If I won the lottery, which is not at all likely because I don't actually PLAY the lottery, there are a lot of things on my to do list. I would finish paying off my dad's mortgage, which he struggles with. He owes like $45,000 more on the house. I would pay that off for him. Then he could basically live for free at his home and just pay utilities and property taxes & insurance. That would be awesome for him. I would love to see my dad not have to work so hard to make ends meet. Also, my mom's financial situation is a complete disaster. She is in almost $20,000 of debt with her one credit card. Which is insane if you ask me. I would pay that off for her, and then I would CUT THE DARN THING UP!!! I might also buy her a house if I could afford it. I would probably put away money for my 10 year old sister to go to college. I wish someone had done that for me, that would have been nice. I would probably do something for my older sister, too. Maybe buy her a car or pay off her medical debt (it's not MUCH, like $2,000, but still). I can't think of anything else. I would love to be able to help my family out financially.

Hello, lowyder. First, I would help open a homeless shelter here where I live. We need one here in my city. Then I would open an account for funding it. I would send money to Compassion International so they can do good for all children everywhere. I am a Christian and so I would start up a school with housing, for people to come and learn GOD's word. I would also help my family with things they need. I also want to start a large farm to grow food for people, and have a place for people to work and live. Have a great day...

Yes, I would employ ex prisoners. I was once in prison for 10 years. I know how it feels to be jobless, and even homeless. I love helping people, and that is what I feel I am called to do in this life. It was hard to get a job so I started my own business. Its wonderful Thank you for your comment. Have a great day...

If we won the lottery we would pay off all of our bills, buy a house, new cars for us and I would give money to my older children and then we would pay off all of our parents bills and assure that they are comfortable and could retire if they wanted to. Our parents work and really they should be retiring but with the economy the way it is they cannot afford to. We would take care of our needs and theirs.

if i ever win the lottery, i would buy my family our own home, we've been renting for as long as i can remember. i would also save for my son's future. i would put up our own business so me and my husband will have our own source of income, no only as employees. like you, i am also raised by my grandmother since i was born, so i am very much attached to her than my mom. i love her sooo much so if i can, i would give her all the best. i would also like to help a charitable institution to help the underprivileged with their lives too. it's good to share blessings. it's a way to say our thanks to the Lord. :-)

Well, If I won the lottery. Aside of course for a house, a car and a percentage to my savings and business... I would definitely share a percentage to my loved ones... my father, uncle and aunts, brother and sister and some closely related family members. Another percentage maybe to the kids foundation maybe and maybe start a project to provide training and jobs for the jobless here in the Philippines. I would probably start within my community... will try to get in touch to the authorities... for this kind of project maybe... hmmm... got a lot of things in mind but one things for sure I would definitely share some for the community and the jobless... :D

I will go to the Philippines to visit my brother and his family and get them everything they need and pay the hospital bills. Also I will repay my half brother who has had my back and helped me out many times in the past, For my parents I will help them to get their house fixed up so they can enjoy it more or sell it and then buy them a new house if they decide to sell. After my family is cared for I will give money to my local church who donates all the money they receive to several great causes.
