Won the Lotto? What's Next?

I'll never win a lottery because I've never bought a ticket.

You should know that your odds of winning the lottery are statistically the same whether or not you buy a ticket :-)

The LOTTO 649 in Canada must be watching this thread????

Tonight on the local TV was an add showing the 649 winners convoying down an Ocean Parkway with 2 Airstream Trailers in tow and a large Class A following up. I did not have time to ID the Class A.

If you have access to Canadian Television, worth watching for.
I searched Utube but it is not on there yet.

Here is one add that might give some good advice to those of us who hope to win????

Colin, I'll see your door within a door, and raise you a window and full polish.

I play when the jackpots get high. Wish they would change those ticket scanners to say, "Looser!" instead of, "Not A Winner".

Jay Leno's Garage is a good example of what I would do after telling my boss that it's been fun...

When I drive my 300LE up the coast of California on a gorgeous day with my wife, I feel like I won the lottery.

Buy RickDavis a new set of batteries!

I honestly don't know what I would do.

I'd trade my Airstream for a Gulfstream and head for Monaco.

well, hmmm,,drop her off at CanAm in London Ontario for a new diesel driveline, aluminium rims, second rooftop air, rewired electrical front to back, updated propane fridge, stove/oven, polished to a mirror finish from top to bottom and lets not forget satellite tv cause we'll be spending a lot of evenings away from our homes in her

[MaryContrary]

Ha! Id invest in hybrid hi torque electric engines...mebe someday get upwards of 40mpg on my 310...yep I can dream! Maybe buy a satellite to finally get reliable internet everywhere..that would be nice.

Great thread Derek!

Well, lets assume that we are talking about a $5+M windfall...
For starters, we would buy a ranch or land somewhere close with some acreage...
The Home would be modded or built.. gotta keep my wonderful woman in the style she deserves!
Then "The Workshop" would be built. I am talking LARGE, and very well equipped.
Skilled Labor would be hired, and the current Airstream would be gutted, repaired, and upgraded where needed...

During this phase, there would be further Classic's added.
This is my list.
1/ A shorty... maybe a 324... for going places you cant get with longer rigs, and also to loan out and travel with family.
2/ A 1990's 360 Diesel pusher.
3/ The rare and ultimate 370. Gotta have one of those!
4/ A Large AS trailer... maybe that triple axle one with the toybox in the back, I think.
5/ A smaller AS trailer to tow behind for other occasions.
All of the above would have subtle mods and upgrades like Diesel drivetrains, and solar...

I bet my RV wish list would be far less than buying a new or pre-owned Prevost....

I would certainly have bid on that Orvis Timeless Travel Trailer Airstream last year!

Spend way too much money on my 310............wait a minute........can you spend TOO MUCH $ on ART.....
