Last week you decided to buy a lottery ticket on a lark and were shocked to find out that you won the $500 million powerball jackpot! Since you started out insanely wealthy even before you bought the ticket you’ve decided to just blow through your lottery winnings buying gifts for people here on the dope. What would you buy and for who? **olivesmarch4th** gets [this](http://shop.amnh.org/a701/octopus-figurine.html), a lovely octopus figurine from the American Museum of Natural History. **Asimovian** gets an [automatic pancake maker](http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/chefstack-automatic-pancake-machine-for-all-your-pancake-part/). \*\* Twickster\*\* gets the [luxury Scrabble board](http://www.luxuo.com/games/collectors-edition-scrabble-game.html) with gold tiles. What would you buy for dopers? ---
