If you were to win the lottery today, a big one, say it was 50 million AFTER taxes and such, what would you do?
I am not arguing for or against playing the lottery, if you like, pretend you inherited it from the Uncle Joe you never knew you had lol.
Oh, and would you let me know your faith at some point? I'm interested in all points of view!
Have a great Sunday!

I would give as much to my mom as she needs to pay off debts/bills at the moment. I would buy all my friends one thing that they've always wanted, put some in the bank, and donate the rest to charity.
My faith=atheist, if that matters.

Well, after I awoke from unconscienceness, I would buy all my friends (who drink and are of age) a beer. Then I'd pay off all my bills, go to college...or college-like place (design school, culinary/barista academy), and put some in the bank, and some in a mayo jar under my bed. I would also like to go shopping b/c...well, there are some things I need (new sheets, towels, clothing.shoes) and things I want. Probably take care of the 'needs' first and the 'wants' every so often. I know I'd want to give some money to charity, but I dunno who. Porbably the Humane Societies where I live and the Multiple Scleroisis Soceity (b/c my mom has MS). Other than that, I have no idea. no big plans other than pay off bills and treat my friemds to a round at the bar. I am pagan/wiccan, by the way.

I would pay off all of my bills, all of my friends` bills, buy a house, TRAVEL, there are a few charities i would donate money to, have more children (one or two more), start my own company (don`t know what exactly, yet), live happily ever after. It`s not that I am not happy now already, only with some extra cash you could actually go out and do stuff without worrying to much about your budget!
My religion? I was raised lutheran, but I am not an active churchgoer

I'd donate 10% to some charity or charities that I thought were doing a good job, such as "One" campaign. Also I'd start and help creative artists with a business for publishing (books) which also did web design.
Also my faith? I believe in God, but don't believe that he communicated at any point through words of men, but instead through the cause and effect and laws of moral consequences for our actions.

First, my husband and I would give away our house to someone who needs it. Then we would build a nice modest ranch so that we could finally have a farm. There, I would have animals galore and invite school groups out to learn about them. We would also start growing organic foods and giving those to people in need. I would put my younger brother through college and get a nice house for my parents with a wing for my ailing grandmother and a nurse to care for her when she needs it. The list goes on and on and on.....I am a Christian....a very open-minded Christian. Oh...and I would finally get a dog and finally go on a great vacation. LOL

I would first replace my current house that is falling apart and get a car that was gas-efficient and would take me anywhere I needed to go to replace my current vehicle. Nothing extravagant, just sufficient. I would remain anonymous and keep my eyes and ears open for people in need and then what they needed would show up miraculously on their doorstep anonymously. That would be so much fun! I am a Christian(Penecostal).
