everyone will have a dream of winning the lotoo jackpot, but had u actually though of the things you will do if you win it? For me, I will allocate 1/3 to an investment company and have the fund managers monitor the fund for me while guarantee a high return. I will have another 1/3 to buy a big house at the waterfront, a luxury car. Then for the remaining 1/3, i will give some of them to my family ,and keep some cash in the bank. Also i will tell my boss i will quit the job...lol..

You are right I think everyone dreams of winning the lotto. Personally if I won, then I really would want to share some of my wealth, after all you could live off the interest of a win of that magnitude. I would first and foremost make sure that my immediate family were well catered for by ensuring that I gave them an equal amount each, I would then ensure my cousins and aunts, uncles etc had a share along with my nan. I would also like to give my friends and some of my work colleagues/friends an amount as like a thank you for being a friend. Finally I would donate some to a hospice that helped my family for a long time. I am not saying I would do all of these things in one go, but over time I would like to do these things. I would then be left with enough to live a comfortable life, and I hope by doing the things I've said above, I'd be able to help others to do the same.

You are so generous, your friends will be proud of being a friend of you. Everyone in this case can share the happiness of it, and it is even better you will donate it to the charity to help those really in need. Yeah, as i know, the lotto authority ( forget about the name ) which Richard Branson is involved is deciding to have a GLOBAL lotto , 20 countries will be linked to a big jackpot pool, and the winner of the first prize may be up to 100 million?? .. As i know , no one had claimned the first prize of the Euro lotto last time which is really strange...Someone long for the jackpot but someone may have thrown the tickets away....lol..

I would invest 5 million in the stock market. Put 1 million in to starting my business. Then I would fund as many Habit for Humanity house as I could with another two million. Then I would use the last two million for funding to Native Energy and become Carbon neutral at http://www.nativeenergy.com/welcome.html

I'd give one million to church, one million to each set of parents, 500,000 to each set of grandparents and each sibling. Buy 3 new vehicles (what ever car my wife wanted, a nice truck for myself and a vet.) I'd then take the remaining 4 million and put it in a high interest savings and live off the interest. Might get a larger house eventually but the one we are in now is fine. Might just do some upgrades to it. Oh yea, quit my job and work on my drumming career!

I figure at this point, why bother taking the risky investment. I've already got enough money to live off the interest with. If I put it into high risk funds then I'd be worried about it and would not enjoy life as much becasue I'd be worried about it.

Yeah true ..just look at what happen in the global share market in these days and you understand you should not have risky investment anymore....

It seems that people tend to live off interest because they do not want to take the other risky investments. And everyone will quit their job and may try to do something they long for....

*laughs* If I win 10 million dollars, I would probably invest half of them long-term on some of the low risk stock which generates interest around here. Then I would give a certain amount to my dad and mom so that they can do whatever they want in their lives. And I would probably use the money to start traveling to interesting places and see different things. It would be so much fun. Still I think even if I win the money, I would stay with the company till end of Sept as I have already promised my boss. *laughs*

If you have ten million,you can probably have the buyout of your company and you can then fire your boss:P. You can simply live off interest if you have ten million.

If I had ten million dollars i'd become a masked vigilante/crime fighter.. yeah with a fortress in the mountains and a batmobile.. cept i'd call it the phat mobile.. be all pimped out and stuff.. Seriously though, invest some, donate some to charity, pay off the bills of everyone in my family and extended family, buy me a modestly decent house and open up a chain of strip clubs. lol

Oh, this is tough. If I win ten million, I would definitely invest it in real estate, mutual funds, and time deposits. I would also build myself a really nice house with a swimming pool and a tennis court. I would go scuba diving and travel in Europe.

Lots of thought will go on in my mind when I shall win a lotoo jackpot. It might take a day or two to prepare my whole plan with my looto jackpot money. I shall buy a house of my dream, a car, and some investment as well so that I ever have not to do job again. I shall donate some portion for charitable causes and some to my family members as well.

I'd fly myself to London and pick up a friend and maybe buy a house, too. Then the two of us would fly to Australia and maybe buy a house there, too. Then we'd fly back here to Seattle and definitely buy a house. And we'd maybe to go Canada, too, since he wants to go there. We'd do whatever else he wanted to do and, of course, I'd put a large amount into savings with a high interest. I guess it depends on how much is left, though. 3 houses is a lot of money. LOL

I would pay off all my cousins houses- I would invest alot of it- Set up college funds for every kid in the family. Donate to several organizations (local).. Oh I have a dollar and a dream! I would so love to win!!

If I won that amount of money I would put it in a trust fund so that no body (except the people that I told and could trust to not tell any body else)would come asking for money, you know the relatives taht come out of the wood work? I would invest some in government bonds that are tax free and secure. Also I woud give some to my Masonic Lodge with the stipulation that they match the money that I gave them. I am planning on moving to Texas in the future and building a houlse for breeding tropical fishes. This would just make it so much easier. Yes I would take care of my true relatives and a few good friends. I am already retired so I definatately wou dnot have to worry about money again, except to make sure that no one tries to steal it.
