If you were to win the lottery what do you? I could buy myself a real nice house and have an interior decorator fix it up nice. I would upgrade my parents home for them. I would by that corvette I have always wanted. and I would donate a hefty amount to childrens cancer research as my nephew Christian died from Neuroblastoma. and I would invest the rest where it could take care of me and my family for the rest of my life and would not have to work again!

If i win the lottery i would rather managed the money. Ever since i am bound to help children specially in school. Everytime i met them during class days........i pitty most of them claiming they got stomach ache because they have not taken their breakfast when they left home. I pitty these children so what i did is to have feeding evey friday as their prize of being in school for the whole week as a sort of thanks giving actually. If i got my extra salary i bought them some foods to share then but i can't manage other grades and sections only two grades and section too. I sometimes bought them notebooks and other materials because there are lots of them who have no school supplies to use. I tried to encourage them.........those who got no absent for the whole month will get a prize and the more they don't have absent they will get one year school supplies...........I also shoulder their foods during Christmas party. So that is why if i "Ever Won the LOTTERY" I WILL MANAGE that because i really enjoyed of doing that..........serve the children specially if i can see them enjoying for it. I sometimes. bought them clothes and shoes and many other things. That is why when my ex husband abandoned me and my daughter........i was really worried to think i could not help the children anymore.........which is my happiness to serve them and to see them very happy enjoying all the blessings...............Helping these poor children does it mean i am trying to earn or i want to be popularized?

well.man!that is everyone's dream, especially for the poor people like me. if i win the lottery, i would buy a very nice house for my parents and myself. i would also buy two car for them and for me. but i wont buy good car coz i dont want to get attention that i become rich. finally, i would invest the rest into some business like insurance where can take care of my family. but i wont stop working because i want to show my value.

Money answers everything, here on earth of course. And we always want to have money even thru gambling and lottery is a game of chance which is still gambling because we buy a ticket to have that chance. For me it remains a dream to win in lotteries because I do not buy tickets. But of course I need much money very badly.

Well it all depends on the amount won. If it were in the hundred of thousands I would give my kids enough to put down payments on a house, plus help my relatives as much as possible and invest the rest to have a small income. If it were say 5-10 million then I would do all of the above but I would give a fair whack to charity, say 1/5 and of course larger amounts for friends and family. I have no interest in acquiring cars and such. I would possibly buy a new place in say Vancouver, and that would be about it. May be travel a wee bit but nothing spectacular.

I would share it with my family (parents and siblings). I would donate to charity (my favorite is Unicef). I'm not that materialistic so I don't see myself buying a very big house or a very expensive car. Most of the money I would invest so that I'll never have to work ever again.

Winning a jackpot price in a lottery is everyone's dream. But for me it's a thin chance since I don't regularly bet on lottery. But given the chance that would be a wonderful moment in a lifetime. Of course I'll pay all my debts, buy a house and lot for me. I will help my parents, brothers and sisters and even my in-laws. Renovate our family house. Donate an amount in the church , charities, foundations, and medical missions. Save some amount in the bank or open a trust fund account. There are stil many ways to spend it but since it's is just once in a lifetime it is just proper to use it properly not just for my own good but also for others.
