One winner

Post by Kwacky »

Someone has won $1.6bn on a lottery ticket.

That's mind boggling.

I think I would buy a large island and go off grid.

I'd spend my life giving it away to good causes tbh.

Thats a silly amount for any prize.

Well I would certainly make sure I returned any favours and ensure my loved and close ones are well looked after.

I would probably end up creating a business in something I love to be honest and get you guys to be my test mules!

Oh and I don't think I would move house either.. I love our place and the people around us - it actually feels like a community and I doubt I'd find that in a £1 million mansion.

we can all dream cant we, I know Id start a race team with the goal of raising young British talent with a strict no pay per seat rule. Id also maybe look at running a program for kids getting into music. plus the usual sorting out family a friends and organising a TS only foreign trackday (with instruction from my team riders ;) ) all expenses paid including hirebikes somewhere nice a warm ;) I look after you guys!

I'd travel for a while, and get used to the reality of having that much money rather than the prospect of having it.
I'd like to see the Northeast US, South America, Canada, some of the Pacific islands, etc.

I’d put contracts out on all the lying Brexiteers. From my personal tropical island hideaway, in a dead volcano of course. (bandit)

Could you imagine that though, going to bed on day and waking up the next at one of the richest on the planet... Mind blowing.

I would buy out the Tory party and Labour party and bankrupt them both. :D

Then i would buy the fleet of Ducati GP17 Motogp bikes about to be sold by Ducati and start up my own track day company. :D And ride them til they all wore out.

When I heard about an American lottery winner, I wondered if it was you Darren.

My family would come first if I had won that much. I'd make sure they would have no problems at all for the rest of their lives. Buy a home (not expensive though I'm a working class person and happy that I am) and start a family. Make sure they get good education, get looked after medically and also show them the world and give them opportunites, however the minute they expect anything is the minute I'd revoke any do gooding to them. Make sure they knew the value of money and make sure they know that daddy and mummy worked hard before luck of the draw graced them.

Business I would like to get into affordable housing. Not affordable (£400k for a 2 bed flat) but seriously affordable £50k to £150k new flats and small homes catering for the low incomed families. Even if I made a lose I think I'd do some good for my community.
