Default If you won the lottery...

If you won the lottery what car or truck would you get...

Would it be something nice but practical?
Maybe full luxury, the sky is the limit?
Something fast, need for speed?
Keep what you have, won't change a thing a thing?
Other?

If more than one family member, what would you get everyone.
Lottery: say, somthing like a powerball, 100 million

Just curious what ya'll would get.

Are we limited to only one vehicle choice? I suppose so, because then people would just get multiple vehicles to cover different scenarios (full-size pickup for utility, minivan for transport, EV for daily driver, etc.)

If I could only pick one, it would probably be a fast EV like a Model S Plaid. Should easily handle daily commutes, and it would be fast and probably fun to drive. Then I'd just use my current car for everything else.

I would probably start with a 911 GT3 Touring, or even a Sport Classic. ADMs or scalping resellers be damned.

It's possible that I would need to win the lotto twice.

20 percent Tesla, 20 percent Apple, 40 percent my retirement portfolio, the other 20 percent investment property. But of course this is post taxes, which a lot of lottery winners don't think about

This all counts me out, since I don't believe in gambling.

I really wouldn't want to waste it on cars to start, I would use it to accrue enough assets/franchises to ensure I always have more than enough income to never care again.

That said, I would get my four dream cars and call it good since I already have a decent lineup. If I actually had that much money I would probably end up cycling through a few more but these would be permanent additions/I'm working toward them anyway.

LFA (emotion)
Gen5 Viper GTS Calvo 1200 (speed)
Bentley Flying Spur Speed (daily)
AMG G-wagon 4.0 (truck)
