There has been ALOT of talk of the Mega Millions and how high it is (which is crazy). I am going to go buy my tickets tonight. BUT, if you won, what would you do with all that money (just for fun)??

I will go first: I am going to build my dream house on ALOT of land, hire a maid to clean it, a gourmet chef to cook for me - so I can keep my healthy lifestyle and a personal trainer to whip me into shape. I will also put away money for my kids' college (I have 2 babies), and of course I will go buy my dream car (Eclipse - unless I find something better). I will definitely give money to my family/friends who have supported me throughout the rough times and give money to the church. Also, pay back the credit cards that I bankruptced.

Ok...your turn????

    I can only imagine, but I would pay off my student loans and car. I would buy a new house, save ALOT for retirement even though I would be tempted to quit my job or ever drop my hours..lol..Of course I will take my family and few friends then move because the moochers would be out in full force.

    Vacation all over Europe. Buy a Black Range Rover. Get a pair of Christian Louboutins. Give some to our families and best friends. Buy a new house and put in all of the handicap accessible stuff my son will need. Set up college for the kids.

    Buy a house (or three) with amazing gyms in each, hire Bob (from biggest loser) to come and whip me into shape. Travel the world showing off my fab new body.

    I am so easy breezy. I would buy a 3 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood in the city, go on more vacations, and finally get my sleeve tattoo. Everything else really doesn't appeal to me. I am totally the type to still go to Forever 21 and buy $10 jeans, walk places because I don't like driving and hang out at home with Matty with a bottle of wine. Come to think of it, I would probably end up spending less money than I do now because aside from food my big expense is work clothes. LOL! Eh, maybe I'll just use that extra cash to take more cooking classes.

    Put it in the bank and live off the interest... and live VERY well off the interest. $460M cash payout, $230M after taxes give or take, and put that in a measly 1% interest bearing account is 2.3M a year. That would be more than enough to live in an amazing house, drive an amazing car and do just about anything you want with.... at least by my standards. It would be quite fun.

    Seriously though, I'd buy a huge yacht and disappear with my closest friends. No one would ever see me again. Mediterranean to the gulf to Aussieland.... year round.. Cya!

    I would buy a house that would be safe for my middle child to live in so I could bring her home with me and I would get the best care staff for her in my home. I would pay off all debt. I would put a few million away for each of my children. I would give a lot of it to family members.

    I would also quit work and become a lactation consultant since that is my dream. And I would be able to afford the best medical team to help my husband.

    Hmm maybe I should go buy a ticket! :happy:

    I'd pay off my student loans, pay off my parents' house, buy my partner's mom and step-dad a house, pay off all of mine and my partner's debt and buy us a house. I could do this all with about 250k -- that's not too much to ask for, right? HAHA

    I'd put the rest in a bank, get my dream job, no matter how much or little it would pay me (cuz at that point i wouldn't be doing it for the money), and live happily for the rest of my life. :)

    I would take the entire summer and travel...A LOT! Then when finished with that I'd start on my dream home; hire a couple of maids and a cook along with a personal trainer. Put away money for my kids, give a good chunk to my parents because they are the best in the world and have seen me through so many hard times. I would then help out a very good friend of mine that has been down on her luck for a few years now. I would donate to so many charities. Now what to do with the remaing 500 million? LOL

    Good luck to everyone that plays!

    I would train in a replacement for myself at work, quit my job, buy a new camera because mine is having some problems, a few new lenses, and buy studio space. I'd also make sure the people who matter to me are well cared for and have everything they need.

    I would buy about 100 acres sprawling across West Texas, and build a HUGE place to resuce animals and give them proper care. Dogs, cats, pigs, horses, etc. Would have 24 hour care for them.

    New car, pay sisters' college, parents bills, etc.

    Donate to quite a few charities.
