You win $100 million. But, it is nationally televised and u cant donate any of the money. Would you take the money?


I say no.

Recent winner Adrian Bayford, 43, who won £149 million in August 2012, split from his wife of nine years just 15 months after claiming the EuroMillions jackpot.
Now he is reportedly planning to marry a stable girl, Samantha Burridge, who is 16 years his junior, after knowing her for just six weeks.

Can you please explain what "it" is?

marcspoke said...

yes. i have no reason not to take it.

I am not sure I am following either. I get $10 million, but the catch is that I have to appear on national TV and I cannot donate any of my new fortune? If that is stated correctly, I take it and fuck both these fat fucks in the picture (man and lady).

Butz said...

I then set them both on fire.

This all occurs during my national TV broadcast.

10m doesnt seem like enough to get in a tizzy about, imho.

I think Marc is right. 100 Million might help make my point. I guess my point being be careful what you wish for, grass isn't always greener, money is the root of all evil... and all that jazz.

I would like to think I would turn it down. Because what the hell are you going to do with all that money if you can't actually help people? Just buy a bunch of Seadoos?

Butz said...

Or one, very amazing Seadoo.

The Bear said...

Itd be a nice cushion to fall back on... And I could think of a lot of things to do with $10 million dollars.

L said...

Yes, I take the money everyday and twice on Sunday.

Faust said...

I get it. And my wife accused me of being a smug bug for even asking. But, I think it's worth looking at what you gain and what you lose.

I think it's a good question because it's not as easy an answer as it first appears.

Also, there is no alternative response to this question. If you turn down $10 million, you are a fucking idiot. You are not holier than thou and you have just made an unfathomably bad decision. As for donations, invest the money, make $ off it, set up a trust fund, and put a few million in your kids'-kids'-kids' pockets.

And stuff their stockings with SeaDoos.

Faust said...

I still think it is more complicated than you're making it out to be.

Sea Doo Doo

Butz said...

No. No, it isn't at all.

Butz said...

In fact, it is the least complicated problem I have encountered in my life.

marcspoke said...

dont take the bait nick

Adam said...

Agreed. You win $100 million. You take it. How is there any complication to this?

Yeah, maybe I over thought this one.
