I'd put most in the bank. From the other money, I would buy a nice, big house, I would have nice holidays and pick up some nice things for myself (make-up, jewelry, CDs etc.) and for my family, boyfriend and friends.

If i won a Lottery then i would be the happiest person in the universe. I will take a course that will educate me about business and money so i could take care of the wealth i own instantly. Being knowledgeable will prevent me in engaging in wrong investment. If I'll be successful in the field then i will start building my empire and make my system strong so i can be free forever. I'm not gonna work for a lifetime since money is working for me then i can buy all the stuff i want through interests.

First I would most likely pay off all my debts. I want to go into the rest of my life after winning a big prize like that by taking care of all my debts, leaving only expenses that can be taken care of with the money from the jackpot or by working. After that I would purchase a home; somewhere that my wife and I can call our own. It would be nice to be able to have the house that we've always wanted instead of living in an apartment or renting. Next, I would probably finish getting my Master's Degree. I would want to have the ability to concentrate on finishing without the burden of having to work full-time to support our lives while learning. My wife can finish nursing school as well during this time. Finally, I'd probably want to save a lot of the money. I don't think I would stop working, but it would be nice to know that I'd have the flexibility to do what I wanted without the pressure of having to work at something I did not want to do. Also, if there was ever any trouble with finding a job in the sector that I choose I would be able to have backup money to support our lives. I'd probably budget living off the interest that we could earn from the savings that we'd open with the remainder of the prize money. That all being said, I'd probably splurge on a couple of things, too: a car, a good vacation, etc.
