Thread 82384731

The powerball jackpot went unclaimed on labor day. Personally, I have never gambled in my life, and I don't actually intend on buying a ticket. There is only a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning. The prize has an estimated one-time cash payment of $589 million if the winner doesn't choose the annual payments over 30 years, with a 5% increase each year.

Even though I am not going to buy a ticket, this is what I would do if I won as a 24 year old with a wife and kid:
>Do the 30 year dispersement (about 50mil a year for 30 years)
>Quit job
>Buy financial advisor
>Invest a percentage of the money each year in safe stocks, crypto and real estate
>Buy a small yacht
>Buy a nice, secluded house near the ocean, but not too near
>Buy a fancy dry sauna
>Buy my dream car. Buy my wife her dream car
>Get good life, medical, house, boat, car insurance
>Retire my dad
>Travel the world in first class with my wife and kid
>Kid gets to go to private school and Ivy League
>Wear fancy clothes and fancy watches
>Smoke fancy cigars with rich dudes at the local country club
>Eat at nice resturants, only buy good food
>Never spend it on drugs/hookers/gambling
>Be charitable but really only for tax reasons
>Trust fund for the kid

What would you do if you won, anon?

Buy a good house (but not a mcmansion) in a nice area away from my shithole, buy a nice but not gaudy or super car, top of the line gaming PC and precede to neet the rest of my days.

buy a shitload of weapons and donate them to maoist third world guerillas. maybe the rest on charity and heroin. idk if i could afford to develop a nuke, i would probably try to do that too tho. i dont rly care about luxuries otherwise.

>>82384731 (OP)
>buy 4chan
>fill it with feces

>>82384748
Good choice. I would also build the best gaming PC on the market
>>82384760
holy watchlist anon, don't you know this website is run by feds?
>>82384761
not a bad idea

>>82384731 (OP)
I'd probably buy the ultimate camper van or class-A RV, a bunch of land and houses for the family, then fuck off and live the nomad lifestyle for the next few years.

>>82384785
>buy the ultimate camper van or class-A RV
Sounds like a great idea, but if I were that rich I am not sure how much I would actually use it. Would probably get lazy and travel by plane instead

>get annuity option
>get financial advisor, accountant, and tax lawyer
>first year:
>donate half to charity
>move away asap, buy house in area I like in another state
>do online college and get as many degrees as possible
>keep rest away for rainy day fund
>year two
>pay pre lottery family debts (new ones are on them)
>maje improvements to new home
>keep some money away for rainy day fund
>donate rest to charity
>repeat until year 31
By year 31, I should be dead or close to death anyway since I got mostly my dad's genes and his family very rarely live past 70. If I'm lucky, my mom's family genes will kick in and I'll start developing dementia around 80 and die by 85. Also, I don't need nowhere as much money to live on, hence why most of it is going to charity.

If I won, I would pay for all my family's expenses, set them up with a few million each, buy a mountain home in the middle of alaska, adjacent to an untouched national forest, then:
>install long lasting septic system (so no plumbing needed)
>stock it with 25 years worth of food for four people in those emergency ration buckets with a 30-year shelf life
>2 million in 1 oz gold coins
>2 million in 10 oz silver bars
>2 million in 10 oz platinum bars
>2 million in Chinese Yuan
>2 million in Indian Rupees
>2 million in USD
>5 million in US ETFs
>5 million in bank
Then I'd go on a permanent vacation around the world. It would be nice to see Antarctica and the north pole. I would probably get listless and use any extra money to do casual political extremism, but maybe not.

this has made me realise how little i want and how much more financially literate i am than most robots. thank u op and thank u god

>>82384731 (OP)
Do you strive to be boring/normie as fuck on a outcast robot board?

>>82384731 (OP)
I would invest the 1.3 billion in scratch tickets to win more money

Good idea, would definitely get those as well
>do online college and get as many degrees as possible
Why do this? I have a bachelors and masters and would never go back if I got this rich
>>82384822
Nicely diverse portfolio. Forest home in the middle of Alaska sounds cozy too

Smart, then nobody would be up your asshole asking for money

How so?

>research some charities to drop a few millions
>find out they are all jews
>leave the remaining money (1,299?) rotting under my pillow
>die after 50 years of living the exact same routine everyday without contacting humanity outside of imageboards
Of course, this is assuming no one else finds out and comes to pester me. Knowing my mother, the money will be gone before I see it.
>oh, but we just have to help that family member I once saw at a wedding 60 years ago!

>>82384731 (OP)
donate to (((charity)))
open a most likely failing restaurant but figure out how to legally separate it from me financially so some dickhead doesnt pretend to trip and fall and sue me
buy like 2 cars

I'm going to have my ex-wife strangled by a hitman.

>>82384731 (OP)
I did actually buy a ticket because why not. I usually never do but one of my coworkers was going around the office offering to buy tickets for everyone or something. Regardless the chances of winning are so incredibly small that you could buy just 1 ticket and have statistically similar chances of the people who bought hundreds of tickets. As they say you have higher chances of getting struck by lightning than winning a lottery like this.

If I won I would probably hoard it away in a trust and put a good amount into high-yield savings accounts and index funds and only spend what I earned in dividends, which would be millions by that point anyway, far more than any one person could spend per year if they were reasonable about it. As others had said a financial advisor and other people would be useful for that but I'd get a cheap one, I don't trust a lot of those guys.
I would probably retire my parents, buy myself a low-end Corvette and a bigass truck, a new PC and a VR headset, maybe put myself through pilot school, do my master's degree, finally get a few annoying moles removed, laser my ass hair off, maybe start a couple low-risk businesses. Starting to prep for the apocalypse with more guns, supplies, and a rural farm property and getting stuff for that would be wise too.

I definitely would not donate until later in life, and even then I'd only do it in places where I could physically see the impact of the money being spent. And to be quite honest even then I would rather buy things for charities rather than just hand them money outright so it doesn't get eaten up in "administrative costs" or other bullshit. Ideally, I'd donate to my church/other churches, rewilding/environmental groups, maybe help out that one company that is recreating woolly mammoths, stuff like that.

Take the cash option and put it all on red

>>82384731 (OP)
take the money anonymously and change absolutely nothing about my life because people have been murdered/blackmailed/taken to court over lottery winnings.

>Buy a tiny piece of land and build a modest house
>Quit work
>Invest money into stocks, preferably hire some sort of advisor so I have passive income so my wealth doesn't just slowly erode

>Spend money on random hobbies like books, plamo, video games etc. and enjoy my life

>>82384731 (OP)
You know we gonna be eating good all day everyday
Filet mignon, fur coats, 22 inch rims that spin, escalades, iced out chains, ya feel me?
Honestly I'd probably never work another day in my life or work at some crap job where I can live like i'm broke. Never mention it to anyone, buy a used prius or a used civic from 2005, make sure it looks a bit like a rust bucket but works perfectly fine. I would want zero attention my way because it would literally mean potentially getting kidnapped or murdered. I'd live in the suburbs or closeby, i'm not living near niggas. I don't mean black people, i mean grimy niggas that'll do you dirty. They come in all colors and ethnicities.
I'm stockpiling on guns and pain killers.
I don't have an expensive lifestyle so after splurging for the first 3 months, I would go back to living like a neet.
I don't want a flashy car or a flashy lifestyle

>>82384867
>Knowing my mother, the money will be gone before I see it.
Yep, same here. That is why I would retire my dad and not my mom
>>82384877
>open a most likely failing restaurant
What food would you serve there?
>>82384887
>I'm going to have my ex-wife strangled by a hitman.
Jesus, why not just find a new golddigger that you don't even have to marry?
>>82384892
>I did actually buy a ticket because why not.
Hope you win, anon.
>high-yield savings accounts and index funds and only spend what I earned in dividends
very good ideas
>put myself through pilot school
Would actually be pretty cool then you can buy a plane or helicopter and fly yourself and family around
>laser my ass hair off
lmfao I feel like that would just make things itchy
>Starting to prep for the apocalypse with more guns, supplies, and a rural farm property and getting stuff for that would be wise too.
not a bad idea for the worst case scenario
>help out that one company that is recreating woolly mammoths
anon is going to cause jurassic world

>>82384862
>Why do this?
I would love being a lifelong learner, a d just having multiple diplomas would be cool to have. I'd do it now but I don't have the money nor do I want to take out a loan. I self-paid my grad degree out of pocket.

>online
I don't mind going to class since I learn better doing so, but I don't like the commute nor my annoying as hell classmates when I got both my undergrad and grad degrees. I got some certs using online colleges, and I didn't mind it. I hust hated that 80% of it was self-learning.

>>82384862
When I gave myself a sabbatical I hated myself after 2 months

Maybe I would switch to something more relaxed but I'm not one of those idiots that believe I can live happily ever after with my hobbies. There's a reason among all neets here there are 0 decent posters.

>>82384925
>people have been murdered/blackmailed/taken to court over lottery winnings.
This is a really good point, that is why I would move vey far away, likely to the west coast away from anybody we know.
>>82384929
>personal chef, physician and coach to ensure I'm in peak health
would definitely consider this but they would have to be female so they wouldn't try to fuck my wife and daughter
>>82384936
>potentially getting kidnapped or murdered
This made me think that I would likely want a bodyguard in this scenario

>>82384971
>Bodyguard
Personally that would be a bit excessive since we're not famous like bezos and it isn't like all the money would be with us at all times. I'd go down to the range, learn to git gud at shooting and dress kind of bummy. You can replace the chain or wallet, you can't replace your life.

>>82384945
>lifelong learner
You should work full time for a specific university or university hospital that offers full educational assistance. I worked full time at a university hospital and got my masters degree 100% covered at that university.

>>82384963
You must be one of those guys that needs a job to do to stay sane, I get that. Maybe you could start a business or something and be your own boss.

>>82384983
Yeah that is a better idea costs less money too

>>82384937
>What food would you serve there?
I dont know
I dont care
I just want a nice pleasant atmospheric place that doesnt have the worlds most "just almost" uncomfortable chairs where fucking waiters dont bother you every 20 seconds and bartenders dont fucking look at you sideways when you ask for a Mint Julep that doesnt have yellowed and brown messed up mint leaves in it
having near limitless funds to pay people $20-30 an hour and a big employee breakroom just to have someone go past the bare minimum to give a shit would be worth having a restaurant I dont immediately want to fucking leave

>>82385005
I hope one day you will be able to open this nice restaurant, anon. Sounds like a great place to eat. I would go there if i won the powerball

>>82384731 (OP)
I'd try it once in awhile, but you have to buy in person in my state and I can't be fucking bothered.

>>82385057
what, you live 50 miles from a gas station?

>>82385057
I live in the middle of alabama where it is not legal so I would have to go to another state to buy a ticket

I would buy the nicer meats and fishes at the grocery store.
...Well, not all the time, but more often at least.
I would also buy the snacks I like a little more often instead of just when they're on sale and about to expire.
I would give some to my brother as well for letting me live with him for so long.
And maybe buy a couple of fruit tree saplings to plant in the yard.

>>82384731 (OP)
>this is what I would do if I won as a 24 year old with a wife and kid
You've already won the lottery, what's the point in dreaming about this?

>>82385192
Robots:
>you won the lottery just by having a wife
Also robots:
>RRREEEEE WOMEN ARE ALL BITCHES AND WHORES WHO DIVORCE RAPE ALL OF YOUR ASSETS! DON'T GET MARRIED BECAUSE THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
Robots cannot ever make up their own minds. They constantly contradict themselves.

>>82385170
>I would buy the nicer meats and fishes at the grocery store. I would also buy the snacks I like a little more often.
Would definitely do the same.
>I would give some to my brother as well for letting me live with him for so long.
That is cool of you to give back to someone who gave to you. But it sounds like you wouldnt spend that much. What would you do with the rest of the money? Save it? Give the rest to bro?
>>82385192
I love my wife and kid, i just want to provide to them a fancy rich lifestyle without having to slave away every monday thru friday. I barely make 100k before tax it would be fucking awesome to be making 50mil a year without having to do anything. But it is just a dream. I am not even buying a ticket it is just wishful thinking

>>82384731 (OP)
I'd end up doing the annual 30 payments so I don't blow all that money in a few years like others do on stuff and dumb shit.
Still have my job, buy my own home within my means and live comfy in it. I don't wanna over spend on shit or live in luxury. But able to buy certain things like a new vehicle or home with basic standard of living will be quite nice.
Will definitely get a financial advisor. Move money into investment portfolio and the like so the money can grow in the coming years.

>>82385314
Good choices. Sounds like you would have quite a lot of millions left over though.

Honestly I am surprised that nobody has said escorts and cocaine yet. Seems like we have some responsible robots here. Minus the anon who wants to kill his ex wife and the anon who wants to fund proxy wars and build a nuke.

I am satisfied with all the robot responses. I wish everybody good fortune and I hope you all are successful in your future endeavors. Good night friens

>>82385406
good night fren dont let the bed bugs bite

>>82385342
I honestly just want to move out of my parents house especially living in this very room I grew up in thats so small...I would maybe add in traveling the world since I do have a passport and go see bands that don't visit here stateside. In a way, I think everyone in this thread would probably agree with me in wanting to 'break the cycle" honestly. And I hope who ever wins the money does need it.

First things first buy a midnight blue rickenbacker 4003 like Haruko, replace all of my worn down stuff(furniture, clothes, car), get a personal trainer who plans my meals, get a financial planner so I can live off passive income and be a hyperneet. Also I would buy guns sure, stupid stuff like a FAMAS or WA2000. There are lots of places I would like to visit, like Valley of the Headless Men, Lake Baikal, Japan obviously. Also I would buy stupid looking suits like Saul Goodman and annoy my friends and family by randomly showing up at their work or while they're doing important things and rub their wagie status in their nose. They would not get any money from me either unless they needed something serious like cancer treatment. The crazy thing is though I'm already a NEET, my day to day wouldn't change much aside from having money to get out more and buy nicer things. I'd just go to the gym and spend time on my hobbies like I do now.

>>82384731 (OP)
lawyers and security
give money to friends and family

>>82385239
You're making the false assumption that every robot is one and the same, we all share the same opinions. It is like how there are women who are absolute gold diggers, they don't care, they just want money and to be spoiled and then there are women who get pregnant by a drug addict who is in and out of jail or homeless. Women aren't all the same.

>>82384731 (OP)
Bait strangers into fistfighting me then hire the best lawyers to twist the facts in my favor. Countersue for the entire net worth.

>>82384731 (OP)
Quit my job INSTANTLY
Invest a few milly into CSPX/ETFs
Rest in Savings Accounts spread across many, many banks
Move out permanently

Spend the rest of my days animating and doing art/3D stuff to my leisure

>>82384731 (OP)
Invest in gold, and in businesses on the up. Fiat money is an ever-devalued scam.
Transplant my hermit NEET life from a shitty apartment to a fancy low-maintenance condo.
Eat well, but use a home gym. Fuck escorts. Have nice clothes, but stay very low key.
Give some money to my two friends. Sadly, my close family are already dead.
Would give some money to my distant family, but only if they don't fuck me out of my late mother's cut of a future house sale.
Donate to nationalist and anti-globalist groups. Donate to charities (children, cats, heart, addiction recovery).
Would be tempting to have children and eventually split the fortune between them. I doubt I'd find a worthy non-golddigger mother for them though.
Finally learn to drive. Enjoy track days in supercars. Get hair plugs, because fuck it. Basically live the luxury of an endgame GTA Online character. kek
Instead, I'll rot as a NEETcel for the rest of my days. FML.

>>82386442
Could solve the gold digger problem with hoes, surrogates and nannies

>>82384731 (OP)
start my own game studio

I would start a foundation that helps young American men, not black, find there way in life. This could be free gym memberships, free scholarships, free apprenticeships for trades, anything that helps men become better men. Maybe mma gyms for free. Help buying a vehicle if you meet goals like go to a Muay Thai gym for a year. Guides on how to fish and stuff like that. I repeat, no women or black people will be helped

Get as many passports as possible. The shares/linked funds sound good but would need to be deliberately spread across all possible jurisdictions.

I'd build massive sustainable businesses/communities in BS countries. Farms, low tech production, living spaces, construction, eco friendly energy.

I'd have dozens of wives and 100s of children in legally favourable jurisdictions.

Spend my days improving the farms, being a benevolent ruler over my communities, encouraging grass roots creatives/makers and enjoying an idyllic lifestyle.

Leave the rest to the kids or something who cares

>>82387432
also employ my mates in my companies on better than average wages so that they can hang out with me.

>>82384731 (OP)
I would pay for a lot of male NEETs' rent, utilities and groceries, no strings attached.

>>82384731 (OP)
I would take the lump sum and invest it all in the asset allocation I currently do. id probably try to buy the house I grew up in. maybe something fun like try to open up a restaurant. I'm not sure what I would do, I was on unemployment last year for like 4 months and I got really bored.

Spend all of it organizing unions and regulations in Jewish and foreign owned corporations.

>>82384731 (OP)
Buy a flat in Monaco and move there. My lifestyle is pretty frugal so won't need stuffs like yachts or luxury cars. Instead invest all the left money in index fund. Keep reinvesting the dividends. Won't spend a single penny on vices like drugs, alcohol, gambling, roasties etc.
