Winning big lottery is useless, to spend money on what? When can't travel, have parties

[shootingstar]

I guess you could rip around in an expensive sports car...well, who gives a poop to even look at your car anymore?  Yea, a couple of beautiful bikes only for you to enjoy the smooth, light agility, etc.

Oh, there is much more to life than travel and parties, and this shall pass.

Thank you for saying it in a much nicer way than I was going to.

  Wanna share?  Straw dream.

Imagine winning $65 million and you're going to die in a few wks... ?

I would be happy to win the lottery, lottery money buys a lot of security.  When this is over, I imagine a party or two would be fine, but the lack of financial stress would be the key benefit for me.  I would camp a lot more if I won.

If I won $65 M I would stop putting myself in harm’s way of this virus, and stay at home until it passed. I don’t care if that took 6 months, I’d make that sacrifice!

I think living through this CCP-Virus thing along with most of my family and friends intact and alive, is the lottery.

A $65 million lottery could do so many things right now. I could help out friends in the restaurant/food service industry who are really hurting. I could make sure my family has a financial buffer. I would not be exposed to the public as I am now. I could help people facing a financial burden from testing and illness. I could be a really great guy and still have wealth for when this passes.

Or you can have enough money to by 6 months worth of TP.

Helping some small businesses...is a great idea after doing the financial buffer for loved ones.

Buy some medical equipment for hospitals...

Not the lottery but I have an odd dilemma in that I got a fat bonus just as all this hit.  I plunked down close to $500 on bike parts the Friday before all the closures started happening.  I’m not 100% certain I’ll get those parts as I’m not sure the shop will reopen after this...

Buy a cabin on a lake in the middle of nowhere and stay there for a year

Could be worse.  In CT one of the state lotteries is for $5,000 a week for life.

My kids, animal shelters, and animal advocacy groups would get my money if I only had two weeks. I don't want to die, but I would love knowing I helped them out.

This crisis will pass.  And then you could spend your fortune on fun or accomplishment or however you'd like.

YOu know the Canadian tax system is such that, having way too much money near end of life, you end paying more tax to govn't.  A time where sure, nursing home gets the cut, but one could have used surplus at start of retirement to enjoy while still healthy.  well, if we all recover hale and hearty.
