We all dream of hitting the lottery for a few hundred million dollars so that we could just thumb our noses at the rest of the world and do whatever we want to do for the rest of our short and meaningless lives. But what do you think is the LEAST amount you could win that would make a noticeable, positive impact on your life?
For me, it is probably $10,000. Any less than that would not really help all THAT much, but with that amount I could do something like pay off my car, and then that monthly payment would be off my back. Something like that.
What do you think? How little would it take?

For me I'm happy when I just break even and win a free ticket. $5,000 I would be satisfied but not really that exctatic. Over $50,000 I would be very happy. Over 13 million is the best I could hope for.

$50,000. After taxes there would be enough to pay off my car and school loans and have a little bit left over for something a teeny bit fun. That would make me happy.

One million would bring in enough interest a year to keep me going (at 5% interest = $50,000 a year). We currently live well on $80,000 before taxes, so I think with no one having to go to work, $50,000 would be just about right.

Never played the lottery. Get a job that you can stand. The odds of being happy that way are much better.

It would take at least $150,000 - enough to retire all debt after taxes. But I have plans for up to $500 million.

Enough to pay off my student loans, CC debt and buy a reasonable house ($150K size house is decent for me). So, probably about $200K would be enough.

The interest accrued on my winnings needs to equal $200,000 a year, so $4,000,000 is enough.
