Disclaimer: in Ireland the lotto is where you buy a ticket pick your numbers and hopefully win millions. This is just in-case in another country they don't call them a lotto.

So if YOU won millions what would you do? I'm gonna edit in the best comments onto this post so viewers can have a look at what others are thinking and give them an example.

I'd personally make a space marine legion, yeah all 10,000 marines!

So, how about you?

Lotto, Lottery, it's called the same thing in the states. There's also the multi-state lotteries here called Power Ball and MegaMillions.

Playing the lottery is like taxing yourself, but that's just my opinion. If you're doing it for some fun now and again, that's cool. It doesn't make for a good retirement plan, though.

Soap Box aside, I'd buy a metric gak-ton (not an English gak-ton, mind you) of FW stuff and build a Sons of Horus army.

I'd probably pay somebody to paint my armies to some ridiculous standard, and then somebody else to design a case that would fit in the small trunk of my Ferrari.

I would commission Terraformer to build me a few gaming tables.

Other than that I would probably see if WarMill wanted an investment

My boycott of GW would continue however.

I'd like to start a 1k sons legion made up of all pre heresy models.

But first, pay off college loans, payback a few people that helped me out growing up, and finally buy a small army for our house to be a guest army.

If I won the 480+ million dollar lottery, I'd buy THQ - liquidate everything but Vigil, Relic, Volition, and 4A games and push for the best damn 40k games money can buy. DOW3 would come out 2014, as would SM2, and other games of awesomeness on top of it.

If I won millions on lottery I would buy GW, simple as that.

Then I can go to work and make a company that actually listen to it's customers and fans and push to introduce 40k to much larger masses.

Then hire Piter Jackson to do 40k movie.

Buy shares, rewrite entire fluff. Joking about last part, just xenos fluff.

and 40k was like McDonalds - you could get it anywhere - it wouldn't necessarily satisfy, but it was probably better than nothing.

The biggest thing I'd do is buy a house with a suitable mancave. I probably wouldn't buy many models, since I already have so much to paint, but having a better hobby area and not having to worry about earning money means I can theoretically get everything painted...but probably not, because I'm lazy.

I wouldn't have everything professionally painted, either, because I'm stubborn.
