What would I do ... :lol:

I'd buy a new computer, a car, some household stuff, some clothes, some personal items, start a savings account and save some of it, and spend some on me. :D

I would save most of what I won from a lottery. I really have nothing specific to spend it on. I would share it with my parents and my immediate first and foremost.

This reminds me of wanting to get thing I would like with the money I have... but really no way to get the few things I want. I don't have a credit card, nor checks; and will probably will never have either one for my entire life... useful for purchasing things online.

I dream of winning the lottery alot. :lol: I would first quit my job!!! Then I would build a big house on the lake, buy a brand new Suv, a convertible sports car, take a few trips, buy some jewelry, save a lot of it, help family and close friends, and give some to charity.
I would sit around all day just relaxing on the porch watching the sunrise and the sunset. Read books, take naps and do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted cause I would be rich!!!! :lol:

First of all my family would be debt free. I would send my parents on the cruise of a lifetime. Make sure my children had college money. I would give some to my favorite charities, then I would invest the rest and let the money work for me.

The first 10% would go to my church. After that, I'd make sure my family is taken care of. Then would come whatever extravagances I wanted that I could afford and of course a very large nest egg for when I get old! Another expenditure would be, like Mamadude, for medical expenses to deal with the major heart attack I would have when I won!!

Pay off the house for the "2nd" time, pay off the few bills we have, set my son up in a house, donate at least 25% to the church THEN buy a motor home and travel the rest of my days!

I would donate to the church and numerous worthy causes. Help all the family out. Pay Marshall and Chad to run this site full time :-)! Quit my job and be a stay at home mom and travel the country.

Mostly I would invest most of my money so I would never have to worry about it again.

I would for sure give to the church, and donate to the HIV Childrens fund. I would BUY my USA citizenship and get my mom and dad out of debt. The rest I would invest and use it to start a non profit organization for abused South African woman.

Of course, I cant win a lottory in the US anyway...so you guys have way more chance of winning than I do :)

I would invest half to three quarters of it back into lottery tickets. I would be sure to win again. Perhaps I would do it into several different lotteries.

NOT WORK!...

Pay off anything left that I owe on bills, and pay off my father's / stepmother's bills so my father could retire now. Take care of my family/relatives, and pursue the things that I have always wanted to pursue without worry of cost, money, stress of work.

I'd save alot but not before splurging on family friends and of course myself. Probably start up a business too!!

OK, then I will pray for you to win!! :lol:

But I agree with you, I would definitely share it with family and friends. And with the portion I keep, I would pay off all my debt and maybe buy a new car.
