If you won the lottery what would you do with your money and why?

Answer 1

I would:

1. Pay off all our (my husband and I) bills and my family's bills
2. Buy my mother and grandmother new homes
3. Travel with my husband for a few years

Answer 2

Anything I wanted.. but.. I know I would pay off all my debts and the debts of my REAL friends. I would design and build my own house in the middle of 2000 acres so I had lots of privacy. I would also have my own airstrip and would buy a couple of airplanes that I'd like to have as well as a couple of cars. I would get the best doctors I could find to help my wife to get better and would take her to some places she's always wanted to visit.. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Alaskan Cruise and then a flight across Canada in our own airplane.
I'd donate some money to a couple of animal related charities in memory of my dearest aunte whom I miss very, very much since her passing 2 years ago. I would donate some money to the lung association because I have asthma. I would do something really nice for my father who will be 81 this year. I would throw a party for my friends to celebrate our friendship.
Finally, apart from investing a substantial amount for the future, I'd also put together a special memorial and plot of land for our pets so that they have somewhere special to go where we can visit them after they pass away. A quiet place, nicely landscaped .. a place only for us to go to.
I know.. a big silly dream.. but what are we without our dreams!

Answer 3

PAY THE DEBTS! and get some rest.

Then put it in several places all over the world where it can gain secured interest. (FDIC only insures $100L). I'd have it all in a Roth IRA so if I get sued I can't lose a thing.

Then I'd take care of my family and friends like I always wanted to do.

I'd pay the tithe, divided among every church I've ever gone to.

Then I'd get the medical treatments I need.
Then I'd go hang-gliding, skiing, scuba-diving, parachuting, ice-skating, camping, rowing, canoeing, touring every national and state park - starting with Grand Canyon, ultralighting, parasailing, sleeping, visit the international space station, tour S.E.T.I., come back to Yahoo Answers to get some more ideas, biking, learn to do a backflip from standing position, be on the Sopranos, go on the Daily Show (which is free but I'm sure it's lots of fun), sleep, and then finish the book I'm writing and the movie I wrote, then get them published and filmed.

And then on the next day I'd...

Answer 4

Invest it. Pay debts. Buy land. Maybe have a few good parties. Maybe a few vacations. Would live pretty much the same though. If it was a ton of money I would make a large park with swimming and chage a small admission to keep it going. Like a State park sort of. Anyone with a car more than 10 years old could go there free.

Answer 5

If i won the lottery i would save at least 200,000 dollars for college. I would do this because i really do not want to take out loans that would never go down. If i do this it would be much better.

Answer 6

I would buy a whole block and build houses on it for all of my friends and family to have. Also, buy everyone a new car. They would still have to work, but they would have to do something they enjoy. I would pay for things they needed if that job didn't make as much money as they needed. Then we could have block parties and everyone would be one big happy family. The best part would be not giving the gay people something. they would all come to my door like they were my best friend and I could be like- Nope!!

Answer 7

Take about $200,000 and just blow it!

Invest the rest

With the earnings I"d live off of no more than 30%, let 30% grow, give 10% away to needy friends/family, and use 30% for charitable causes.

Answer 8

if i won the lottery, i would pay off my brother's and my education loans...then get a cozy lil studio apt for me 'n my fiance...put some of the money into saving 'n give some to my family...the rest would go into my wedding..

Answer 9

I believe it's not good to give money to people but rather to use your money to help them learn how to better their lives and not have to use welfare, so that's what I would do.
Whether it's helping underpriveleged children go to better schools & college or helping third world people to make more & better food for survival, the world needs more people helping and fewer only looking out for themselves or trying to get a ride from the system.
