If You Won the Lottery What Would You Do With the $$$$$
 

If I won the lottery, I'd definitely hire that accountant as well as a lawyer. My inclination would be to pay off every debt I owe and then invest a large amount. I'd help out family members, and then fix up my own house. I know my lifestyle would change, but I can't really see quitting my job altogether--working is something I love and it grounds me. I'd probably work less hours so I could travel more, and spend more time with family. I don't think I'd be the person that spends it all and ends up broke.

I don't play regularly. Once in a while, someone gives me a scratch-off ticket, and sometimes, on a whim, we buy a Powerball ticket. Never won more than a few bucks on a scratch-off.

Id be gone so fast!!!!! Would so be payin my exs bills since she got fired for a broken leg!!!!! That would be me gettin my foot back in the door with her!!!! Takin care of her and our kids..i say our cuz they will always be mine as well as hers..even if i dont get to see them

If I won the lottery,I would...
Get an accountant first
Pay off my fue bills,then do the same for my son.
Give my son enough $$ he could do some of the things he has wanted to do,then bank the rest.He is like me on saveing bucks.
I'd buy me a kentucky horse van with liveing qarters,a really nice horse to show..then i'd hit the road.
At some point I would buy a huge horse farm.Not that I would need that much room..but you cant hardly ever go wrong owning land cuse the price keeps going up.
Buy stocks.
More later ..coffee is waiting.

If I won the lottery...
I would pretty much pay all the bills off and some friends that are important to me, as well.
It would be a toss up between buying an older hotel and renovating it. I would hire a bunch of people to help run it, which is important. My toss up would be if I would take in the homeless? Or I think I would prefer to take in the GBLT people that are in need of shelter and medical attention. I would want to help shelter them until they could get back onto their feet, offering schooling, medical attention, Job training, and of course the basics of food, clothing and attention.
Once I got that going, then I would perhaps take a little vacation, but then again, perhaps not, because I would be also attending to my tenants needs. So basically I would still be working. Tis what makes me happy anyway. The rest would be invested so I can keep my dream going.

I would get advice FIRST from accountants and lawyers before I cashed in the ticket, so I wouldnt make a mistake and lose any portion of the money I didnt have to, just because I didnt know better.

I would then go on a spending spree. I would buy new furniture, new carpeting for my house and fix up some of the little things in the house. Outside I would put up new fencing, and set up the garden of my dreams!

I would buy a navy blue or forest green truck, with matching horse trailer, and one really nice horse and board it where i didnt have to do the work..lol

I would give my daughter the wedding of her dreams and a honeymoon, and a house of her choosing.

i would pay off all my sister's debts. And mine of course.

I would donate to these charities: Cat Ladies Society, For the Dogs, Hog Heaven Rescue (for horses too!), Newfoundland Dog Rescue and Newf Mix Rescue and our local Pride Center

I would travel to Europe and Africa

I would subscribe to all the magazines I love but cant afford to buy anymore

I would take my entire family on a vacation

I would buy a couple more newfs

I would buy clothes, make up and perfumes..which I havent been able to buy in three years

I would the local catholic church that just closed down and turn it into a social service program for youth in my town, and establish a college scholarship program for children who complete the program

I would establish a retirement fund for my kid that would build over the years

I would go see the chincoteauge ponies

I would order the midieval garb I always wanted for my re-enactment group I belong to

I would decide not to take most of it with me..but leave enough behind for my daughter to have, when I die

I would donate a portion to LGBT charities that I hold dear here in the Houston area.

WT

Supposing it was some mad money amount so I wouldn't do my usual worry about being frugal and planning for the future, blah blah blah

Of course I would do the responsible stuff first, establish a trust for myself and my dearest ones so they wouldn't have to work and really couldn't touch the base capitol unless it was life or death. Pay off my student loans and become debt free. Once all the mundane stuff is over then. . . . .

I would quit my job and go to school full time to become a midwife/midwifery teacher.

I would buy a Gypsy Vanner horse or a draft pony and some fine quality tack, not flashy but the good long lasting comfortable for horse and rider kind.

I would build a smallish art nouveau inspired log home on beautiful property with a great barn with an apartment and a climate controlled indoor arena, where I would hold master classes and seminars from innovative and wise horse men and women.

I would get a 1952 T-bird (the little ones) aqua and cream and a good, clean, stock, older pick up truck, like from the 1970s.

Unless circumstances dictate otherwise I would wear, velvet, leather, silk, linen, soft wool and fine Egyptian cotton -simple, high quality clothes that will be comfortable and durable.

I would set up a scholarship fund to buy cute clothes for fat college kids.
Another to help with surgery, or buy binders and what have you for transmen and gender queers in need.

I would set up an endowment for the "Heifer Project", my home town's art museum and library to keep them open.

As an annex to my small house I would have one of those dreamy libraries, with floor to ceiling bookcases with ladders and a secret room and big comfortable chairs and library tables. In another small annex I would have a medium sized glass green house so I could grow orchids, ferns and other beauties as well as leaf mantises and butterflies.

These are my wealthy imaginings

In a nutshell ....
 

Hire an accountant, a lawyer and invest.
Set aside a nice nest egg and we'd "retire".
Make charitable donations.
I'd have our dream home built on some very expansive farmland.
Mare could shop to Her heart's content.
We'd vacation a lot.
Family and friends would probably have to be beaten off with a stick, but they would be taken well care of.
