With $3 million, I'd:

- Pay off all my parents' debts
- Give my immediate family (bro, sis, & parents) at least $500k
- Buy a nice house
- Mod the S2K
- Buy my girl an R8
- Buy myself a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster or an LP670-4 SV Roadster (if it's ever offered)...
- Put the rest of the cash in several seperate CD accounts to grow my money.

I'm sure after spending the cash/sharing it with my family, I'd be down to a fairly large amount of money.

I would renovate my current house and tear down the garage that I have now and build me a new one. I would then buy a rv with an enclosed trailer to house the S and a motorcycle and travel the country...I would also buy plenty of gold and silver as paper money isnt worth shit anymore.

I'm young but winning the lottery would never cause me to try horrendous drugs, alter my appearance, or buy expensive cars... Oh, wait, no, scratch the last one. I'd buy a sick exotic car, mod my S2K, and then keep the rest of the cash for a rainy day.
What would you do with $3 million?
Umar don't take this the wrong way, I like your posts and wouldn't want you to think I was being an ass...

But if you think that amount of money wouldn't change you (as a person), you are kidding yourself.

Money changes people. Even the relatively small amount of $3m would change your outlook on life overnight, and where that leads you, nobody could predict. I'm just saying don't be so harsh on the girl, sure I don't think I would do the same thing (but I'm 32, looking back at my life as it was when I was 16, I may well have done very similar things), but who knows...

You have to be 18 to place bets and gamble at fruit machines/casinos. Playing the National Lottery isn't exactly gambling, it's buying a chance. As such, the age requirement is 16.

as has already been discussed in this thread. In Missouri you have to be eighteen to buy a lottery ticket, play state lottery.. but must be 21 to go to a casino.

Edit: I am an idiot bc I didnt pay attention to the fact that foxy_s2k is in Europe... please pay no attention to my stupidity.

Thanks Tuna. You get a gold star for lateral thinking.

Quiksilver, you don't get a star, but your avatar is fully awesome.
