If You Were to Win the Lotto...

I just bought a Powerball ticket for fun and a Lotto ticket. What would be your first purchase if you were to win? I'd buy a house in the River oaks area.
I would look for is some large land so I could have the house I would design built with a large workshop (I like to tinker) in the back.
New vehicle... not sure what but would be more practical than flashy.

I would try to buy a smaller house on the same street or very close by (like less than 1/2 mile away for my "outcall" location. The 2nd smaller house would be decorated to reflect a basic single guy place.

This way when I schedule an outcall it is not the house I live in, but play in.

Would get a pilot's license, love to learn how to fly. Go for an Amateur Radio license, maybe get some registered frequencies so I can run a radio show. Travel a small bit, no cruise lines though.

Take care of my remaining family.
You definitely thought that through. Very wise choices! Would you fly me to Bora Bora? Or some other magical place of my choosing? For the radio show, would it be like a talk show?

Small single engine planes won't cut it, would need to be a twin turbo prop at least with 3200 nautical miles as it is 2600 nautical miles from Hawaii.

The talk show not 75% sure yet. These days "talk shows" are pod casts and done on the Internet. Hell I know some who do live streams on OF for about 1 hour and get tipped around 400 bucks total from all the fans watching. To me that is not bad work for not having any physical contact..

But once you get Technician Class license (they went from 4 to 3) you can run an amateur radio station on frequencies registered to you with no more than 1500 watts. I am a nerd/geek so computers, photography, HAM radios have always been things I love.

Life is too short not to have as much fun as you can afford.

Divorce first. If it is over 20million, I would have some to spend on myself.

Two girls at one time. I reckon I could make that happen if I won the lottery.

Well as noted I had bought a mega millions ticket 3 different times for ATF on the run up over $1B. One time she made me sign the back so I scribbled a non legible signature. Neither she nor I won. So D might be in the cards.

Assuming over $100 Million. First, don’t tell anyone. Second get insurance lined up with cars, property, and an umbrella liability policy. Get kids umbrella policies. Consult financial adviser and maybe a security consultant. Set up LLC.

Build compound outside of the city with not too big a house and very small guest house. Help the kids and charities. Take a 2 or 3 month cruise. If D, spend lots of time in Columbia, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Thailand, and/or Philippines (with a bodyguard?).

Wow, winning the lottery is exhausting.

Pretty much all the PPV sites do live streams.
OnlyFans
Fansly
LoyalFans

you have to be a subscriber to their channel to see their stream

if you have any of these channels you might look into doing live streams on a schedule. The best way is set aside a weekly time slot (figure 90 minutes, 30 to get ready then 1 hour show)

I currently check out 3 different ladies and their shows.. Christy Canyon, Ginger Lynn and Alice Little.
