Everyone on the news is talking about the giant lottery jackpot tonight. Anyone who buys a lottery ticket is buying into the hope and excitement of what you could do with $636 million dollars. People talk about taking vacations, investing, their taxes, but nobody seems to have a very good plan. Here's my lottery plan!
Giant robot factory.
I would hire 10 to 20 engineers straight out of college, buy 20 of the best 3D printers, and get them to engineer the best traveling-nut 3D-printed linear actuators possible. Then we'd build hundreds of them, stick them on some robot frames, and bam, robots!
Fiber optic cables or maybe satellites.
I would decide between buying a ton of fiber optic cables or some satellites and use them to prove a better internet option in Iowa. I'd hire yet another team of 100 recent graduates to lay them everywhere and give people 100 MBps internet for $50 monthly. I'd use the PeeringDB and connect with as many networks as possible, because AT&T's network quality sucks.
Maybe instead I'd buy some wireless spectrum and some technology to achieve the same sort of ends that way - anything that lets people get more, limitless data cheaply.
I'd probably build some trains.
Cars are so silly and inefficient. Trains!
I'd build my own solar and wind power plant.
I like investing in future technology, so I'll be powering as much as I can with solar and wind power, and then reselling it cheaply to everyone in the neighborhood.
I'd probably buy a bunch of land.
And maybe build a lot of buildings. Property usually is a good idea for long term investments that never really go down in value.
I'd have to buy some land in Japan, or a castle somewhere.
I'd love to own something in Japan, but I could also just buy a castle anywhere for two million or so.
Laser to graft my name in the moon.
I own it, so I should probably label it.
Am I running out of money yet? What would you do?
