Re: So, I just won the lottery!
Let's see. Assume American Powerball/Mega-Millions.
Boring stuff - All typical, pay bills buy large "estate house", Invest so i never work again.
Then for fun gaming stuff: Ok, my "gaming room" would not be like most rooms....I'd need a GW room, a historical room, and a non-GW Room. Also maybe a LOTR room - I need someplace for the swords! Also a workroom for terrain and spray painting. (need vent hood - remember Michigan you can't primer minis easily here for 4-6 months of the year at times (ie I had to wait for three weeks to spray stuff for Adepticon because the Mrs. won't let me spray inside the house or out a screen which I used to do back in college) This is not too far fetched. The Mrs. has already told me in the next house I have to have an outbuilding/barn for the gaming stuff....she doesn't want it in the house and is tired of me renting the 2 storage units I already have.
Open my gaming store. Which would be a total store (everything and the kitchen sink) with large gaming hall (to host BIG tournaments), taking over a cinema might be about perfect too (you could have scifi rooms, fantasy rooms, etc.). Restaurant and bar attached (and also open to general public - thinking restaurant with a counter and seating area in the gaming hall, while a regular dining room and bar for the other masses.)
Start my own minis company for a few ideas I have.
Go to whatever tourney's/conventions/etc I want - even if it is in Australia, London or Texas. This may require bringing Mrs. along - She can go shopping!
Would go crazy on ebay. And yeah, it would be crazy.
Actually start painting some of the 1000's of minis I own that are grey or metal, or still in the box. [More than the army or two I paint now - especially when I buy three to four a year ;-(] Basically complete some of those armies I "planned" but never made.
Do a 1:1 recreation table for Antietam, Gettysburg, and Waterloo. At 28 mm size.
Do a huge recreation of Easy Red - Omaha Beach (where my grandfather landed in LCI 88), and donate it to the National D-day museum.
Create a Wargaming miniature museum. Cover as much as I can, basically a Warhammer World + Historicals....Would like to have actual items along with the historical minis - like in Black Powder where they have a Perry collection shako next to the army. Buy estate collections from as many of the big collectors as I could. Definitely get a Duke Seifried table, hopefully a first or early edition of Little Wars, that type of thing.
Oh, yeah....and buy Jes Godwin. ;-p

Oh, and another addition!
Open up my own gaming resort, like a private, for-hire Warhammer World.
And this would be set in a campsite suitable enough that I could host my own colossal LARPing events, complete with longhouses for the various factions to inhabit.
