Assuming you have already quit your job, helped your family, bought your favorite car and your ranch next to the lake. What thing have you always wanted to do but was just out of your grasp to do before money?

i'll put up a school for the poor people... no age limitations...
i believe education is for all for free for you and for me...
being educated doesnt mean learning all the things you need to know in school... but applying into life what you have learned for the betterness of many.

Well, if there's any money left after I bought that car, ranch and helped my family, I'd check out everything this great country has to offer. I am a proud Canadian, a rare breed it seems these days. I'd start in British Columbia (where I live) and slowly work my way down to Newfoundland then back again. Then I'd go rescue all the dogs that are waiting to be euthanized because nobody wants them and I'd give them a good home with me or find another family who would love them as much.

Oh, choices, choices ....
First, it would clearly be consistent to contribute to the well-being of humanity. A sizeable donation would join the funds already assembled by Bill Gates and Warrent Buffett, for two reasons:
1. Their target program promises the most benefit to the world at large of any single philathropic program today
2. They have designed it to be well-managed, effective and actually perform the work rather than just sit on bundles of bucks
Then I could actually put into action a program I created 20 years ago and so far haven't been able to sell through to reality - creating a housing program for distressed corners of the world.
Just briefly, it is already readily possible to use local materials, innovative design and production concepts, and local resources to begin creating decent, environmentally-suitable housing for millions, from South Africa to Russia to the tsunami-shattered shores of Southeast Asia. The designs, tools, and resources are in place - it takes will and a core of funding to make this happen. AND it can even be a profitable undertaking that establishes new permanent businesses for locals to operate and build their own economies.
Of course, I have also really, really wanted to restore and fly a WWII fighter, and take a lovely, witty, intelligent woman in it for a long dinner flight - maybe to the Bahamas. Got any plans tonight, Fantasy Girl?

I am from India...right now in NY...I have seen all the poverty in India...I am glad that I never lived a life like tht but I always felt bad for having enough for me when I saw other people struggling to make the ends meet...I always wanted to help them...but having just enough wasn't really enough to help others...if I won the lottery...I wouldn't buy the ranch next to the lake...lol...I would help my parents and maybe buy a car..any car....and donate the rest of the money to people I know...to children for their education...as thts something thts very costly in India

I would travel the world. But most of all to Germany. I'm a photographer, and I've always wanted to do a solemn photographic journal of Auschwitz.
On a lighter note, I think I'd buy myself a French Cafe just for the free croissants.

Help the poor because you only have one life to live and so do they so I would rather help them to have a better life. Every good person deserves a chance. Once your gone none of the rich life would matter. I always say put yourself insome one elses shoe. A nice home or car is nothing, compared to knowing that you have made a life time of difference.

I always wanted to go visit Amsterdam; track down my ancestry in Ireland and England and also go lay on the coast of the Mediterranian Sea in Italy.
I would also like to see the gigantic cities of China and Japan.
Lastly, I would just want to relax and meet some women in Venezula.... they say they have the most beautiful women in the world.

Be able to give to the people that have touched my life .Not family ,some were strangers that gave me a smile or kind word just when I needed it most. Some were old lovers that taught me what real love could be when I found my true love.Some were people that gave of themselves without thought of reward, their selflessness touched and inspired me ,I would try to find them and show them that there is a reward for their deeds by giving to them or their causes.

I have met so many nice online people - I would love to have the chance to actually meet them in person. So if money was no problem I would start making my list and start visiting all over the world!! What an experience that would be.

I'd like to go on the Gumball Rally. Then after that I'd try and obtain a licence to drive every form of transport there is. After that I'd open my little coffee shop in the French Alps and be content.

I already do what I always wanted to do - writing. Lottery win is not going to change anything. Probably, I'll giveaway most part of it to the people on a first come first serve basis.
