I don't know what a 300 million dollar gun collection looks like, but I'd find out

[chronical]

This is "fuck you" money so I would do "fuck you" money things

You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub', look, mami, I got the X if you into taking drugs

[DON SVO]

Id keep working, with the "what are you gonna do, fire me?" attitude. Then collect unemployment when they do let me go.

I ever tell you my "if I won the lottery" story from when I worked for Lincoln/Mercury? It involved coming to work in PJs and setting fire to a Dodge Viper.

I would put it all in investments that throw off tax free income. You could probably get 20 million a year. Then i would have a press conference where I would sign up for welfare just to troll the shit out of the social justice mobs on Facebook.

[46Tbird]

I would keep working, too.

I would be known as "boss" but I will be working.

[Baron Von Crowder]

Of course you would, SVO. Of course you would.

I'd be dead or at least have full blown aids within 24hrs of winning that much money.

If I win I'm going to fly in every single miss universe contestant ( current ) and line em up for the most disappointing sex they've ever had.

I would buy a six pack of Natty Light!

You aint gotta be a millionaire to buy a sixer of natty light, hell look at my cousin, he's broke and drunk as shit.

Let's pool our cash.

Buying all of the possible lotto number combinations has happened before.

Well, almost. They only got 80% of the numbers bought but still managed to win the drawing. Here's the story as told by Wikipedia:

"In a 6/36 lottery, the odds of matching all six numbers and winning the jackpot are 1 in 1,947,792. At Lotto's initial cost of £0.50 per line, all possible combinations could be purchased for £973,896. This left Lotto vulnerable to a brute force attack, which happened when the jackpot reached £1.7 million for the May 1992 bank holiday drawing. A 28-member Dublin-based syndicate, organized and headed by Polish-Irish businessman Stefan Klincewicz, had spent six months preparing by marking combinations on almost a quarter of a million paper playslips. In the days before the drawing they tried to buy up all possible combinations and thus win all possible prizes, including the jackpot.

The National Lottery tried to foil Klincewicz's plan by limiting the number of tickets any single machine could sell, and by turning off the terminals his ticket purchasers were known to be using heavily. Despite its efforts, the syndicate did manage to buy over 80 percent of the combinations, spending an estimated £820,000 on tickets. It had the winning numbers on the night, but two other winning tickets were also sold, so the syndicate could claim only one-third of the jackpot, or £568,682. Match-5 and match-4 prizes brought the syndicate's total winnings to approximately £1,166,000, representing a profit of approximately £310,000 before expenses. Klincewicz later appeared on the television talk show Kenny Live and wrote a self-published lottery-system book entitled Win the Lotto.

To prevent such a brute force attack from happening again, the National Lottery changed Lotto to a 6/39 game later in 1992, raising the jackpot odds to 1 in 3,262,623."
