What one crazy/irresponsible thing would you buy if you won the lottery?

Contributor: SydneyScreams SydneyScreams
I'd buy a really nice car. And a modest sized house with a garage to put it in.

And by "nice car", I really mean some sort of non-American luxury sports car.

I'd also require my modest sized house to have a salt water pool, a gourmet kitchen, a master suite with a walk in closet the size of my current bedroom and a spacious bathroom with a giant bathtub.

Ideally, the rest of the money would then go into some sort of savings account.

I only want to know the one crazy/irresponsible thing you'd buy!

Okay, on ... more

I'm very frugal, so I would have major issues spending on something crazy. I would probably just allow myself to spend more money on clothes, especially after graduation when I get my first industry job.

That sounds like a great way to spend some of the money. And it's a reasonable expenditure given the amount of money you would have.

Wow, I'm having a harder time coming up an answer this than I thought I would! I keep thinking of something and then realize that it would be something necessary or important; certainly not something crazy or irresponsible. I'm also really good about not spending much money, so it's a tough one.

I guess after building my dream house, I would deck out my craft/inspiration room with EVERYTHING I could possibly need (almost, sometimes inspiration requires something a little different). I would also buy containers for every room in my house to keep it all neat and organized. I LOVE little containers and could probably drop a lot of money at the container store!

I would probably start several stores of coffee. Bit a relatively "unreasonable" car would transport me from one to the other.

Some high jewelry, mostly so I can play dress-up with sparklies and pretend to be a princess. Yes, I would want a tiara. Also on my crazy-amounts-of-money list:
Big HD TV/Blu-ray with an updated library of every movie I love
Dropping a couple thousand here at EF
Gifting money to my family
New wardrobe
New house
A housekeeper
A fast internet ISP that doesn't crap out all the time

Oh lord, I'd be in heaven walking around the place! There's a good sanctuary in Arizona called Oasis--my dream spare-time-volunteer-j ob.

Oh, and a Tesla car would be nice.
