If you would win the lottery for a lot of money,
Where would you move to and what are the 3 things you would buy?
I'm not sure where i move to, but i would have to be near the ocean and then i buy a nice house a car and a boat,
put the rest in the bank and live happily ever after.
What a nice dream. How about you?

I have never won a lottery. Neither will I ever win one. That's because I never gamble. I don't need to, because God has always provided for my needs and I know He will continue to do so for as long as I live. But suppose hypothetically I won a lot of money one day, then what would I do with my life and money? I'm quite certain my life will not change, at least not significantly. I already live near the sea and will never want to move elsewhere if I can help it. I enjoy living here and don't think I wish to have a change. As for the money, I will first give a portion to God. Then I will probably distribute a fair amount to my family, brothers and sisters, as well as some to charity. For the remainder, I will just invest it wisely for my old age. Life will probably remain the same for me, except that in this circumstance, I do not have to be concerned about money or finances.

Life and the lottery lol the amount of people that would like or even love to win the lottery is amazing lol ,there are so many different lotteries,the Daily play lottery,the Thunderball,the Irish lottery ,the Euro millions,and that is only to name but a few!and then there are all the different scratch cards that are about today,but what amazes me is where in the first place do people manage to afford to dabble in all of these?the scratch cards can be two or three pounds,the odds cannot be that high,of winning the jackpot!Then there is the infamous Nigerian lottery lol the one where it literally costs you money to play!this is because it is a scam!and how easily some have been hoodwinked,and some very vulnerable people have been cleverly duped into parting with their life savings,isnt it sad? One of the other precarious forms of gambling is the stock market,but I am sure that most will agree with me when I say that the stocks and shares are the toy of the wealthy really.The horse racing!now lol there is another form of gambling,but at least I suppose there is some interest attached to it,as you are able to follow the stables form,the form of the horses,the many different types of bets,accumulators,doubles ,trebles and singles,yankees,lucky 49s the list is endless!What about the casinos?and the online gaming sites,these are all on the up and up,just recently my neice said that she was `learning` lol how to play poker,at first for points on the internet and then she would eventually wander into a casino and place her chips lol,so its black or red and a number,so no skill there really.Cards,well there are lots of very good and fun card games,gin rummy and whist,snap and Newmarket,and if you are on your own you can play Patience!But if you look at gambling as a whole,it has always been ,and centuries ago it was popular,card playing,but there was one condition,gambling was forbidden on the Sabbath,(sunday)but lol the wealthy found ways around that,and they built hidden rooms,sandwiched in between walls,where thet could gamble away to their hearts content,and remain safe and out of trouble.But going back to Lottery winnigs,I wouldnt want my life to change very much at all,there are maybe a few places I would like to visit,but lifestyle,?I will stay as I am thanks.

If I win the lotto I would move to new country and buy house, car and put the rest in savings. I did win 2500 dollars one time that the biggest I ever won and the money came at the right time because it help me put a new roof on my house.

I never won a lottery but if so, I would buy the most three things important in my life: house, car and travel around Europe. The rest will be some in charity, some for my family, for parties of this events. But the most important thing, I will need to think what I should invest the rest amount of money next. Money circulation will make more money.
