He says he wants to buy it. I don't know that he has yet.

He's going to have to wait six weeks for the $$.

For me it was just a crazy coincidence. Like everyone else, I was visioning what I would buy with the winnings and a NSX was one of the first toys I thought of

Smart buy. I'd probably do the same though I'd add an E92 M3 and an F150 Raptor to the list...

Hmmm, I think I would wait until the $$$ thing was fully sorted. Then the following:

2014 Nissan GT-R - Reliable supercar
2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon - Daily Driver
2014 Porsche Cayman - The fun two seater
2014 Audi S8 - Always wanted one of these
(and two cars I wanted as a kid)
1969 Dodge Charger Hemi or 440
1987 Buick Regal GNX

That would about do it. Not huge $$$ by powerball standards but those vehicles would cover most situations

And if I was to spoil myself I would get an Aventador

Not a bad list^, but lets put an LS460 F-sport where the GS is and a Humvee where the Raptor is.

Wrong NSX to be buying with that much cash.

My list would look something like this:

Audi RS6 (maybe avant) (Daily)
Jaguar F-Type (V8) (Weekends)
Ford Raptor (Winter/Tow Rig)

Conservative choices to many but I think it covers all the basis without committing to Ferrari level maintenance.

with that much money, i would need to put strict restrictions on my spending otherwise, i'll be in financial ruin.

ideally, a clean, well maintained e30 m3 with low miles.

....though I would probably scoop up a used GTR (ideally @ < $70k) and the wifey an E350 cabrio, we'd definitely keep our 12 MDX.

But that'd be it as far as cars go. Money to invest, real estate to buy/sell and world travel rank much higher on my lotto wish list.

^ Agree I would pay off everything first. Buy mom and paps a place(s) anywhere they want. Start crossing items off the bucket list then spoil myself with some resonable whips

Cars get better every year so it's not worth going all out right away

He said he was going to buy a used NSX because Acura didnt make one anymore. Someone should tell him to wait and get the new one when it comes out and in the mean time buy something better.

^I agree.
He should also probably buy some sort of access to the internet or maybe put a window in that rock he's been living under so that he'd have known there'll be another NSX.
