Persephone Emerald Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) What would you do in SL if you won the Lottery? I don't think I'd want to bother with owning a whole region. I think I'd keep my Victorian, buy myself and Alycia each a Premium Plus account, get her a Ranch Home, and get a nice 1024 m coastal mainland parcel with the rest of my tier, just to landscape and use for a building skybox. I would donate regularly to groups I want to support, but space out my donations among my alts, so they wouldn't hit me up for bigger donations or try to talk me into a managerial role. Thanks to @Katherine Heartsong and @Rat Luv for this thread idea. Edited February 20 by Persephone Emerald To add credit to those who gave me this idea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Luv Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I deleted my post in the other thread but...I honestly think if I was rich enough to crash sports cars into the sea for real...I probably wouldn't be on SL  Feels negative to write that! But am just being honest... If I could only win the lottery by spending it in SL...either create a few open access parcels for classes like the ones I found when I was new on 2010 (teaching people how to build or DJ or script particles)...or maybe buy Freebie Galaxy and list it as a heritage build so it never gets deleted 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTUS Palianta Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It's hard to know because real life would be so busy and fabulous you probably wouldn't have time for SL anymore. I guess I'd buy myself a sim and build my shop and home on it and give the people that have helped me over the years a pile of lindens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But am just being honest... Same for me. There are a zillion things I'd love to do in life and if I won that kind of money, I'd be off doing all of that. "Delete my account" is my answer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'd hire people to finish my Second Life projects, then hire people to create a legacy for me as a "Beneficent Land Baron". Â 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If I won big, I'm not sure how much I'd be in here. And no, I wouldn't finally buy a mesh head 😂 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If you won the BIG lottery, just go ahead and buy Second Life. How badly could you screw it up? 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZennyRose Balhaus Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If I won the lottery, I would buy more sims, so I could try out all my crazy ideas design wise. But I would also be having a wonderful time in the real world spoiling my family and friends 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I thought of a good one. After I bought Second Life, I would make finishing the "Puppetry" viewer a priority. Then, I would have an "all employees" meeting with all Lindens - and also the Moles (in case they are Contractors) in-world, and use the Puppetry feature to make them dance. While cackling evilly. "Dance, little man! Dance!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Heartsong Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I'd pay to fly to 25 of you to New York City anonymously, to all anonymously meet in a large room with 25 computers set up, angled so no one else can see your screen but you can see everyone, all log in at once with your main account and meet in my 30K sim garden in world for a private party. Now ... who's who? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlammedSam Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 SL wise, I would likely finally open a few sims, and really create a city. Or devote some sims to assorted themes, like cyberpunk, WW2/1940s, sci-fi. Perhaps a water sim with aircraft carrier for RP battles. RL? Likely lead the same life I do now. Put the money away, and just use the interest to live off, pay bills and such. ~shrugs~ Oh, and an even better computer to run my SL!

Arwyn Quandry Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I'd hire people to design an amazing mesh body and offer it for free so I could crash the mesh body market. So long, Maitreya, eBody, Legacy, and the rest! 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Nova Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I would continue to be in SL maybe not as much but it's a big part of me so I'd buy and full region and build the place I've always wanted to do but never had the money lol  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd continue to live frugally for the most part, but with a bunch more money in savings accounts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerCity Elf Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I'd be rather busy in RL for a while, helping family in less than fortune living situations. I probably wouldn't change much if anything in my own real life, apart from travelling to and staying a long while in a handful of favourite places. When I'd have time for SL again, and I'm pretty sure, I'd return there, some kind of paid account again, and maybe my own homestead or full region to tinker about, but maybe rather spend my SL time in other people's roleplay sims, there's already too many sims, roleplayers spreading thin. Most probably, I'd regularly get L$ in addition to my premium allowance, and tip generously. Maybe hang out at new player places, freebie stores or such, and gift some of them L$ as a surprise welcome. Maybe gift Mad Pea or other giftable "event stuff" to people who wonder what to do in SL, things like that would be fun. I'd probably do all of the latter on a new alt, specifically only used for that kind of thing, an alt that nobody could claim was bad 😛 ... well, some people would still find a reason to label that alt as bad, I guess Edited February 21 by InnerCity Elf typossss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylinbridges Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I'd increase my tipping at clubs from 100L$ to 200L$ per night. And spend lavish amounts of $Lindens at the Social Casino. Increase my wine budget too, to $10 bottles with corks... That's about it If I decided to buy LL, I would station the Linden who thought the Social Casino was a good idea in Antarctica, on a melting iceberg.  Edited February 21 by Jaylinbridges 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arduenn Schwartzman Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A bag with 16 Chupa Chups costs 1.99 Euros at the Albert Heijn. If I win one million Euros at the lottery, I will be the happy owner of 8,040,201 Chupa Chups. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also pay a few of the top designers to spend 6 months making a wide assortment of clothes, skins, and shapes for said body, so that when it drops there's already support. I'd fund this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I'd want to keep in touch with my friends in SL, so, even though I might suddenly be able to afford that top-of-the-range computer and ideal house for me, I'd be here. I'd buy a heap of regions and keep some for building a world I imagined in my youth, and set aside plenty for friends to live in free, if they wished. I'd also look into a region aimed at cancer research in the UK as well as donating in real life. That'll do to begin with. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Winning a real big price in a lottery means that inevitable a lot would change in my RL. Dying rich isn't really a solution, I don't have a partner or kids. So I would redo my bucket list for sure, with trips all over the world. And a nice house at the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in northern Spain or the south of France. I would stay in SL as well. One or two regions would be nice, just because I could. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I would be the same humble, demure, shy, self-effacing lion that I am today. Â 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
