I'd pay off my parents debt, buy a nice used car, and put the rest in several decent money market accounts and live of the interest.

Hey, they Cray XD-1 and XT-3 use opertons.  That's kinda cool.  I wonder if I could run win 2k server on it for some supercomputer gaming.  

I wouldn't buy an x-1 unless it was a -really- big lottery.  It's a custom CPU after all, which means you'll need to have software written for it.  And that's probably gonna end up costing you more then the supercomputer itself.

If i won the lottery, and because i´m a party pooper, i would hire a gang of thieves and lawyers to repossess all the goodies you guys bought with your lottery. I would then make a pile with all the stuff, and like Uncle Scrooge i would dive in it, and say "It´s mine!!It´s ALL mine!!" Muaahaahaahaa
:p

You can't pay me! I'm not going to do your bidding for money!

:nervous: So, like, how much? Can you pay in Australian dollars?

Btw, that model is almost 7 years old. You don't need the lottery to get that, just a loan. :p

If I'd win the lottery... Hmmm....

Pay debts away. Buy a big home. Get a studio going and my own production company. Invest the rest in a swiss bank account and live off the interest.

Aside from that, I'd fill a swimming pool up with chocolate and take a dive in it. I mean hell, when would you get to do that?!

I'll pay you in Aussie if you want...>.>  Although American money is a little more at the moment...:nervous:


I would need to win the lotto to get it, despite it's age... It was never sold here, so it'd have to be bought, shipped, have customs duty paid, be brought up to EPA standards, and hen registerred and insured.  It'd probably be cheaper for me to move to Oz and then buy it. :lol:

About an earlier comment on just getting loans: Loans are bad at the moment - very bad. Most of the "western" economies have entered a period of massive consumer debt, and that means governments have to try and slow us down, and that means high interest... and thats means you're screwed if ur already in debt.

Anyway, back to niceness;

I'd buy a small cottage near the eastern Border of Finland, fill it with modern techs and stuff and completely isolate myself from A) people and B) internets, just photographing and hunting and drawing and smoking weed all day long.

Every now and then I would visit my family and spend insane sums on inane stuff, like live cods and cheese.
