What would you do if you won the lottery?

I would pay off all my debt, then I would start pursuing the types of work I really want to do in life...

pay for my son to go to rehab. I don't really have any other want other than for him to be better. If I had anything left I'd probably buy a house and a vehicle since I don't have either one!

Hmm... Well the problem is, sudden money changes the people around you. You get hassled day and night by people wanting your money. People you never knew, will call you up and claim they are part of the family. Even family members will turn on you, and expect you to pay them for every little thing. I've read stories where mothers sued their sons and daughter, best friends sued each other, co-workers jointly sued a former co-worker that won. Imagine every friend, family member, and co-worker, seeing you as nothing more than a giant walking talking bag of money. So in all honesty, I would never play the lottery. It ruins people. Like the show you watched, the number of people who hit the lottery and end up bankrupt in under 3 years, is shocking. The only way I'd accept lottery winnings, is if I can collect the money in a clandestine fashion, so no one knew. Otherwise, I'd send the winning ticket to a charity. IF I could get the money without it being known, I would first pay off the house. Then set aside a large portion for retirement. Then I would maybe split college 50/50 with my kids. I don't believe in free rides. Kids that pay nothing for education, take it for granted.

If i won the lottery the very first people who will be happy for me are my relatives, first they will be given a fair amount of my winning i will be reconstructing most of their homes, most of my relatives are not well off thats why helping them is a must for me. Then i will think about pampering my mom too, and maybe take her to places that she really wants to visit. And lastly i will be thinking of a good business to start with, so that the money will be invested in good stuff and not wasted at all.

if i won a lottey may be i'll tour around the world. lol. nope.. i will help my kababayan's i will prioritize poor and some who need a medical assistance.

of ever i will win the lotto, i will gave it to my parents, i will buy all we need and all the things i don't have before like expensive things, but i will also give to the church as well for the poor people.

If I win a lottery I would first help my son and daughter who have their family.Then I would start a small business to occupy muself and to earn as well.I would give a big amount to my husband to help him start a business.Ofcourse I would do a lot of charities.

I would first take a long vacation and relax since I haven't be on a vacation in 6yrs. before I start to deal with anything else. Start a business of my own then help as many people as I could like my family and friends. Then save the rest for a rainy day.

If I win the lottery one day I would gladly donate some portion of the money to the charities. There are many people and especially children who needs my financial help and I will exactly do that. Then I will start a business of my own something that would last and become big like those rich companies out there and I'm going to employ thousand of jobless people and I will help them to make a living. I probably travel some country that I love to see one day with my family. I would buy all the things that I need and never had the chance to buy before and eat all the delicious food and hope I wont get fat if that happens just kidding.

OH my!!! I always love to this type of fantasy. I am absolutely sure that I will never ever win a Lottery, simply because I never BUY them!!!!! Now, if somehow, I do buy and I do win, the first and foremost thing I would be doing would be give a 'thank you' visit to my Family Diety, Sri Srikanteshwara of Nanjungud. Then, I would take out my list of all 'pending' wish list of my wife, ....... earrings, bangles, sarees, etc. Surely, the amount would be big enough to satisfy all her wishes and still have some balance. Then, only then, I will think of my wish, and that wish to visit the "Manasa Sarovar" and "Mount Kailash", the abode of Lord Shiva. If still, left with something, I would not hesitate to donate to charity, especially educational ones.

There are a lot of things that I would do if I were to win the lottery. I would first pay off all of the debt that my husband and I have acquired in our lives, including all of my student loan debt. In addition to that, I would make sure that a college education including graduate school would be covered for both of my children, and also for my two nieces. I would finally want to make sure that my mother would be financially secure for the rest of her life.

First, I will buy a big house for my family and give half of the money to my parents..express my filial piety. Next, I will also further my studies on my own money, can ease the financial burden. Lastly, I wll helps the needy financial person to cope with their life.

I'd pay off all my debts and my parents mortgage, and prolly bank the rest for something down the road, like my kids college. Most likely buy a new truck and a nice big house for my kids and us.

Definitely everybody wants to earn extra money.From lottery win if l want to buy a small house and yard.I want to start own business and l spent part of the amount thereof.And yet it is better to first win and them decide what to do with money.

I would do some investigating and then buy a good business that will keep bringing money in to me. Then i would do other things with my earnings.

I'd send a $2300 check to the Peter Schiff for Senate campaign, as well as equal checks to Rand Paul's and B.J. Lawson and Adam Kokesh. I'd save most of the money and spend a little.

Depending on the amount and the kind of lottery. I was required to read a short story in high school about towns that held a "lottery" the winner got stoned, so that they could have a good crop that season. Then, what if it was only 5$ or 50$ not much to do there but try again, or pay a bill. If you are talking a substantial amount of money, it would depend on the amount, I would set aside enough, in a high interest account, or mutual fund, to be able to live comfortably off of the interest for some time. Then I would go about purchasing some land, better buy some while I can, they have stopped making it you know. And from there, I would contribute to causes I believed in, such as stopping the abuse of children, and proper criminal rehabilitation, prisons don't seem to work, and though these people need to be separated, there can't be something right upstairs, so instead of punished, I believe they need to be helped. Though definitely separated. If I had to choose between which I would contribute to more, I would choose the stopping child abuse. With appreciation.

dear stanley, i would open up a business with my daughter, buy a property and build apartments for rent, take care of my granddaughter's studies. give some to immediate family and save the rest for the future. on second thought, maybe i can add a little tour outside of my country. now... am daydreaming. ann

I would definitely buy that house down the road I want.... I would get my husband and I newer vehicles (not new, but used).... I would invest some of the money into a 401K and also get a CD with some of it to draw some interest for retirement..... I am not like most and thrifty with money..... I would still shop at consignment..... Someone else's trash is my treasure in some incidences.... That is where most of my clothes come from.... I got all name brand clothes but have bought from consignment or people have given to me.... So I am good

I feel, Iam the most luckiest person in the world if i won a huge amount of money in a lottery.Lets hope to get my dream gets fulfilled if i buy it next time.
