give 10% to God, pay off my debt, give my family a little cash, buy a new house and new car, invest half, and personally travel to third world countries and provide food, water and medicine.

I would take the lump sum, which is usually significantly less then the long term payment amount, and invest about 25% in high risk stocks. Then take 50% and invest in low risk mutual funds that have various time requirements. THen take the remaining 25% and buy a little something for my loved ones, then put the rest in the bank to live off of while I finish college, and grad school. Most of all I would stop worrying about loans and debt, choose a major based solely on my love for it, and not tell ANYONE that I won the lottery.

Depends on how much I win, if less than $20 then I'd probably buy more tickets, between 20-500, I still use 20 of them to buy more tickets, then the rest I'd probably take my sweetheart to a nice dinner, and buy some gadgets, anything above 100K I'd pay off my debts. the rest goes for investments and fun.

I would buy a few toys build a modest custom house and set up a foundation to help abandoned and neglected men, women and children.

I would tithe to the church, help out a lot of people, pay off all my debts, travel abroad with the whole family, and take the overflow dogs from your ranch, if there were too many.

That sounds like such a nice thing to do, I too would have some sort of sheltering for animals, that has always been one of my dreams.
If I won the lotto, I would buy all of my closest friends & family nice houses & a car. Than I would buy myself a nice house & nice car, and have a really great shelter for animals built right next to my home.
tis nice to dream.

First thing I would do is pay off all my bills then put some of the money into a saving account then take a nice long vacation to Africa and some other islands.

Well, depending on how much the jackpot was...
I'd buy my grandparents a new house
I'd buy a house
I'd put away a lot of money for our child's college
Pay off all of our bills
Put the rest in savings and build interest

I would write a will first.
I would give money to my family next.
I would buy real estate, and invest the rest.
I would then give money to my alma mater and set up scholarships.
I would give to charity, the Darfur fund and international disaster funds.
I would probably get a new wardrobe after all that. ;-)
And maybe Lasik. Damn these specs!

If we won enough, we'd sell off our business & retire.
Maybe if we got bored, we'd start another business. If there's enough seed money left, maybe an independant cinema with good restaurant food. (All selected to be quiet to eat, of course.)
We never play, though, (we have good math skills,) so it's a moot point.
