If you won the lottery, what would you do???
Options
Would you quit your job, keep working, buy a bunch of new cars or houses, Go to Disney World?
For me I would definitley quit my job, I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom. I would give a lot to our church and make other donations. Build a new house, take a vacation with the family and a honeymoon that my husband and I never got.
What about you?

I would quit my job to become a volunteer for the charity I am passionate about - HDSA. With the money, I would finally buy a house, a better car, get out of debt, etc.0

Keep my job - I love my job and the people here. Plus, I would be BORED!!!
Pay off my mom's and my mother-in-law's bills/houses.
Pay off our house and buy my mother-in-law's house here in NC (she bought a house in Florida and plans to move to it next year). Give our house to my 2 kids. (they are in college)
Hmmmm...and invest the rest. That's pretty much it.
Oh, and go on a cruise. I have always wanted to do that.0 -
Go on vacation
Buy new cars
Maybe buy a house
Buy some new clothes
Put the rest in the bank!0 -

1. Hire lawyer and financial advisor before ANYTHING
2. Offer ex enough money and a house to find work in NJ so I'm not stuck here
3. Cruise for all my family and friends
4. Pay off debts of my parents, brother, and ex(cause i'm sweet)
5.Purchase and furnish nice house
6. Excellent private school for kids, put away money for their college and their cousins(ex hubbys side) college
7. Wedding where Billy Joel performs
if I have enough after that, I won't go back to work0 -
I would pay off our debt (house, car) and likely buy some new clothes. I would buy my parents each a house or trailer or whatever they wanted, and set aside a bit for my little brother when he becomes old enough to understand the idea of budgeting.
I would take a month or two off of work and buy a puppy, train him up good. I would finish all my housework that I wanted to get doen for what feels like forever (build a garden, a fire pit, clear up the front yard, etc.)
I would not squander the money on things like cars and drugs and gambling. I'd likely save up a good bit and not touch it. Heck, maybe I would quit my job and just continue in college job-free. That would be lovely!
I have dreams of being a housewife... but I'm not even a wife. So until then, I will continue my education0 -
It would depend on how much I won. A lottery of a few million I would not quit my job. A million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to these days. If it was a huge amount (i.e. over 100 million) then I would probably turn in my 2 weeks notice at my job (I can't just quit and burn bridges like that) but I don't think I would ever stop actually working. I would do more volunteer work. I would also do things for me like travel, get out of debt (blasted student loans!), and build my dream house. I would also give money to my family and pay off my best friend's debts as well. I would love, love, love to be able to walk into her house and say come with me and then drive to the bank and write a check to pay off her house and help her and her family get back on their feet after they lost everything to a house fire a few years ago.0

I have discussed this many times with family and friends. I would pay off our house, make any imrpovements that we wanted and then majority of it would go to family. I would also invest in playgrounds, sports activities, programs for kids in my city. I would still continue to work. If I didn't work, I would spend my time volunteering with kids in the community and schools0

I would definitley quit my job, to be a stay at home mum, build a new house, take a holiday with the family and have a second honeymoon with my one in a million husband.0

I would also like to make donations to the kids schools, being an active member of their schools community makes me realise how little they actually have to work with.0

Easy Question,
1. Pay off mortgages(mine, parents)
2. Take vaccation until things calm down
3. Buy wife new car
4. Quit Job and do something part-time & worth while for less money or for free (depending upon lottery amount)
5. Get a dog
6. Buy an iPad0 -
depends on how much the lottery was....one million dollars really isn't that much.0
-
Buy a few nice rental places that make over there own payment. Maybe a apartment complex, or more. Than with that money I would buy a four wheeler.0

I would definitely help pay off my family's debts (mortgage, student loan, etc) first and foremost. Then depending what I had left over, I would still work, I mean, I'm young, I'm only twenty... I would maybe splurge on one or two items of clothing, but I'd put the rest away and maybe invest, if my family and I decided that was the best thing to do or just save it. I don't need a lot of material objects in my life, so I don't think I'd be too bad at saving it. The only one I know I'd wanna spend a lot on is my wedding dress. But even that would be only like, $5,000. So yeah, not much to be honest. Just practical things for the most part hahahah0
