What would you do if you won the lottery?

firtly, i would keep the winnings a complete secret from everyone around me, family, friends, the press, etc. - but NOT because i would want be selfish about it! i would invest all of it and would want to be able to use it over time, as i please, to donate to causes i support, or to help family and friends in need. i would continue to work and live as normal, and make sure i have trusts set up for all of my loved ones in the event of my passing. i think that coming into a great deal of money can be a huge blessing, but sometimes people get carried away and forget that life is about more than money and what you can buy. i believe money can enhance a person's life if used in the right way, and if it is generously and graciously given to others, they will humbly and graciously receive it, rather than greedily.

If I won the lottery... I would definately pay off all my debt (which there is alot). I would take a vacation to Italy and Ireland (my two nationalities). I would buy a house~nothing too extravagant~I would have an inground pool with a waterfall and a hottub though. My two daughters would have the best education imaginable. My family would be financially secure~that consists of my mother, brother, grandfather, and aunts, uncles, and cousins. My family has 400 acres in upstate NY~I would build my dream log cabin and use it as a get away as often as humanly possible. Money would not change me, but I would have to say, it would make me a bit happier than I am today b/c I have absolutely no $$$ at all right now!!!

i will used that for business and for my family. and also for the future of my life. im going to spend it wisely coz winning in lotto is just once in a lifetime..

buy houses and lots for me, my mom and dad, 3 other siblings. i'll donate to charity of course. travel around the country and globe. invest on my kids education.. what else?.. oh buy new cars. invest a property in boracay. buy whatever my in-laws wish. i want to have a ranch as well. i'll buy the latest release on mobile phones and computers. i also want to donate to church.. well, i'll keep you updated if there's more. lol!

You did not mention how much was to be won. If I won a substantial amount of money, I would pay off all of my bills. I would donate ten percent to my church. I also would give my family money in order to bail them out of their situations. If there is any left, I will purchase a house, then get a new car. I am unemployed now, but if I were working, I would quit my job. If I had a generouse amount of money I would not need to work, I would pass that job along to someone who is in need of employment because of the economic situation the country is in.

If I was lucky enough to win the lottery I would instantly buy a house. Because i'm only 22 trying to get on the property ladder is almost impossible especially with hardly any savings to put down as a deposit. This would be the best thing for me in my current situation. The next thing I would do is definately buy a new car something sportier and really fun to drive. However no matter what happed I don't think i'd feel like giving up working. What with being so young I think i'd have far too much time on my hands so might find myself a little bored. Perhaps I wouldn't continue to work full time maybe part time instead. That way i'd have plenty of time to do both work and any hobbies etc I want to do.

Vow! If this happens in my Life....I will purchase a beautiful House for my family and as well as buy a Honda Civic Car and go to abroad for a joyful Trip with my family...

I would pay off all my bills, buy me a new house, get new vehicle ,new clothes, and just take a vacation and have so much fun i wont come home. If i gave to charity i want to see where my money is going cuz alot of places just pocket the money instead of giving it homeless or people who need it. But i would give it to people myself would be better then i know it get them a place to live and help them get a job and do them a great service

Made Me think for a while... coz suddenly my mind stretched its imagination all over the universe ...but back to your discussion,,, well i would make divisions of the lottery amount ,, where 70% i would like to keep it to myself,and the rest 30% i would love to give to my parents ...Of the 70% ,,,40% would be put to good investment plans,,20% for Travelling and shopping(thats especially for my imagination ) ..and the rest 10% i would make it earn interest and give that amount to as scholarship to my college at the end of their term ......it would help a needy student ....

I would first move and buy a house, then a new car for myself and one for my husband, then pay off any debt that we have. I would also buy a crap load of new things for my two sons and put the rest away for them when their older!

buy an island lol.

If a huge amount of money dropped my way, I'd have a financial planner's advice for me to get the amount to last and to grow for me until the day I no longer need to depend it. From there, a suitable amount would go for all the respective responsibilities which my life holds. Princess

When i will won sum large money then i will think that this i have got because of god so if suppose there would be sufficient amt. then i will make the temple for my god. Then after i will try to fullfill all the dreams of my family members,my best friends. Because when they would be happy then only i can happy otherwise no need of spending money only on me.And after that if still there money would be remaining then i will spend those money on poor peoples so that i can get blessings of them. Because surviving happy life there is heavily need of blessings of older people & of poor people. Thank you, Vikas

I would be very happy if I won the lottery, I would definitaly have a party, though I think I like mylot too much to leave (:

if i have a chance to win lottery, i will buy a few houses. i will live in one, while i rent the rest out. i will get a good income without even working. a very good reason to retire. and yes i will donate part of it to the charity. good luck with your lotteries!!

I would invest in a couple of things. Then would start a couple of businesses i have been wanting to start up. I would buy my own home for sure. That would lead me to a better life.

If I won a large sum of money then first of all I will purchage a laptop because where i m working there was a shortage of light. my ups is stand only 10 minutes therefore i lost my important downloading. Most probabley i works on internet for jobs so i will invest some money in some programmes.

if i win a lottery i wud fulfill my long running necessities.which i desire a lot.first thing i ll do is buy me an iphone for which i hav waited a long but still stuck to it saying to my dad tat i ll rather prefer not to buy any other than this apples eyecandy product and the second one ll be an ELEMENT skateboard which costs about $119,which is hard to find in india so to be shipped and buy me an sony psp as well as playstsion 3...or the forecoming apples yet another cool gadget THE IGAME.other things will be an ipod,nice outfits from peter england ,cool jeaans 4m flying machine,if the lottery i win is more than 7 figures then i wud buy a villa near a beach resort,...............never get tired of wishin

If I won, I will share my blessings with the poor. I will provide scholarships to poor smart kids, I will sponsor few families to have their own business. I will provide business to all my poor relatives. I'll get a house for my mother, we will make build up businesses all over the country. We will travel around the world. I will send my nephew and nieces to US for education. Invest some of the money for time deposits. What else? I think everything is covered. Of course we will collect cars. Are you against my plans?

spend some, save some and invest some.. set aside for education and health care going abroad is also a nice plan...
