If you win a big fortune what would you do with it?

I would donate a lot to charity. I would prefer it go to helping people rather than to the government. Taxes on large winnings are outrageous if you keep the money for yourself. I don't really have anything material I want that badly. I would like to pay off my school bills and my parents house and maybe buy an office but all of those things will be paid off eventually so I am not really worried about it. I would rather the money go to someone who needs it more.

I have been in many ways wanting to help children seeking emergency medical care and who are denied it for the lack of suffecient money. I do know that there are organissations who do help, but there are few and the children who need helpi n this regard are many. This is something that i have been wanting to do something about for a few years now, and get very touched and helpless when seeing a child suffering or dying when there is chance to try and do something. While most of the fortune would be used towards that i would use or save part of it to ensure that the basic needs, requirements and some amount of comfort of my family and loved ones are taken care of.

that is a very noble deed.All of us like to think we are selfless, as there is nobility in putting the interests of others ahead of one’s own. In large measure, selflessness is what makes us human.

If I get such an huge amount, I would also like to donate the same to an orphanage or such organisation. I believe, that we must donate, othewise, some part of our earnings to the under-priviliged. I think, we if donate, God will give us more to enjoy our life.

I think i will be frank here.If i win a huge sum , the first thing i would do would be to put a certain amount away , so that i am able to live in comfort, i am not too bothered about luxury.I would go about helping my relatives and others who are in need of money and donate only if i am sure that it is going to reach where it should.I have seen the way the funds are mismanaged as i have a relative working for one of the leading International Charitable organisation.They give out only what is left over after the staff distribute the money and other things among themselves - the money that is sent for the needy children.I would rather do the distribution and help personally without involving any one else

If I received or won any amount first of all as much as I would like to help a lot of people I would like to first help the ones dearest and closest to me. First I would like to secure my kids future or at least get them an educational plan till college and help my mom who definitely got nothing but us at the moment on her therapy so she could walk again, send my brothers to school and if I'm blessed with all the money in the world (LOL) then I'd do a little something something for my self and my hubby then I'd like to invest on some properties, build a big house for the street children, get some teachers for them, a playground and then the same for those handicapped.... I could go on and on... oh I forgot if I got a little money right now, I'd go back to school so I can work and provide for my kids.

donation to the charity of course will be part of the plan as i believe there is also needy out there that need our help. Next will be bringing my loved one to a world tour

i would like to say here that i'm gonna donate a huge chunk of it to a charity organization. but if truth be told, i will use a part of the money to pay off my car loan and credit card debts :( and if there's enough, a nice honeymoon far far away....for hubby n me....i've been back to work 1 day after my wedding day sigh..

Good morning, mimpi. I have not been interested in buying lotteries for more than a decade because I don't think that I would be that lucky to win a big fortune. But if I win a big one, I think that I will be more practical to improve my family life as well as my parents', parents-in-laws', siblings and some of my best friends, as they are close to me and they back me up in my career. Maybe I should buy some lotteries one day to try my luck to win a big fortune. With enough money, I will have a lot of things to do, like making some real estates, which is my favorite... I wish good fortune falls on my dear mimpi.

Wow, I am clueless. What is an NGO?

Hi dear well its really nice to hear about it well, first of all i dont buy lotteries or prize bonds bit IF IF IF, i won some thing, i wont say all i will give in NGO or in Charity, but portion of it, Max 15-20% i am greedy, i cant think of giving all

I think if I had to get a huge sum I would keep some of it for myself and my kids and spend some of it in an orphanage where I go frequently.

I don't know. To be honest, I think I would spend some for myself and then share it with a few charities that I think need my help and those close to heart. Kudos to the very generous and kindhearted couple though.

Will give help first to my own relatives who are very much in need, then buy my children houses and lots of their own, give them capital for business give them money to be deposited in a bank for their future, share my brothers and their families also won't forget my friends whom I used to run to in times of need then will give to charitable institutions and 10 per cent will go to the church.

That couple's action is very admirable.If I have that big fortune,I will buy house and other needed things for my parents.Then will give some parts to my relativea and friends.The remainder will be put in the bank for use.

I think it depends on how much i have won. If i have won something really very very big then i guess i would be putting up a company where i would be employing all people who are jobless especially those who have nothing and those who have not finished their education or even those who had no educational background. I just had this thing in mind eversince i was still young that i belive if everyone would just given the opportunity to make their life better i think they would really choose to. I think the only purpose that there are still people who are living a difficult life is maybe because they were not given an oppotunity to live a better live. I think if we could only offer equal opportunities to all people in our country whether rich or poor i think we could really minimize crimes that are being commited by people. I hope someday there would come a time where we could eliminate poverty in our country so that we could have a better place to live in.

If ever I win a big fortune the first thing I will do is to build my own house. Make some businesses. Secure the future of my children. Give my mom some money to spend with. My whole family will travel. Give some money to my aunts and uncles. Donate to the less fortunate children. Donate some to the church. there is a lot more I want but spend it to help others and yourself for the benefit of all.

If I won a big fortune I would first buy me a house since I have never owned my own home, then I will pay up all of my bills and then i would put the rest of the money in the bank and start a college fund for my daughter. I will also look out for my family.

i will go to travel with my parents and my wife first .if it is a big money so that i can't spend it over,i will give it to charity orgnization!

For me, I would keep half for myself and give half to charities that really need it. I said I'll keep some for myself because I'll use it to pay for my tuition in college so that my parents won't think of it anymore, and then maybe I can save the remaining amount for future uses or donate it again to less fortunate people.
