    As many of you know I just won a lotto for 2.4 million ecodollars. The most I'd won from so little before was 40k. Also I'd like to add that this makes me about break-even with the lottery :). However, that's not the reason I'm making this thread.

    I will not be giving money to users without a reason.
    I will not be wasting my money on random things.
    I will NOT be hoarding my money.
    . I'm going to follow in another user's footsteps when he came into an enormous amount of money. That user, Clob1296, has inspired me to donate some of this to other users. For instance:
    I will be donating to some charities, and other user-friendly functions. I will be hosting a weekly trivia game, with more details on that in a seperate thread. The rest will go into a savings bond, and will be spent on donation features, items that I need, helping out friends, and anything else I'd like. Thank you, the members of ECC, for your support throughout my time here, and I will be giving back to the community as much as possible. :)
    I would also like to add that you may feel free to post below about your charity, or approach me in game. I welcome all users who are trying to help others, and will most likely be more than happy to give you something.

    just an idea, you could sponsor builder's to get resident? make an application of some-sort and pick like how ever many when ever you want, it seems like a good cause and spreads the money around

    Clob1296 did this as well, but my personal feeling on the subject is that the experience of making the money for yourself prepares you for further ranks. However, Kmaxwell has told me that she will be having draws to get builders the money for resident.

    I suggest putting money into a oystermax savings account, and maybe buying something like melonblocks which doesn't change in price. Both these things would stop you from losing money just by playing lotto and failing.

    I actually have an oystermax savings account, because I couldn't quit lotto (go figure). Most of my money will be going there, until I decide how to spend it.

    I had one, built up quite a lot of money, then took it out. spent it on lotto and lost my 100k. I was really sad, I would hate you to loose 2mil, so am glad you will be sensible. And not stupid like me.

    Thank you for the donation to my Freecycle/Manpower program. It will not be forgotten, and will indeed be put to good use. In the new year I will start arranging the "From Builder to Resident" program.

    That I am able to do the work I do at all is because of people like you, who don't just take the money and run, but find ways to help the community share in your good fortune. Keep up the good work, Zard.

    If I had a lot of monies sitting around, I'd buy fancy stuff that everyone wants, and then host free-entry events to give away the stuff, or something like the snipe box. o-o
