What would you do if you won the lottery?

Question

Would you continue to work? Move to a warmer climate? Donate to charity?

Answer 1

I would disappear onto a secluded tropical island and then look at the list of people that gave me the time of day and treat them very well :)

Answer 2

First, it would depend on how much money I won. Lottery winners, even if they don't go crazy and blow all of their money, often times underestimate the amount of money it will take to live without other income. However, if it was a substantial amount of money, I would invest it and live off the earnings in my retirement. I would become a full time genealogist and maybe buy a vacation home in the southwest United States. I would continue to give large sums of money to my church and to worthwhile charities. I would not support any political candidates.

However, it is a moot point since I don't gamble. May God bless and keep you.

Answer 3

I would buy an above average house.Not a mansion.Buy a BMW 530i and a Suzuki gsxr750.Give $1,000,000 to each of my true friends.Put $1,000,000 in the bank.And then use the rest for the community.Build a homeless shelter.My city has no homeless shelter but a lot of homeless people.And build a lot of low income housing buildings.I just would hope they did not end up being crack houses in the near future.

Answer 4

I would move back to my home town, and buy lots of property, loan only Cajuns money at very low interest rates and create the only Cajun community in America, so we would be able to have a voice

Answer 6

There would be a "Chapel" that would need cleaning........And they'd have to find jobs within, 3 months, and open checking accounts, and spend so much a month, on their own families, then the "Qualified-Families" would, get a new car, and a new 2Bdrm, house, those who followed all the rules, and really stayed drug & alcohol free, the whole time, staying at the shelter.........And when one family got on their "Feet" another would take their place...... I'd have a whole seperate, side, for single people, to stay the night on a bunk-bed, just for the night, and they'd have to be in, by 7:00, unless they worked, then those, who just stayed one night, and didn't work, would have to check out, the next A.M..........I' m sure I'd have too go over, and over the rules, and probably end up changing some of the rules, were it to really happen......But, for tax-purposes, I'd definately want, tax write-offs, for those millions, and the Storage, and Homeless Shelter, would be two, along with the Drive-In, Movie, Theatre..........Oh, and I'd have a guest house, built on the property, along with A Middle-aged, Oriental Couple, to do all the cooking, and cleaning, around our House, and the Gardening, with "Free" rent, plus a "Salary" with their own entrance, on their side of the property.......I'd have every kind of fruit trees, and herbal garden, and the works, ........I'd have a "Coy" fish pond, golf carts , to get around the property on, Horse stables, jacuzzi, sauna, a bar, around the pool, for guests to swim up too.........I'd have a room just for tanning, a music room, for all my family, built-in, fish tanks into the Corridor's walls, and my own, security room, salon, and a hair dresser, to come over as often as I needed her/him to come over.......I'd have a Wine-Cellar, for imported, wines, & cheeses, and Gormet , coffee's, you name it , if it could store down there, I'd have it imported.......I'd have "Lofts" in my kids bedrooms, with their own bathrooms, refrigerators, chain-dome-swings, baby Grand piano's in the main, living room, a Formal, dining room , along with a bar, and an informal, dining room, seperate areas...I'd have sensor lights, througout, the whole property, with camera's on each, one, for the ,monitors, in the security room.......I'd have an "Outdoor" dressing room, for company, we didn't want to have in our, regular, little mansion, it would have all the comodities, and if they stayed over, with my kids, they'd all have too sleep in the guest-house, only family & close friends could go in the Big House, plus the Oriental couple, of course.......I'd better, quit while I'm ahead, here, but, there's so much, I left out.....Oh well.......This is what I'd do if I won, the Lottery.......And I'd want it all at once, not on an annual, basis, even though they take more taxes, that way, I still would want it, in one lump-Sum.........Smile!!!
