puukao Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 So someone in Indiana won 500+ million USD dollars. I hate that person, and wish them only bad luck!!!!!!!! lol So the question is......Let's say YOU just won this massive lottery (I know, I know, maybe ONLY 200 million after taxes), would you stay in LOS? Yea, you bought the ticket and immediately got on the plane to LOS. Now you know you won. But you know and like LOS. I still wouldn't buy a place in LOS. I would likely travel to about every city in the Kingdom and then decide. I would likely then travel France, Germany, UK, Spain, etc....nothing to crazy, just "safe" countries. Then decide where to buy. so, would you stay in LOS? let's not kid ourselves, LOS is a lot cheaper than other countries and that is a draw.

neverdie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 imagine how many bowls of mamma noodles one could buy with that sort of coin. And you could endless laps around Pattaya in the baht bus. Grouse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldragon Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Does cheaper really matter if you're carrying 500 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 500million dollars, they will receive approx 280 million after taxes. The 280 million is paid over a period of time. You can sell your 280 million dollars for around 200 million dollars for a one time payment. 200 million dollars is still an obscene amount of money for any one person to posess. Should cap the lottery at 25 million dollars and have more winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I would buy Manchester City football club and an island in Montenegro. Travel around the world, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Japan. Carry 8 mobile devices around with me and pretend to divorce my wife. All while interferring in Thai politics.

anotheruser Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'd enjoy the scrambled eggs at Kappadeli more often...and maybe have a second cappuccino. Ugh I took a look at the golden scrambled eggs again and they look too good. It is your fault if I bankrupt myself eating there sometimes. Whoever would sell 280,000,000 for 200,000,000 is nuts. 80 million buys you a good line of credit. You can buy anything you want unless you are planning to go to the casino and put 200 mil on red or something equally crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 And if you chose to live in Thailand would one still complain when 7-Eleven rounds one's utility bill payment up to the nearest 25 satang. I'd stay in Thailand. Probably travel more than I do now. Probably give most of it away since I couldn't take it with me and the time for that final departure isn't likely to be that far off.

balo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I would catch a 1st class flight to Vegas , rent a luxury suite for many months and become a VIP and socialize with the rich and famous before gamble it all away . If I did not commit suicide after that I would save money for a return ticket back to Thailand so I can continue living the Cheap Charlie life.
