I would pay my parents back for the money they have spent on my college tuition, then I would buy my mom a new car. I would then jet set off to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I would donate a large sum to an orphanage there, and then I would buy a nice house for my friend there and his family. And then I suppose we would just live it up!

I'd learn to invest it into billions... Then after I learn how to grow billions, I would have fun, Planting the seeds to new billionares, and I would work hard to use that billion to grow more millionares, and businesses to help bring and end to poverty.. as much as I could... I have this wild idea of founding my own nation.. and growing billions so each citizen was millionares :d ... but I would have to grow it to 50,000 millions..... and find a plot of land to buy for 50,000 people to live on.... convince 50,000 people to relocate.. and then make sure the country we were suceeding from was alright with the idea so they did not blow us up :d ... But I am sure if it was country that could benefit in trade and economy with my 50,000 millionare citizens buying from them.. That should not be to much of a problem :) ... and yes dreams.. But if I could not complete all that.. Then I would want 35 million to give each of my family members 1 million of their own and watch them all spread it out to the community and those in need.. As far as me.. I'd figure out my living expensve for the rest of mylife... then give away what I did not need.. As all I want is a house, the marshland behind it... and if I did not have a job but had millions.. I'd hire me a driver.. spend time traveling all over the US buy rail giving the rest of the money to people who need it the most.. Would even be fun to hold a contest for people to submit why people need to be helped... and who they believe in their community deserves it. One contest winner gets it. One surprise person in the same community I choose gets it.. and one other members of the community honored with it from the community leaders.. to someone who would have it. I do not want to buy stuff I want a make a difference to me making a strong difference and doing things to bring good presence, is far better than giving good presents! :) ... but at 11 cents a day on average my millionare will only happen in my next life :d .. - DNatureofDTrain

Nice, but you know...you have to think of a really nice product and market to cater to if you're planning to earn millions after millions. Almost everything now that has demand are taken over already. It's hard to find a business that would make you a million. But heck, even cents a day can make a million. Haha. Optimism, and not rationalism will get you on top. Being rational just makes you more paranoid sometimes. Haha. And I see optimism in your post, so see you at the top.

first thing i'll do is to thank God for this very great blessing. then i'll save half of it in several banks. i'll give some to our church, some to my parents and close relatives, then i'll probably make a charity foundation. that way, i'll be able to share my blessings with others. the rest i'll invest it in stocks or put up my own business. :)

Wow 1,000,000 $ is a lot man!! 1st, I will buy bungalow, BMW to my parents! I will give them 500,000 $. 2nd, I will buy myself house, cars, and marry with my girlfriend (Maybe still young to say that, lol!). 3rd, I will buy whatever thing that my gf like! 4rd, investment! Money will be finished one day, so I will use 1 part of the money to do some investment or doing business. If the money I won from Lottery, definitely I will do so as per above. But, if the money is what I get from my effort and work like cow everyday, I will keep it and use for emergency. But of course I will treat my parents and gf the best! I love them!

I would pay off all my debt, my parents, and my brothers. Depending on what's next, I'd build my family a house. I guess I'd have to have the money first before I even went on to step 2.

$1,000,000?(Lol) Hmmm...I'll probably invest it into a game development studio, just a small one. That's my dream. But then I'll just buy my parents a new house, a new car for my dad, and tour around the world for my mom (and dad as well of course), that's about $100,000. Then I'll invest the money here in the Philippines for a fast food chain, which again would take about $100,000. And I tell you, you'll never be bankrupt with a fastfood franchise here like McDonalds or Jollibee(A Filipino owned one). Especially if you put it on a mall. And then I'll still got about an estimated amount of $700,000. I'll buy a house for me and my future wife and kids, car and all that jazz, and it'll take another 100k. The rest, I'll invest on a small-time game development studio, and then help the poor by setting up I don't know, cooperative maybe or give them businesses and stuff. You have to teach them how to fish and not just give them some. And of course, since I believe in giving tithes, I'll give back $100,000 to the church. There.

I would use all the money to buy shares in some finanacially stable firms and wait 2 or 3 years for the economy to recover. For as long as the company does not go busted. I will make a few folds in return of my capital investment. It is a risky move but promises higher returns than fix deposits or structured bonds. Happy MyLotting...

Hahaha... I think I will make sure whether it is true or just a dream. But, if lucky enough, I really get that much money, I will find a safe place to store them first. Then I will list a list which contains what I want to buy. That's really a big task and I guess I need to think it through after I stop laughing, that takes long. Hahaha...

The very first thing I would do is pay off all our bills! I would then help my parents and our kids with theirs. I would help the ones that dont have their own house get one. I would set up accounts for college for my grandbabies and the ones that want to go would then be able to. If any of ours wanted to go back for more education I would help them too. I would make some type of organization in our town for kids. Someplace they could go to hang out, I would have like a dance class, craft, just different things to interest them. I would also donate to our Womans Care Center. I would re-do our house (it needs some work). I would give my best friend the money for the down-payment on their house. I would also get a new vehicle and my husband a new truck. We would take our best friends on a trip. The rest would be put into savings and invested. Man is nice to dream! LOL

The first thing would be pay off all these bills man... A million isn't that much in the big picture, just a lot to have at one time. I'd love to have it too. I would get a house, nice house, not a mansion and invest/save as much as possible and live off the interest. You mess around and spend a mill in less than a month!
