Yoinked from Pernai who yoinked from someone else he didn't even really know:
So, I was reading Maxim at work last night (awesome magazine, but ew, Britney Murphy), and they had this article on Lottery winners. I've heard before that winning the lottery can be awful, because so much money and lots of people who want it tends to make things go badly.
Doesn't actually stop me from *wanting* to win the lottery.
So, my version of a meme, except that when you post this in your own journal, leave me a link. I want to see it. I'm not asking you to put this in comments, because I expect big answers. I want details.
You've won the lottery. It's a big one. You take the lump sum, and after taxes, you've got, we'll say, $200 million. That's a nice pretty number.
Presuming that you do not, as happened to the people in the article, get stabbed, get divorced and have to pay alimony, have your estranged wife sue you for her cut, or get arrested because you've gone insane, or have five million Uncle Bobs show up asking for hand-outs, what do you do with it?
Big arse house.
Sennent gets the 601 house.
Yukie gets her own place.
More furnature to fill up big arse house. [Mmm... Uber headboard! The Uber plush couch! <3]
Finishing college/going on to gradschool
No more Walmart for Kristen
Judy no longer having to worry about money.
Judy's parents get a nice payback for helping us out.
Dad gets his house. :)
Richie gets money for gradschool cause he's probally wanna go.
Probally blow a thousand on stuff.
Leftovers go into bank account/CDs/savings things
