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

Same as most in terms of debt and helping others.

A house in Morro Bay and one in Tahoe.

A personal chef.

Travel.

Spa time.

Clothes tailored to fit ME. Lots of cashmere and silk.

after Bob finishes the house

I would adopt two kids and hire the sweetest nanny I could find.

We could do people with disabilities horse therapy , have a free-
range petting zoo and camp for poor kids that have never been
in the country before. Find or create jobs for the under or unemployed parents of the kids.

Free fish fries and crawdad boils in the front yard.
Shuttle bus to get them there.
Out buildings with showers and washing machines
Complimentary robes and slippers while they are waiting
for new or at least clean clothes.
I could go on and on

OOo. I totally forgot that one! I'd just hire a personal taylor/seemstress. and fund her experimental designs or whatever.

I think everyone should go into business for themselves, I think. and would love to support as many people as possible to do that.

Bosses SUCK!

Glad I stopped having them last march. Screw you past bosses!*


*except Jasson my Jamaican boss who rocked. All bosses should have a Jamaican sense of time keeping. And able to piss take to that degree...eg once when I screwed up and was whineing at her she said "I didn't make you stupid, go take it up with god" which made me burst out laughing and shut up and deal with it. (she never would have said this to anyone else professionally. insulting the intelligence of your staff and mentioning talking to god would have gotten her fired. But she knew how to deal with me [insult barb till she laughs and smartens up]).

I would donate a lot of money (church, Red Cross etc), take care of family, travel....but my dream would be a place where people could come in, have a hot meal, not be preached to...maybe walk out with some warm clothes and some shoes...a food pantry too.

Provide start-up funding and partially sustain along with grants or government funding if possible (and then let someone else manage), a chain of fitness centers in low-income neighborhoods of all five boroughs of NYC. Members would have to income qualify, and a percentage of the employees would have to be either getting off public assistance, have a disability, or be struggling with employment. There would be wellness education, as well as tuition support for those returning to school. And it would have all the cool stuff any fitness center has—stationary- and free-weight areas, aerobic machines, excercise classes, a juice and health snack bar, and childcare facility.

Give a big chunk of money to Planned Parenthood.

Buy an apartment in the East Village and get a dog. Upgrade my car to something heavier and safer. Buy a house in woods upstate—Columbia county.

Set up trust funds for my nieces and nephews.

Hire a financial advisor and invest.

Spend winters in warm places.

Otherwise do all the stuff I do now; go to readings, have dinner with friends. Probably pick up the check more often.

Gotta be careful who you trust and hire when lottery winnings happen..

Lottery winner murder trial

They say you gain friends and lose friends as a result of the winnings. I told Zimmeh I would not gain friends and I would probably lose friends heh

First pay debt and invest in real estate. A mountain home in CO, a beach home in FL, a penthouse, and another beach home in Mexico. Renting them out when not in use. Other real estate? A restaurant perhaps, hotel...

Help our families and invest in ours and the kids futures.

Buy things we wanted, see the world.

Party for our friends and family.

Assist those in need and less fortunate.
