Forget it boys, don't even try because I'm going to be the winner.
Ok, lets say if you won the $50 million, what would you spend it on/do with the money? First off, I'd pay off the rest of my parents mortgage, buy them each a new car and give them $5 million each, lets just say that totals $10M for easy maths sake. $20M invested between banks and a little bit on the stock market. The last $20M I'm going to buy 20 properties in a new estate out here in rural Victoria, all in one or two streets then develop them into houses, then give each away to family members. The rest of the money I want to open a Maccas store and then squander the rest on other crap I don't need. Then I woke up and changed hands, eat vegemite on toast, brushed my teeth, drove 55km to work and talked about the same subject in the 30 minutes I have before start time. |

Forget 'backpacking' haaa! Me??? God only knows... put it in the bank for a few weeks to ponder, then go buy a Ferrari with the interest I have just earned... Then again... after staying in more hostels then I care to remember when I was backpacking I always wanted to own / run my own... Will buy a ticket!

I like the idea of roughing it in the mountains somewhere, the rocking up to a 5 star hotel stinking of sweat and hard work and being filthy then pulling a Black Amex card out and getting the best room in the joint

Good luck to everyone!
What would I do? I'd buy a BIG house with a beautiful infinity pool and movie room (with popcorn maker and complete bar) and pay off any debts my family and friend's have. Then buy a 2013 Shelby GT500 for me.  OH yea that would be my happy dance! I'd also donate heaps to the causes I believe in and volunteer at. |

I'd do what I always do when I come into large (albeit not as large as 50m). Squander it on stupid, useless **** like bluray movies, pokies and kebabs.

With the 2m that I have left after all that, I might buy a nice house and buy an XR6t and dump every modification known to man, then use the little bit thats left to fund petrol for the next week.

If I won that kind of money, I wouldn't tell anyone...except hubby and the kids. Would give most of it to charity..after all, it would be a lot of money for anyone.

10 million is 10 million but 500,000 a year for ever is a LOT more and should there be an issue in the future with the charity you can always change to another. |

Once spent it's gone. Invest the win then try and spend the earnings from it. At 5% it's $2.5m year

Definately help out family and friends, build a nice house on my land down the coast, buy a few cars and bikes, world trip with the mrs, charity, RSPCA would get a nice chunk on the condition that i could volunteer with them for something to do once all the fun has been had, leave enough invested somewhere so i can live off the interest and pay day to day bills lol

This is going to sound stupid, but how many numbers do you play? I've never bought a ticket before but I think I might as well for this draw.
What do you say to the girl at the newsagent? Hi I'd like to get a ticket for the jackpot? Or...?
