What would you do if you won the lottery?
A few rules: this has to be something totally selfish and frivolous. If I ever really won the lottery, I think a lot of money would be going to charities. But that's not the point of this question. This is "If you won the lottery, and had to spend all the money on yourself." Also, assume that you'd have enough money to do whatever you wanted. $10 gazillion, for example, with a gazillion being lots and lots of money.
If I won the lottery, I'd buy a nice place in New York, maybe 2 or 3 bedrooms. Somewhere in Manhattan, possibly, although I might also go with Brooklyn. What I'd really love is a cozy house in Brooklyn with views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline over the river.
And I'd buy a Tesla Roadster. Man, that car is sweet! 0-60 in 4 seconds, and totally electric. I mean, I guess if I were living in New York, a car would be pretty redundant (I'd be a straphanger), but hey, it's not like I'll ever be able to afford it anyway, so I'll just keep dreaming. :-) Or, maybe I'd buy a Segway!! Oh, that'd be neat. They're such a cool mode of transportation.
Then I'd go traveling. World tour. See all 7 continents. Get a scuba license and explore the Great Barrier Reef. Go whale watching. Be an eco-tourist and check out the rain forest. I'd also get my pilot's license and buy a plane (a small one; I love props!) so I could fly wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
Oh, and I'd definitely want to be a space tourist. One of the first things I'd do with $10 gazillion is book a flight on Virgin Galactic. Who knows? Maybe I'd even meet Stephen Hawking.
And I'd hire a personal chef (I can't cook).
What would you do?
