Winning the Lottery and becoming obnoxious

I would be VERY obnoxious and see how much I could get away with. Power = Money

this would suit me fine.

Is this obnoxious?

If I ever win the lottery, I want to walk into a Porsche dealership carrying a gym bag full of shrink-wrapped 20s and pay for a new 911 outright.

Would this be obnoxious?

More or less obnoxious if I made it rain on the sales manager?

"Would this be obnoxious?" = number one in a series of questions Porsche owners never ask.

larry? 1.5 million. he got a check for 80 grand every year. so, you know, he wasn't CRAZY rich. but he was young when he won it. quit his job. bummed around forever.

I always wonder if lotteries would be more or less successful if they ran with this vision of winning. You know, not huge riches, but a larger number of winners basically getting a really good yearly salary out of it. I'm not sure abstract millions really motivate people in as clear-cut a way as it does if you tell them they could get all the money of having a good job without actually having a job.

Back in our hell raising days my best friend used to say if he ever won the lottery he would buy all his friends tickets to Japan and lots and lots of acid and mushrooms for the trip. It's still a pretty awesome use of that money I could think of.

As for me, I think I'd take it all in cash and make a point of burning it all live on national TV.

don't be silly, that's illegal

and un-american.

As for me, I think I'd take it all in cash and make a point of burning it all live on national TV.

Holy crap dual sitars played with violin bows @ 1:30. LOL "The Time Lords".

Woah i didn't know about this! Yeah i know its against the law but so maybe I'll hired a lawyer and take out a chunk of change before for the fine or bail or whatever. I just think if I saw someone burn hundreds of millions of dollars of cash on TV it would be the coolest thing I ever saw in my life.

Bruneauster's Millions

the KLF to thread.

they came to the thread three posts and two posts before you ;_;

Want to build a swimming pool with a huge window (like the polar bear tanks at the zoo) that has a view from my basement rumpus room. Mrs. kkvgz has roundly denounced my plan.

Build one in secret! If your wife gets suspicious about 'mysterious tall building in the back garden' just distract her with diamonds or something.

See, I also asked her about my plan to buy $100,000 worth of small diamonds - "just to have around and run my fingers through, ya know?" - and she wasn't having any of that either. Being rich is gonna suck.

like the annual salary lotto payout idea a lotto

xp: Tell her if she lets you have the pool house (and diamonds) then you will hire a 'hottie' (Hugh Jackman maybe?) to build the pool house shirtless and to sometimes take her shopping whenever you're in the pool. Everyone's a winner!

I don't want the see-through pool to watch myself swim!

Like this, except with sorority girls instead of bears, is the basic concept.

or maybe smashable inbred yokels

Hahaha!
I see...
Okay well if you are having sorority girls then you really will need Hugh to distract your wife while the girls are swimming. Maybe he can serenade her and brush her hair or something.

Aren't the KLF dudes doubled-over with regret now?

It would be cool to buy Action Comics #1 then have Homer Simpson eat it in front of Comic Book Guy,
but burning $1mil just doesn't have the same kind of thrill after seeing wall st broker faces watching billions evaporate.

Also wouldn't the treasury just need to print 1000 $1k bills to pretty much negate it? You'd have effectively just transferred $1mil to the govt for the price of printing.

Thumbs up for sorority bears idea though!

phi beta ursa hazing is just bears mauling pledges.

lol @ sorority bears : )

Yeah, if my numbers come in, everybody's invited over except LouJagg.

Aren't the KLF dudes doubled-over with regret now?

In an interview Drummond said something to the effect that occasionally he wakes up in the morning and thinks "oh fuck NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! all that money!!!", but most of the time he's fine with it. I don't think Cauty has ever expressed an opinion? Although in the "KLF Burn A Million Quid" book there's a great freeze-frame of Cauty where he's looking at a bundle of money with a "I know I'm gonna regret this in the morning" look on his face.

€169 million

Hard to think clearly about that amount of money. What does someone in France want with it? They already live in France, ffs.

i won £2.60, i'd like to say i'm happy with that but come on

169 million.

i think about winning the lottery often, though i've never once played it.

Probably better for your mental well being to win it often and never think about it.

i would live such a good life with 169 million.

or hell, even 168.5

a serious 6 month consultant-supervised healthkick, followed by a life of travel and study in complete luxury.

I mean, you'd probably do that for anywhere from 10-20m tbh

i think i'd want to own a bar or restaurant, maybe a record label. enough to keep me busy day to day. definitely do some study. get my health probs sorted by some pros. buy a massive fishtank and loads of suits.

prob buy an attacking midfielder for liverpool too.

yeah, a good bar would be a choice personal hangout imo. Get all the channels in, quality scotch selection, everything leather and oak, let no other fucker in. No more than 5m i'd say, in the current climate

i was going to wish you well but then i realised i was in the no other fucker category so i intoned an incantation instead, enjoy your curdled scotch, solitary man.

ah now don't let's get that way, there're lots of ppl who qualify as non-NOF's

i became obnoxious without even winning the lottery.

is there any reason to win the lottery other than becoming obnoxious?

i'd have my top hat and spats picked out before the first check even arrived.

check: your privilege

i think about winning the lottery often, though i've never once played it.

Me too!! Or rather I think about my mum (who does play the lottery) winning and what I would do with the money I assume, probably erroneously, that she would give me.

yr assumption is probably erroneous, or her giving it to you would be?

well now that I think about it, both!

I was just - financially speaking - going into the "the game's up" jaws of death period with my 2 grand overdraft and a grand just appeared out of nowhere! Further investigation revealed it was back payment of the disability premium of income support as my partner has just qualified for PIP. Love these Tories and their easily milked benefits system! Now gonna purchase some half decent £10+ Chianti and get back to being a happy feckless drain on society.

this is the kind of out-of-control idiocy the welfare system has unleashed upon our society! ps congrats to you both, the fuckers didn't make it easy though

maybe should have started a "winning the dole" thread.

honestly though, I feel like a cloud has lifted. A nagging sense of dread that has followed me for the last 18 months completely fucking gone! Amazing euphoria tbh. And she can get a scooter on the mobility scheme rather than applying for charity payments.

That’s great news, congratulations!

I won £100 on my first visit to a bingo hall last night and became obnoxious immediately so god help us if I ever hit the lotto jackpot.

all it takes is a couple of grand to make us into Tory voters, that's why they will be in power forever.

woohoo vino and takeaways

on my first visit to a bingo hall I won the national prize, which was £50,000

well, I was one of 10 people in the country who won on that occasion, so I got a share of the prize. Which I then split with the family members I came with (as we agreed beforehand we would do with any winnings), so I ended up with around a grand - bit of a drop from 50k but it was a p sweet windfall at the time!

first time we went i got about £15 iirc, pretty sure they fix it for the noobs

in the 90's I once got a separate dented can of Carling Black Label from the reductions section. When opened it was full of water and a waterproof tube popped out with 2 £50 notes in it. I know I was definitely skint at the time because as if you'd drink that piss!

That piss is most of my pisshead friends' piss of choice tbh

It's no good for the can in pocket in the bookies type pissheads that I used to associate with. You have to rapidly drink about 8 pints of Carling to even get close to get where two Special Brews and a bifta get ya!

excellent news calz

Contratz calz but astonished this thread has no mention of Michael Carroll.

Notable people from Norfolk

(... congratz that is, btw)

cheers folks.

"While living at his mansion, five of his Rottweilers were found dead with their throats cut. He paid the £130,000 to blackmailers who threatened his family. He said the men came with shotguns and said "You aren't so big now are you, Mr. Carroll?". He took off in his car and he never went back to Swaffham, he claimed. He ended up returning to Downham Market."

lol, "spend a little, win a lot"

It's perhaps a small mercy that we didn't have to go through this shit, my wife's cancer is deemed an automatic qualification for PIP, she didn't even have to fill out any forms, a nurse did it for her. After all the horror stories about people being declared fit for work and dying the next day we were preparing for the worst but it didn't happen. Best to you calz, hope this makes things a little easier

same to you CP. It seems there is a limit to the shamelessness of this government.
