wow what a great dream

I would buy my family houses.

I would build an underground small domain in the mountains

I would build and staff a large complex for foster kids - somewhat self sustaining - gardens, solar, education, classes and projects to continue funding

I would convert my 30 acres into a rescue for dogs and cats with a nice dog park w/cabins to continue funding the care of rescued animals. It would additional offer veterinary care - free neutering, shots, etc for people that cant afford it.

Wow so much money..well lets see.I would call my cousin ( she is a financial advisor) and set me up right money wise..I would pay off my sons home and gracer him with a bundle so he would neverneed to worry a bit about $$ ever.
I wold buy a home on the coast on the beach,one in a nice valley to put the wild horses in a safe place for ever.I would hive there a lot of the time too.
I would for shure have a home/school/job educational center for kids gay straight or other wise who needed help or a home to stay in so they wil have the resorses to get a good start in life.
Donate some to charityies.Set up a foundation for battered women $ children with medical help/job schooling or placement
Set up no kill shelters every where I can with vets and good help on staff.
Thats a start anyway.

when i build my dream house, the land around it will be filled with fruit trees & vines & whatever else fruit grows on!

To be included:

-muscadine vines

-fig trees

-cherry trees

-pomegranate....trees? what do they grow on?

-plum trees

and lots more!!

:byebye:

And!!
 

i'll get electrolysis to remove body hair so i never have to shave again! :cheesy:

all the obvious aside--house,debts,kids trustfunds,couple nice houses-invest a bit too i'd...

1. donate to No kill shelters--build more!
2. build prisons especially designed to house ppl who are cruel to animals and children
3.donate a chunk to diabetes research so maybe someday ppl with it can live better and without fear
4.donate a huge chunk to abused and neglected children and the elderly


5. and just for kicks and giggles i'd design a lightweight suit built to protect ppl such as Rav who cant seem to ride trikes very well :)

You're so sweet :twitch:

Disappear.

pppfffftttt!!!
 

I would speak to the right people and the best people money can buy...such as a Lawyer, Accountant, Financial Planner, and Real Estate Agent.

Then, I would hire a personal trainer and chef.

Donate to charity, start a charity.

The rest I would think very carefully about.

First, I'd wait before I claim the prize and decide what to do to have the check be tax-advantaged, etc.
Second, I'd claim the prize anonymously.
Third, I'd invest in real estate properties.
Fourth, I'd buy myself a little something as a treat.

I would not post nor boast!

ks-

If I won the lottery (for real, lol), I'd pay off my six-figure higher education debt (guess what's most important to me, next presidential 20/20 election) *FIRST*.

Then, I'd create a non-profit medical center to serve the needs for those who need medical help or need medical supplies and can't afford either to see a doctor or buy medicine. AND, said medical center would have to have accessible body centered care treatment teams for diabetics and access to insulin for zero cost or some small donation along in-kind type trade for services.

That's just a start for now.

But, I'd like to also put some of the lottery winnings to good use by creating a food network of some sort to help feed anybody who needs access to clean food.

After that,...or even before,.... create a national campaign to bring about the adoption of law to regard water as a human right, deserving of full protection, so no one will die of thirst.

Last but not least, I know- I know, lol, it's dream of sorts, this 'winning the lottery', but I'd take a nice long vacation, go on a walk-about, providing my legs hold up, and visit places around the northern continent of our country. Maybe go up to Canada, visit Montana, visit rural areas, go coast to coast, but mostly visit northern territories I've never seen before (as long as it is possible to visit such places). Maybe....Take a few pictures. Eat some local foods. Purchase arts and crafts from local artists. Invest in another's happiness, and my own, somehow.

OK, so I have thought about this before....
 

I visualize spending my lottery winnings like this:

Real Estate purchases in interesting cities that can be used as Airbnb's when I'm not there. Apartments with great architecture in lovely centralized neighborhoods. Places like: Paris, or France, Italian Riviera, Buenos Aries, San Francisco, Hawaii. I would pay people well to run them, and spoil my guests. I would advertise internationally and show up without notice. I would also create family events and memories. Come to Paris for Christmas my loves, here are the tickets. Don't be late!!! I would create interesting events and parties.

Buy land with good water rights. Open a retreat center and host events that benefit causes that my heart believes in.

Set my kids up with housing and businesses. Beautiful gift, use it well or loose it. There are no second chances for poor decisions.

Hold close and paint life interesting for those I love, the ones that love me well and honestly.

Help animals somehow.....

I'd hire a chauffeur. I hate parallel parking.
