I would probably go on a trip around the world, if my winnings were totally big. Then after my long trip, i would face my reality. Buy a house, a great cat and set up a good business.

First i gotta say, my daughter (who is 4) is sitting next to me and she says really loves your picture of the little mermaid. LOL If i won the lottery then i would pay off all my debts. Buy me a nice house for me and the kids together. Even buy some kind of business. I would probably end up helping out my parents also... b/c they did so much for me when i was younger.

When i was younger my who bedroom was decorated in the little mermaid. I even had bed sheets and stuff like that. Now that i'm 23 years old and my 4 year is interested in the little mermaid. my dad's like "i should of kept all your stuff you had in your bedroom when you were younger" i'm like "duhh." anyways all the stuff is gone, and my daughter seems to like tinkerbell very much. so i decorated her bedroom in tinkerbell. my son is 2 and i decorated his bedroom in the new movie... Cars. He loves it

There is only one good answer. Deposit the money and spend only the interest. The first and only rule of money management is never spend your principle.

I would do almost the same as you, but first I would go visit my son and his new wife in Holland. Buy them their first home. Then I would visit lots of places in the world I have always wanted to see. I think I would buy a house boat rather than a stand still home. Then I could travel by boat anytime I wanted. No pets for me right now though. The business, yes, I would want to set up a good online business that I could do while traveling.

i will surely spend it wisely. first i will invest it or put up my own business so that i have an income. then some of it i save it at the bank and of course i will treat myself and my family and friends Maybe buy a lot and build my own house. Some of them will be really put in an invest so that in the future i will a security in case. will i guess the most imortant thing is to give back the blessing to our Almighty God and thank Him for it. the only thing you must remember is to make everything in balance. dont over spend and save for the future. If there's an expense theres should be an income.

If i win a lottery, theres actually a lot of things i wanted to do with it. I really dont know how to divide it but definitely i will be spending it wisely. I will give a part of my winnings to my parents just a thank you gift for providing me everything in past years and for sending me to a good school they were really great parents. of course i will give a little to my sisters and help out my brother's education. I will give money to the church and as well to my chosen charity just really to thank god for the blessing. Most of the money will be placed in my bank account since i will be using it for my future family, my wedding, buy a house and lot, save for my childrens education and start a small business. In this way im not the only one happy but as well the poeple i love.

hi arvee. if i won the lottery i think i would firstly pay off my parents mortgage then go on a big cruise around the world with family and friends and have a think of what to do with all that money. i would probably invest some of it in property as it is known that you can make serious money from this. i don't think i could just sit at home all day so i think i would start a business too to see if i could make it a success. if not, you would be making som much interest at the bank you wouldn,t have to worry too much. good luck!

LOl Well I keep trying to win that lotto, I play both the Euro and the UK lotto draws via VWD, a UK syndicate based group.. If I was to win a decent amount on the Lotto then I would deffinatly buy my home out in Southern Tenerife that I have only ever dreamed about having, ho! And maybe that yatch too so I could go out watch those dolphins when ever it pleased me... Plus I would want to play off my mothers mortgage for her so she could live mortgage free, and give something to Derrian House, a local hospice that caters for children with lukimia and cancers Lynn-Marie

Well, if I won a large sum of money I would put it away into my high-interest savings account. When I finished university (and earned some serious $$'s in interest) I'd buy a house outright, not having to worry about all of the borrowing and homeloans and crap that my peers would have to worry about... With the extra (assuming I won a million or so) I'd probably go on the trip to Japan I've been planning to go to since I was about 9 years old. But I doubt that is EVER going to happen.

i would give the half to the charity, since this is my chance to help alleviate some lives, most especially the children. it really breaks my heart to see them suffering. the other half? well i will use it to amuse myself. i'll travel around the world.
