What would you do with the lottery money?

I think the amount changes. I read that someone's sim won 1000 simpletons.

BUT if they won a million? The best lot and maybe a fancy restaurant :smiley:

Total renovation of their current home (they live on a large lot, so lots of space to play). I have never played any Sim whobhad 1 million simoleons, ever! And then maybe buy a restaurant or someone suggested buying a store lot, building a fancy house on it and using it like a second home.

Happened to my Sims family earlier this week, mum was in labour with there first child. I had a notification she was giving birth and the rosebud achievement at the same time. At first I thought it was a glitch, until another notification that dad had won the lottery. They got a house extension and have lots of money in the bank.

My sims just got lottery day but neither won, unfortunately.

I can never win the Lottery... But if I did win, I would probably make a newer bigger and better house for my Sims, and I would probably make them quit their jobs (MAYBE). I would keep the rest in their bank account I guess.

Hm, I might differ a bit, but I have no idea how to spend 1 million. Such a huge amount would practically mean endless access to funds. If I had the jungle pack, the winner could by a nice vacation home and go there often. But in general I prefer smaller homes, and I find it a better challenge if they get short of money every now and then. So maybe my sim should rather win a surprise fee of §10.000? LOL.

I like the idea of a second home! I've done that with a couple of my rich legacy families. One family used to live in a large penthouse, but then they moved to an apartment instead and bought a summer house on the island of Windenburg. The only thing you need to do is hide a cash register somewhere, and you can have a vacation home that is technically a retail store. The downside is you can't throw parties there.

The family that owns a luxury apartment plus a summer villa are less then halfways to owning a million simoleons though, so to spend that kind of money they would need a vacation home in every world.

It would make sense that the prize amount varies, I hope that's the case.

I'm not sure what I would do with it, my current family has built their way up to 200,000 already so I'm not sure I need any more money! Although I am planning to move them out...

One question though - I play Seasons on 2 week cycles and I believe I've gone through 2 sim 'years' (so roughly about 16 sim weeks) but have yet to come across this calendar event, and it's the only one that I haven't seen yet. I have had 3 TV Premieres and 2 of the others, but the lottery is the only one I haven't come across! Is there any way I could trigger this event? Is there a cheat?

I've had one sim won. I ended up having the whole household (4 adults and a dog) quit their jobs, and they had fun for a while. The funny part was after my sim won, some guy who was part of the Welcome to the Neighborhood" group had called my sim up out of the blue wanting to hang out. He stated it has nothing to do with the winnings, but the funny part was that was the first she ever heard from him since that one time. Needless to say, she didn't hang out with him. She won a million semolians.

So each of my sims have bought tickets ... just wondering, how do you know you've won? Will there be a notification?
