$30 mill?

[martybabe]

I'd make sure all my kids were set up for life, and could afford flights to come and see their Dad.

Set up a respite/holiday place for all those kids that selflessly give up their childhood to look after unwell parents 24/7. I'd love to see them fellas running round free, going nuts, for a while.

And of course fill the garage with all those things I've lusted after for so long.

Oh and travel the world, though I doubt I'd find much better than NZ.

Man I like to feel women

Get a good financial advisor to help split you investments to obtain a good return

Yeah, and that advice given five years ago would have seen any winners losing a solid half of their cash by now.

$30 million? Fuck getting a 'good return', that's for people who don't have $30 million yet. 5-6% p/a from term deposits with 2% taken out as income and the rest ploughed back into the capital would see you set for life.

However, anyone who buys lottery tickets is pretty much proving right from the start that they don't have a clue about money management...

... that said, I just gave in and bought one.



(To answer the original question, were I a 'gentleman of leisure', I'd divide my time between going back to school to get a PhD, and turning myself into a vaguely competitive athlete.)

I fail to disagree, I've got no interest in interest, I've got 30 million big ones to spend.

I dont know...you gotta be in to win. It's the ones who phone psychic hotlines to ask psychics when and where they should buy their winning tickets who have no clue about money management...or reality.

[rainman]

i would buy NZ

So what would you do with the change?

[firefighter]

I'd buy a brand new Lamborghini, take it into work and cut it up.

[raftn]

As my partner said to me.............would you still love me if you won lotto tonight?...............of corse i would, i said,................but i would miss you!

[James Deuce]

I'd shut down KB.

M'off to grab me a copy shortly, you should do the same.

[Kickaha]

what would you do with the cash if you won?

Fuck all that pussy shit about paying mortgages buying houses

I'd order a new LCR sidecar and have my entry in for the next world championship, and I'd order a second one just for the LCR hating Scrivy and deliver it to him personally

Once that was done I'd be getting sorted for the Next Paris-Dakar and I'd fucking ride overland to get to the start line

I'd do a world tour by bike that would make Ewan and Charlies trip look like a ride to the bloody shops

I'd start my own Motorcycle Academy with the long term plan of getting some promising young NZers into MotoGP/SBK etc

I'd set up a National "Battle of the Streets" 6 rounds over 6 cities (free entry of course) and buy off or have killed any fucker on the council who voiced any objections

30mil would probably buy enough politicians to get the speed limit raised to whatever I bloody wanted as well or buy the Judges to get any charges against me tossed out of court

[skidMark]

buy the new zealand justice system to get my license back.

[Jantar]

You can all forget those dreams because I am going to be tonights big winner. And the very first thing I shall do with all that cash is to buy my first ever Lotto ticket. (After all, if they are going to be so kind as to give me $30M its only fair that I buy their product at least once.)

[carver]

i would pay quasi to have sex with me

[Grahameeboy]

Give away 27 million to charities and friends, pay off the mortgage, get a Ducati 749R, invest the rest and still work..and chill....didn't get a ticket...still give to Charities and friends, will pay of the mortgage in 15 ears time, will get a 749r next year and still work....so money is not everything...if that makes sense...challenge of life is better
