Default if you hit the lotto, what would be the very FIRST thing you would buy?

I'd be straight out the door and to the local Porsche dealership to grab one of these babies:




Porsche 911 GT2 = Win.
Take that for a cruise around town and maybe pick up a hot chick on the way, then worry about the rest of my cash later. :

What would be the very first thing you'd buy when that cash hit your bank account?

First thing regardless of how much cash would be an order for a BF Typhoon. Then depending on how much cash would depend what comes after that.

A silver Porsche 911 Turbo. Then a dark blue BF GT-P with white stripes. Then maybe a nice house, and put the rest away, maybe buy some investment homes.

First thing I would buy would be a Helicopter (I like old Vietnam era Huey's) The Helicopter would be used for statewide trips.

Then I would buy a private learjet so I could jet set all over the world at the drop of a hat.

Then if I *must* lower myself back down to the commoners level and purchase a road vehicle I would buy a Lamborghini Murcielago as a family hack and lowly new Kawasaki ZX10R will do me for my private ride.

I would then need somewhere to abode so a mansion on Sydney Harbour would do complete with private boat launch for my jet boat and multi million dollar yacht. I would then also purchase a mansion somewhere around Surfers Paradise and a ski chalet at Falls Creek. I would probably aslo buy one of the major racetracks, close it down and make it for my own and friends personal use. In addition some property purchases would be made in key major cities around the world and an island would also be a nice investment.

The rest will go into the bank and I will live off the interest for the rest of my life.....

I'd buy myself a nice house, and an investment property. If i could afford a Typhoon after that, then i'd have one of them too.

Any leftover moneys would be invested for retirement (i know, i'm sad).

Dinner for all of my friends and family.

Then, pay off my house, maybe buy a new house as well and then start hunting down my stock XA Superbird. In green/lime.

Depending on the amount, but assuming it was a cool million:

Pay off the current house, and renovate it slightly = $330,000
Put about $75k aside for wedding and honeymoon
Invest $500,000 in mixed assets via a managed fund - with a long term investment bias at a medium to high risk
$100k left over as play money - not sure what to do with it.

1 Million doesn't go that far does it

If it was 2 million, it would be pay off the current house + renovate slightly = $330k
$75k for wedding and honeymoon
Invest 1 million
Pay out existing car ($30k)
Buy a second house with the remaining $550k as about a 75% total purchase price and rent out the first house.

In this exact order...

1. Pay off the house, renovate the hell out of it and resolve never to have a mortgage ever again.
2. Take all my mates out for a nice dinner.
3. Buy 2 investment properties (one in Brisbane and another in Sydney) and GreenMachine's farm in Kenilworth.
4. Take my wife shopping.
5. Buy a lock-up garage just down the road and fill it with my XC wagon, restored exactly the way I want it.
6. Occupy the carport with a brand new Porsche 911 (or is it 997 now?) Carrera 4S. In black. The wife can have whatever she wants, plus a brand new Vespa scooter to replace her admittedly still very young ET4.
7. Whatever's left can go into a managed fund so I can afford petrol.

And above all, I would keep my job because I love it so much.
