Just bought my tickets and was wondering, what would you do if you won $100M?

625 x R35 GTR @ $160K ea.

5 x A380 @ $20M ea.

1666 x R34 GTRs @ $60K each

Besides the usual buy a big house, a few expensive cars, own business or retire and never work etc..

I'd have the usual plus an A380, R34 GTR, R35 GTR, probably a lambo or ferrari, private jet and helicopter, invest the rest into building my own brand of something..

I wouldnt tell a soul, not even my wife lol

...until AFTER the divorce settlement - and THEN claim the money? :P

Aaah, the dog (man's best friend) will love you - no less & no more than - after your win!

Daily: Evo 9 or X

Towcar - unsure yet!

Nice trailer and do the 33 up like crazy, money no object - mmmmmm

Would get a nice block of land and build a nice house - have been planning a house for a while heh, big garage/workshop with mezzanine office

I'd keep working, I enjoy what I do too much, but I wouldn't have the worry of losing my job.

Might spoil family, but everyone owns their houses already so a bit hard to do!

Buy a lot of property - good long-term investment.

Start up a trust-fund for kids when I have them, but never tell them we own all these houses and stuff. So when they turn 25, there's a bunch of money (100k? if they're buying a house, 250k?) - dependant on how high house prices have gone.

There's probably more, but that's a start.

Its funny how people talk about investing in houses and stuff like that, but when you look at it, even if the bank will only offer you 0.5% p.a. return interest on your 100mil, thats 500K that you earn in interest every year, and even if the government takes 50% in tax off that, i could still comfortably live off 250K a year without the headache of worrying about where my money was being invested into.

Even after a few years you will run out of things to buy or spend money on, unless you just start buying rediculous shit that you will never need.

I'm kinda with Damien on the whole live off the Interest thing..

Though with 100mil you could easily hire other people to manage your money for you ..So you still would do nothing , just sit around and watch the money roll in..

I would no doubt buy a nice plot of land somewhere ,10-20acres at least. Maybe start up a little hot rod shop or something from home and spend my time traveling around the world finding/buying rare cars and parts and building my own customs. Create my own brand then sell them, not so much for profit but for my own entertainment.probably build a race car or 2 as well. :D

I'm assuming last night has jackpotted again then cause I didn't win it. :(

I mean i would definately have the house on nice land, a couple of nice cars and help the family, but i wouldn't just blow my money on shit i didnt need like 2million dollar jewel encrusted rims for my blinged out hummer or shit like that.

Even though you'd have the money, you'd still have to keep it real and be down to earth.

Too much money messes with peoples heads.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
