even make to to the box office, getting released straight to DVD.

Spend all my money on drugs.

Go in re-hab.

Write a book about my salvation from drugs.

Go on Oprah to promote my book and have her gush all over me....

I'd buy Hyannisport, level it and build a wind farm.

FYI..You can't win the big prizes and stay anonymous. State lottery commission laws require public disclosure, to protect against the possibility that lottery empoyees would attempt to fix a prize..

That is dangerous.

You would think someone could be allowed to take it in the name of a trust.

I certainly did not intend to be denigrating in using the term "chick". His post and mine are references to "Office Space". Have you seen it?

No I haven't (and I'm not offended by the term "chick".) I thought it was assumed I was a "guy", that's all.

OK - just making sure no one was offended.

I would HIGHLY recommend "Office Space" as a rental. A classic! Make sure no kids are in the general vicinity while viewing.

Office Space
