Say tommorow was lottery draw day. Say your numbers came up. Say you won 9 million. Be completely honest. What would be the FIRST thing you'd do with your new-found wealth? Would you buy a new house? Help someone get out of debt? What?

sweet_eyes6699, a good day or night to you, my friend. If I won the lottery, what would be the first thing that I will do? I will first of all, pay all my debts. Then I will play the stocks. The earnings from these stock investment will be made to set up a trust for the poor but deserving students to help them study at better schools.

I would buy my mom a house then myself then I would buy a few apartment building and make them low rental for the elderly because I am always hearing them say they can't pay high rent and that pisses me off because why would you want to charge them high rent when they don't have the money as it is. Some have to live on the streets or with families and just like everyone else they want to have there own place to do whatever they want.God bless

Well, I would do several things. First put one half of my winnings into a high interest account. Second upgrade the fire equipment in ym hometown fire department. Third, take one year off of work. I would not quit working. but take one year off of work and buy myself a car, I would take my car and drive all accorss america, and take in this country, many places to visit. and many people who are friends from the internet, Id love to meet. I can barely even speak to them at this point because of my weird schedule and their normal schedules lol. fourth 6 months would be spent on the west coast exclusively, ive always been drawn to the ocean and have yet to see the pacific, and the way things are looking, I may never. Im only a few hours form the atlantic, but havent seen it in years (next month i should im so happy) and fifth, I would return tpo my normal life, with the addition of some luxery such as a home instead of an apartment. but I wonder if i would truly enjoy living out the dream of cross country travel by myself, im much happier in a relationship, and currently Im single, so i would probobly hold off on the trip for a while. Id love to share such a wonderful adventure with someone dear to me
