The only one I'd have to import is the gt-r. The rest I can get easily here in the US. The reason I want the 3 rx-7s, and rx-8 is I'm a huge fan of rotary engines. The rest are all cars that I just like. Actually, all the cars I'd get would probably come to about 500k, there are a few more on the list that I didn't mention. In all, I want cars I can actually drive. That's what a car is for after all.

Wait, did I understand that right?
In US lottery if you chose the "pay xM $ per year" and you die a couple of days later, you (or your family) dont get anything? Thats like a million dollar price on your head!!! The US lottery wants you dead, there will be GunslingerGirls after you in notime. |

to be honest I think taking all of the money upfront in most cases works best unless its something like $300 million dollars and you have no family or friends, if you don't have family or friends then taking the money upfront is fine since if you die you could careless what happens to the money however if you do have family or friends then its wisest to take it upfront since if something happens to you then atleast they will have it.

I remember reading that it is best to take the lump sum. THat lump sum is the same ammount the lottery company uses, so if you were to take the lump sum, put it in a bank and not spend a dime of it, just let it accumulate interest, by the 26th year you would have the same ammount as you would have gotton if you opted for the annual payments.

What the! I never had such interesting writing topics! I wish *I* went to a special montessori school for gifted giraffes too! And another thing, your lottery fantasy is a lot like MY lottery fantasy, where I build a big ship and sail around the world forever with a band of pirate-y friends. Except.. I don't have the mule in my version, however, I've managed to recruit segahekui as the sushi chef. Good times!

This post say's it all. You could easily die after 1 year, and no matter what life insurance you have from that it would be nothing compared to the 88mill. But the way it's done just sucks altogether, America sure is weird sometimes.

You people are sounding as if you have the money in your pocket now and you are trying to plan how to spend them .

Yeah they wouldn't want you to go in hiding, or else the public would start to think that the company's employee pocketed the money. With a professional financial planner in the crowd, I don't think I would join in. Just remember, winning a big-ass jackpot doesn't guarantee you a life of luxury. If you find the info of previous jack-pot winners and their current state, you will see that "heck I am happy with my current job" .
