I couldnt imagine just counting my money or becoming idle. Definitely give to charities but also set up some kind of fund that would accrue interest to grow and enable me to do even more for the needy.

I would pay off all my bills, invest some of it, set up trust funds for my boys, give some to charity, put some back for a rainy day, and then help the rest of my family members.

Definitely a worthy answer. Be debt-free is being mentally free.

pay off debt, pay off closest friends' debt (not house), pay off family debt Then, real estate and safe interest bearing investments (staggered CD's?)

If I win the lottery, I would split up the money 25% as savings, 25% for personal and family needs, 25% for starting a business and the last 25% for charitable institutions.

Let's see...I would give to my church and to a few charities that I really believe in. Then, I would pay off my house and my car, my parents car and my sisters car. I would make sure that a few other family members had housing to accomodate them. I would keep working, but would go back to teaching part-time for 3 or 4 different schools and I would go back to school.

There are so many ideas I have for a lotto win I don't know where to start....I would likely not have musch left for myself as I would give a lot to people who really need it. I would love to see there happy faces, and the stress relief on their faces.
