I would record all the most popular songs before the artists do and keep them secret, then when the artists release their albums I'd sue them for blatantly stealing my songs.

The more interesting philosophical question is how would your choices end up changing history, especially those of you that are talking lotto winnings or investing in stock.

For example, I think once you've won the lotto, you've changed history enough that the numbers/payouts would henceforth be different.

Also, putting all your life savings into a single stock and getting rich is almost a surefire receipe for an SEC investigation (especially if you do it over and over again) ... which might change the market enough to deviate from history ...

True. But even with the most thorough investigation they can't get you for anything. They'd think you're just a crazy and very very lucky man.

Turning all Butterfly affect on us I see lol

Putting too much in a stock will inflate it and it won't really be beneficial...

SEC can't touch you as you just seem to be super lucky

We are also talking about time travel here! I'd say legalities and the like are moot from the get go.

i would change something in my recent history. i like where i am so don't want to change my life too much. just big lotto jackpot and a couple investments would do. i'd then live the future like a boss. just want to enhance my life, not be someone completely different.

Maybe some of these huge lotto winners were time travelers. Lol. If we see anyone win $150 million plus from the jackpots more than once then we can be certain they time travelled. But life would be kinda boring. Besides M3's and Ferrari's the past would be depressing for us because the technology, cars, movies and many other things would all feel so ancient and boring compared to what we have now. I mean the majority of cars from the 90s-early 2000s were all ugly as hell. Only recently are cars starting to look cool.

Invest in the small startup companies that are soon to be huge. Copy all the ideas from the infomercials and market them. Don't date that one asian chick. Ask that one other chick. Get Justin Bebber's w/e youtube page shut down before he makes it big. Wait in the bushes with a bat where my car got jacked. Bet on the SuperBowl games. Use the profits to warn or even save lives before the Japanese earthquake and reactor fallout.
