If I won a load of cash

Postby Andrew78910 » Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:52 am

If I won a large sum of money from a contest,raffle,scratch ticket, etc I would donate at least 45% of the money to this game's development. I want this game to never stop imporving and I hope to see it very popular in the future.

Just a positive Post I wanted to say. Anyone who feels like adding something go ahead.

If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. ;)

If I won millions of dollars, I would go to the nearest bank and have $10,000 turned into quarters and rolled up. I would then dump several thousand dollars into an ad-campaign that tells people that they will be given the money if they are able to complete a small task. I will then spend thousands of dollars to rent out a theatre where all of the potential winners could congregate. I will have a stage, a microphone, and several judges sitting in a panel below the stage. I will pay top dollar to have Charlie Sheen, Carrot Top and Ben Stein on this panel. They will be in charge of providing comic relief for the trial to come. I will then narrow down my contestants by grouping them up in a tournament-style elimination system. In order to move on, they will be forced to stand on pillars (roughly the diameter of two size 8 feet) and to stay there as long as they possibly can. The last man standing on the pillar without falling off or quitting will then have a spotlight put onto them where they will then be showed the $10,000 prize (all in quarters). I will then ask them if they are willing to do whatever it takes to win. If they accept, I will then explain to them that they can have as much of the money as they want, provided that they ingest each quarter out of the stack orally. I will then inform them that if they were to successfully consume all 40,000 quarters, that I would give them my entire fortune. There will be no time-limit as to how long it should take them to finish eating the quarters, but the only stipulation will be that if they are ever successful, they must do the same thing with their fortune 40 years later. I will hire the best lawyers to ensure that the legal document agreeing to this is rock-solid and legally binding.

Also I'd give Loftar 50 bux

id actually donate all the money to buy those tickets instead because i know my own luck ;)
but if i happen to win cash somehow for free (without buying such tickets) then id probably spend them all to pay my debt first so i can go back to my regular donation schedule sooner :lol:

You're more likely to win the World Series of Poker Main Event than you are playing the lottery. I saw some number somewhere a few years ago, and it was very significant. Then again, you're more likely to make that several million with smart investments of only a few thousand a year starting when your 18 or so. So yeah, what borka said.

@borka: I don't think I've seen that one before (the tinker one). Not sure I could repeat it without stumbling over it. :lol:

Yes, I'd definitely pass some money on to my favorite indie devs, as well as many deserving charities. Maybe open me up a restaurant and be able to hire someone to run it instead of driving myself crazy(er).
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

A decent bottle of whiskey and maybe a few nice things. Probably nothing would really change.

I don't play the lottery, it's like throwing money away as far as i'm concerned and why would you want to do that! So, i'm never going to win a fortune. :(
What is funny is the amount of times I've said - "when I win the lottery ......" - :lol:

If I did come into a lot of money I would also throw some Havens way, treat all my friends and buy a pc that can run multiple clients, haha.
I've travelled considerably, mainly due to my parents, but i've never been to Africa so i'd like to do that.
Tbh there's not much in life I really want that money can buy, happiness and health are the two most important things and i'm lucky enough to have a naturally happy disposition and atm good health, bar a minor ongoing ear problem, lol. I'd like to do things that would make a positive difference to other peoples lives, so would look for projects where that could be achieved.

My dream is to go into space, but thats hardly very likely, so an improved telescope would have to suffice. :D
