I must win the lottery!

[Tidybuoy]

I'm gonna have to win the lottery. I really, really, really want this "live aboard" boat but I simply cannot afford it. I got the chance to tour this small yacht and I think it would be perfect for me. I've determined that if I sell everything.....I still can't do it. I'm accepting donations

Somebody just won a HUGE powerball pot...nearly 700 million if I remember correctly...tells me some poor sap out there just ruined his life.

What would I do with a yacht? No pool table...

How much is it? GoFundMe link?

The first pic makes it look short and stubby. (looks like a tugboat)
I wonder why.

Probably because it's short and stubby.

If you ever win, I'll throw myself on the grenade to save you from yourself!

I'm willing to give that sort of winning a shot.

^^^ I'll have to pass on it then.

I have two like that already. I'll let you borrow one.

That is nice, many times I have considered cashing out of everything and buying a boat to live on, it worked for my father.

It gets bigger when you go inside.

I think you could add another zero to that 5million but I don't know boats either so I'm guessing...

Sonny Crocket lived on a boat also. So it must be cool. But he also had an alligator living on board with him.

As for my Lottery plans (depending on size of pot):
Houses in: Wimbledon and Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany, and possibly a flat in Rome.

A bunch of cars. And a DC-3 / C-47 WW2 cargo plane.

Then pay for a remodel (actually flatten out and make new) of my in-laws Catholic parish which suffered from being built in the late 60's when church in the round (in this case, rectangular) was popular. Honestly, it looks like an after thought and they just thought "why not put an alter on the side of a huge rectangular room" with Jesus levitating on the wall behind.

Trouble is, after the win, you can afford the boat but can't afford the fuel to run it.




Disclaimer: I just jealous. Good luck with the lotto numbers and I love your new boat LOL

Quincy lived on a boat. I really liked that show.

Dang, I forgot... when I was stationed in Hawaii this guy that worked for me lived on a sail boat for a while. His was one of the few that didn't get damaged after the 'tsunami' hit in 2011 after the earthquake in Japan.

We joked about tsunami because the waves on the North Shore were bigger in the winter than this thing was. Really just a high tide, but a bunch of boats in his marina got loose and were floating around still tied to their piers.

I don't follow the Tardis reference.
