What could I do with $252 million dollars? The mega-million is at $252 million. It would be a blessing if I could win. One thing about that is you have to play to win. Boy I wish I could get there to play. Right now I could use this money several different ways. The church (God) would come first, but for myself the first and foremost I'll hire some real dependable help for me. I really wouldn't have to win all of that. A fouth of a fourth of $252 million would please me. I could do plenty with that much. What would you do with $252 million? Would you give to God first? How you invest this amount of money?

Boy if I had this kind of money won in a lottery, I would be so happy. Paying off all my debts, buying property and investing! I wouldn't need to worry about money again, and just live my life! I would be able to relax my whole life, without needing to work for a boss ever again! Now, I will probably donate a good chunk to charity as I really don't need over 100 million! Heck, 1 million is plenty enough!

First off, to win that kind of money would be both a dream and a nightmare come true. If I had that kind of money, first off, I would choose to be paid over the course of many years so that I would never have to worry about our financial situation. I would donate 10 percent of each years income to charities that I believe in, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, our local children's hospital, American Heart Association, etc. I would make sure that all of our debt was paid off. I would also try to help out my mother and my brother, both of whom are struggling financially. Finally, I would fund college funds for both of my children as well as for both of my nieces. Anything that was left would be saved.

I read the news and I did not pay attention on it.To be honest I don’t think I will be the lucky one to get it. Maybe I’m too practical and I even never dream of it. To answer your question I think I will do nothing. I just use the money to walk around the world. No matter what happens if I can use the money to resolve the problem I see or I hear in the world then I will use it. I think for person who has so huge money invest is already not important, spending is most important. However I will continue my contribution on mylot to reach my first payment this month. It’s most important to me now.

It's too abstract for me to have so much money overnight.The concept of 252 million is hard to describe.If god blees me,I might have the chance.I will donate most of them to refugees and charity.After all,many people need help.And the huge amounts of money can realize their value.I will leave a small amount of money to enhance my living standard and investment in the stockmarket.

Well,I should say it is a dream for me.If I can get that pretty much money,there is no doubt that my family will go first.You know,I have experienced a lot of how hard my parents were,they worked everyday without satuaday or sunday to earn money for supporting my schooling,while they themself never complain anything,their only wish is to help me finish the college.So,whatever to say,family will go first.Probably,I will find a good city and buy a perfect apartment for them and offering anything that they will need.After that,I will get some capital for my own business,to have my own company for foreign trade.

hi oh I know how I would use it.first give ten percent tothe closest methodist church.then I would buy a computer fix it'business and put my son to work but first we would hire a large moving van and twodrivers,we would get all our stuff out of storage,pay the people, move to Antioch California after we had found a good apartment complex which we would buy outright, move in to the owners apartment, then find the computer business as we dont want to just use up all this money we are working class so we would keep working but we would enjoy life too. we would put almost all in our two banking accounts and insavings and live off the interest.oh what a dream and in owning the apartment complex we would have a plan to help any renter who has lost his job,out of his or herunemployment insurance check each month we would take a small monthly payment then when the person got a job he cfould pay the rent plus a small payment on back rent which would take as long as we both would agree on.nobody would be evicted just for losing their job

$$252000000 - Hmm what wouldn't I do. First I would "build" the island I always wanted to buy. I have thought long and hard about building my island, I have finally figured it out (I think) Then I would deposit $5000000 into a high interest savings account and live the rest of my days off the interest from that. I would found a charitable organization for the treatment of physically, emotionally, and sexually abused children. They really need help, far more then anyone who hasn't experienced that can imagine. I would also found a charitable organization that provided clean water, to Countries that don't have any. Walking down the isle at wal mart the other day say all the bottled water 10 litrs for 3 bucks....surely it could be used better elsewhere, the things we take for granted here in Canada. I imagine there would be some left, would I give it to the church, not in a 100 million years. But maybe tomorrow, if there was ONE denomination of Christianity not like 6000. Am I a Christian, probably one of the most Christian Christians you will ever meet. I just happen to believe organized religion is a sin against our creator. Cheers.

That is way too much money for me, but before I go crazy I would take care of all the family bills, including college, credit cards and mortgages. I will have to donate a large portion to charity or create a fund for a charity. After that I have to be cautious of new friends. I would travel and more than likely go crazy.

I would contribute a very large portion to charities, and use another large portion to help family and friends. I would of course keep a decent portion for myself to secure my future financially. If I had that much money I would also love to give a server a 1 million dollar tip while eating out sometime, just to make up for all the aholes that stiff them when that is how they make their living.

First of all this side I will be a billionare and I guess I would need to take a time off to make an informed decision as to how I can use the money. But I would think about donating a sizeable portion to charities and NGO's helping the destitude and homeless and orphaned children. Its always my passion to meet the people of the world and sharing responsibilities with other people from other countries, especially other races: I will therefore travel around the globe and meet so many people to spread the message of goodwill. But I always have a dream of building myself an empire that will last throughout ages. As a result, I will ensure that I build myself a sustainable economy that will seek to assist other people around me through development ventures,ect.

I am 18 years of old and just got out of school. I have not gone to college yet because of the stress of money problems but if I were to win that money I would use some to further my education. I would give my parents half of the winnings so they would not have to worry about the immense amount of bills that we have. I would go out and buy some property and build a nice house on it that way it is all paid off. And the last thing I would do with the money is donate a lot of it to some of the people in my community because I live in a small town and we are all affected by the outcome of the sore economy.
