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.

Soooooo much Forgeworld stuff. Titans everywhere.

I play the lotto occasionally whenever I've got enough change.

Build a to-scale Battle Barge.

Bribe GW into redoing the BT Codex to stop my crippling jealousy at the new DA Codex.

Get a Real harley made into the style of a SM Bike.
Then, Tau Manta.
After that, An entirely forge world Imperial guard army.

Collect every army. Bulid a mancave/ gameroom. Also build a grey knight cosplay kitted to scale like I've seen at conventions. Prolly buy some stocks

I really like the idea of the Harley made into a space marine bike

DKoK. I wouldn't even have to think about it. I love those models.

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.

Id expand my Orkz to 10,000pts and pay to have em all painted to a high standard..... simply because I could! Man its nice to dream!

Buy many Great knarlocs, and Devilfish, and mantas. 3 mantas, with 4 DF in each, with 3 GK in each DF!

So if Im forced to only buy GW products with my millions......

A few Thunderhawks, Storm Eagles, Assault Rams, and Contemptors for BT.

Then a full pre-Heresy IF army. Then an Apoc Nid list.

Buy controlling interest of GW.

An eldar revenant Titan and wait throw a score away at the next ten pay checks and I'm there......my missus is going to hate the original poster :-D

Second, in before the Cease and Desist.

Facepalm, thanks for pointing out the lottery thing, forgot lotto was short for lottery.

I'm loving the idea of a space marine Harley.

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.

Well, if we're talking Euromillions, I'd probably build a Titan Legion or two, a pre-Heresy Legion, get my chest eagle tattoo, maybe a a room full of gaming tables.

Probably buy out all the (insert nasty term here) shareholders that want to overcharge us gamers. The company should be run for gamers by gamers.

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.
/thread

Way ahead of you all!

I would create A place for people who could play whatever armies they wanted to for free and I would create a charity for gamers who couldn't afford the costs of the hobby eg. travel, entry costs and the models.

This would just be amazing

At the current prices, I'd buy a tactical squad or two, with maybe enough left over to fill up my car at the gas station.

buy gw..... then using gw profits gained from lowering prices i buy a place on the west coast for wargamers to relax in their natural habitat... a clean sterile warehouse with gaming tables chairs and snacks

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

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.
