If I'd win the lottery...

Post by +Colibri »

Suppose you won 1 mil USD. What would you get?

for me, 1st a house to store the wast amounts of computers. after that:
a couple of these: http://www.supermicro.com/products/syst ... 8052-8.cfm
*drools* http://www.bmw.si/cars/Z4/Z4_roadster/g ... _front.jpg
and this for longer trips http://www.volvocars.com/models/xc70/
after that, a few hired scripters for the shard and free 100$ donation rewards for all.

If I won the lotto I'd be paying all my relatives' bills off so everyone can live debt free.

Then I would put money into programs to teach people how to grow their own veggies.

Of course I'd buy two really really nice gaming computers and a server. Pay off all debts and renovate the house, then hire professional landscapers.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
