Lotto Winner?

[marley]

IF YOU WON THE LOTTO WOULD YOU STIL MOW LAWNS?

[darryl gesner]

Well, that all depends what the jackpot amount is, doesn't it?

[HOMER]

My own..............heck I ain't payin' nobody to do what I can do myself..............I'd have a bunch of paid off equipment to work with. I'd also have a lot of free time on my hands if the $$$$$ were large enough.

[Lawn-Scapes]

NOPE

[johnhenry]

I would still mow my lawn. Its my passion and I would be way to picky to have someone else mow it

[marley]

the jackpot is a bazillion dollars, no worries

[robert payer]

Yes would continue mowing lawn nearly full time. My customers are enjoyed. Mowing would be selective. One problem I do not play the Lottery. If I came in to money? I would not plow snow! The entire winter would be spent at this small house in Key West reading Ernest Hemmingway novels and enjoying adult beverages anticipating each cooling trade wind. Dont laugh there is nothing like it in my opinion!

Can not wait for retirement! Lotery, money whatever going to mow & scape full time if I can till age 65.

Needing and wanting are two different things!

Today I need to mow. Tomorrow I will want to mow.

What you do today, will determine tomorrow.

[Bob Minney]

No
and I wouldn't mow mine either, I'll get some guy to do it-but I ain't payin over $10

[Phishook]

Nope.

I might give some guy 15 bucks though, if he swore to be there the same time every week and did extra work for free!:laugh:

[Mykster]

If I was set for life......consider me retired. Bank the money and live off the intrest.

Actually I would probably hire an excellent salesman or who ever these multi-million dollar LCO's have to go find the work, hire more workers with all the equipment I could ever dream of. Let everybody else do the work, pop in every now and again and, hopefully collect the profits.

I'll have the kid down the street from my masion do all my mowing for candy and soda. Of course I will supply the equipment because.....well, I would be rich and I can.

They say money can't buy happiness.......I'm gonna have alot of fun finding out.

[Barkleymut]

I would never mow again. I would drive across the country frequently and meet the one of you down in Key West every winter. Now I just have to win!

[LawnLad]

Didn't I already win the lottery? I own my own company, which means I own my own problems. I have a great group of guys working with me, couldn't ask for better. I have great customers, great equipment (maybe need to turn over a few trucks). I have all the opportunity in the world. All because of this great Nation I live in. Where else can you find enough people with so much disposable income they can afford to pay me to maintain their properties. Talk about being born into privlidge. I think I've won the lottery already. And it gets better every day.

[Russo]

I would still be mowing for sure! I'd leave a couple days open every week to mow all the older folks I've run into who have a huge lawn but can't afford to pay. I've though of doing this when I retire anyway.

Can't believe some of the names on here that would quit mowing! It's a pleasure for me.

[SIG]

Mow for 5 hours a day, Golf the rest!!

[UGA]

about this before and since I now cur grass part time and work at my 40 hour job I can say I would have to consider quiting the full time job and make my lawn care more time (not necessarily full). I love the feeling of making a yard look its best and this would give me the ability to be selective enough to keep only the customers that want a truelly beautiful yard.

[awm]

i would set up the most high dollar ,classyest lawncare service i could possibly ,come up with. id hire a good man for my present rt. and go after strickly high dollar accts.
i got to be working ,might as well be doing something i like to do. which is pretty much the way it is now.
ive always thought ,in this situation id make low interest loans to struggling young couples.perhaps under write new struggling buisinesses if i believe in the people and the buisiness.

[Fantasy Lawns]

I can't think of a better tax write off ;->

[lawnkid]

I would start my own equipment line. :D :D

[SIG]

It's funny this was on here today, I played the mid-day pick 3 and won. $80.00, don't think I will be quitting either job just yet.

[Dennis E.]

Work? After winning a "big one"? HELL no!! I'd give the whole kaboodle to a friend and move the family to an island somewhere.
St. Thomas,Bermuda. Someplace like that. I'd spend the rest of my days with a pole in the water.
Oh,to dream!:D ;)
The winner here in Fl. this last week-end bought the winning ticket not too far from our house.:mad: ;)

[scottb]

Funny question just so happens that me and 5 of my friends were playing the Big Game now the Mega Millions, have a contract and everything. No I wouldnt quit and I wouldnt pay someone else to mow mine. I still get a kick out of the fact that people will pay me too mow their's. Guess Im alot like Hank Hill

[odin]

If i or any of the family members who run our business won the lotto and it was a biggggggg jackpot, there would be the biggest bondfire that could be seen for miles and miles it would be burning lawn equipment:D
So no mow for me if i won and id move either to scotland or my wife's country in sicily to enjoy all those millions:D

[VLM]

HECK NO! Seein as my lawn would cover about 100 acres! Let the ponies and the hired help sweat it.

[BigJim]

Goodbye Lawns:laugh: I'll come up there and have a big party with all you guys,Beers on me..........

[TGCummings]

I'd like to think I'd continue in the business ...


(but I know I wouldn't. ;) )

[bobbygedd]

every proffession has adverse effects on the body. this one= respiritory problems, exposue to the sun, and pesticides, stress(which, from what i understand, causes more heart attacks than ciggarettes). retirement is a state of finance, not an age. if i hit the lotto, i would never mow another blade of grass, clean another leave, put down another application, and certainly not clean anymore dog poop. if u need me, ill be somewhere where there is a beach, lots of coors light, and spanish chics with long dark hair.

[Pro-Cut Lawns]

Just for kicks, I would buy out every LCO in town , combine them into one big company, hire someone to run it, and go on a very long vacation (without a cell phone).

[tranum]

i'm with homer, i'd mow his, er, i mean mine..

[maple city]

NO! I would never touch any lawn equipment again ever. I'd keep the business and run it with awesome advertising and the very best equipment.

:cool:

[GreenQuest Lawn]

I would keep the business, hire a friend of mine (he still works for the former LC i worked for), pay him well, and on my visits home from all my travels, go mow with him once and a while. Of course he would have wonderful equipment to use.:D As far as the everyday mowing NO WAY. Once a month maybe.

[Brickman]

Heck yes I would continue. But in a limited way. I would get rid of all my WBs, get up at 8 or 9 mow from 10 to 2 or 3. And only about 3 days a week. I can't think of a better tax write off. New Walker every year, work so cheap as to not break even. The only thing I would do is mowing. I hate most every thing else.
The reason I would mow in the summer months is that a guy will go crazy if you don't have any thing to do but play. Then in the winter I would be on a beach with the "chicks with long dark hair".



Plan B. Buy a bunch of WBs, hire a ton of guys, and put the other SCRUBS out of biz in this town by beating them at their own game, and working for very little/free.
When this one is cleaned up then move to another town and clean that one out too. :D
Leaving a good foreman and crews behind to charge a FAIR market value for service and to reap the benifits that come from a scrub free town.

[Grasshog]

Yes I would. Just not as many. I love this work thats why I do it.

[Fivestar]

What the Hell kind of question is that. Duh!!!
