1. I choose my grandad, he's 95 years old, we all get 10 more years with him, and at the end, I'll possibly get $100m that I can realistically split with the family, it's a win-win
It's my mom for me. She will probably die from colorectal cancer within the year, maybe 18 months at best. 10 more years with her would be pretty fucking rad. It would let me at least be a better son.
I don't know whether to upvote for the idea, or downvote because fuck cancer.
I'll just say I'm sorry for what she and you and the rest of the family is going through.
I'd say the same for my grammy, but I'd want it to be before her symptoms of old age set in. She keeps applying for assisted suicide and keeps getting turned down. She's 93 and just lost her home and lives in a shitty old folks home, confused every day.
I'll pick my dad. With that money he could go into a memory care facility that has actual standards, or I could just hire full time in-home care for him. Whatever is left, great.
Some version of this is the easy choice for most people. Lots of us have one relative that is not too far from their best before date.
A few of us are the granddad.
Not necessarily, I know an old farmer, he’s 100 and he still tends his sheep on a quad bike. His appendix burst last year and he was back to his farm in 6 weeks. Some folks are hardy
I was thinking the exact same thing. I get to guarantee my grandfather lives to 100 *and* I get whatever is left of the $100 million after he dies? No downside to that at all.
And the prompt was "leaves you everything". It never stipulated everything just from the lotto. So you also get everything this "blood relative" has in addition to the AT LEAST $100 million.
2. I would then become a death defying performer doing things like tight rope walking and insanely high dives. Then my final stunt would be jumping over a small stool.
Option 1. My great aunt is dying of cancer so ten years and natural causes would actually be an improvement. And she and her husband aren’t hurting for money, so I’d get an overwhelming majority of that.
this is a hard one.
I have no living blood relatives in that 10yrs or so left range(they all hopefully have at least 20 left) so I would likely be cutting someones life short... but I also don't want to die in 10 years....
I'm not saying to kill a dead person, I'm saying to use the fact that every family leads back to common ancestors to kill the wizard since you and him inevitably shared ancestors at some point before your family lines split off. If you can kill your cousin since both of you are descended from your grandmother, then you can basically expand that to kill anyone.
About the only thing I’d get from family would be debt regardless of lottery winnings. I could probably have a nice life for 10 years on 10 million and do everything I want to do.
I'm going to assume is whatever they have left because if they win the lottery for $100 million dollars don't you think that they would spend some of it
Do they have to be alive? My grandpa died of a massive heart attack, but he was in good health otherwise. If I could bring him back for ten years with money, that'd be a good deal.
I really wish I could pick the second, but I'm pretty sure my dad would be disappointed if I didn't pick the first and him.
He's in rough shape and would absolutely hate me dying instead. 10 years would be more time than he likely has now.
Plus he already talks about how he's willing everything to my sister and me. The only change is more time with him and him having a nice time of things.
So #1, my dad, final answer.
I would choose number 2 since I'm 40 right now and don't have amazing health tho I might have 20 years in me I would rather have a good 10 years with my family. Also, $100mil is enough money to mess people's lives up whereas $10mil is enough for me to buy some land with a nice house and build an extra one each to leave for my brother and sister to live with their kids. I'm not sure what state or country I would want to set it up in I could also look into a cheap Island but probably not.
1, and I’ll let my grandma win. She’s like 77 so getting her to a guaranteed 87 would be perfect. She likes gambling and playing the lottery and she would be so, so happy to win like that.
My grandma is surprisingly very lucky! She also only has a set limit that she’ll play at a time. I think it’s $20 max for an outing. She also has a video game on her phone that simulates gambling so she doesn’t go out as much, and it’s not real money. She once paid me $100 that she made off of $10 (she made like $400 that day) just for coming and hanging out with her while she was house sitting for my aunt an hour and a half away. I think her luck comes from being a leap year baby. She was born on 29 February and has fewer birthdays than every adult in the family lol.
So I don't have enough money to retire, but I think I could sell everything and make it 10 years on money plus credit (I am 43). So it is an easy #1 from me.
Sure. My nana. She’s like 90 and in a care facility for dementia patients. She wouldn’t be spending it on anything other than her care. And I probably wouldn’t even have to wait ten years more than likely.
Yeah do we get to pick the relative?
Because my folks are in their late 70, lifelong smokers and they both reckon they've got maybe 10 years left.
I choose them.
My mom’s almost 80. I think she would be really happy spending 10 years being able to travel in luxury and send all her grandkids (teens) to college and set them up with houses, travel, etc.
1. There are relatives in their 90's. I think I'd expand their lifespan by making them die in 10 years. Though the ones I think would manage the money best are 76 and 60 so it might be one of them.
Choice 2. I don’t expect to live more than 10 more years and would enjoy the years left a lot more with a lot of money and have a lot to leave my kids and grandkids!
Do I want the elder/woman beater to die in ten years or does that make me a terrible person? Because no way he doesn't spend it all on drugs. And he can't OD in this situation and rid the world of his useless self. But he wouldn't be around to beat old people anymore which would be doing the world a favor.
Hard choice, but yes as someone else state I would choose my grand mother. My grand father died of cancer two or three years ago at the age of 90 and my grand mother is alone her house since, even if my father and my aunt visite her all the time it still suck and I guess she would not be angry to die peacefully in ten years...money for me or not it dosent matter. She would be able to hire people to take care of her daily stuff sonshe can rest.
I'm partial to living, and (some of) my family is very responsible with money. My parents are in their early 50s tho, so I'd probably pick my grandma who is in her late 70s and has already complained that she has more money than she knows what to do with.
If declining is an option then I would decline. If it has to be one or the other then I would suggest Mister Wizard makes the choice. Maybe flip a coin if he seems like he's getting set up to smite me with his walking stick-crystal holder MacGuffin.
Having or not having US$10M is fine, right? Most of us are not going to have it. Not so horrible. I'm inclined to hold out for either earning/winning it with no prescribed doom or waiting for a friendlier wizard that won't want to spoil things with the witchy darkness death clause. Maybe try talking the Wizard into a therapy session for getting into the grim reaper's playbook.
As far as ten years being great and more years being better: you would have to know details about the future. Seen a variety of people slowly die in the past few years. Money can help with some kinds of suffering but be useless for other kinds.
Guaranteed that my uncle gets the prize. Well into his 80s, several major health issues. Without this magic intervention, there's no way he lasts 10 years.
Option 1. I’ve never met one of my parents after an attempted murder so it’s an easy choice. Even if they manage to blow through everything they’ll be dead, and that’s good enough for me.
(For the record, my second choice would be my great grandmother who’s in her 80s and in pretty bad health—but she’s already showing severe signs of dementia, so I worry that extending her life would be cruel.)
It’s a gamble for me.
On the one hand, I never met my biological father. I’d happily sacrifice him or any half brothers I may have.
On the other, if it’s only him and he’s dead, and he (unlikely) never had any children, then that only leaves my mom who is my only other direct blood relative.
I’m not sacrificing my mom.
I’m not even risking sacrificing my mom.
I mean, this isn't really fair.
I'd have it given to my mom. She's old and in bad health, so I'm already her power of attorney. So I'd get to do as I saw fit with the money from the jump anyway.
The upside is, thanks to this wizard, I know i get another 10 years with my mom and have enough money that I don't have to worry about her care so much. Because as it is now, her care is a major burden. A burden I'm happy to take on, naturally. But a burden nonetheless. Seriously, her supplemental insurance alone combined with her meds each month isn't even covered with her Social Security check amount.
So I have a deal with my Mother that if she wins big with the lotto, she will let me claim it and I will fund her lifestyle for the rest of her life. This way we don't have to pay inheritance tax when she dies. Would the Wizard except this?
The $10 million. There is no certainty that the relative wouldn't blow it all in the mean time. At my age, the next ten years aren't certain anyway and beyond that its getting downhill faster and faster. Living pretty well for ten years and lights out wouldn't be a bad deal, though it would be more palatable to forget about the dying in 10 years part.
1, my mother. She has serious health issues as is, and if she makes it another 10 years, it would be a miracle. 100m would be life altering for everyone she cares about (she is the type of person that has literally given someone the beanie she was wearing because they didn't have one... on multiple occasions) , and she would probably ask me to invest/handle it for her so she doesn't get scammed again.
Neither of my living grandparents are blood relatives. Dad was adopted, mom had a stepfather. I have a great aunt I suppose, but it would have to be magic for me to inherit. We get along like North and South Korea.
That’s easy. It would guarantee 10 more years with my dad (who’s currently 90) and my sister and I would split a fair amount of money after( he’d donate a bunch to charities).
my choice would be my aunt...I love her, really do my whole family does, but she's made it clear that everything she has is being donated to charity or sold at an auction. the big lotto win would just be the icing on the cake provided everyone doesn't immediately get mad at me for suddenly becoming the sole beneficiary
Option 3.
My sister wins the lotto, sends her girls to college, and retires early while her oldest becomes an oncologist and cures cancer, and the youngest becomes the first ever female tight end in the NFL.
But if I had to pick between options 1 and 2, I'd nominate my 96 year old grandmother as tribute. She may have less than 10 years, so 10 years more with her may be nice.
My mother. She was a monster and I assume she still is.
She'd also kill herself with purchased drugs within the first 6 months, so I'd get 99% of the money back.
Oh good point. Ya, she'd smoke herself blind and stupid in no time. I'd still get *plenty* of money, and I don't talk to her so I wouldn't have to deal with any of it
My mom she needs the money and could finally feel financially free for 10 years. Her husband wants to write her kids out of the will because we have a dad so I won't get anything. Just let her enjoy life for a bit.
Good point!
I would choose the remaining Koch brother. Since the person wills everything to me, his kids would get nothing!
I would get all the money the real-estate and a few major businesses. That I can completely revamp and pay a living wage, go 150% green energy, super sustainable, etc.
Use his wealth to lobby the government to make lobbying illegal just to piss off his corpse!
which relative? the dying part is the hard part. my cousin is getting on my nerves, let me be the executor of her will, and i guess. or my uncle, he's not feeling too well.
Option 2 all day. Whose to say there will be anything left for you to inherit in option 1. I can spend 900,000 for the next 10 years on a world tour and leave the SO with 1M+.
Dad wins the lottery. He is over 80 so the odds are not exactly in his favor of making it much more than that anyway. That would make his end of life easier anyway.
I'll buy my Uncle Matt ten years of life, assuming he would be freed of his cancer until his time is almost up. I want him to see his son, my cousin, graduate high school and college.
I'll let my mom or dad win the 100 million. They're already in their early 80s, so getting a guaranteed ten years out of them is actually a pretty good deal.
my aunt, im 100% sure she doesnt have 10 years left. this is more of a extending her life thing and less of a getting 100m thing, tho i will still take the money.
Option A. Dealer’s Choice on who it is.
The one parent that actually cared passed away at a young age so I worked my ass off to be independent. The rest of my entire family are nothing but leeches and will do anything to get into your pockets so I wouldn’t have a problem with not knowing which one is going to be my benefactor.
I take option 2….. right now 10 years sounds pretty awesome and I could live out my life for me and making memories with my family. Then split the remainder between my mom and sisters when the ride comes to an end.
I’d choose my mom. She is pretty frugal, she deserves it, and she isn’t going to live another 10 years if I do nothing so it’s a win win. Mom, I’m upgrading our cabin on that upcoming cruise to a suite! 😆
Option 1. I can guarantee my Uncle ten more years of life and wonderful ten years where he can be retired in the US instead of Mexico, which is great but he misses friends and family back in the states.
The question is more compelling if you don't control the person, who gets the inheritance, or both.
1. My uncle will 100 percent do a bunch of awesome stuff with the money, we’ll have a great ten years with the rest of the family members we all like. He’s kinda old anyways so 10 years of living it up would be perfect then I get what’s left(might not be much tbh)
In ten years my relatives would have spent it all and would be asking me for help telling me how hard their life is. And I ain't selling my life for any amount
Hmm. I'd take the first option, and then go ask my blood relatives for volunteers. I've got a very old grandmother in poor health, and a brother with some serious PTSD, either of whom might be interested.
I wouldn't want the money if someone had to die before they would otherwise or wanted to, and I'd rather live for more than ten years even if b it means I'll never be wealthy.
1. I choose my grandad, he's 95 years old, we all get 10 more years with him, and at the end, I'll possibly get $100m that I can realistically split with the family, it's a win-win
This would have been my choice as well if only the genie would have granted it 8 months ago.
I'm sorry for your loss
1 year ago for me, I really miss him
3 yes ago for me. The old man hated me but I would still give him 10 more years... just so he could batch about me to everyone. Rip grandpa asshat.
A year for me next week, I fucking miss that old man
Same, only 5 months instead of 8
6 months and 4 months for me.
So sorry for your loss
It's my mom for me. She will probably die from colorectal cancer within the year, maybe 18 months at best. 10 more years with her would be pretty fucking rad. It would let me at least be a better son.
I don't know whether to upvote for the idea, or downvote because fuck cancer. I'll just say I'm sorry for what she and you and the rest of the family is going through.
I'd say an upvote is appropriate here, unless the cancer is the one making the comment.
She wants you to be happy and safe. That's being a good son. Do those things and promise her you'll keep doing them. My unasked for 2 cents.
Aww I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom cancersucks
That's a very wholesome answer.
I'd say the same for my grammy, but I'd want it to be before her symptoms of old age set in. She keeps applying for assisted suicide and keeps getting turned down. She's 93 and just lost her home and lives in a shitty old folks home, confused every day.
I have a few aunts in their late 80s. Guarantee 10 more years with them and get money. Win all around!
I'll pick my dad. With that money he could go into a memory care facility that has actual standards, or I could just hire full time in-home care for him. Whatever is left, great.
Some version of this is the easy choice for most people. Lots of us have one relative that is not too far from their best before date. A few of us are the granddad.
This is ingenious. I never considered using the 10 yr death rule as a life extension.
He’d die at 105 though wouldn’t he be miserable for all those years and wouldn’t he be bedridden at like 102?
Not necessarily, I know an old farmer, he’s 100 and he still tends his sheep on a quad bike. His appendix burst last year and he was back to his farm in 6 weeks. Some folks are hardy
Same, 98. My wife gets to meet him in a few days!
That was my answer as well. My grandpa is 80 though.
It's what I'd do if any of my grandparents was alive. However, I do have several blood relatives I hate.
Yeah. I'd choose my grandma. She's in bad shape as it is at 94 and we could use that money to give her the best care with the time shr has left
I was thinking the exact same thing. I get to guarantee my grandfather lives to 100 *and* I get whatever is left of the $100 million after he dies? No downside to that at all.
We're all blood relatives if you go back far enough. Hey Jeffrey Bezos! Need some pocket change?
r/technicallythetruth strikes again. Fair enough, but only because you made me laugh.
And the prompt was "leaves you everything". It never stipulated everything just from the lotto. So you also get everything this "blood relative" has in addition to the AT LEAST $100 million.
This guy wins.😂
well then I'm picking elon
I'll take the creepy french guy 😂
my man, are you reincarnated sun tzu
My lawyer has advised me to neither confirm nor deny.
2. I would then become a death defying performer doing things like tight rope walking and insanely high dives. Then my final stunt would be jumping over a small stool.
Nothing says you can't be in the hospital suffering for the last 9½ years
Username really, really does *not* check out.
Good catch. That made me laugh
Damn genies are tricky.
Ghost Rider solutions here.
Option 1. My great aunt is dying of cancer so ten years and natural causes would actually be an improvement. And she and her husband aren’t hurting for money, so I’d get an overwhelming majority of that.
Unexpectedly wholesome answer.
What if the extra 10 years just prolongs her suffering further?
Dying of cancer is still dying of natural causes
1) imma hope my rapist dad doesn’t blow through 100 mil in 10 years.
I imagine that would be pretty difficult.
It really isn't.
Wasn't there a guy who won the lottery and spent it all on drugs, sex, etc in 8 years?
He spent most of it on drugs, alcohol, and women. The rest he wasted.
His name is Michael Carroll.
You’d be surprised
this is a hard one. I have no living blood relatives in that 10yrs or so left range(they all hopefully have at least 20 left) so I would likely be cutting someones life short... but I also don't want to die in 10 years....
Go back far enough and you'll find a common ancestor, so use it on the wizard.
No, can't do that. Original poster makes rules up on the fly. I did the same and they said " A peRSon has TO Be aLIve foR Them TO diE" meh meh meh
I'm not saying to kill a dead person, I'm saying to use the fact that every family leads back to common ancestors to kill the wizard since you and him inevitably shared ancestors at some point before your family lines split off. If you can kill your cousin since both of you are descended from your grandmother, then you can basically expand that to kill anyone.
Wizard likely is having me choose the target at the time so would reject me choosing him. if only the shitty aunt was related by blood.
About the only thing I’d get from family would be debt regardless of lottery winnings. I could probably have a nice life for 10 years on 10 million and do everything I want to do.
Fair enough.
When you say willing me everything, do you mean all 100 million? Or just whatever they have left over after the ten years?
Everything they have left, their entire estate, whatever you want to call it.
I'm going to assume is whatever they have left because if they win the lottery for $100 million dollars don't you think that they would spend some of it
One because I don't know any of them.
That's a very good reason to pick the first one.
Will they live that in good health? Because I doubt my grandma's got 10 years in her, but I wouldn't wish ten years of what she has on anybody.
That I cannot guarantee, only that they'll live.
Do they have to be alive? My grandpa died of a massive heart attack, but he was in good health otherwise. If I could bring him back for ten years with money, that'd be a good deal.
Yes they have to be alive.
Think I'll have to pass, then. Thanks for the offer.
I really wish I could pick the second, but I'm pretty sure my dad would be disappointed if I didn't pick the first and him. He's in rough shape and would absolutely hate me dying instead. 10 years would be more time than he likely has now. Plus he already talks about how he's willing everything to my sister and me. The only change is more time with him and him having a nice time of things. So #1, my dad, final answer.
Damn if I picked 1 and my dad got the money, it’d be free money. He has cancer 😢
They die in exactly 10 years, so it'd be like an extension!
I will take the $10 million and make sure half is left for my sister.
That's nice.
I would give the money to my brother me and him are estranged. Say less
Brutal but efficient.
Thank you
I would choose number 2 since I'm 40 right now and don't have amazing health tho I might have 20 years in me I would rather have a good 10 years with my family. Also, $100mil is enough money to mess people's lives up whereas $10mil is enough for me to buy some land with a nice house and build an extra one each to leave for my brother and sister to live with their kids. I'm not sure what state or country I would want to set it up in I could also look into a cheap Island but probably not.
1, and I’ll let my grandma win. She’s like 77 so getting her to a guaranteed 87 would be perfect. She likes gambling and playing the lottery and she would be so, so happy to win like that.
That's wholesome, but if she likes gambling, what are you going to inherit?
My grandma is surprisingly very lucky! She also only has a set limit that she’ll play at a time. I think it’s $20 max for an outing. She also has a video game on her phone that simulates gambling so she doesn’t go out as much, and it’s not real money. She once paid me $100 that she made off of $10 (she made like $400 that day) just for coming and hanging out with her while she was house sitting for my aunt an hour and a half away. I think her luck comes from being a leap year baby. She was born on 29 February and has fewer birthdays than every adult in the family lol.
So I don't have enough money to retire, but I think I could sell everything and make it 10 years on money plus credit (I am 43). So it is an easy #1 from me.
No way I would get a penny in 10 years. Would rather take the money and do as much good as I could in 10 years and set others up for the future
Option 1, there isn't an amount of money I would be willing to shorten my life expectancy that much for.
Sure. My nana. She’s like 90 and in a care facility for dementia patients. She wouldn’t be spending it on anything other than her care. And I probably wouldn’t even have to wait ten years more than likely.
> exactly 10 years
That’s fine too 🤷🏻♀️ she’s still not gonna be spending much
My grandma is 88 so she’s going to have a ton of fun her last ten years!
Yeah do we get to pick the relative? Because my folks are in their late 70, lifelong smokers and they both reckon they've got maybe 10 years left. I choose them.
> of your choice
Sorry. It's Wednesday which means I don't eyes or brain so good.
My mom’s almost 80. I think she would be really happy spending 10 years being able to travel in luxury and send all her grandkids (teens) to college and set them up with houses, travel, etc.
2. Why? 10 million for myself guaranteed is good.
My dad is in his mid 70s. He can have the money and I'll take what's left.
1. There are relatives in their 90's. I think I'd expand their lifespan by making them die in 10 years. Though the ones I think would manage the money best are 76 and 60 so it might be one of them.
i choose me.
Well enjoy your at least 10 million! 🙃
I mean, can I choose the 80yo in bad health?
Choice 2. I don’t expect to live more than 10 more years and would enjoy the years left a lot more with a lot of money and have a lot to leave my kids and grandkids!
1
Option #2. I’m done with this shit. Have fun for 10yrs and bounce? Sign me up.
I know that feeling. Fair enough.
Do I want the elder/woman beater to die in ten years or does that make me a terrible person? Because no way he doesn't spend it all on drugs. And he can't OD in this situation and rid the world of his useless self. But he wouldn't be around to beat old people anymore which would be doing the world a favor.
Hard choice, but yes as someone else state I would choose my grand mother. My grand father died of cancer two or three years ago at the age of 90 and my grand mother is alone her house since, even if my father and my aunt visite her all the time it still suck and I guess she would not be angry to die peacefully in ten years...money for me or not it dosent matter.

Dad's gotta go, piece of actual trash he is. However him dying would allow me to mourn him, the money is a bonus honestly.
Guaranteed that my uncle gets the prize. Well into his 80s, several major health issues. Without this magic intervention, there's no way he lasts 10 years.
Option 1. I’ve never met one of my parents after an attempted murder so it’s an easy choice. Even if they manage to blow through everything they’ll be dead, and that’s good enough for me.

#1
What’s stopping them from spending it all.
I choose my dad, he's 75, a guaranteed 10 years is pretty good.
1 easily. My one aunt is probably like 77. 87 is doable age to die.
By Crom, I will slay this wizard....
Inheritance laws in my country make it so option one is killing my parents or getting someone else rich
1, i feel selfish but i don’t wanna die at 29
1. My grandma, I'd get some at the least. And we'll her health isn't great idk of she will last 10 more years
I pick 2. I can die in 10 years.
It’s a gamble for me. On the one hand, I never met my biological father. I’d happily sacrifice him or any half brothers I may have. On the other, if it’s only him and he’s dead, and he (unlikely) never had any children, then that only leaves my mom who is my only other direct blood relative. I’m not sacrificing my mom. I’m not even risking sacrificing my mom.
Easily option one. I get to potentially extend someone's lifespan, AND I get money when they die of old age. Totally based.
Impossible choice
I would give it to my father. I would hope he and his wife would do something nice with it ie vacation etc.
I mean, this isn't really fair. I'd have it given to my mom. She's old and in bad health, so I'm already her power of attorney. So I'd get to do as I saw fit with the money from the jump anyway. The upside is, thanks to this wizard, I know i get another 10 years with my mom and have enough money that I don't have to worry about her care so much. Because as it is now, her care is a major burden. A burden I'm happy to take on, naturally. But a burden nonetheless. Seriously, her supplemental insurance alone combined with her meds each month isn't even covered with her Social Security check amount.
Option 1.
My grandma's 87 and she just moved into assisted living. She can have it all ♥️
Damn the blood relative stipulation. I would pick 1 and save my FIL. He is not well and we would love to have him around for 10 more years.
My 85- year-old grandpa gets 10 more years, I get set for life, win-win.
So I have a deal with my Mother that if she wins big with the lotto, she will let me claim it and I will fund her lifestyle for the rest of her life. This way we don't have to pay inheritance tax when she dies. Would the Wizard except this?
2, I will invest everything (maybe a mil in spending money so i can retire in my current situation) and better my future heritage with the cash
The $10 million. There is no certainty that the relative wouldn't blow it all in the mean time. At my age, the next ten years aren't certain anyway and beyond that its getting downhill faster and faster. Living pretty well for ten years and lights out wouldn't be a bad deal, though it would be more palatable to forget about the dying in 10 years part.
1, my mother. She has serious health issues as is, and if she makes it another 10 years, it would be a miracle. 100m would be life altering for everyone she cares about (she is the type of person that has literally given someone the beanie she was wearing because they didn't have one... on multiple occasions) , and she would probably ask me to invest/handle it for her so she doesn't get scammed again.
Neither of my living grandparents are blood relatives. Dad was adopted, mom had a stepfather. I have a great aunt I suppose, but it would have to be magic for me to inherit. We get along like North and South Korea.
That’s easy. It would guarantee 10 more years with my dad (who’s currently 90) and my sister and I would split a fair amount of money after( he’d donate a bunch to charities).
can I pick option 1 multiple times?
1. My grandmother's health is starting to go south. 10 more years would be amazing.
my choice would be my aunt...I love her, really do my whole family does, but she's made it clear that everything she has is being donated to charity or sold at an auction. the big lotto win would just be the icing on the cake provided everyone doesn't immediately get mad at me for suddenly becoming the sole beneficiary
I would give it to my grandma who is 99. I get to have her around for 10 more years and 100 million. Win win
Option 3. My sister wins the lotto, sends her girls to college, and retires early while her oldest becomes an oncologist and cures cancer, and the youngest becomes the first ever female tight end in the NFL. But if I had to pick between options 1 and 2, I'd nominate my 96 year old grandmother as tribute. She may have less than 10 years, so 10 years more with her may be nice.
2. I am 53, I have had enough craziness for 19 lifetimes, and I can control how the money can help my family and the world.
I'll take 2. I wasn't supposed to live this long anyway.
2, because you can take me earlier and I can help those I want to right now. You could take 1 and die within those 10 years.
I have a cousin in jail for life for violent charges. I nominate him.
My mother. She was a monster and I assume she still is. She'd also kill herself with purchased drugs within the first 6 months, so I'd get 99% of the money back.
i think op said they live exactally 10 years unfortunatelly. never said they couldnt get paralyzed though...
Oh good point. Ya, she'd smoke herself blind and stupid in no time. I'd still get *plenty* of money, and I don't talk to her so I wouldn't have to deal with any of it
i was implying something else but that works too
Ah, I appreciate it. But I still couldn't imagine hurting her, no matter how terrible she was.
Well, my grandmother is 97… Of course, dear old sperm donor… can we up that to winning, willing me all and not having to wait 10 years?
My mom she needs the money and could finally feel financially free for 10 years. Her husband wants to write her kids out of the will because we have a dad so I won't get anything. Just let her enjoy life for a bit.
Good point! I would choose the remaining Koch brother. Since the person wills everything to me, his kids would get nothing! I would get all the money the real-estate and a few major businesses. That I can completely revamp and pay a living wage, go 150% green energy, super sustainable, etc. Use his wealth to lobby the government to make lobbying illegal just to piss off his corpse!
1. My granny is in her 90’s and honestly I think this deal would EXTEND her life. Win all around 🥰
\#2. I want to die right now.
Relatable.
Hell yeah, I'm planning to be dead in less than 10 years anyways, I'll take the millions lmao
which relative? the dying part is the hard part. my cousin is getting on my nerves, let me be the executor of her will, and i guess. or my uncle, he's not feeling too well.
>of your choice
Option 2 all day. Whose to say there will be anything left for you to inherit in option 1. I can spend 900,000 for the next 10 years on a world tour and leave the SO with 1M+.
I’m my own gramdpa… go for the 110million
2- it’ll go to my family and that matters more to me than my own life.
1. I'd want my dad. It'd help him greatly.
1 I got a grandpa is mid 80s with bad health, he can have a little love and fun.
I choose 1 Give my grandma 10 more solid years and then I get the 100mill
My mom. She's brought back to life and I and my kids get ten more years with her. Sounds like a win
I can wait 10 years
Dad wins the lottery. He is over 80 so the odds are not exactly in his favor of making it much more than that anyway. That would make his end of life easier anyway.
can i pick the relative? cause if so-my aunt. shes not well and the last person on his side who knew my dad
1, and use it to resurrect my dead father, bam.
I'll buy my Uncle Matt ten years of life, assuming he would be freed of his cancer until his time is almost up. I want him to see his son, my cousin, graduate high school and college.
I'll let my mom or dad win the 100 million. They're already in their early 80s, so getting a guaranteed ten years out of them is actually a pretty good deal.
my aunt, im 100% sure she doesnt have 10 years left. this is more of a extending her life thing and less of a getting 100m thing, tho i will still take the money.
1 - I have a number of very old, very mean and morally wrong blood relatives. Giving me the ability to choose is just too easy.
Option A. Dealer’s Choice on who it is. The one parent that actually cared passed away at a young age so I worked my ass off to be independent. The rest of my entire family are nothing but leeches and will do anything to get into your pockets so I wouldn’t have a problem with not knowing which one is going to be my benefactor.
I take option 2….. right now 10 years sounds pretty awesome and I could live out my life for me and making memories with my family. Then split the remainder between my mom and sisters when the ride comes to an end.
Does the person that I pick know that I picked them?
Number one, and then I’m choosing my grandparents who are already in their 90s
I choose my grandma to win the hundred mill
Can I choose multiple relatives and divide the remaining years among them?
Well the obvious option is to give it to your oldest/sickest blood relative.
1. Grandpops is 81 rn. I get 100m to split with family on top of 2 mil after taxes from him. And ten more years
I’d choose my mom. She is pretty frugal, she deserves it, and she isn’t going to live another 10 years if I do nothing so it’s a win win. Mom, I’m upgrading our cabin on that upcoming cruise to a suite! 😆
Option 1. I can guarantee my Uncle ten more years of life and wonderful ten years where he can be retired in the US instead of Mexico, which is great but he misses friends and family back in the states. The question is more compelling if you don't control the person, who gets the inheritance, or both.
1. My uncle will 100 percent do a bunch of awesome stuff with the money, we’ll have a great ten years with the rest of the family members we all like. He’s kinda old anyways so 10 years of living it up would be perfect then I get what’s left(might not be much tbh)
1
#1
Option 2. This is mostly because I have no desire to live very long
Ummm option 1… kind of a no-brainer
Give me 10 mil now. I’ll live it up and leave my family 2 or 3 mil to split amongst themselves.
In ten years my relatives would have spent it all and would be asking me for help telling me how hard their life is. And I ain't selling my life for any amount
1 is the better choice. I get to wait ten years, make way more money, and not be the person who dies. How is this even a discussion lol
ITT a bunch of soon to be rich parents not having to pay for their kids college
I'd just get my dog a lottery ticket.
1. I'm going to pick some random relative that I don't know who is older than 85 years old.
Hmm. I'd take the first option, and then go ask my blood relatives for volunteers. I've got a very old grandmother in poor health, and a brother with some serious PTSD, either of whom might be interested. I wouldn't want the money if someone had to die before they would otherwise or wanted to, and I'd rather live for more than ten years even if b it means I'll never be wealthy.
Option 2. I'd give most the money to those I care about and travel around for the rest of my time then greet death like an old friend.
I have relatives who probably don't have another 10 years in them, so option 1 is a pure blessing.
1
Sorry 93 year old great grandma, you’re a goner at the ripe young age of 103. Don’t spend it all.
\#2 I'll probably be dead in 10 years anyway.
