    if you won the lottery

    if you were to win the lottery or came into a ton of money otherwise would you really take into account a zombie outbreak when you built your new house or bought land or done anything else like that? i for one would, my house would be in the middle of a man made lake with one bridge connecting it with the land and a brick wall around the grounds. i would also invest in reloading supplies and other need to have items such as food, water, and so on. i know some would say its bad to stay hold up in one spot and that its been asked a million times "what would you do?" but a major zombie outbreak pretty much means the end of the world and i for one would rather die at home. please feel free to add any imput on what you would do with a large bank account and no zombies around yet.

    Sure, why not? I'd also use my wealth at getting a quality Romero video game produced, pay the actors and illustrators to finish the last episode of Dungeons & Dragons from my childhood, and buy the Minnesota Twins and make them the Yankees of the Midwest.

    Yeah. I mean, were I too have a great wealth to my name I'd be sure to own some nice places and some of them would be very 'back to nature' and retreat oriented. Though nothing too crazy, mind you.

    If I won the lottery my primary residence would be a yacht.

    If I won the lottery I'd build a huge mansion for myself, with walls and moats and everything, as well as tons of secret labyrinths and stuff. Would I do it in case of a zombie invasion? No, I'd just be doing it to amuse myself. I'd have medieval armors on display too, and some of them programmed to make small movements when nobody's looking.

    Fortress house? Nah, I'd just live at Kong. Oh yeh, I'm already there! - 2D
    I wouldn't waste money on houses or cars if I suddenly came into a fortune, no sir! I'd build me a warehouse, and put a skatepark in there. Then I'd buy some guitars, set up a bandstand, charge admission, and have the most ragin' pad around! Oh, and I'd have a bedroom/kitchen/bath, just in case. Self-preservation be damned!

    If I won the lottery - no i wouldn't build a house fortified for zombie attacks...especially one on a moat (seepage, subsidence etc etc)...

    I'd probably just buy a nice mansion that would naturally have a security gate and fence around the perimetre - job done...zeds out, Trev in, bring on da hos!

    See you have to factor in that a zombie outbreak is highly unlikely therefore not worth wasting money for protection from it.
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.
