If you won the lottery what would you do?

Post Reply New Topic

Oblige the parents with new cars
Buy myself a house
Get an investment portfolio
Quit work and live off my investment income
Get all entrepreneur-like and buy a business to keep me occupied

I would stop worrying about money, debt, retierment, and just getting by.

It depends on how much I won.

My mother's won the lottery before...$30.

If I won, lets say, $1,000,000...I would...

- Buy a bigger house for my mother, step father, pets and I. It would have lots of land for the animals to roam.
- Travel to Africa and go on an animal safari. I know...cliche, but it's something i've always wanted to do.
- Donate $5000 to the local SPCA.

As for the rest...I don't know. I have to think about it.

First I would spend a few months frantically obsessing over what to do with it.
But most likely I would -
-Immediately put a good chunk of it into savings
-Distribute some of it to family..College funds, a house, mortgages, etc
-New wardrobe, and perhaps a couture gown or two
-Buy tons of new books, and lots of very old rare books.
-Buy hybrid car, small RV, and a motorcycle
-Buy some land in various places
-Buy cottages/cabins in: Maine, Ireland, China and Romania. And a Victorian house in New Orleans.
-Purchase a few old neat buildings (and fix them up enough for them to be liveable), like an old bordello and firehouse or something since I LOVE old buildings
-Have a few underground bomb shelters built in the aforementioned places
-Splurge on a bunch of survivalist gear and supplies
-Travel to a bunch of places, go backpacking in some, and donate money where I see fit
-Hire a few people, like a financial advisor and someone else
-Purchase a business, maybe.

i would use the money to pay for the operations and treatment my boyfriend alex needs to physically become my girlfriend lexi

Stock up on weapons, ammo, batteries, canned food, clothes and other necessities, and movie into a remote cabin deep in the forest, awaiting the day we'll all be conquered by aliens or superintelligent robots!! !


Or maybe I'd buy a small forested island, with a nice house on it. Buy a nice interior, probably vintage style with some asian inspiration. And I'd hire a private instructor for martial arts. Invest some money in some low risk places to have money for the future, and then lean back and try to become a good author. Probably give to charity every now and then.



oh, and a Harley Davidson Night Train!
