    Plane ticket...ETA a personal chef. :laugh:
  • I can't choose one. This is assuming it's big time lottery where I never HAVE to work.

    1. Invest a company or something and property.
    2. Find my dream property. Country, but not middle of nowhere. Maybe Colorado,Nevada, or cali? (I love lake Tahoe) something old but timeless. Small but luxurious. MUST have a place for horses. :)
    3. invest time/money into possible careers that I enjoy regardless of paycheck. Maybe start a business. Restaurant? I have ideas.lol
    4. Give something to every important person in my life.
    5. Dedicate time and money to a special charity/rescue I believe in. Hsus. Habitat for horses. Disease research.
    6. Hire a fleet of personal trainers and nutritionists. Lol
    7.TRAVEL EVERYWHERE!
    8. Spend time on my horse/equestrian sport.

    As you can see I've been thinking about this... Lol

    It's simple, if you won the lottery tomorrow, what would be your first purchase?

    First thing would be to look at finances to make sure my boys college expenses would be covered and that the money would last for a few generations. But yeah, I would retire and just play tennis for a living.

    Nothing extravagant.

    I would disappear.

    Me too!
  • I got told off for the post I made in a similar topic a while back because I used the wrong term. Hopefully this won't get me a warning...

    The first thing I'd do would be to hire a load of little people and dress them in chain mail. Then we would march through my city center, with me atop a grand stallion, and all the little people either on little ponies, or carrying big broadswords. And I'd have some playing tunes like minstrels. Whilst others in front of me blowing trumpets to let everyone know I was on my way.

    Yeah, that's what I'd do.

    What have you been smoking? LOL

    you dont need to win a huge lottery to not work.

    even if you earn 100k per year, 20 years of work is 2mil. with two mill you can set up a passive income that will keep going indefinitely.

    oh yeah, in australia, when you win the lottery, its tax free.

    Fly to wherever you are and take you out on the town. (Going on the limited information I have.) Then buy a house in Florida, invest, give.

    Depends on how big the jackpot was.

    Buy my first car probably...then book a holiday to the states and fulfill my dream of going to New York to see a show on Broadway.

    Then buy my first flat:smile:

    Hmm...I'd give 20% to charities, churches, and just people and organizations who are less fortunate in God's name, I'd pay off my boyfriend's college debts, buy my mom a car and a house, give my brother a huge chunk of it, give some to my friends, family, and people who've shown me kindness. I'd put some towards traveling the world :D I'd also buy a nice house...doesn't have to be a mansion, but I want it to have at least five bedrooms in case people have to live with me for whatever reason. I'd also buy a car and save some.... And...quit my job! xD It would reduce some much stress to not have to work full time while taking on 18 credit hours at school. :P

    You get a lap dance, you get a lap dance, you give me a lap dance. Everyone gets a lap dance!

    But seriously, give to charities, take care of my nearest and dearest, have fun with some of it and, most importantly, save and invest!
