If I get lucky enough to win the jackpot in the lottery, the first thing I'll do is..."disappear". I'd bring my husband and kids somewhere where we can be alone to think about what to do with all the money. I'll just resurface when we've got everything planned out already.

First thing which i would like to do is that i would give some money to my sister , so that she can start her business. And if i win a real good money then i would love to buy her a house also. She really needs all this. After that ofcourse a good plush bunglow for my self and a world tour etc. Would love to invest money for my son also.

In my opnion ,there are a few affairs I have to deal with ,if I were so lucky: First of all ,I wilk keep the information secret ,because if too many persons know that ,I must get bored. Then I will sit down with my family ,talking about the use of the money which comes unexpectively. The plan about how to use the money may include I will invest some of the money on future business to make more money.

hehehe... I don't have to disappear in order to plan what to do with the money. I've already laid out my plan on how to spend my lottery winning (if ever, and I wish I do win!). First off, I'm going to build my dream house: a two-storey house with 6 bedrooms, big living and dining room, a roomy kitchen, a huge lawn and a 4-car garage. This house should have a master's bedroom as big as our current house (a floor-area of 150 sq.m.) with a big comfort room and a walk-in closet. Then, I'm going to invest some of the money in mutual funds where it can further grow. Then, I'm going to bring the entire family in a European and US tours. I'll quit my job and probably invest in more money-making schemes that will allow me to have more time to stay at home to watch my children grow.

the first thing i would do is buy my father and sister a house each and buy myself and my fiancee a house then my soon to be mother in law and father in law a house each (this is depending if its more than a million dollar jackpot cause houses here are expensive.lol) then i would pay off everything for our wedding so we dont have to worry about having enough to pay for it all. whatever is left over i would put into the bank. but most likely after buying all those houses and paying for the wedding i would almost be out of money.lol
