Default If you won the lottery....

Name all the things that you'd want to buy.... I just wanna know what you guys would spend it on... It doesn't have to be RC but I recommend that it should be since this is an RC Forum.... So name what you would buy if you won...

I would buy machinery and all the RC Markets (The ones I can afford) in the world...

The lottery amount would be the "record" one... I think it's the one where it was 750 Million?

I'd make the most dominant monster truck possible, like a rock crawler except like maxxed, the best of the best, and I'd beef up my evader to more than it already is, customize everything, and make my own motor and sell the idea to a major company like trinity or epic. I'd also create like a one of a kind battery, LI-poly at like 5000 mAh. lol, I know I'm dreaming. The rest, i'd probably pay off debts and put it in a savings account for my family

I'd pay off all the money for my house & buy the land (mobile home) I'd also buy the land to & the vacan't house next door. I'd then rip everything out of the inside of the house & put in a carpet track with tons of electricity outlets & tables to work at. I would make this carpet track with elevation changes, a first for an indoor track. Also a bunch of other cool stuff I can't do now

At $1.2 million I wouldn't waste my time, for $1.2 million I would get a McClaren, they look alot better and just as fast.

You guys all have great ideas but think too small. Wouldn't it be cool to have a huge yacht with a flight deck off the back so we could fly our planes while at sea, An indoor car/truck track,and a large pool for boats. I mean really, you need something to do in those long trips between continents. Of course you need a crew ( i Don't want to have to do anything), full bar, massage room, and all other amenities from a cruise liner. Top this off with a real flight deck to fly real f-22's in pretend dogfights with all your friends whom you of course invited along and you want for nothing. Except maybe to stop by my personal island. Now we're living!!!!

Default RE: If you won the lottery....

what i said made perfect sense if you stopped an think for a second.
especially given the fact its obvious i would not own a mclaren f1 if i hadnt one lotto.

id get my dream r/c car made, but because i had so much money i would alwready have purchased the real car first. i was keeping my response r/c related because the fact is why would you stay with r/c if you could have the real deal.

i think youd be strugling to get the mclaren f1 supercar for under 1.2 mill these days.
