My husband informed me that the Georgia lottery was at 75 million. He said while working he was so close so he drove to the state line and got some tickets. We aren't gamblers so this is a rare thing we do on occassion. He tells me last night to remind him tonight is the drawing. I said thanks alot now I'm going to be antsy all day! I know we won't win but it be great if we did! So he says just spend tomorrow thinking of what you'd do with the money. So I'm going to tell y'all what I'd do and then you can tell me what you'd spend the money on!
First id pay off the bills. Then I would buy my mom a car because she doesn't have one. I'd buy my sister one too because she really needs one for college. I would also buy my mom a house because their going through such hard times now and I want her happy. Nothing huge just a house she doesn't have to worry about getting kicked out of. In a nice setting so she doesn't have to worry about those crackheads anymore. I would also give them each some money. Especially my sister because she had a worse life than me growing up and didn't get to shop and stuff like when I was younger. My hubby said he would give some of his family money too. Next I would buy us a house with lots of land. I just want a maybe medium sized log cabin with a basement and wrap around porch. Maybe buy some small houses in diffrent settings so we can experience new things. I would want to home school my kids too. My husband said he'd Luke to teach by showing our kids. You know if your learning about the civil war go to the place it happened. Declaration of independence? Go view it. I think kids learn better when thy have visual experience to place with dates history happened. I want to spend time volunteering to and involving my kids in that. My husband said he would quit his job. Oh and I would like to set up a building as a community arts program free for anyone willing to learn. Those are just a few things this is getting kind of long so now it's your turn!

I probably would not change my habits. I already live in the countryside. I live in my own little paradise out here. I would give back to my hometown though. They fell on hard times and they need the money more than me. I could use the money to create jobs. I would fix some of the old buildings or build new ones. I wouldn't give the money to some charity. You never know where that money goes. That is why it is best to invest in your own community. You see how that money helps. You have control over how it is used.

Given a chance to won in lottery, I would definitely buy real estate. Real estate are good investment. I would buy a farm lot too so that my husband could plant mangoes and palay. I would set up a fishpond too. I would put a trust fund for my kids too. I would give each one of my family member a certain amount of money. I would give an amount too to the church that I am attending. i am giving money too to the people who had help me and touched my life one way or another.

I would give some to friends and family who need it. I'd save some for myself, I'd give some to charities such as the cancer society. I'd buy myself a small farm, I'd invest some as well so that I can get a good return investment.

I sometimes buy lottery tickets just for this reason! Its fun to dream about what you would do with the money!!
The first thing I would do is pay off my husband's car and our house. I would then set aside the money needed for my tuition for the next 4 years - because I am going back to school.
I would give some money to each of my sisters so that they could pay off some of their debts as well. There are a couple of charities that I like to support when I can because of the work they do, so I would donate some money to them as well.
I would keep about $1 million dollars for my husband and I to just blow on fun stuff. Im sure he would buy the mustang that he has always dreamed of. We would buy a vacation home, probably in West Virginia. Then some 4-wheelers to go with it! Im sure we would take a vacation back to Europe for several weeks, its been about 3.5 years since we were last there, and we both would love to go back!
The rest of the money I would set up investment accounts with - that way we would have income to live off of for the rest of our lives without any worry.
Now Im wondering what the lotteries around here are up to! It would be nice to win a large sum of money like that!

When he first told me about the tickets I asked what the lottery was up to. He said 75 million. My first words were "that's not even real!" I mean seriously! 75 million!!!!! Who can even imagine actually having that much money!

Whoa! That's really a huge money. If I were to win that money. I would invest on properties - buy houses and apartment complex. I would also invest some of it on a business. I'll open an account for my sisters and brother, and also for my parents then let them do what they want with their money. I'll have our ancestral home renovated so that we can enjoy having a vacation there from time to time. I would also stop working and will be hands on on my businesses. then probably, get married.
How I wish this will come true. :)

Well, I do not ever buy Lottery tickets nor would spend any of my money doing such a thing as your Odds are so great. But if for some reason in a drawing or something I was to win a lot of money I would pay off my house, our Car, all my medical bills, and other bills, and make sure my husbands were all paid off as well. Then I would also make sure and give my 10% in tithes to the Church, and my 5% offering and then my husband and I would so some traveling. I would Love to go by Amtrack across the USA just to see the countryside, and then I would also Love to take a cruise somewhere. If I could ever get a passport I would consider going somewhere outside of the USA if my Health would allow it in time as well.

Go for the 75 million! You only live once. A lottery ticket will cost you as much as you can save in the market with just a few coupons. When you win, I am sure that you have plenty of good people in your life to help. They are counting on you, so pick good numbers and win! Good luck to you.....piles of money are coming your way.

That's quite a huge sum of money. Sharing it with family and friends and the needy would be a start. With that, i will start a business and invest in funds. Giving back to the community in where I live would also be a priority.
