If you won the lottery what is the first thing you would do?
I would pay off all my family and friends bills. Then I'd get out of the city and buy some land build a nice cabin, have a fully stocked fishing pond. And just enjoy the peace and quiet


Hmm I would invest a portion of it for the kids and myself. Buy a house a car give to charities ,hospitals, mental health programs and schools . Programs to help the homeless and small business in the community.

Since I have learned when you give people money it generally embarrasses them and they resent it I don't think I would do the whole bonanza for friends and family again.

What I think I would try to figure out a way that people could earn equity in attaining something they need and want.

Some kind of education program where students who do actually try to better themselves could earn credits for good grades. Have co-op child care. Dorm housing that is education not party focused.

Accessible Affordable housing is a big barrier for many people, a exploding crisis for many ageing people, I think I would probably buy a lot of property and try to set it up where people could have some private space but communal space/transportation for the things they need.

I would spend some money to get better advertising for Mingle and tweak the program so that there were less scammers and more profiles that would actually help people meet the people they seek. Sponsor some upscale annual meet and greets.




agreed

so i need not interact more with society than i must -groceries, cleaners, shopping in general, gas station... City life in general is very exhausting. always noisy too. Sucks.

I just wanna do my Job and Chill the remainder of the time, be left alone in the garden, with the Dog and the GF.

and when you have a house far out in the bush, you better make sure i's not made of paper. When a bad guy comes around because he heard you got money from the lottery, the next cop might take an hour to get there and find nothing but your Corpse.

And Guns are fun.

If I won the lottery, I would pay off all my bills, buy a house for my Son and a brand new car. Repay the kindess of a very special man. Then I think I would travel. I have always wanted to travel the world.

I'd be like this guy ^^



Castle of cagliostro?! Wow, it's been ages since I've seen this anime! I love Lupin the 3rd!

But, yeah, I'd give it to the needy as well.
Maybe put some of it into scientific research, education, schools, invest in cool projects, pay off my family's debts, then of course there are the charities.
Meanwhile, I'd jsut retire to a secluded medium-sized house somewhere in the hills of california on an acreage of private property and live out the rest of my days quietly with a faithful, supportive and sweet woman i can make a wife and mom someday.
Oh, and I'd fund my own studio to make various creative projects like music, movie, short films, life would be pretty cool.

Time for my serious side for a change...
The first thing I would do is thank God above for the blessing and pray that he shows me how to manage the resources he sent my way. Second pay tithes 20% of the net earnings. Then I'd pay my dad's house off and send him on an African and Australian safari. I'd cancel my ex-husband’s debt for back owed child support. I'd buy all my kid's houses and one car or truck that is reasonable. I'd also pay for them to attend school full time without having to work so they could concentrate on their studies and get finished quicker. Then I'd donate to all the missionaries that are supported by my church. I'd set aside a set amount to play on the stock market with but I'd also open lots of bank accounts and collect off the interest.

First, the obvious, I would purchase a new home, nothing special beyond on the water. Would purchase maybe an 18 foot aluminum boat with a 50hp motor, and of course, quit my job. Now here is where it gets weird.

I would create a company, buy maybe two additional houses that I would renovate at my leisure. You flip 2 houses a year and if you can't make at least $60,000.00, you're doing something wrong. I would do this every year to keep busy. The rest of my time would be spent writing and recording songs, something I have been doing for over 40 years now. I guess my studio would get an upgrade.

For R&R, I would go fishing, mountain biking, hiking, and get a couple of pets. Only extravagance would be either an Audi R8 Spider, a Nissan GTR, or a Porsche ???? Spider. I would also take my Infinity G37 in, up the HP to 700hp and have some fun with it.

Would I want to flaunt my money no. Only wish is that I stay true to myself, easy going, down to earth, anchored in reality. And yes, if it were a big purse, would donate to helping children, to cancer, which took my wife, and do whatever I can in my new community.

I'll share my money with my family, abandoned kids and old people. . . I always dreamed of helping to the best I can.
