What will you do if you win the lottery?

If I won the lottery my life wouldn't change much at all. Might consider buying a new car and pay cash. Depending on the amount of money won, I would definitely buy our 3 kids a car and a new home. We have a nice home now so we would stay here and get a cleaning lady each week. I would also buy other property and make some good investments. Would set up all kinds of funds for our grandkids also. Oh and then there is the casino...lol I would spend a few bucks playing Keno at the casino.

It's important how much I won. But if I win the jackpot from the lottery . . . I think I will change all my live! I'll buy the house of my dreams, I'll start my own creative and big business, producing my music projects! Things like these . . . The jackpot can give me the material things in life that I always wanted.

Hi codris. I don't think my life would change all that much if I were to win the lottery, though I'd have to win it first to find out. LOL I would like to buy a house as I currently rent, and I'd buy at least one other car as my family and I only have one to begin with. With a family of 4 having 2 cars in the family is kind of a necessity, especially in this day and age. Other than that I don't really see a big change if I were to win. My husband on the other hand probably sees a big one for himself. He'd quit his job and retire! LOL Happy mylotting!

I would spend some of the money with a charity. Then I would go on a long vacation and buy some stuff I would really enjoy. I would invest the rest of the money so I could maybe earn the interest on my investment. lol.

If i won the lottery i would travel around the world :) I would also give some to charity and some to my family too. Then possibly treat myself to a nice car if i don't already have one. I go sky diving and snowboarding and do whatever other cool things come to mind :D

Yeah what a great question how i wish I will win. If I win the lottery i will personally thank God for trusting me His wealth. With that big amount of money I will then put a foundation that will help poor families to train them to become entrepreneur and lend them zero-interest capital. Help and donate money to the elderly aged care-giving home. Donate money to earth-save environmentalist. And many things that i need to help. Yes absolutely it will change my life because I am now a good Samaritan. Thanks

I would defintely pay off my mortgage andprobbly buy another house and take a trip around the world,give some away, invest some and justtry to relax and have a good time.

My life would change AMAZINGLY. I wouldn't have to work as much and my finances would be IMPECCABLE! I would even probably buy a new car. Probably a new Lincoln or something. Life would be so different for me, because a lot of my time is spent making money and trying to stay financially afloat. I've recently turned into a Powerball NUTCASE. I buy 2-3 for every drawing. But I rarely think about what I'd do with the money because I know that the chances of hitting the jackpot are.. 1 out of 19 billion? So I definitely don't get my hopes up. But hey, it doesn't hurt to dream, right?

Hahahaah, Hi codris, This is a very interesting topic, I love it. But wining the lottery is just a far dream for most of us, if I won the big prize, like 1000000 dollars, I could buy two pair socks, one for wearing, another one for throwing away! I will be two sets of food, one for eating, one for throwing away! : ) Hahahahahahahha

...Hi there codris, Happy 2010. Well, if I happened to win the lottery, I would probably go and lay down on my bed, go to sleep wake up and see if it was still true, that I had not dreamed the whole thing. If it were true, then I would call my accountant, and maybe my lawyer. After all that was taken care of, I would mosey on off to a Mercedes-Benz used car dealer, I don't like the newer ones. Get myself a two door silver coupe, and drive it home. I would pay off all ny bills, write a few checks for some of my family members and one for my church. Maybe find a few more charitues to give funds to, and then take a cruise. After that, I would investigate some long term investments. Take care.

I wouldn't tell anyone i won. I would buy a really nice home, buy a car, pay off all my debt and help out others. I would save a lot of it.

The first thing I would do is purchase a house. I want a home that's spacious with numerous rooms, so that I can setup my own personal game and entertainment room. The game room would consist of Foosball tables, a pool table, and dartboards. And for the entertainment room, I would have a giant projector screen with surround sound and multiple home theater movie chairs. Did I mention my house will also have an indoor and outdoor pool? I would follow the house with a sexy and luxurious SUV. Preferably one with comfortable padding and tv screens. This is all I can think of right now, but I'm sure more will eventually come to mind.

Hey, I think that if I won the lottery I would invest alot of money in the stock market. I know that sounds crazy with the economy the way it is but I really think I am good at predicting stocks. Also, I would deposit tons of it into my bank account and let it gain interest for a couple years, maybe until I retire in like one hundred million years. lol. But that is all I can think of for now. But I hope you get lots of responces.

If i won the lottery, I would get amazingly drunk, Buy a sick house, get a new truck. And help my family out, I have a love for animals so i would be getting me a monkey ;) And i would maybe donate some to poor. I for sure would put enough in a savings for my kids when they go to collage. (They better all go to collage) After all that it would matter on how much money i had. I would be pretty much set. But i would for sure want to get a house maid to do the cooking, cleaning, etc. That's about it. And my life, Yeah i think it would change a LOT, going from normal to rich, Hm. And i am happy with my life, But i could have so much nicer things! All right that about sums it up for me!

Oh yes! My life will change and for the better!! We are not poor but our life is a long working one and even though I'm retired I still have to work part time jobs and work the Internet to earn enough to keep going. My pension is far too small to sit back and live off it. There are soooo many things I want to do while I'm still fit, sooooo many places to go and friends all over the world to visit. For instance, my cousins in Canada I have only seen when they come to the UK on a visit and my relations in Australia I have never seen in 60+ years! Come on Lotto!! Make my dreams come true!!

It will depend on the amount of the prize, ofcourse. One of the things I would do, if the amount permits, is to make donations to NGOs which are helping needy people in countries around the world. It is so sad to see the children suffering amidst disasters, illness, hunger, and so on. I have been making donations to NGOs , and if I win a lottery prize, that will help a lot !

I would spend like a drunken sailor, sober up, and help those who CANNOT help themselves. That's about it. The good news would be that I don't have to buy any Health Insurance.

It would depend on how much, I have won 2 & three dollars. a million dollars these days is not very much, but I won the big mega millions I would first invest some, then straighten out my debts and with the rest I would do the Lords work and help other people who are on their last straw. I would help them with no intention for pay back.

i'm not sure my life would change that much but at least i could keep those creditor calls at bay lol!

My magic formula is: 50% between my wife and me and 50% for my children, so I can do whatever I wish with my 25% and my wife can do the same, buy a house, car, travel, bills, etc but never touch my children's 50% unless it's going to be used for education, health care and their personal expenses...the problem is that I never like to play the lottery...so I guess this will never happend... je je so I guess I just keep working my tail off but maintain the same formula...!
