Take my Girlfriend to Italy and propose to her in either the Sistine chapel or in front of the Trevi Fountain at night...
then invest in our future together...so that she would never have to want.

I'd buy a 4 storey building near where I currently live. The first floor would have a restaurant cafe where students could get part time work. The food would be good but the prices would only be enough to keep the place running (purely non-profit for me). The second floor would be like a library where students could study in comfort. I'd personally choose which books to stock it with and maybe put 6-10 computer terminals. Third floor would be purely recreational...pool tables, foozball, etc. Fourth floor would have small a gym and offer spa services (rates will be competitive since I don't want it to be crowded). I'd live on the penthouse. I'd arrange it so the businesses below would be self sustaining. The rest of the money would be invested.

Since I never buy a lottery ticket, I'll never win.
However, if I did win, here is what I would do.
If it was a small lottery (1-20 million), I probably wouldn't do that much different than I do now. 40-50% goes to pay taxes and most of the rest would be invested. We would probably spend a little on home improvements, a vacation, etc.
If it was a big lottery (over $20 million), we would probably indulge ourselves more (no more cheap scotch or cheap wine!), but still most would be invested.

I guess first i would pay off my house and small bills. Make sure all my grandchildren kids had a small college fund. Put 25% in a savings account or retirement fund. Then I would fund a retirement home or place where elderly people who can not afford care and have no immediate family or caregivers. Then
could retire with dignity and care, real care not the make shift care I have seen in the past few years! People are medicated or restrained if they have dementia , and are not treated like people, this just breaks my heart!

It really depends on how much money I won. If it was a million dollars, I would give both my children some money to put a deposit on a house. I would visit relatives I have never seen in Europe and then give up work and live happily after with my husband. I would also invest some as well.

I'd like to move to Santa Fe, New Mexico and start a foundation that supports new work in dance.
I'd love to just walk away from my job, as much as I love it, the fantasy of winning the lottery makes me want to walk.
I'd want to set up my sister and brother but not have them live with me, lol.
And maybe go to bartending school and open a quiet bar to pass the time with some old codgers and listen to some vintage jazz.
...sigh...

well lets see..hmmm i would first pay off any dept that i was entitled to pay. i would buy a new house for me out in the country with pleanty of land to ride on and hunt. and also a house for my parent near by. i would buy a new reliable car and help my friends pay off any depts that they have. i would deffinately buy a new alverez accoustic guitar (white) and have all the accesories and basically live my life like i wanted to. i wouldnt quit my job cause thats what everyone says and thats why they go bankrupt after a few years. i would put a bunch of it in savings for my children to get through school and collage and also i would invest into stocks for me and my children. i would manage it like gold and make sure its not getting wasted. i dont know but i would make sure i dont screw anything up, thats all. thanks for the two points and hopefully you pick mine for best answer cause that would be grateful lol

I would buy a house in my Los Angeles neighborhood, minus the $100,000 that I would finance.
With the remainder, I would buy a pack of gum. Not Altoids, that would break me.
