Winning the lotto & lots of it $$$

would outsource my gardening work or at least add a new deck, and landscape to make it easier.

take out a golf membership (need something to do)
pay debt off and maximise super contributions.

quit work, but look at doing some voluntary work on local boards etc.

Travel is probably the big one.

I would pay people to drive past the following people’s houses and egg it everyday:

Vlad
Caro
Gil
Pretty much everyone involved in the afl media

Pay essendon to let me sit in on every selection meeting, post game meeting etc

I would personally fund a “community” movie so it gets made

I would love to build my own indoor football field and soccer field

So pretty much just waste it all

I’d spend 6 months a year snowboarding, Chalet at Kicking Horse in Canada and the other 6 months relaxing somewhere tropical where the only transport is a golf cart.
Pay my close friends mortgages off and set my family up for life then try and keep the garage to 6 cars.

Isn’t that the old saying?
I’d spend most of it on booze and women and the rest I’d probably waste.

Buy an island, take all the people I like and anyone else who might be useful and stay there until COVID gets lost.

In all seriousness, I’d purchase a parcel of land somewhere nice, try to grow most of my own food.
Have some animals on the land as well.

The rest of my time would be spent on fitness and learning a musical instrument (probably drums) so that I can play with my son who is decent on guitar.

I think at some point, giving back to others in some charitable venture would provide value and perspective.

Sounds like a nice way to grow old to me.

Id make sure I dont have to work again. Dont go overboard on a huge house, furniture and cars etc.
Then Id buy decent 4wd and caravan and set off around Australia if I had enough.

Sadly, most of these things are achievable. But no. instead you guys are out there eating smashed avocado and cold pressed coffee.

I have a Powerball ticket every week and plan what i’m going to do with the winnings every week. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to execute my planning yet.

In an ideal world I’d win a jackpot of 80-100 million, set up my family and friends with about a third of the winnings then keep the rest for myself which I would spend 80% of in housing. That would provide a healthy income for life in rents. A portion of that income would allow me to set up my own coterie for the football club and I’ll be able to meddle in the day to day running of Essendon.

A mate of mine has done this, for real.

Lots and lots and lots of cocaine, and every staff member at Kittens knows him by name.

I don’t think you’ve really lived until you sniff cocaine off the small of a hooker’s back.

Move up north, buy a nice boat and fish for a few years. If I can be bothered after that I’d start doing a few charters. But I probably wouldn’t.

A few years ago I had this discussion with some good mates. I said I’d divide up a mill between my closest 4 friends and Mrs. K. can do likewise with hers. The wife of a mate cracked the sads whinging how they were only going to get $250k. I said “I haven’t even won any cash and you’re already being a whiney ■■■ about it. You’re off the list!”. And she stormed off to bed.

I imagine those kind of things would be fairly common with real cash involved.

Not quite the same but did Melbourne ever have one of those establishments where the discerning gentleman could have his meal presented upon a naked woman?
