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

Guy · 12-27-2010, 12:18 PM

First, I would donate a portion to a few local charities, then a lil something something for my friends and family. I would sell my house and buy one on the intercoatal waterway, complete with dock and boat, and last but not least, spoil my girl with everything she wants, needs, desires and deserves.

see ya later, off to buy a ticket.. haha

I would definitely cash it and disappear. I wouldn't want a bunch of strangers calling and writing for money. Me and Rufusboi would hit the road. I would love to just travel and live in hotels for a while or rent a place for a few weeks here and there. A few weeks in Greece, a couple of months in Italy

I would definitely quit my job. The Cunard Line has a round the world cruise. I've never been on a cruise and not sure if I would like it, but I think I could handle sailing around the world for 6 months in a luxury suite

You know, with a lottery win I'm going to book the biggest one they have. Oh and I would pay off my student loan and mortgage and hire someone to take care of the cats while we were on the road.

right off the bat I would give 5 million to the ravished upper east coast and help rebuild after Sandy.

Make sure mom had everything she needed,,no debt and could travel and see everything she has ever wanted to see and do everything she has ever wanted to do and then some. Set up trust fund s for my niece and nephews, buy a nice house with a pool and wood burning fireplace..buy a new mustang convertible and a new truck,, donate to Generosity Water, Ronald McDonald House and the Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation

I got my tickets!

Hire an accountant and a lawyer, no doubt.
Take off somewhere quiet and anonymous so we can decide our next steps.

It would definitely include:
Early retirement.
Family would be well taken care of.
Donations to several varied organizations.
A little random philanthropy goes a long way.
After we buy our new (modest, but kick ass) house, new (practical, but bad ass) cars, yadda yadda .... do some traveling.

I sense Europe in the near future and I'd also like to see the rest of the USA.

Then, Mare and I would have to decide what business venture to start.
