Maybe i will travel the whole world and see the most beautiful places and different countries together with my family.
How about you? Can you enumerate to us what will you do if you became an instant millionaire?

I'd build a house for my parents. I'd open up a trust fund for all my nieces and nephews. I'd send my sister on a holiday to any destination she wanted to go to. I'd make sure she didn't have to work for a while (if that's what she wanted).
I'd sponsor a co-op of women to earn a percentage share of a mango plantation in order to get back on their feet financially. I'd sponsor a girl-child in areas where their education is at the bottom of the list. I'd sponsor a grannie.
I'd give more to the NSPCC (a charity that protects children from cruelty).
I'd get a homeless person off the streets - see them through from the trembling beginning to the triumphant point where they are fully integrated into society, when they seize to be invisible.
I'd tour the world sampling as many different mangoes as I could.
I'd live in New York for a month.
I'd put a portion of my winnings in an account and not touch it til I'm 65.

Thanks, blueberry, for initiating the discussion.
I think I'm gonna print out what I wrote and stick it on my wall as a reminder. There is nothing to say I cannot achieve some of these even without the millions.
You take care, too... and thanks again.

Hi there blueberry!
If I become an instant millionaire, I will secure my son's future financially first. Then, I will start another business, give some to charity, and give a business to my mother and father. Then with what's left, I will finish the construction of our house and if there's more left, we will visit other countries too! Maybe we'll see you there!

I haven't read the other responses... as I don't want it to affect mine. Of course I would love to donate some to charity, but rather than donate, I would like to start up something myself. An animal shelter/dropping off food for various shelters/and hopefully something more sustainable.
What I would like to do for myself is build a house that is off the grid. I would have solar panels, purchase the land with a stream so you could use a water for power, perhaps even a windmill.... I could go on and on.... my husband and I have it all planned out. It would help the environment and we would never have household bills ever again.

I would want to rehab and old building and make a safe haven for battered women and thier children. Of course I would pay off all my debt and my house... Whatever was left would go into a trust for my kids.

If I get that much money, before I even try to do all things that I want, I would make sure that I would invest a significant portion of it to a feasible business and then put some into my savings.
For the leisure aspect, I think I would like to see Europe and travel some parts of Asia. I would want to see France. I would want to relax in the most beautiful resorts and then visit the 7 wonders of the world.
Then go home, and make some more money. LOL
