I've often thought IF I won millions I would still come to work just like always....I'd go crazy being at home.

I'd quit my current job and do crazy Elon Musk ****. Or open up a machine shop. Just do passion projects for my job and be happy :P. Anyways, on a serious note, congratulations Wildcard!

Oh, and for a mere $95,000, you can buy a ticket (pre-order) for a ride into (sub-orbital) space. XCOR will be moving to our neighboring city, Midland, TX.

Space travel sounds fun, but I'd probably need a pretty stiff spring to make up for the lack of gravity.

Sub-orbital, ew...

I'd want to be at least in standard orbit, but the moon is where I'd truly love to go.

Either that, or I'd invest all my money into researching FTL travel.

Between the lottery and your contest CPT I'm on a roll. And don't think this means you can back out on sending me that QFR :)

If I won millions, I would first make sure to never run out of money for the rest of my life (so investing it wisely, more secure than risky for the most part).


I would make sure to never have a debt as far as possible.


And most of all, I would try to decide how I want to spend all my time. You will have more time because of not working, but still would lack enough time to do all you want. And anyway, you don't want to get bored so you could decide to make trips, find  new passion (learning martial art, learning to drive a race car, going to hunt,raise a family, whatever you want to do).


Just my point of view of it!

I would rather commission some American's to get off their arse's and get in the game.  We put a man on the moon, that solid gold keyboard should be made by us.

Correct, 2nd largest winning in lotto history I believe. Dem taxes though, especially in CALI

i see a lot of people praising topre but i see others complaining that they just feel like a really distinct rubberdome. i guess he  would have to find out what switch he wants first. if that happend to be topre he should maybe go for the hhkb s. If he only likes to game and never ever writes then maybe a super luxus cherry mx red is the way to go.

Good answer.

Slightly confusing, but it will do. Thanks everyone!

Also, Demik told me I should try to double my money by putting everything on black in a game of roulette. I'll let you know how that goes.
