Yes...in the past (before becoming unemployed) I made several donations...there were several of us that would donate...we need more members donating....but we can't force anyone to do so ...

Apologies for my mistake, I took that information from a different thread. Still, we should not be in a situation where we need to worry

I don't feel duty bound to donate to TotJO if I had that sort of money and don't feel duty bound when I do so now. I donate because I want to

What would I do? Invest in houses, rent them out and get a steady stream of income each month even just up to £1000 a month. Then. I would buy land for a Jedi Temple (probably by moving to America - land is expensive in Britain)

Or buy 100,000,000 1p sweets :P

See, I have my game plan for a lottery windfall.
0\ Taxes are ~35%

Of the remaining 65%, it's split as follows:
1\ Bank gets 40% (of that 65%)
2\ Mother gets 10%
3\ Mother-in-Law gets 10%
4\ Rent is paid for the remainder of the year
5\ If 10% ≥ 100,000$, cash down payment on a house
6\ 25,000$ on my ultimate video game room (Black Knight 2000, Pengo, Ms. Pac Man, all King of Fighters games and variants (Quiz KOF, et al)
7\ Wife gets a custom kitchen with slot-filled fruit dispensers
8\ I get my custom computer system
9\ 5,000$ ~ 10,000$ donation to local blind persons' charity
10\ 5,000$ ~ 10,000$ donation to local Cerebral Palsy charity (matching #9)
11\ I would probably donate to pay for 5 years of server fees to the ToJO just to assure it stays online without threat of plug-pulling due to bills
12\ Fly to where ever Bill Cosby is performing (he's on both my wife's and my Bucket Lists)
13\ Remainder is split down the middle as play money: road trip #4 !!

I keep hearing Roscoe & Boss Hogg saying that "50% of my 50% of your 50%" ....

No, no, I haven't put much thought into this at all. Why do you ask?

If I get 1million in a lottery, I would give away all of it in my way home, and I'll walk home... I don't want windfall money in my life, if wind can carry it to me, it can also carry it from me to someone else.

Community Gardens. I would love to be able to set some up around the country...especially for schools. I'd then buy a lot of land to keep it natural and for the animals. That and pay off debt and maybe invest and grow more money to donate to more places (Inner city youth programs, Mexico, TOTJO, whatever struck my fancy)

I would have me some "all that plus a bag of chips." ;)

Then I would go to Disney World! :woohoo:

Then with the other $990,000.00 y'all can have the rest... I don't really care! :P

hahahhahahhaha :woohoo:

But, I don't guess we'll ever know. I don't plat the lotto and no one in my family has lots of money for me to inherit. :P

I'd take a course in electronics and finally make my doomsday device something more than just a tinfoil-covered beach cooler full of old wires.

I would pay them to make me a bag of chips that was full of chips and not 50% air...

then I would make a $1M bet I was not from England and I would bet it all against myself to lose...I would do this at an English gambling shop...then I would win...seeing as gambling is not taxable in the UK I would then have £1m tax free...
