What would you do if you won $40 million?

Invest. Set myself and my family (parents, sibs, etc.) up nicely, then travel a lot. But first thing would be to quit the day job. I will keep my night job as John Wang the full-figured cowboy stripper.
 
I'd run for Utah legislature and propose bizarre bills to troll the always outraged crowd. Things like "Roadkills to Christmas Meals to cut the unnecessary food stamp program".
 
After posting that taking the lump sum is better, I actually googled it to confirm what i have read in the past was acurate and came across a fairly recent article that address that conundrum

https://www.businessinsider.com/sho...or-the-lump-sum-if-you-win-the-lottery-2013-9

I hope one day to be faced this dilemma, though the fact I don't buy lottery tickets makes it somewhat unlikely...

What this article doesn't address is that different states also have different laws about what happens when you die. I read that if you take the annuity and something happens to you, some states continue payment to your relatives, but some states stop and forfeit the money...

Depends on several things. Watch or participate? 18 year olds or 80 year olds? Disease-free or herpes-Mary? Meth money or college money?

lol, its from the movie office space bro.

one guy asks another dude what he would do with a million bucks, then it goes like this

guy #1: what would you do with a million bucks?

guy #2: two chicks at the same time

guy #1: you don't need a million bucks for that

guy #2: for the kinda chick that'd double up on a dude like me you do!
 
When I was in high school, I had this chemistry teacher that was really good at figuring out the formula for making any sort of synthetic chemical compound. I would start a mexican fast food joint called "the crazy chicken" and ask my high school chemistry teacher to make some blue meth to put in buckets of lard, that way we could make a ton of money by cooking the mexican food in meth, and people would buy it like crazy, and we would make so much more than $40 mil.

Well since he lives in Canada, he is already kind enough to donate at least half to the government in taxes.
 
If I won the $500 million out there right now, I would buy a new Ferrari every year and wreck it in a spectacular crash.

Getting customers addicted to meth to buy your product might be a little over the top. However, back in college I used to stick those nicotine patches on my lady friends after they'd fall asleep and pull them off before they woke up. Once hooked they'd keep coming around for the nightly ritual like a true addict but thought it was for the sex and love and stuff.


(not a true story)

FYi lottery winnings in Canada are not taxable. And our regular taxes are nowhere near 50%. More like 30%

If I won the 500 I would buy a ski resort. It's always been a dream of mine.

Crashing a Ferrari would be on the lost too though
