Lottery Night

I’m trying to get back into the habit of posting. Here’s a short question that’s been in my conversational repertoire this week:

If you won the lottery tonight. (Say $100 million after taxes.) What would you do that evening to celebrate?

My friend John, is an ethicist. His answer: Vegas. He’d fly out eight of his best friends, give them each $100,000 on the condition that they absolutely must waste it that weekend.

His brother Paul is a doctor. His answer: Have a nice dinner, then start planning how he would save the world.

My answer: Also Vegas. I’d put it all on black.

What would you do?

  1. Yes, more posting.

    And this may be lame, but I would immediately pay off all of my debts. And then go buy a computer. And a suuuuuper fancy dinner. And a massage. Like, a two or three hour one. Then the next day I would just go nuts with giving people money and buying shit. There would be a twenty four hour period of insanity.

    And then I’d probably calm down and be all responsible and shit.

    Gambling sounds awful and stressful. The one time I went to Vegas I spent the whole weekend being upset that my money was just going away.

    Hi!
