If I won $1,000--I wouldn't spend it on bills or rent or whathaveyou---are you crazy? Why would I be that boring? What I would do is I would live it up in style (and, possibly make more money out of it than when I first won the pile of cash). That's right folks, I'd spend my $1,000 on faking being a rich person. I thought about this for a while...and this is my outline for my plan:

My Get Rich Quick Plan (Using my $1,000):

1. Use $10 to buy a top hat, monocle, and cane

2. Cash in remaining money for 990, 1 dollar bills

3. Take 1 dollar bills and print out business card information on top of each one using someone's printer.

4. Stand outside swank, rich communities--stores--golf courses--etc. and start talking to (and befriending) the rich folks in an uppety, rich voice. ("mmmmmmyesss kind sir, could you tell me the time? My mmmmmRolex is currently in the shop. Martin was sent to fetch it for me, but he hasn't returned with my mmmmmBentley just yet.")

5. When given a response, and when completely out of rich things to talk about-- try to thank them for their kindness, and then hand them a freshly printed dollar bill business card in hopes of meeting up for a spot of tea or a quick round of golf if they find time in their sssccheeedule. Who wouldn't want to hang out with me? If I can afford to print my business cards on dollar bills, I'm kind of a big deal ;)

6. Sit and wait for the 990 rich people to call back--and when they do, I'll be in the money---literally--when I'm asked out on vacations on the family yacht, to play polo with billionaires, etc. etc.--you get the point.

I'll just keep buying scratchoffs until that dream becomes a reality ::sigh::
