your so sweet, not many people think of their parents nowadays. if i can i would send my parents on a cruise ship, or have them travel abroad. they have been working hard till now. i don't want a huge house also, because of the cleaning thing, and besides having a small house makes me feel that the bond between the family is tighter.

First I would build a new house to my liking. One that had atleast 6 bedrooms, a huge kitchen, a dining room, and my own big bathroom with a hot tub. Second, I would buy myself a new car for myself. Maybe a mustang. Then I would buy my boyfriend a car his choice. I would also buy a new backup car for emergencies. I would pay off any of my debts I have, such as credit cards and medical bills. I would put $10,000 into a retirement fund with a high interest rate, and then I would give each of my 4 sisters some money. I would give my boyfriend a huge shopping spree as well. I wish I could make it happen.

With that kind of money I would pay off all my debts and bills first. I would buy a new house and a new car and invest a lot of the money into a good income bond so i have money coming in from the investment.

thank you for your response, the same thing goes for me too, i would pay all my debt and then get a pension or insurance. a trust fund for my son, then buy a house. i would open a business too, perhaps a internet cafe, because people here had been crazy with the internet.

First, pay off my car. Second, pay off my fiance's student loans, and put aside enough money for him to finish out school without needing to get any more financial aid. Third, buy a house. Unfortunately, after the buying a house part of the story, I'd pretty much be out of money. The houses in this area average about half a million dollars, and I'm sure we'd find one that cost more than that. Between buying the house, moving, and furnishing it (we could use some new furniture), I'd pretty much be done with my million dollars. :)

from where are you? a house worth a half a million, here in the philippines, a couple of hundred grand can already buy a mansion, i think.

if i win such a huge amount of money, i'll first throw a party for winning that money, then i'll start my business because money can be lost so i'll try to invest it and i'll buy some properties that i can use for the future... how i wish i'll have that money...
