if you could win the lotto how would you spend it?

Question

details are the way to a best answer

Answer 1

Of course I'd buy a home for my family-comfortable and modest-not a mansion. Help out my parents and other family members with their homes. I would set aside money for my kids' education and future. Then I would get the best health insurance for my family since we can't even afford any now because our country's system is so morally bankrupt. (Don't even get me started on the healthcare issues we have). I would try to stay as close to the same person that I am now and focus on the important things in life...family, and helping people-not greed. So many people let it all go to their heads and before you know it their money is gone and their lives are worse off then before they had the money.

Answer 2

If I were to win the lotto (when I go back for visits):
* I would put money away for my kids college and for when their older
*I would make sure all my parents and my husbands parents bills were taken care of and they don't have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives
*I would donate to a charitable orginazation
*I would put the rest in investment savings to save for the future.

My parents won the Colorado State lotto back on 30 January 1993 when I was 13 (I'm all grown up, married, have my own family and live out of country now).

(only my dad's name appears on the sheet - & if you want to know who he is, look at my 360 page and see where I grew up)

They won 5 million, but there were two other winners so each wound up only getting $1,783,674.00. Back then they only had annuity (to be paid out over 25 years) so they're still getting their yearly checks. My mom quit her job after that.

My parents are very religious and spent a good portion of the money that they first got to help build a Catholic orphanage in India (one of our close family friends is a Catholic priest from India).

Answer 3

I would buy the Mustang Shelby GT500 (Black with white stripes) custom engine and all custom made Interior and Exterior Body-kit. I Would get a 3 bed roomed house in the Milton area of Canada. I Would get some new threads and go to Acting Academy, And make sure my family are all sorted and have some money.

Well if ur asking this i bet u won the lotto, anyway heres my advice DONT SPEND THE MONEY IN ONE PLACE. Get yourself a new car, add an addition on your home, go on a long relaxing vacation, or just get yourself some nice things. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

The best detail I can give is, I would spin a globe and where ever my finger stopped it than thats where I would go for a month. I'd do all the touristy stuff, relax, kick back and than start the process all over.

Answer 6

I would pay off my morgage and existing bills, first and for most secondly I would put back a major chunck of the money and then if money pervailed without getting getting into the chunck of money I set back i would build a little larger home, and sell the one that I just paid off....

Answer 7

I would start a cool investment program for my kids to go to college. Then I would help with the brother and sisters of mine to get them squared away for awhile.
Then I would give a bunch of money to my church to help with its school and help provide scholarships for kids that couldnt' afford to go there.
Then I would have a huge round the world trip for my family.
