If I win big in the lottery, i'll secure my children's future by investing the money in banks and some business wisely. And share the blessing to some charities and give my family a big big treat!

Well, the first thing I would do is get completely out of debt. Then probably some home repairs, and a much needed vaction.

The first thing that would happen, whether I liked it or not, would be the government getting what they claim is their share. After that I'd give back to God, based on the entire amount won, as He has blessed me. Then I'd pay off my debts and if there was any left over I'd pay my family's debts as far as the money would go. If there was still a lot left over after that, I'd put the money in some sort of interest bearing account and try to live off the interest.

Everybody is happy with any luck, one of them wins the lottery, but not a few people because someone could fall in the lottery of life. If I win a lottery the first thing to do is thank God, then set aside the good fortune to be shared with family,relatives and people that have not been so happy in its economic life.

keep the money. apply for three to four savings account in different banks and put some of the money there. probably start paying bills but i won't tell them about it. it's too risky and only once in a lifetime that we actually get the money that big.am sure there's a lot of millionaires thanks to us betting on the numbers

I would buy real estate. I am really interested in owning real estate, so I would splurge on that dream if I was lucky enough to win a big amount of money.

I'm heading to the mall for a big shopping spree. After I'm finished with the mall here I will go to my countries biggest city and do some serious shopping there. After that I'd come home, and buy a nice house and a car.

the first thing that i would do is to pay the morgege. and help out my parents. it would be nice to have that kind of money. bu as i read that the chances forsome to win the lottery is smaller than to be hit by ligthning i really stoped any urges that i have to buy tickets. so my chances are down to 0.

First things first, I would pay off all of my debt. Student loans, mortgage, credit cards, car loan, etc. Then, I would give all of my "important" family members a chunk each, for helping me through some particularly difficult periods in my life. That would set me straight with the world, and I would throw the rest in savings accounts, and live off of the interest until the day I die.
