What if you hold the winning ticket?

Adding to my previous post, if it was a solo winner of either PB or MM I would go to set up talks with the W Residences in Austin. Some may consider that a bad idea as it would be a quick choice on a big purchase, but having thought about it for some time I can tell you it's not really a rush decision. I've considered living in Austin for some time and have been keeping up with the W since it started construction.

I would probably take the ticket with me to Austin (maybe using wheeltowin's i... [ More ]

Well, I'd bury the ticket somewhere in a mason jar, and then go hang out for a week or so each on St. Simons Island, Ga. and in Blowing Rock, NC just to get to know how to act around my new neighbors. Then I'd go see my lawyer. After that I'd go meet my wife at the Milan Italy airport and slip off down to Venice and take her for that ride in that gondola she has always dreamed of. That is where and when I'd break the news to her. Just hope the gondola oarsman doesn't know too much English.... [ More ]

I would yell Yippie Tie Ya snip snip then I would scan it. Post in in the appropriate Mega Millions/PowerBall Challenge Thread. Wait for Raven62 to post a list of the Winners. Go to Lansing and get ticket authenticated. Collect my check. Deposit in the Credit Union. Then go to sleep. Off buy my dream property. Start living the simple life.

seal it in a ziplock and duct-tape it to my body

Let me know if you need help taping it to your body, Wheely.

I'm always willing to help people in need (women only please, I can't help everybody).

It would be really, really hard for me not to tell others (close family and friends). Something that great happens to you and you want to celebrate with those you care about most, also seal it in a ziplock and duct-tape it to my body then tell everyone it's in a safe deposit box (Don't trust bankers). Have to set up neccessary legal protection so could not sign it right away...therefor the duct tape.

I'd imagine I would be pretty shocked and in disbelief. I would try to hide that for a little bit so that I could get myself gathered and get some plans in place for collecting and then for what I'd do after collecting and I'm sure during that time I'd be acting a little bit odd. I also imagine I would be stressed until I actually collected and got money and then I would let go a sigh of relief.

I'd drink a bottle of Immodium AD Use up a 24-pack of TP a case of wet wipes, because of the excitement of it all. I'd probably have to pop a few nitro tablets to slow my heart rate. After the excitement wears off I'd drink a 1 litre bottle of Coke to calm myself. Then stand in front of the mirror and do the In your face dance.

I'd dbl and triple check to make sure the numbers all matched , then I'd put it in a ziplock bag and place it in a very secure place until I could get to the bank , make copies of it and put it in a safe deposit box . Then I would go talk to some financial advisers and an attorney whom I would want to go claim it for me , this would all take a week or so to get everything settled , THEN I would hire some people to come pack all my stuff put it in storage , THEN I would check out some nice motor...

if I was holding the winning ticket, I'd hold it very very gently and make sure I don't accidently tear that baby up. I might even put it in a Ziploc bag or something. Then I would hit myself in the face a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming

I'd glue it to myself so that I will not drop it when some random British chick named Kirstie tickles me to make me drop it.

Honestly, I'd get emotional ... and then feel ashamed of myself for doing so because extreme emotions irritate me.

I won't know until I do have the winning ticket but I would imagine I would be in extreme joy and a big grin on my face for a long time.

What if you hold the winning ticket?

victorl3ichiban — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:21:08 GMT

Would you still act calm, shock, suprise? describe how your reaction would be like. I am looking forward on this feeling on holding the winning ticket but quiet possibly , i would be shock as hella and probably act weird in a way.
