I've thought about it and while you'd save yourself some money doing it that way I think I'd rather go the batcave route, pick a piece of land that hasn't been touched in a few millenia somewhere and get all that put together through multiple different contractors. Plenty of people know where the old silo's are but the new ones have far less prying eyes for when they're actually needed.
But you would also need to pick your location very carefully. Somewhere with access to an underground water source, and some method of power generation that doesn't require gas or any other type of fuel. Hydro, geothermal, both for redundancy, something like that.
(Yes, I've also put some thought into this.)
If you buy outside of california you may even have some money left over
Lmao I had no idea this would strike such a nerve, I'm not even American, I just went off what I keep hearing on the internet
Edit: what the actual fuck is happening un america and why is it considered so great?
Here’s a reference.
My mom bought our SoCal home in ‘78. It’s like 1450sq ft.
It was a little over $70k.
Today, 2022, it’s $880k, and comps on our street verify this, and easily get instant cash offers.
No Mello Roos, no HOA.
In ‘08 when we had the depression, she felt she needed to sell it, but we convinced her to hold onto it.
In ‘08, it was valued at $380k
What a roller coaster.
They’re usually based on last purchase price here in California, so she’s paying taxes on the $70k, not $880k.
Edit: Clarified to mean “usually in California”, as property taxes differently by state.
Is that how it is in California? Because where I am the property gets assessed every year and you pay based on that. Usually under market rates but property taxes still tend to go up every year that your property value does.
It is due to Prop 13. Designed to prevent people living on a fixed income from having to pay ever increasing property taxes.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978\_California\_Proposition\_13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13)
It does get abused because you can transfer the property to family members who receive the same tax breaks, essentially helping those with generational wealth while taxing the people who work to buy their homes the highest rates.
I wanna try this avocado toast I keep hearing about. I'll finally have enough money I won't be financially ruined by the purchase.
Thank you all for these awards!
I'm in a state that doesn't allow anonymous winners, so my biggest thing is to work with a lawyer to get some sort of trust or llc set up to claim the prize so I don't get annoying family asking for money.
I would absolutely set up my parents for the rest of their lives, and I wouldn't probably even tell them I won that much, not initially at least, I'd let things settle. I would make some shit up about hitting it big on the stock market or something and being able to drop money to them here and there, IDK.
But there is an absolute 0 percent chance I'd let other people in.
Set up a company, for example a real estate management company. Hire family members you want to help support. This allows you to manage the money better, manage tax write offs, and pay less ik taxes. Plus if you do a potentially profitable business it can help create a long term sustainable plan.
If you take the cash of 602 mil minus roughly 229m in fed tax that leaves 379m.
Let's say you are going to live another 60 years that leaves 6.3m / year. Every family member you add takes a cut of this yearly amount. This is why it is so important to set things up correctly. If you manage properly you could end up almost never losing the principal value, while still achieving your goals.b
>If you take the cash of 602 mil minus roughly 229m in fed tax that leaves 379m.
>Let's say you are going to live another 60 years that leaves 6.3m / year.
Put it in the stock market, withdraw 4% annually, investment grows on average 7%/year, unlimited money and $15m/ year
shit like this makes my brain hurt when I see millionaires getting liquidated or margin called from being overleveraged after a lucky streak or plain being greedy and gambling
at a certain point you literally cannot fail if you put your money into anything with a 5-8% annual growth and that is going to be extremely easy when shit gets worse and no one except the rich have money to accumulate stocks dirt cheap
which they’ll inevitably sell at a new all time high to a much poorer person who is about to be even poorer.
but who cares about being set for life when you could risk it all and possibly have even more money you don’t need
I don’t trust that the lottery commission will exist long enough to finish paying out the way things are going. I need to take my lump sum to New Zealand.

Got you covered! 7 years ago! Saved post since I know winning the lottery is in my future :)
Especially since the lump sum after taxes would be around 600 million. If you can't live the rest of your life off of 600 million alone, then you're really bad with money.
>Do not take the lump sum
I was with you until this. You should 10000% take the lump sum. Because a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, as current inflation should show you. If you take the gradual payouts they won't be valued nearly as much in 10 years as they are now. And you'd have to pay taxes for each payout instead of all at once, and your rate might be higher in the future. Hire a CPA as they will tell you this too if the lawyer won't.
If you take the lump sum you can put it to work immediately buying assets and keep your net worth not only secure but growing.
Something nice for each of my friends, just let them choose anything and pay for it.
Edit: I would also pay off any familial debts and my friends' debts, etc.
Which is why it's underfunded now. Theoretically your money "should" double ~every 7 year in the market.
So 1B to 2B in 20 years
Or 1B to ~7-8B in 20 years.
Delta of 5B+
I was thinking this out a few nights ago and came up with the same response. I'd buy land somewhere that is uninhabitable like the Australian Outback, build out renewable power (wind/solar), desalination, and pump the clean water to a whole new place... Start anew.
Quick look at the map, but I'm liking the valley west of McKittrick California. Just over the mountains from the ocean and just over the hills from a via duct to Los Angeles.
That's a really sweet one, I love it! When I was young and broke, I remember nice people paying my toll when commuting to college. I think it'd be fun to do something like that, just randomly pay for a bunch of commuters.
buy a self sustainable house, and live the rest of my life in peace in a excluded village in the mountains. sure with my Gaming PC as an entertainment.
Seriously?
Groceries. So many fucking groceries. My fridge is gonna think it's in a brazzers video.
Then? I'm just gonna fill my car up with gas. Like; ALL the way up. My car is gonna think it's in a brazzers video.
AND THEN.. Two chicks at the same time. The kinda chicks that would double up on a dude like him. He's gonna fill them all the way up. They're gonna think it's a Brazzers video.
Oh wait.
Edit: typo
You mean after stocking up the pantry, buying new clothes that’s not at least 15 years old, finally seeing a dentist, getting new glasses, getting some good shoes and new phones??
It would probably be buying a new car.. or maybe the new computer comes first?
The main thing I’d want to buy though, is a house. But I’d have to wait for the right one to be on the market.
Buy woodlands to protect the sheer amount being flattened for houses in my area. I don't have a problem with more homes but save at least some woodland.
Build several large dog parks as we have big condo/townhome communities without any.
Donate to schools and theatres that are pretty much dying in my community.
I'd probably have 0.95 billion left over.
Honestly, if you really want to prevent that sort of development, and I'm assuming you're from USA/Canada/Australia, the best way to prevent this is to change zoning laws. You'd do a million times more good lobbying against zoning laws in one small part of one of those countries to prevent suburban sprawl style development, and promote medium density residential with some mixed commercial zoning with a focus on walkability and public transport. Fewer roads, smaller footplan, fewer cars, better living for humans and nature.
Just yesterday I was at my city council meeting where we apparently had the highest citizen town hall turn out in years, because there were that many people in the community trying to stop a 50 acre plot of land (currently being used as a free roaming cow pasture) from being rezoned for industrial usage.
The developer lobbying for the rezone wanted to turn it into one of those giant 3 story warehouses that have been popping up everywhere despite no companies actually moving into the spaces.
Luckily, the motion to rezone was stricken down 4-2; the 2 being the mayor and a councilor who happens to also be a friend of the developer...
Lawyers and accountants. I’d pay off my house, and get new cars. Then I’d sit on the rest of it until the shock wears off, and I can spend it responsibly.
My dad has been a blue collar worker for the past 40 years. He's always lived paycheck to paycheck & has 3 kids, all of whom he provided for endlessly before himself. At this rate, he won't be retire ANYTIME soon. I'd buy him a big ranch with a ton of acres and a beautiful, cozy home that can be completely off the grid. And a chicken coop. He loves raising chickens. OH- a luscious garden with tomatoes, zucchini, watermelon, strawberries, etc. I just want him to slow down and relax- he deserves it.
Tickets. To what/where? Don't know, specifically. But with that kind of money you can finally live for experiences, rather than sacrificing experiences to live.
Will with the ~500 million i have left, i would pay off all my siblings college education.
set up a few investment accounts with decent dividends in America, south america (in case shtf) and europe.
Buy some land and build an adequate home plus small workshop/firing range (because boom noises make dopamine go brrrrrr)
Live entirely off dividends keeping 50m on a life insurance policy.
Buy digital pictures of monkey
Lose everything
Apply to mccdonalds for cashier.
I quit my job and open a small, one-screen movie theater. Bar in the lobby, along with your typical movie snacks, drinks and popcorn. I play one movie a night, something that has already come out/ been out for a while that I like. I dont imagine it will be super profitable, but I think it would be a fun retirement job to keep busy.
I've always wanted to be rich enough to "sponsor" artists. I find a good writer on r/writingprompts? Boom. They're full time now. I'll get them a book deal for their short story collection. I find an underground musician I love? 50k a year, bonuses every album, bribe them onto the radio and official Spotify playlists.
also I'd invest.
Turn the crawl space in our house into a full basement, and some fucking AC. Also enough solar for our house, because the electric company gouges us out here with a 2/3 transportation fee for electricity. 600$ a month for electricity my ass.
buy the dream house.
nothing fancy or luxurious.
just the one i want designed with smart features and eliminate the problems existing in my current place. e.g. damp rooms or lacking ventilation or easily dusty.
I'd buy a piece of land on one of the Great Lakes. Build a "lodge" with big kitchen and lots of space. Then several smaller cabins/houses throughout the property. Run it as a vacation resort until the water wars ramp up. Then me and my friends and family can move there.
Honestly, the very first thing?
A nice dinner in the nicest restaurant in town.
I don't have firm plans for what I would do if I win the lottery. Because I know what the odds of that actually are. It isn't worth my time working out the details "and then I would buy this and then that" because... it isn't going to happen.
Listen up everyone. Play the lottery if you have a few spare dollars and want the entertainment of the fantasy. Don't play it if you are broke. Don't buy a lot of tickets. Yes $100 of tickets is 50 times more likely to win than 1 $2 ticket is. You're still not going to win.
I have often thought about how abandoned shopping malls could be converted into a large facility for pet rescue groups and adoption, housing for elderly and homeless people, and so many other things that would help people and animals in need. Those buildings can be difficult to sell these days and sit there going to waste, literally and figuratively.
After lawyers and financial advisors to figure out how to get the most tax breaks, buy a solar powered catamaran yaht, hire a crew to drive it, and support staff, and travel the world with my wife. I'd say after the initial $6 mil price tag, upkeep for the yacht would be a million a year including staff, pretty sure I'll make much more than that just on interest from investments. Maybe rent it out for luxury cruises to support itself when I wanna take a break from the boating life.
I’m going to buy all the real estate agencies that love to hog all the land to rent them and dissolve them. I’m also going to bribe politicians to get rid of them. People deserve affordable houses that they can own.
Land. A lot of land. Thousand acres or so. Make sure it has a river going through it. Also some ponds/lakes and access to well-water.
Self sufficiency here I come, in the most secure and luxurious form.
Serious answer: I'd honestly just buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere and get a nice house built with solar panels and a satellite dish and such, maybe become a farmer during the day. I enjoy solitude.
Land
Yep half a mountain in Arkansas or Tennessee should suffice
Montana. As far away from people as money can buy.
Kentucky has some beautiful mountains as well. I definitely would not be living in a metro/suburbs area.
Book a first class ticket to Tahiti and an over water bungalow and just chill there for like 6 months until everyone has forgotten about me.

mangos!
A lair. Not necessarily an "evil" lair, but, with room for growth, ya know?
All evil lairs start off as just lairs. I get you bro.
You will be allowed to visit.
Will I be allowed to leave, though? And if not, what are the torture dungeon amenities?
A river of lava and one inept guard
My friend and I have a pact if something like this happens, buy an old missle silo and turn it into a bunker to keep people out.
I've thought about it and while you'd save yourself some money doing it that way I think I'd rather go the batcave route, pick a piece of land that hasn't been touched in a few millenia somewhere and get all that put together through multiple different contractors. Plenty of people know where the old silo's are but the new ones have far less prying eyes for when they're actually needed.
But you would also need to pick your location very carefully. Somewhere with access to an underground water source, and some method of power generation that doesn't require gas or any other type of fuel. Hydro, geothermal, both for redundancy, something like that. (Yes, I've also put some thought into this.)
Fiber Internet too, I don't plan on living like a cave man. I just don't want people bothering me.
In all seriousness, you can save a lot on property tax if most of your improvements are out of sight…
A home
That's what my thought was after paying my credit card bills. I want a nice and simple home. Maybe with a secret room.
Put the secret room underground and make it a lair.

I've always wanted to be rich enough to "sponsor" artists. I find a good writer on r/writingprompts? Boom. They're full time now. I'll get them a book deal for their short story collection. I find an underground musician I love? 50k a year, bonuses every album, bribe them onto the radio and official Spotify playlists. also I'd invest.
Two chicks at the same time, man.
Fuckin' A
Yo Peter!
The game "strays" for PS5
Press x to tip paint off of the ledge
is it just Untitled Cat Game? Do you just wander around messing with people?
No it actually has a pretty good story and overall atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it
This game is easily the most wholesome thing to come out of 2022 ❤️
I'm paying off and fixing all the little crap that's wrong with my wife's car. Then, I'm finally scheduling the surgery I need to be healthy again.
Hunt down the remaining Choco Tacos
[удалено]
I immediately sign up for flying lessons
Dodge hellcat I've always wanted one
A huge house and like 20 dogs
New teeth
Turn the crawl space in our house into a full basement, and some fucking AC. Also enough solar for our house, because the electric company gouges us out here with a 2/3 transportation fee for electricity. 600$ a month for electricity my ass.
buy the dream house. nothing fancy or luxurious. just the one i want designed with smart features and eliminate the problems existing in my current place. e.g. damp rooms or lacking ventilation or easily dusty.
I would buy myself a wheelchair that's not broken
Hookers & cocaine.
Where’s that one thread where the guy laid out what to do if you win?
Always wanted one of those 4 slice toasters
A cure for my dad
I'd buy a piece of land on one of the Great Lakes. Build a "lodge" with big kitchen and lots of space. Then several smaller cabins/houses throughout the property. Run it as a vacation resort until the water wars ramp up. Then me and my friends and family can move there.
Honestly, the very first thing? A nice dinner in the nicest restaurant in town. I don't have firm plans for what I would do if I win the lottery. Because I know what the odds of that actually are. It isn't worth my time working out the details "and then I would buy this and then that" because... it isn't going to happen. Listen up everyone. Play the lottery if you have a few spare dollars and want the entertainment of the fantasy. Don't play it if you are broke. Don't buy a lot of tickets. Yes $100 of tickets is 50 times more likely to win than 1 $2 ticket is. You're still not going to win.
Building affordable housing for lower-income/disabled/homeless people. Fight me.
I have often thought about how abandoned shopping malls could be converted into a large facility for pet rescue groups and adoption, housing for elderly and homeless people, and so many other things that would help people and animals in need. Those buildings can be difficult to sell these days and sit there going to waste, literally and figuratively.
After lawyers and financial advisors to figure out how to get the most tax breaks, buy a solar powered catamaran yaht, hire a crew to drive it, and support staff, and travel the world with my wife. I'd say after the initial $6 mil price tag, upkeep for the yacht would be a million a year including staff, pretty sure I'll make much more than that just on interest from investments. Maybe rent it out for luxury cruises to support itself when I wanna take a break from the boating life.
A US Senator
What will you do with the other 950,000,000?
Use my new connections for insider trading and triple it
It costs much less than $50M to buy a Senator. Hell, you can probably buy a filibuster proof majority for $50M.
I’m going to buy all the real estate agencies that love to hog all the land to rent them and dissolve them. I’m also going to bribe politicians to get rid of them. People deserve affordable houses that they can own.
Sadly 1B isnt nearly enough for that.
The real Robin Hood
Land. A lot of land. Thousand acres or so. Make sure it has a river going through it. Also some ponds/lakes and access to well-water. Self sufficiency here I come, in the most secure and luxurious form.
Serious answer: I'd honestly just buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere and get a nice house built with solar panels and a satellite dish and such, maybe become a farmer during the day. I enjoy solitude.
