Lottery Question

February 28th, 2007 kirk 4 comments

What would you do if you won the lottery?

OK, what would you do after you bought that new car (or motorcycle), quit your job, moved into a nicer place, upgraded to non-Ikea furniture, paid off your debt, whatever? I ask because I don’t know what I would do.

This will be one of the themes of my upcoming novel. It will take place over 3-4 weeks while the main character is visiting Seattle and apartment-sitting. He reconnects with old friends and tries to figure out how to spend his time after selling a software business for a moderate amount of money.

The key to the thought experiment is figuring out what you really want in life. The hope is that it won’t really require a $20 million jackpot to achieve.


Things I’ve been addicted to lately: Flickr, RSS feeds, RSS feeds of various Flickr tags, Merlin Mann podcasts, and other podcasts in the TWIT/Pixel Corps sphere.
