Sold my s2k already, so in order to keep I would have to go back in time. To do so I would have to buy a delorean?

I always said if I hit it big, I would pay off all my families' debts including car payments. So technically the first car I'm buying is my moms 09 Honda crv then my sisters Nissan altima.


As a daily I would attempt something stupid like an aerial atom ll but then after the second deep freeze I'd run for something with a heater. And with f355 being my all time favorite Ferrari, I would daily that. Actually, I wouldn't have a daily. Is be like Leno and drive every car in the fleet. Different one each day.


Would the f355 be considered classic?

My ultra exotic would be f1.

I honestly probably wouldn't even own 5 cars to fill my 5-car gerage. I would have to make sure my millions are not just a one time income. Would hate to have to sell all the toys because I spent all my mega millions on candy and ice cream.

A lotus 2-eleven has a heater. The readiator sits in front of the driver.

I'm not surprised people blow $20mil lotteries all day then end up in the poor house. $20mil is a lot but after taxes and quitting your job, over time it's not that much as people think. They hear million and they flip out.

$640 million (what it's at now) is an entirely different story. That would be really hard to spend. It's more money than most movie stars. Granted you won't have the income stream of working but it gives you an idea of the lifestyle you could live.

The thing to do is to either continue work (in some capacity) or purchase/start a business that will bring in a revenue stream. I'd continue my business if I were to win, granted I would not be going in everyday, but I wouldn't "retire"

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
