I would definitely get my family and really close friends anything they wanted, invest, spend, go on a shopping spree, get a bigger house, and save some of it. Would you get it in a lump sum or spread it out? I would get it in one lump sum. Would you go on a really nice vacation? I think that's the first thing I would do and I would take my whole family and a nanny for my kids. That would be fun!

Here in the Philippines, if you won that amount it's very big here. You will be swimming with money. Anyway, if I won $100 million, the first thing I do is to buy a house, car, invest for a business, save some for my daughters future, and go on vacation. And of course, I will share some of my money to my relatives. I will help them to start a better life.

Wow that's a lot of money. First of all i would buy my dream car (Toyota Supra) modify it just like i always wanted, make a gym in my house were i can stay in shape and have a good strong body and other goodies for myself...Buy some electronics, some cars for my parents, start a business and visit some great places on Earth. That's about all of what i can think of.

The country i always loved is the US so there would be the first place i would go. Than i would go to Japan (Tokyo), Canada, Australia and some exotic destinations Brazil, Costa Rica and onto some paradise deserted islands with palm trees, with sand as gold and clear blue water. That would be a dream come true

I would take the lump scum too ,set up an account for me to draw against and have a set amount that I could spend per year . I would pay off my truck and then pay off my Mom's house and buy both my sisters their own place as they both still rent ...set up college funds for both my kids and also set up a trust fund for all my kids and grandkids ... vacation.... maybe but after all that I might just stay to see all the happines my family that would mean more to me than a vacation ...all smiles ... :)

I would pay all of our bills off, buy a new house and my husband and I each a new car (we have never had a "new" car before). Then, I would pay off my parents' bills and both of my sister's bills. I would put some back for the kids for college. Whatever is left, probably go on a vacation or two and invest some. :)

I'd do what you've mentioned.
I can honestly say when i have a nice amount of money it normally goes on other people. i save up for special times of the year and splash out on those who are close to me.
If i won $100 million. i would give my parents at least 25% to return what they've done and given me. My brother would be treated too and i would also put a large amount for him and a rainy day. my son would be given alot of soft toys and my wife i dunno. she's awkward buddy =)
You've got me there!

I'm not sure I would really like to win a lot of money. Living on a budget as I am at the moment is really teaching me the importance of spending time with family and friends and how things that are free can be the most fun.
However if I won that much money I would certainly make sure my family and friends wouldn't need to worry about money again. Then I would pay for the best possible education for my children, buy us all a nice house and then invest the rest in saving the environment.

Oh, that is good. Would you buy a house with solar panels and all the other environmentally conscious items?
