Winning the Lottery and Becoming Promiscuous?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

£100 million, that's enough for any lottery winner to go mad, spend endless amounts and not ever actually run out.

But what of your current partner? Would she be unsure of how it would affect you? Would/Could you run off with someone 'better' just because you could? Even if you said OK, £50 million each, let's go, would she run off with some beach adonis, just cause she's always fancied a go on one?

How would it turn your head? and if you can't answer that, how would it turn your partners? And if you can't answer that either, umm, here are some other people's answers to ponder...

(turns to the left, strokes chin, VT begins...)

I can't imagine £100 million making me more attractive, at least not to people that I'm attracted to.

― Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:10 (twenty years ago)

well, £100 million may not make me more attractive to the person i'm with... but that wouldn't make me less, for sure !
I'm far from being money obsessed but £100 million would be great although a bit puzzling to change and adapt your life. like, would you keep working at your current job ? not sure i wouldn't. i mean, i would want to quit all and do nothing but after a while, may get bored of doing nothing while all my friends work...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:16 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha! "I won't let it change me, I'll keep working." NEVER.

I don't think Mr R and I would get bored with travelling. We both have the same dreams so there would be very little conflict over what to do.

Money never came into choosing a partner in the first place so I don't think it would change my tastes in men if I had millions of it.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:21 (twenty years ago)

but you would travel just the two you for the rest of your life ? no friends, etc ?
it's not exactly my idea of a dream life thinking of it...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:24 (twenty years ago)

We'd set our closest mates up with a few quid. They could join us if they wanted.

To be honest though I don't know if I could handle them 24/7.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:29 (twenty years ago)

Well, getting back to the 'promiscuous' angle, would you be cast adrift searching for some meaning to your life, now the obvious stuff is taken care of? (Housing, Food, entertainment, security)?

Would you bed a hundred bimbos until you got bored with that?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Why should sex come into it though?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:30 (twenty years ago)

BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY YOUR FANTASIES!! Finally I can dye the 100 bunnies pink and invite that man with the law trimmer... purrr....

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:34 (twenty years ago)

just the idea of a hundred bimbos bores me. and in seduction in general, i don't know if i could be very comfortable to make moves with a "i'm a multimillionnaire asshole" sticker on my forehead !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Hmm, well, would that amount of cash keep me out of jail?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:37 (twenty years ago)

why jail ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Being a lottery winner isn't always so great.

― elmo, patron saint of nausea (allocryptic), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Not really but good lawyers (that cost loadsamoney) are good at keeping your sentence down. 100 bimbos is a bit boring. I think travelling the world just visiting friends would be great. Oh and buying a fucking nice flat in the city center to save on taxis. See, being rich means staying that way. IT's the little things...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

being that rich doesn't seem that fun after all (but i could deal with it).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:50 (twenty years ago)

Poor rich AleXTC

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:51 (twenty years ago)

I could handle it no problem.

Was only kidding about the jail thing.... I can't think of any jailable fantasies.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

I can think of a few but they seem to involve substances rather than acts in most cases.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Snuff?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Ah, but then, why drugs? Are you blotting out the reality of the situation? Or no?

Unless that's a new 'lott' question...

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

i think i might die with all the excesses that would follow and end up a caricature in a "live fast, die young" type !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

I dunno man, I wouldn't be blotting out reality (or at least I hope not) more prolonging the magic.. or I dunno... Snuff on the other hand, no. No I don't think I'll be ordering that any time soon!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:14 (twenty years ago)

why order it, you could direct it !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:19 (twenty years ago)

When I die I'd like to be preserved and displayed in a glass case in the Town Centre. (They can take the Cenotaph down and pop me up instead)

Could money buy me this? It's totally obnoxious. Perfect.

Wrong thread but hey ho...

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:20 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:21 (twenty years ago)

Wait? This is the wrong thread for fantasies? Erase mine up above. I also deny having it.

AleXTC: "and action... NO NO NO cut... Look dear try not to be so, well I dunno, stiff in front of the camera, ok?"

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:23 (twenty years ago)

being that rich, i want r-kelly to perform an opern'b suite based on my life at my funeral.

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

I would pretty much follow that Rotten.com checklist. Its pretty dead on, especially with the blind trust angle.

I would purchase myself a fast, but tasteful car - an Audi S8 or something of that sort. I would buy a few nice properties, and spend my days learning to play the piano.

And I would, as my only REALLY extravagant expense, buy myself a Snoop-worthy platinum and diamond chain and pendant. I've always kind of wanted one.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:26 (twenty years ago)

am i the only one who looks at that amount of money and thinks 'its not enough'. the way i think about it:
i give 5 million each to my nearest and dearest - thats 10 people by my count. so thats 50 mill gone right there. i buy a house in sydney, ar, co, or and an apartment in nyc plus a house in umbria at 3millish each thats 18mill. so ive already spent 68 million. then cars, staff, furniture and horses for the houses, + travel and im down to zero in 5 years. nowhere near enough.

the goal is to be a billionaire, right? isnt millionaire a fairly attainable goal, rather than a dream, these days?

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:26 (twenty years ago)

Totally SS but we don't want to be vulgar about the whole thing either. Grabbing for more after a windfall like that is just grubby.

(xpost) My extravagance? Other people's dignity! Dance for me peasants, dance for my lovely money ha ha ha ha!!!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

"and action... NO NO NO cut... errr no, i didn't mean the throat. bring another bimbo starlette."

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

isnt millionaire a fairly attainable goal, rather than a dream, these days?

yeah, but £100 million is a billionaire in my book (as it's 150 million euros, so 1 billion former french francs).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

oh and by the way, we've settled the "keep your job" issue but... would you still post on ILX, huh ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

(xpost) genius!

Billionaires are great. When I grow up I want to be a billionaire just like Bill Gates.

I would post to make you all jealous. Also one needs to remain grounded and not lose all awareness of the little people.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:33 (twenty years ago)

I really worry I would do this. I hope I never win the lottery.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:36 (twenty years ago)

Is this the only parody thread ever to ask a more interesting question than the original thread?

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:37 (twenty years ago)

well, the thing is : we don't really answer the question anyway !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Unsurprisingle enough I'm single so I can't answer the question! I like to think no but who knows...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

I woudl keep th esame lover but I would make people date who I didn't know and I would pay them to fall in love with each other.

― Mr. Latham Green (hanle y 3000), Friday, 27 January 2006 08:35 (twenty years ago)

I'd build a recording studio, hire some songsmiths and a few bimbo starlets, and become the next Stock Aitken Watermen, then watch even more cash roll in. Serious! I've always said this is what I'd do.

Oh and I'd give me boi enough to start his games company, become the next John Carmack, and kick EA's asses from here to kingdom come. And watch even more money come in.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 27 January 2006 09:08 (twenty years ago)

Thinking about it, I probably wouldn't. I still find it scary though, that you could find the perfect person and fall out of their league upwards not downwards...

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 27 January 2006 09:20 (twenty years ago)

why doesn't everyone do this?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 27 January 2006 09:39 (twenty years ago)

Ooooo Trayce OTMFM! Starlets everywhere and you could let other people use the studio and rent it out just like Peter Gabriel. Truly a moneyspinner. You'd want to keep it properly soundproofed though to avoid death by pop!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:00 (twenty years ago)

Well, I bought a ticket anyway. Will let yyou know (like hell I will. If I never post again, you know what happened ah ha ha ha)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:05 (twenty years ago)

If you banked your winning £100 million you'd accrue £4.3 million in interest a year.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:19 (twenty years ago)

so who's playing for real ?
(Trayce, I'd be willing to write some songs for your bimbo starlets... and watch the cash roll in too !).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Can I be the producer on your SAW project? Please? I know ALL ABOUT double tracking and step delay and making singers sound good!

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:27 (twenty years ago)

that was sarcasm

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:36 (twenty years ago)

Mine was not! I'd love to be a pop producer/songwriter! I'd be the new Jeff Barry!

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:57 (twenty years ago)

and i'm a great pop songwriter (except nobody knows it yet !).
ok, so far we have a producer, a songwriter, a studio builder. so we need : bimbo starlets... and £100 million !

PS. I'm not one to talk either: I'm Irish, a tea drinker and smoked for years. Pearly white and straight they ain't!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 13:20 (twenty years ago)

LOL at the idea of the Irish having better teeth than the English

― Dittoismus (Dada), Friday, 27 January 2006 13:24 (twenty years ago)

A but my millions will blind the ladies to that flaw. Or at least I'll be able to afford the surgery!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 13:25 (twenty years ago)

That's true - £100 million can get me some good teeth straightning.

― Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Friday, 27 January 2006 13:45 (twenty years ago)

for 100 million I'd expect some fucking GREAT teeth straigthening!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Those pearly whites better be SOLID PEARL!!!

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Like a period film L'il J0n! Instead of 'Yeah' it'll be hollabacks of 'Verily' and so on. Actually that would be a great use of 100 mill, make a film that can't NOT sell. Total fortune to be made there! "L'il Jon and the Queen "These cookies stay in the JAr" Elizabeth get crunked and shake out the spanish armada! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel that you've learned something and you'll buy the soundtrack.' R0b Schn3id3r to play Drake all making dirty jokes about bowls. K-sweet baby.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:51 (twenty years ago)

Cripes what the hell have I wrought?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure if that's terrifying or the Best! Thing! Evah!

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

It could start off with li'l J0n being made an orphan (he has to have wooden teeth. This is very N.B) by the cruel nobleman (played by Li4m N33son, don't worry he'll do it, the man's a total whore!) with his silver (very N.B. This allows us to show us why he has pearl teeth, oneupmanshiup on L4am or whatever.) teeth flashing, kill his ma and pa! He swears revenge on his fathers name "Crunk J0n" (We might need to work on that). By working hard in the navy he becomes The Man. As The Man and by knocking boots with "she who keeps cookies and other condiments in a sealed container" (Chat up line could involve pearl earrings she might be wearing requiring an accessory if you catch my drift. Pearls will cause people to think of that poor little servant girl in the other film so we need to get Sc4arlett "fish lips" Joh-thingy to play QE1. It will lend the film much needed gravitas) he becomes admiral and totally pwns Li4m (who should have a name suggesting weakness like Unpimp the 1st [look into this bit]) when he runs away from the spanish Ballas. Everyone gets crunked up at the celebratory ball and starts hollering "Verily" like in 8Mile. We sell the soundtrack with that as the lead single and video.

Truly we will all be rich and famous. Love me, love my crunked out Queen Elisabeth VERILY!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

don't think so, no

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 27 January 2006 15:47 (twenty years ago)

Thing that is making me laugh so hard is imagining Johnney B in this role as Li'l J0n.

"Errr... yes! Revenge on Unpimp the First is *definitely* the Way Forward. But first - Tea for anyone, my love? Nice bit of carrot cake?"

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

I am now thiking of JB being a bit like that goat thing in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This really will not do. Seriously people, we're trying to get richer here!

come on guys, I leave for a couple of hours and our brilliant "become a billionaire by creating the next best new thang in pop" plan turns into some poor draft for a gay z-movie with an OST that won't make it into the top 300 moldavian charts ?
my business partners seem dubious suddenly...

― Sim0n Full3r (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:10 (twenty years ago)

aleXTC - it just takes teamwork. We could probably put that it the film somewhere as well. Make it a buddy film involving the queen or something. I'm only the ideas guy, as well as the dark force behind it all.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:12 (twenty years ago)

So, who has bought tickets for tonight yet? I just did online, because I am a sucker :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

a crunk gay farmboys buddy movie film with the queen as a special guest ? (we could call it brokeback...hills ?)

See you there so. I like the stupidity tax, it makes me feel part of something. Have a good weekend all, bring your script ideas to the garage. I'll happily purloin them and claim them as my own. It's the Fuller way (TM)!

There's a massive pile of tickets in the office sweep here.

If I win I'm buying all my friends six months off work, then paying for us all to travel the globe on holidays, coming back every two or three weeks to tell each other recommendations etc before heading somewhere new.

And I'll also buy a new chair, because this one's all torn.

guess i'll find out (andsomehow, i have this silly excitation about it !).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 30 January 2006 12:34 (twenty years ago)

how it works

1. you have a ticket
2. you watch the draw or find out the results after the draw
3. if you have matched several numbers to the results, you've probably won some money
4. if you match every single number with the results, then give me the ticket and i'll show you what to do with it.
