If you just won a HUGE jackpot, what would you do with the loot? Aside from the usual advice of taking it and running away, what would do with it? Spend, invest, pay debts, pay bookies, play some more, leave the country?

pay bookies?????? do you think everyone has a gambling problem? I dont even know a bookie or anyone who has ever dealt with one. it must be a city thing. I would pay off all debt and buy me a ranch in the middle of nowhere and build my dream house. then I would travel and keep going to Vegas

If it was a million dollar jackpot, I'd give a dollar to a million people. It's really the thought that counts.
(I can't take the credit for this gem. I got it from Steve West, the drummer for Danger Danger.)
Seriously, my first order of business would be to await the house call from my accountant. (Big trek. He lives next door.) Get all my finances covered, and will in place to keep certain lowlife members of my extended family from getting a dime of it. Then my first purchase would be a top of the line b*llsh*t detector to weed thru all of my new BFFs I've never met.

I would pay off my college debts, buy a new television, travel to Scotland, get a room in one of the really nice hotels in Vegas, visit Cedar Point in Ohio (went when I was a kid, but I was too small to go on most of the rides), and buy a house.

I would pay off our car and our other debts, buy a house in Ottawa (where we want to live eventually), put enough of a school fund away for each of my kids to send them to medical school (or at least that amount of money each), send my husband and myself to college, and then split the rest right down the middle for investments, and for giving away to my family/friends that need it and donating to charity - probably half and half.
Then, my husband and I would have good enough careers to make sure that we live relatively comfortably for the rest of our lives... so we would feel no regret having "given too much away" to others that truly need it (like we do right now).
Very interesting question, thanks for asking it!

Fun question! :)
I would buy a Skystudio apartment at the Hard Rock, invest some of the money in precious metals, and set an amount to use to try my hand at becoming a professional gambler via the sports book and poker!

Pay off my debt. Open up a trust to ensure each of my kids had money for college no matter what.
Invest most of the rest and just relax and enjoy my life.
And get to see my hubby more than 2 days a week. :)

I would spend some and invest the rest. Even big amounts of money get spent quickly, so I'd rather make sure there is plenty, plus interest, left.

all of the above except leave the country. Though I would travel more. And I don't have any bookies.
