I would buy a new PC. My PC is really good, but I wiould buy a fucking 10k dollars monster. After that I'd probably buy a smallapartment in the city to be independent and install fiber to get best connection possible. Only then I'd spend some money for Vydia, then save up the rest in order not to work for the rest of my life, maybe I'd buy a restaurant or a pizzeria or a brothel or something too.
>>
>>323303290

I'd probably purchase a fuckload of games, including every console and their entire library.

Then I'd wallow in indecision, because I really didn't want to play any of them.

Not him. But I'd almost feel guilty giving money to some of my family. My mom could have as much as she wanted, but my sister, as much as I love her, kind of needs life to kick her in the ass.

With that kind of money I could buy happiness, so I wouldnt have to play video games anymore
>>
>>323305456
Like what? Plus you can always make video games, I bet that's fun as fuck when you have no financial obligations and can just hire people to do the actual work for you.
>>
Not many. I'd probably just make my dream rig and buy a ps4/bone and a few games for each.

I'd take the money, buy a 10 acre plot of land outside of the capital of my state, build a mansion on it. Pay off my car, buy a few of my dream guns, give a million each to my parents, go back to college and take 5 million and invest it in stocks/bonds/CDs/IRAs. Probably buy my way into some businesses/franchises.
>>
>>323305212
>implying you even get the $800mil jackpot

Try like $400-500mil at best after the state pounds your asshole.

Can't. I'm forced to work here because I'm a faggot artist and can work only in my mother tongue.
I wish I was a pleb with no culture whatsoever that could become something like an engineer or some shit, so I could go away. I can't.
>>
>>323303290

I'd buy a decent PC, Dragon's Dogma, and one of those huge stage harps. I've always wanted one.
>>
>>323305347

how come whenever I hear of rich people kind of having some financial hardships, they always say "I couldn't afford to keep my huge house!"

Are they getting charged taxes or something, or did they not think to pay it off when they were rich, or is this possibly just a case where they had zero money and had to sell the house to survive?
>>
>>323305456
Like what?
I couldn't invest in space unless I was a billionaire CEO with stable income.

I'd just get more hobbies like a botany house.
>>
>>323303290
I'd probably buy a few games for my friend so we can play together
Other than that, I'd save the rest
>>
Nothing would change for me physically, I'd just buy every video game I've ever wanted and buy the best electronics. I'd never have to work or worry about food again.

I don't care about anything else and I have nobody to share my life with. 4chan and video games till I die.
>>
>>323303290

I'd buy a second dick. And then a boat. And then one of those fancy flower deliveries to tell my old University to go fuck themselves. And then a nice house in some remote location so I can jerk off in peace
>>
>>323305678
cash value is $500mill if you take it lump sum

tax on that would be 50% with federal and state taxes, so only $250 mil
>>
>>323305456

I can't think of anything else I'd want to do. Any suggestions? If anything I'd have an expensive video game hobby like buying an arcade or something.
>>
>>323305818

Why is this allowed? But at least it's not death taxes.

I would blow everything on hardware. Consoles, old consoles, arcade machines, and put it all in one room along with posters and figures and would call it my Game Saloon.

>>323305684
>and can work only in my mother tongue.
Why?

>>323305902
I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind it actually. I guess they could show the amount of money you'd receive after tax is deducted but that'd obviously be a much smaller number and therefore less attractive to ticket buyers.

Gotta fund the #1 military in the world somehow.
Also in some states like Ohio, we also get a capital gains tax on top of it, but it's a fraction to the main tax.

That would cost maybe $10 million total at most. You literally would have $490 more million to fuck around with.

>>323305818
not to mention when lotteries get this big and publicized there will be multiple winners you have to share with. Last time it was up to 1 billion it was split between 3 people

I'm an actor in theaters. I can also do voice acting and I speak english quite fluently, but I have a strong accent. Nobody would hire me outside of my country. Also because I have no qualification that says I speak english. I'd have to say "I picked it up playing vydia, watching movies and shitposting on 4chan and youtube"
>>
>>323306350
you would need to win quite a few more 800 million dollar lotteries to get the money to do that

I've got a hefty backlog, so I'd prolly just upgrade my PC routinely. I'm already well-off financially, so I'd use the money to live as charitably and comfortably as I could.

>>323306310

Buying a nice house in the mountains and maybe taking up some light skiing might be comfy. But otherwise I just have much extravagant tastes.

Although I've always kind of dreamed of buying an island off the grid and making it self sustaining with solar panels and water purifiers, and limited housing, etc. in case there was a war or zombie apocalyps or I just wanted to fuck off or something

You go to your nearest grocery store and at the check out sing Yankee doodle dandy as loud as you can while checking out. This is the secret code to let the cashier know you're buying into the lottery. Make sure to finish the song, or you'll just look like an idiot
>>
None, I could afford to do things more fun than video games. Much better hobbies out there
>>
>>323306319

better to make an indie game and just learn how to make games living off the money you have. hire freelancers to make up for the work you can't do/suck at.

after that you can start a studio with a dream team of freelancers you worked with before.

People will find something. You don't need legal ground to stand on for a court case to happen.

And a few states require you to accept all donations publicly. And even if you did it anonymously, one of your family members would tell the press so they can get five minutes of fame (or the paparazzi would snoop around and find your name themselves, as they do not care about your well being).

if I got rich, then one day I'd build a retirement home for /v/irgins.

I live in a building full of old people and they are so fucking depressing. All they do is complain about stuff, wait for their kids to visit, and sit around until they die. Old people need video games.

We'd be too old to keep up with augmented teenage mutant ninja cyborg reaction times in online games in 2040, but we could still have UT2K4 LAN parties with old fucks.

Totalitarian world governments would have long ago cracked down on degenerate anime pornography and strict cyberbullying laws would have elminated shitposting. So we'd need to stick together, you know?

I would throw an enormous party with all the people that treated me like shit in high school because I didn't get laid and went clubbing.
As they're having fun and getting wasted, I would sneak out and go visit all their homes with a helicopter ride, then I'd shit in their showers and beds with the aid of homeless people while they're at the party.
Once I come back, I'd lock every door so they get trapped inside with the homeless.

do you actually realise how much 800million is? its about 500x what the average american will earn in their lifetime. you could buy whatever the fuck kinda house you wanted, since you pay in cash theres no mortgage. your only bills would be heat(if you choose a cold place), internet, and electric. the only reason to buy a small place to live is if you cant be bothered to keep a large place clean or dont want to pay for domestic staff which is what i'd do desu

No, I'm not. But I had only one girl my whole life, and we loved each other. They bullied me so hard tho that life became impossible for her too and she had to leave me because they burnt her cat and destroyed her car.
I didn't even do anything to upset anyone, I'm just an adopted russian, but that seems enough to make people fucking crazy. They told me this was supposed to be "a place for free men" but I grew up in the shittiest way possible. I'd rather not had any adoptive parents at all. Thanks USA.

I act like people on here have won, but I'd honestly be a little scared. How does winning the lottery even work?
I know you can chose the lump sum and a shitton of taxes are taken out of that, but is that it as far as taxes are concerned? Or do you suddenly owe the government like 80,000$ a year on your tax return until you're broke??

Then again, I'm the same guy who saves all his money in jrpgs thinking that I'll need it to buy some thing to prepare for the end boss, and I beat the game without even using any.

You just asked the winning question, anon

Yup. Even though income is only tasked once, if you own a certain amount of money, you get a higher tax tier than the rest of the world

There's a reason all the big companies move their money to other countries to avoid taxes, and you just found it
>>
>>323313848

No.
Because from there you no longer have any more income for the following year. And any investments /etc in the future would be their own things.
>>
>>323313848
the year you win you're in a high income bracket, the next year if you make nearly nothing, you'll be in a lower bracket. If you invest it and make capital gains, you'd be in whatever tax bracket based on how much you make each year

No that's your second project. You would take half of the funds and try to make a great passable game as your first project. If the game looks promising, start a kickstarter and release a demo. That money will come back to you before you even finish it. Once you finish that game, you'll either make your money back or make more than what you started with.

Now if the game was received well, you can make your dream game with more money than you started off with and you don't even have to use it all. Plus you know that since you released a good product, people are going to buy whatever you release next.

The reason their interest rates are higher is due to higher investor risk. When your asset base is as big as it would be if you were the only winner of this jackpot, it'd make way more sense to just invest in aggregate bonds or something. If you won $300,000,000 after taking the lump sum and paid taxes and invested in something with a 2% annual yield, you'd be making $500,000 a month with virtually no risk.

You would gradually be losing money overall due to that not keeping up with inflation, but who cares it would still last you way more than a lifetime.

I'm gonna bring LJN back from the dead, but restructure the company entirely. It will be a publisher for Japanese games, and the localization will be kept as close as possible to the original script, with changes made only when necessary. Censorship will be avoided, unless the game presents something that could be potentially illegal. Also, we will coax the Japs into making PC versions of their games, and even plug them with GameWorks to make some extra dosh.

first things first, try claiming it anonymously. If not, then legally change your name and radically alter your appearance before claiming your winnings.

I would buy a bigger house, not huge, just adequate. buy a couple of flats that I can renovate and rent out.

Buy more boardgames, give some of it to my family, buy some consoles and play exclusives. Also many, many vidya.

I would keep working part-time though, build our my acting hobby a bit in my spare time.

I can dream Harold

I would just live comfortably for the most part. I would build the best damn pc money can buy with an internet connection to match, publish my own novels and comics, and study martial arts fulltime.

I would invest in precious metals like gold and silver. I would also buy a house, but nothing to big.

This guy has the right idea. Modesty, not extravagance. I would splurge a little bit on travel, but other than that, modest home, rent out some apartments for income, either part time job or volunteer work, and then sit on the rest.

NEVER EVER take the annuity, you never know how long you have left to live. Also time value of money means you will be getting less than the lump sum

I'd move out and live in a decent apartment then buy anything I needed then play vidya for a month straight and buy anything I wanted then go back to normal life in my new amazing life
Also I'd have my gf happy all the time and pay off her schooling

>>323321681

They would take at least 300 million from taxes and ect alone, then you gotta pay taxes on that money you have because you entered a new money bracket

So in the end of the year you'll end up with like 300 million or so, which is still a lot.

I would use the money to finally do a 4 player co-op playthrough in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with new Game Boy Advance SPs and gamecube adapter cables. Four Swords Adventure could also be done.

I would donate some to charities that I know aren't going to waste the thousands. I would also give a bunch to my friend who is living a rough neet life in a crowded home who could come back and live near me so we can play games together again.

SOME. Most of it they either fuck the value out of, it instantly drops value as soon as it's bought, or they just lose it.
Cars are insane. A fucking cheapo Honda loses thousands of dollars of value as soon as it's driven off the dealers lot. Clothes and purses and shit? You can't resell that for anything. Most of it would be so expensive nobody would be able to fucking buy it, and if they could, they wouldn't buy it fucking used.
Have you seen how normal people treat their shit? Nobody wants that.
What money they do get back, is probably going into paying off all the debt they fucking somehow got themselves into.

Most of the annoyances of childrearing isn't the emotional side, it's having to change a diaper while the other two children are crying/playing around and you have to take them to daycare and you have to get in time for work. If you're filthy rich you don't have to work, you can have a nanny to help take care of the children and all that shit. Being there when they're sad is not the same as rounding their little asses up so the state doesn't kidnap them for not coming to school on time. I mean if you want to have kids you presumably don't hate them so it's not like daddy will skip out their ball games and shit like that, real parental neglect.
