If you won the lottery, how would you swoop lizards?

I'd build the funnel.
1. pick a city that I want to lock down - la, nyc, hong kong, london, et cetera
2. Develop some entertainment property
- high end bar - 25+
- exclusive dance club - 18-23
- underground/edgy small bar or club/performance space - hot chicks not into mainstream stuff
3. Use industry practice to funnel people (i.e. hot chicks in)
4. Once developed, flip them to people who want to get in the biz, and develop other hot spots
So setting up my fishing pond and just shooting ducks in a barrel and mixing metaphors.

surprised no one mentioned the simplest idea: if you win more than 9 figures, you could buy your way to fame.
1. buy a couple million social media followers
2. throw a few high end parties
3. let it be known that you throw these parties
4. your name will buzz around and people will know you after youve been seen with some stars
5. once it is known that you fucked a couple celebs, pussy will pour in
6. with that much money you could get a fucking super bowl ad lol.
The Great Gatsby approach.
Take care of those titties for me.

1. Post an ad saying "First woman that gives birth to my child gets a million dollars cash".
2. Get a vasectomy.
3. Sit back and wait.

I'd use that model to become a deity in India. Once the sub continent was cracked, you guys would be invited in to share the spoils.
Question. What kind of persona would you create? Keep your own, or live out a fantasy?

This doesn't necessarily apply just to girls (or you don't need that many millions) but:
I would get myself an ISDA agreement and finally put on some of the longer term and more asymmetric trades I've always wanted to do
Write a book or several
Set up some sort of philanthropy initiative
Go up to space and do an "Earth's orbit Data Sheet"
Studies on myself with different supplements and scientists for anti aging options
Never again wake up with an alarm clock
Multiple penthouses in different cities for parties, model shoots, etc.
Bespoke everything

I realize I wouldn't change much, just drop work to half time to travel. That's where my true joy is.

If it were under the premise of winning the lottery, I'd follow some of the advice from this site:
http://www.rotten.com/library/culture/lottery-winners/
Quote:Quote:
Open a blind trust. Hire a tax attorney. Once you're a client, the lawyer is legally bound to maintain your confidentiality. Tell them you want to open a blind trust in order to claim the lottery prize as an anonymous trustee. Provide three photocopies of your ticket. All contact with the lottery commission will be made through your lawyer.
I'd file through a firm that could do this as well as handle the cash until I was able to get a foothold. Then scatter the financial management to several firms, for checks and balances.
Quote:Quote:
Move away. And not just out of town. We're talking out of state, possibly out of the country. You can't expect to keep a lid on your secret forever; information wants to be free. Maybe buy a modest house with a good alarm system in a gated community with a private security force. That ought to minimize the solicitors at your door. Also be sure to get an unlisted phone number.
In all seriousness, I'd stay under the radar. I've had a theory for years that it's far less headaches and just as profitable to be the man behind the man. Same concept applies to winning the lottery; once in the spotlight, the headaches and liabilities come with it. And I wouldn't want my family to be affected by the media bullshit. Out of sight, out of mind.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Like Ali said, it's best to stunt in the shadows.
I'd make sure that my money and my identity tied with it is secret.
I'd "study abroad". Don't know where at or so, but I'm chilling out there for a few years. Let the whole lottery stuff die down. Let people think that I just went to this country and never came back.
I want that mystery to build up.
I'd come back to the US Style and Fitness tuned up. Years from "studying abroad" Rosca done came up.
Challenge kickboxer to a street race (Mazi vs Lambo). Prolly end up getting fined. But it's okay, I got 200 mil.
Hang out with Fisto and go to a club with him. Watch him put the beats on some chode who was acting reckless. But it's okay, I got 200 mil. Cops ain't touching us.
Make my life as interesting and fun with the money I got. If asked how I got so much money
"Beat Obama in a fist fight."
Nope.

Tie your money up in trusts and hide assets. Let people sue you. Oh well.
Get a vasectomy but freeze sperm in case you want kids.
Go out and blast away without a care in the world.

I find these kind of threads a bit useless.
- What if I woke up tomorrow with the looks of a Greek adonis?
- What if I stranded on a tropical island with nothing but playmates?
- What if I suddenly got superpowers?
Better work on things you can actually accomplish or at least give it your best.
A dream without a plan is just a dream.

One of my old friends who has unfortunately dropped off the face of the earth and got into 4chan bullshit posted this a couple of years back. I thought it was pretty funny and applicable.
Yeah, winning the lottery is like soviet russia man, lizards swoop you.
