What would you do if you won the lottery?

Answer 1

Pay off all debts, buy a farm and raise steriod free cattle for food. Too much food has steriods in it these days. Besides there are a lot of people out there who would pay a lot of money for this beef.

Answer 2

Well if it was a Canadian lottery, the prize would be tax free. You would only have to pay the taxes on the interest that you make. First thing I would do, go and buy a nice pick up. Actually it would depend on the amount I won. If I won 10.8 million I would buy a new truck, and RV, and start a couple of businesses. The reason for the businesses, is that you would need a tax right off. I would then take 3 million and invest it in a yearly high interest account,(usually paying about 20% yearly) and that would be what I would live off of. One of the businesses I would start would be a landscaping business, this way they could cut my lawn, and do the snow removal. The next one would be to buy apartment buildings or large holmes to be renovated into apartments. The landscaping company would do all the outside work. Again tax write off. I would also invest into a wrestling company. The reason here is, its a cash business. You do have to keep records of your shows, but as the old saying goes....what the government doesn't know.

Answer 3

Assuming this is the big, huge lottery....
1. Pay off my debts.
2. Purchase/build a house with geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, and all the other Eco-smart stuff available.
3. Purchase a hybrid car.
4. Invest a big chunk of it in savings for retirement after consulting with a financial adviser.
5. Buy up a whole bunch of property and renovate it with more Eco-smart stuff. Then I'd rent out and sell the properties.
6. Go back to art school and study sculpture at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
7. Quit my job and start my own business.
8. Travel around the world and visit each place at least once.
9. Use the profits from my business to help others around the world create Eco-smart homes.
10. Do a happy dance!

Answer 4

An answer to this question would assume that the in the midst of the sudden financial realization of millions of dollars you would be an unchanged person.

I honestly don't know what I would do. It would be hard to balance making the expenditures count vs. just blowing it.

Plus there would be long term stability and prosperity items that would need to be hammered out. Especially if I were to elect the cash payment instead of the annuity.

But the think I know I wouldn't do is be like the idiots who won the lottery previously and would constantly get robbed because they carried $250k in their back seat.

Answer 5

I would first split it in half. First half would go into a account that would make interest, so I would have money invested for my future. The other half would go towards paying off debts, sharing a little with family, upgrading some of my posessions (like a car).

Answer 6

depends on how much it is. if it was a multimillion lotto i would buy out the rest of my contract. after doing so i would pull my pants down in front of my commanding officer and spread my cheeks singing to the tune of so long farewell like jim carey. after i got that out of my system i would buy myslef a nice little place out in the middle of nowhere canada. id outfit it with a generator a satellite tv and a jacuzzi. i would then buy myself enough food for the rest of my life and live in total isolation from the rest of the world. peace at last for me. i dont care what happens just as long as it doesnt bother me. oh and id probably buy a nice gift for my family. like i would build an auditorium to hold their family reunions that i wouldnt go to. oh and i would hire a hitman to kill my worthless spermbag of a father. and id hire a maid for all of my grandparents to wipe their bums and fix them food. i cant think of anything else right now but ill let you know if i come up with something.

Answer 7

buy tons of stuff for my family (cars, houses, etc.), go on a huge clothing shopping spree, buy a huge house w/ 50 acres and a pool and basketball court and pond, horses, dogs, a bmw, a mustang, a porshe convertible, pay bills, travel the world, save money, go to college, be a dancer (dont have to get a high paying job becuz i have money), donate to my church and charity!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Dance on my boss's desk and then do a cartwheel exit out the door!

Answer 10

I would call everybody I know and ask who gave me the ticket, since I never buy them.
