If you won the lottery?

well I think I am with you buy a home and a trip a vacation and the put the rest in the bank for a rainy day and I have also know people that have won a large amount of money and it was all gone with in a year but don't forget to pay the taxes on it you don't want the government at your door

i would probably pay off my house and of course travel and then put the rest in savings, just like you. i love seeing money in my bank account.

Of course, it depends on how much you win. When I was still married, a friend of ours won $100,000 but complained it wasn't really enough to buy a house with. This was at a time when housing was still relatively cheap, he had a well-paying job, was single, and already owned a house! Years later, another friend won $50,000 and blew it on a boat even though he was renting a one-bedroom apartment and had nowhere to keep it.

I would probably start my own business, or invest in real estate. And yes, saving up is always a good idea. You'll never know when you might urgently need money for emergencies and such.

I believe that this is something that we all fantasize about from time to time. I certainly know that I've thought about this some in the past. The first thing that I would do if I was to win the lottery is that I would pay off both my house and also my mother's house because that would certainly be one less thing that we would have to worry about. The next thing that I would do is that I would get myself a new car because the car that I'm driving is ten years old and it would be nice to have a new car. I would also take a vacation, probably to Disney World as that is somewhere that I've never been that I would love to take my children to and then we would put the rest of it in savings so that we would be able to live off of it for years to come.

Well, I think I would move abroud buy an apartment (or a small house maybe). I'd like to open my own small company and travel. But, of course, part of it has to be saved. Until it happens, we may carry on dreaming.

i don't know anyone that has won the lottery although i do know someone who won a smart car. if i won, i would pay off bills, fix up our house and maybe go on a trip. i wouldn't go crazy because i really have everything i want or need in life right at the moment.

if i won the lottery the firs thing i would do is go to see a lawyer. i have would a trust set up for both of my kids with all of it accept for 10%.

I always tell people that they really want me to win a big lottery, here's why. First of all, I'd do the usual stuff -- house, car, vacation, etc. I'd also do something for some of my close family members and a few dear friends who have been there for me in my time of need. I'd also work with a financial advisor and make sure that my nieces and nephews don't have to worry about where their college funding is coming from, and make sure that my son will be taken care of for the rest of his life. There'd also be money set aside so that I wouldn't have to work if I didn't want to, and a fund specifically for vacations and travel. I'd also consider purchasing a few properties to rent out, to guarantee an income for myself if the financial investments go south. The rest is for everyone else. Seriously. No, I wouldn't just hand it all out, but I'd set up an organization that takes proposals for, say, a project to improve a community (turning a vacant lot into a nice park, for example) and help to fund those. Or if someone wanted to go to college and couldn't afford it, I'd help with that. Essentially, I'd do whatever I could to take the extra money that I'm never going to need, and put it back into the community and the general economy. Why keep it all if you're not going to need it, right?

I'm a pretty simple person. Funny my friend bought me a power ball ticket a few weeks ago (didn't win...lol) but got got us talking, well more dreaming, of what we'd do. I'd like to go completely off the grid. Buy a farm spread, have my own power source and raise food for the hungry. Don't worry, not a dooms day prepper, but read too much about families going without for my own comfort.

A new house (not necessarily in Carlisle, or even in the UK) would be top of the list, a car..probably a gas guzzler 'cos we could afford it..oh, and a round the world trip..but NOT on a ship as being on one with a load of people I can't get away from would be my idea of hell. It's a shame Concorde is no longer with us as we'd definitely fly on that...so I guess it would have to be one of those massive planes instead. One thing I'd love to do is follow great sporting events around the world, whether it be golf, tennis..whatever, John, especially would adore that. I would also give a lot away..obviously.

I bought the lottery before try to won some,but i didn't for even one time.While maybe we are not meant to be.How i wish i could won one time and to use the money do something meaningfully.But having a good attitude to buy it is good.My brother always do that.

If I won the lottery ( I won't because I think it's a waste of money) I would buy this house we are living in. I'd buy it from SIL's mom. I'd but me an SUV and take a trip to see my great grandchild when he or she is born.

First I will donate some money to a good cause to thank the good fortune Then I will buy a house, car and go some place exotic.I will put the rest of the money in a few diferent banks and live from dividents.
