"If I had $425,000,000"

[coasterville95]

Well, call my cynical, but look at that, it's almost Christmas and yet again one of the major lotteries is building up to a big Happy Holidays Payoff for some lucky person or group of persons. It seems to me more often than not one or both of the major lottos has a gigantic pot about this time of year.

When I win on Wednesday, I'll be talking with a Las Vegas realtor about condo options. Just think, you could like where there is a wide variety of current top name entertainment, a city wide buffet of the best foods, shopping, even a roller coaster or two.

When you need to get out, you have an airport that is a true worldwide gateway.

Of course living in Vegas that condo would have to have a man cave with the best HDTV home theater setup known to man. And hoepfully the best sports satellite package known to man to follow the Muskies. Wet bar within easy access of said home theater wide a nice selection of beers on tap. (Okay, I'll have a couple bottles of bourbon in the fridge for when PaulXU viists - just name your brand....)

[BandAid]

I'd buy New Zealand. That's got to be enough for a down payment...

[nuts4xu]

Sorry Coaster, I am calling my shot.....I plan to win the big jackpot on Wednesday.

As a consolation prize, I will invite you to my luxury box in the Cintas for a few pints of Guinness.

And I agree with Coaster, not sure how it happens, but it does seem like one or the other mega lotteries climbs to obnoxious levels around the holidays.

[RoseyMuskie]

I'd start by building a 9 hole golf course on the empty land that is "going to be" East Campus. Then I'd build a slam ball court where the outdoor courts currently sit. And then I'd probably just copy off of Coasterville's idea. That sounds great.

Vegas? You have to be kidding me. I would split my time between Maui, Europe, New Zealand, and a couple weeks in Moab, Utah. Freaking fake ass vegas? Hell no.

[blueblob06]

Maui
Now, we're talking. Too bad I'd want to be in Hawaii when it's cold in the Midwest, meaning during XU season, jeopardizing my new 1st row seats. Luckily I don't like my odds at winnings the millions so I won't have to deal with this dilemma.

[Mrs. Garrett]

I know I'd do some cool stuff with the money, but at the end of the day I think I'd use some of the money to start my own small company. At my age, I can't imagine not getting up with some purpose everyday. My son just turned one, so maybe we would have some fun with the money until he starts school.

This work thing runs in the family. My dad has retired twice only to go back to work because he gets bored. I think I wired the same way.

[bobbiemcgee]

I'd piss away money on an Indy 500 team for the one race every year.

I'd buy a big enough private jet that could house a mini-condo in it and party across the world.

I'd build mini self contained "pods" with heat, refrigeration, air and water, fully stocked with food that you could drop into a disaster zone with one of those giant helicopters.

I'd be broke soon.

[ballyhoohoo]

Two chicks at the same time.

[ballyhoohoo]

I'd also hire La Muskie to file frivolous law suits against studios trying to make movies that suck. No more Nicolas Sparks or Twilight shit.

Why do people who win/have that much money always say they want to invest it in a business?

Just let it sit there and do whatever you want....and call yourself an entrepreneur.

What about a business that makes nothing but Xavier shorts?

[Masterofreality]

Division One College Football at XU, baby.

We get invited to the Big 10, and the rest is history!

[Masterofreality]

I would give DC Muskie a few million, so he could stop working and just post all day.

Wait. he's already doing that! :crazy:

He wants to be the second guy in Go's exclusive club.

[bjf123]

Condo on the Kona Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii and a Gulfstream V to fly to every X game. I'd stop in LA & Wichita to pick up LA Muskie and GoMuskie.

[GoMuskies]

Woo hoo! I know who I'm cheering for to win the money! And conveniently enough, there's a small private airport right by my house. I'll start to clear my calendar for the games after the drawing.

I'm building on the Kona coast too, but thinking a little bigger than a condo. I'd do something just south of the Mauna Kea with a bit of land.

I'd also keep this Pleasant Ridge house and rent it for $1 a year to a lucky group of Xavier students who demonstrate a promising capacity for jaded decadence.

Then I would put a chunk in a charitable trust and make that my full time job, giving to organizations, and spend the rest of my time traveling.

[Strange Brew]

I'd ask for payment in gold bullion, buy Richard Branson's island off the Bitter End in the BVI's and sail that part of the Earth until God, storm or booze ended me.

[chico]

I would buy the rights to televise UD games then not televise them as a public service.

I'd have fun with it - just buy people stuff for no reason. Like buy everyone in line at a game a beer but they would also have to answer trivia questions or something like that. Or buy naming rights to the urinals at Cintas and name them after posters on here who pissed me off.

You could also buy that oversized urinal north of Cinci along I-75 and name it something like UD Arena. Wait, someone already had that idea.

[Pablo's Brother]

Led Zeppelin show at cintas for 10,250 of my closest friends.

[coasterville95]

You don't want to see the show? If you give out 10,250 tickets there won't be one for yourself. Fire code and all that.

Just consider blowing $65,000 to buy everyone in Cintas a beer one night. Okay, $65000 in concession stand vouchers so no one can say you forced them to have alcohol. Keep all the anti beer people happy, and accommodate the under 21s. Just point out the voucher could be used for a beer.

Or would that come off as tacky?

Does Chris Mack count in the 10,250? Plus, the floor should seat another 2,0000. I will also allow U2 to open up and provide free beer to all (after a loyalty pledge of course.)

I think that would finally be a voucher program everyone would support.

Could we also have frisbee dogs in the intermission between U2 and Led Zeppelin?

[Pablo's Brother]

Red panda, the little girls who jump rope and the quick change people too. I am going all out. I want Dickie v on a rope as well.

[MADXSTER]

I would hang out with Glow for a couple of weeks. Take some of my own pictures instead of looking at his. :)

[Snipe]

I would secede from the Union

[drudy23]

I would suceed from the Union

Is that a real word?

[vee4xu]

I would suceed from the Union

Then you could finally be king and lord over all of your many minions. (I kid)

[GoMuskies]

I'd buy Manhattan College and make it a branch campus of Xavier. Then I'd get to welcome Chris Thomas to the program and fire Steve Massiasshole.

[Snipe]

no. It is secede. But if I had 425 mill I could also secede from Webster's dictionary and the tyranny of the spell check.

The Republic of Snipe would be like a large ESPNZone, except the beer is free and the waitresses are topless.

Every idea here is superb....just add one...

Buy two couches in the sports book at the Monte Carlo that can only be used by Xavier fans- especially during NCAA basketball games and preferably against Notre Dame who X beats like a drum.

[murray87]

The pot is now up to $500 million! Hmmm, a luxury box at Cintas, a luxury box at GABP..............

[Muskie91]

As I'm projected to win by my hand picked polling agency, I will be starting a training camp for underpriviledged children from the African Continent. We will have dorms, schools, athletic facilities and the like with the sole purpose of imparting that rarest of skills:

WORLD CLASS ABILITY TO JUMP OFF ONE FOOT!!!
These unbelievable athletes will then be funneled to Xavier as I become the Muskies own World Wide Wes

[FIGHTING MUSKETEER]

I would create the new National Basketball Only League, include XU and all the teams I like in it, allow female cheerleaders to do their thing naked, have the league tournament played in this basketball court located at my humble mansion and have my favorite artists of the moment play before and after XU’s games. Friends will have a VIP wristband that will allow them free drinks. However, a full release will be required.

PS. If you think that not allowing male cheerleaders to dance naked is discriminatory, YES it is but go create your own basketball league 'cause this one is mine.

[blueblob06]

I see where you went with that.

Chicks like this would fill my luxury box at the Cintas Center, whether Glow was there or not!

[coasterville95]

Up to $550,000,000 now. You might be able to throw in a Bengals luxury box now as well.

The beauty of that kind of money is you don't have to care. If you want to buy everyone a beer, you can do it. Some guy wants peanuts instead of a beer? Tough shit. The deal is a beer. Under 21? Too bad, no beer. Under 21 and hot and loose and female? Ok, there is an alternative program for you. Meet me in Nuts' suite.


$550Million is silly. Even the NPV, post tax amount on that is silly . I would wind up owning things that I have no business owning, like a Zamboni. Then I'd need an ice rink. Then I'd need a go-cart with ice racing tires.

[Smails]

I would instantly retire my inner circle of friends. Nobody that I truly cared about would have an ounce of debt. After that, I would buy a lot of shit and probably raise some seriously mal-adjusted kids...but who cares...we'd be rich... bitch!

I would steer clear of casinos, the bar business and cocaine. All three of which are deadly on an unlimited budget.

[GoMuskies]

At first I assumed this meant you were going to get all new friends. I don't know your friends of course, but I was thinking going out and getting better, more expensive friends could be a good thing.

I love how you will "allow" the female cheerleaders to do their thing naked. As if they all really want to do it right now, and we're opressing them by forcing them to wear clothes. thats great

I demand a cheerleaders' survey.

[nickgyp]

MOR:

Like the way you think but I'd also rebuild Xavier Stadium exactly as it was (except maybe for the urinal trough in the men's restroom on the east side).

[paulxu]

Huh? There was a urinal there?

You could drive the Zamboni through Mt Adams in cold weather, then grab a beer, sit back and watch the fun.

[Masterofreality]

Well, I'm going back to work today. :sad:

It's a thread about winning the lottery. There are far more cheerleaders willing to cheer naked than there are powerball winners.
