If you won the lotto, what would be the first thing you do?

Since it is no sweat money, I would keep half of it in the bank to earn interest and the remaining would be used to help the poor and needy. I would also donate some money for the church fund.

1. I'll give donation to our church. 2. I'll give my siblings and nieces/nephews $1M pesos each. But it should be put in the bank. But there should be a MOA between me and them. My niece/nephew can withdraw it until they graduated from college. My siblings can withdraw it until the interest reach 50% of the deposited amount. 3. Aside from the $1M I'll also set aside a budget for my siblings for their businesses or investments. 4. Buy things I that I want: car, house, etc.... 5. Invest some of it. 6. Give money to my parents. 7. Give to those who are in need or donate to some institutions. 8. And of course SAVE.

If I win a lottery prize, a big amount, the first thing I would do will be to donate money to organiztions which are helping the victims of natural disasters, such as the volcano eruption in Indonesia, and hurricane in Haiti. They need a lot of help from people around the world. The faster the help comes, the better will be for the victims to survive.

Winning a lottery is a dream come true, and the first thing would be an unbelievable expression on my face. Well, once the fact sets in, Id like to see that my old age is secure, so Id probably invest the money wisely, part of it would definitely go to charity and party of it would be for any form of enjoyment that I may feel at that time. What is the use of money if you cant even enjoy it on yourself, huh ? Id go shopping, eat in starred hotels, go abroad etc. Oh gosh, the thought makes me feel gooey, hehe.

I will NEVER win the Lottery, I no longer play. The Lottery is a voluntary tax on people that are really bad at math. You have a 10 times higher chance of getting struck by lightning then winning the lottery, and really after getting hit by lightning 10 times, would you know what to do. However, if say, I inherited a lot of money, the first thing I would do, is eliminate my debt, then I would invest, then I personally would travel, I would like to visit every country in the world at least once before I die, and that would be the simplest way. On a side note, Someone does have to win the lottery and it might as well be you, but consider the following. I have a friend named Renanto, he spends 12 dollars a week on the lotto. So each month he spends 48$, which turns into 576$ per year, now, he may or may not win the lotto, however, if he chose to invest this money rather then buy lotto tickets, in 30 years he would have. 17280, now if he got a 10% annual return on his base 576, due to his investments he would earn a heck of a lot more then is total investment of 17280, which is a guaranteed increase in wealth, rather then a slim chance. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

I would pay off all our debt to include both cars and both houses. The next thing i would do is pay off my parents house and then my inlaws house. Then VACATION!! :)

I think if I won the lottery, at first I would have a nice feast with my family so that we could celebrate it:) Here we often go out to have a good meal if we want to celebrate something. I love China

Winning the lottery can be an thrilling time in any person's life, more than ever if it is the common, hard working class person who is struggling to make ends meet. It would be evenly beneficial to anyone , because of the world wide recession, and credit crunch. The lotto winner has to protect against predators, and get rigid security for the safety of him and his family. The winner should not let the winning get his head, but carefully plan all his decisions, and if he wants to start a business he should do his homework first, and then venture into an anonymous. The lotto winner should pay off any loans, debts or his mortgage, straight away, and if he has children save for their future. The lotto millionaire should walk cautiously, because if he mismanages his funds, he will be in debt, and left dirt poor.

I was thinking the same thing. Every night I like to imagine things before I sleep so that it will continue in my dreams. First, I'll give 75% to my family. I think they like to buy a new house, then new appliances and etc. I own the remaining 25%. I'll get a body bleach. My skin is so sensitive to mosquito bites then I get dark spots from it. That's why I want to have a flawless skin. Then I'll buy clothes. Lastly, I'll buy a car! I really like to drive a car. I feel so happy when I hear the sound of the car turning left/right.
