these days the national lottery of my country was accumulated in 70 millions (in our currency) about 38 millions US dollar. What whould you do if you won that? Travel, spend a lot, or invest, triplicate? Worth spending time triple, and then die, or spend all and die without nothing?

i would first give some to my mum^^ then some to my sisters^^ then would travel to a country i want to visit since long to be with my bf^^ and also would give some to people that need^^ like those that dont have food to eat or a house to stay in. i would put some in the bank too so it can grow more so i can keep helping those people that have no food to at least food they will always have and i will try my best to help them find a job too :) thats what i would do with that money and i wouldnt spend it all bcs we never know. sometimes people get sick and need very expensive surgeries so i would save some for emergencies too^^ anyway i wouldnt use it in a selfish way^^ would be happy and would try to make others around me happy too^^ wish you can win that money why dont you try your luck?^^

Well first of all I'd eliminate all debt - pay of the house etc. After that I'd open an account to house money that covers all my current bills monthly so that those are taken care of for years in advance leaving me without even having to think of any of them. Maybe a new car for the wife and I and of course put away money to pay for the kid's college. After that its a high yield certificate of deposit along with some other low-risk investments as well as paying in to the IRA for retirement. With the balance a signifigant amount would go to various charities, youth organizations, family etc. I think I'd also spend some time traveling a little and helping others in need. Maybe that friend that always has a hard time making his rent etc could have a year without the worry about bills and be able to finally get ahead. You could change a lot of people's live with just one million dollars. Great topic. Thanks for posting.

Hi there. Spending all the money is a great idea when you only think in one view but what will you do when the money runs out? For me, I'll divide the money into three parts. The first part I'll will donate it to the needy ones. The second 1/3 I'll invest in forex trading and keep some in the bank. The last part I'll divide with my siblings and use my share to get things I couldn't get before I get that money such as a custom-made computer for gaming only.

I'd stop fretting about how i'm gonna survive through university. then i'd probs share it with my family to help pay off debts and we would all live happily ever after. lovely dream, shame it'll never happen ¬¬ Birdie -
