obviously i wouldn't tell my family i won. i'll move away, go to school, and buy up (mostly) passive income properties (laundromats, vending machines, etc), and carefully invest to grow my income. then after i graduate, i'm gonna build my own zoo or an aquarium.

hopefully when i tell my family that "business is booming" they will believe me haha. that zoo/aquarium will be in my family forever. we won't be filthy rich, but we'll be comfortable. i love animals, but i also love my family and want to reinvest that money and not just buy a massive property and fuck off for 50 years, so i think a zoo/aquarium would be a great way of satisfying myself and everyone around me.

i know these types of businesses are expensive, but i'd start small and slowly grow. i can provide a really good place for these animals to live, nice and spacious with all the food they can eat! and since i used the lottery to build/buy the zoo, i'd put every penny of profit right back into the zoo!! i'll pay my zookeepers way above minimum wage. schedule fun events for kids to have fun and just be kids while appreciating animals. donate to anti-poaching rangers in Africa. if profit is high enough, i'll build low-income housing across the country. just to make the world a little better.

ugh, i just wanna win so bad...

if i won with even just $100 million i think that'd be a great place to start.

what would you do? would any of you guys start a business?
