SpaceShipOne! Isn't that the craft you pay like, $60,000-$80,000 and you get a nice little round trip adventure around the world? That'd be fun.

Last I heard, estimates for space tourists would be around USD$100K. For the contest, they went up 62 miles (100 km) so technically they were in outerspace and were weightless.

Man, that would be a sweet experience.

But what you wouldn't do, and what I would, is buy Cantr THREE New servers and pay their bandwidth off for several years :D

I'd also do the debt thing.

Invest a bunch too.

The remainder I'd split up. 70% of the remainder stays with me for whatever I want, the rest gets split up into two pieces - one 20% of the remainder, the other 10%. The 20% would be split evently amongst my closest RL friends, and the other 10% would be slipt evently amongst my closest Cantr pals. (And, depending on the lottery size, that share could be anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000,000 :D)


Well I'd probably do about the same, however I'd also put money away or invest it so that There would always be money for Cantr including for upgrades and such (NO THE PD WON'T GET PAID :twisted: ) After buying the things in life that I need and would like to have, I'd also put some money away so it's interest could be my yearly spending budget and in another account I'd have some money, with the interest going to the "Independand Living Resource Centre" which fights for the rights of people with disabilities and also helps them live independantly.


That's about all I'd do.



Oh wait.....Lets not forget a big CANTR BASH for all the cantr players to join in, we will have it here in Canada......why in Canada? Because I plan on winning a US lottery Jack pot........let the IRS take there share......Come back to Canada, Call Revenue Canada, and file the right papers to have the money the IRS took returned to me (I'm not a citizen, there for I don't need to pay). In Canada, Revenue Canada can't Tax lottery winnings....only the interest that it makes in the bank :wink:

Why would you want a gold sword? It's such a soft metal....

Maybe just the hild and handle is gold? OooOooOoOOooOo and then lined with diamonds around the hand guard, so it's that infinitively stronger. Of course the blade should be made with something else.

Japan made and can still make some of the best steel in the world. But I like the idea of the 200 year old Katana :twisted: That would probably have the best steel.

LOL! So this is the quote you posted me, Nitefyre... when I read it, in context this time, it still took me a while to get what he really meant :lol:

This is weird, because I just saw this topic today and I was thinking about it yesterday. I concluded I would buy the rights to Cantr, make a Cantr III, and hire some java programmers to make it into a live action 3-D game. Now that would be sweet....

Oh ya and invest a lot of it and move to a country where I can grow pot legally. 8)

Like, Canada? You can grow it legally as long as you acquire a License, which isn't much. And you can smoke it legally too, as long as you have less than 30 grams on your person at all times :P

Isn't Canada great? (Of course, I don't smoke or grow it :P)
