What would you do if you won the lottery?

Amulette · 07-09-2019, 12:43 AM

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.

What would I do with a 50 million lottery win?

Would quit working but be on call as a consultant. Would consult over the phone and Skype.

Would contact a financial advisor (my employer makes one available to employees) to give me some needed advice.

Would call David Bromstad from My Lottery Dream Home to help me find homes on both coasts.

Would buy homes and set up trusts for my family.

Would invest in real estate Michigan, Mississippi, Louisiana, NY, CA.

Would give money to my favorite charities plus some.

Would hit the international jazz festivals starting with Montreux (then Havana, CapeTown, Panama, Kraków, Monterey, Newport, Lisbon).

Would visit all the countries my DNA can be traced to.

I'd have fun blowin' some cash with plenty left over.

I went back to the beginning, but I never answered this question...

Give to our family
Buy land in a remote area and build a compound for family to live on.
Prep for the apocalypse
Fund a restaurant/food bank in a poor area that would provide jobs and training.

I would:

Set up trust for land to build an LGBTQ senior housing on that would be self sustaining!

Build a HUGE animal refuge sanctuary with GREAST help....food...water....fun places to play...great kennels for each to have spacious accomodations

Buy a nice oceanfront place to live on East Coast

Travel to see other parts of the world!

Donate to Womens' Shelters locally

Fire tRUMP!...

Take care of my CHOSEN family!

I'd pay off my house, my parent's house and my sister-in-law's house. I'd take care of most, but not all, of my daughter's student loans and set up an emergency fund for her.

I'd kick a ton in to the building we are going to be building from scratch at work that will double our housing possibilities, including more housing for homeless adults with children and I would add in an animal shelter on site so that people don't have to surrender their pets due to homelessness. And we used to have a pool but it needed repairs that we couldn't afford. I'd put in a new pool because that pool rocked. Was such a treat when we could go for a swim before or after work and it was so good for the residents.

And I'd love a no-frills trip to Ireland.

RebelDyke · 07-09-2019, 04:20 PM
