    Invest the great majority of it, but then pay off all the debt for each of my family members, buy both my dad & his wife and my mother-in-law RVs, and spend an absurd amount of money on the most deluxe family reunion.. flying everyone out, 5 star resort, etc.

    Oh, and take like 4 months to go backpacking all through Europe with the hubs.

    I'd also buy a green dress (but not a real green dress, that's cruel!).

    Don't forget the monkey! I've always wanted a monkey!!

    1. Hire a personal trainer so I can kick the rest of this weight Hollywood style ;-)
    2. Build my daughter's school a playground.
    3. Donate to the rec center to redo the pool(it's 40 yrs old)
    4. Finish my house so I can live in it while....
    5. Buy land and build my dream house.
    6. Hire a nanny/nurse/therapist to help with my autistic son!

    Then set up education accts for the kids, donate a bunch more, invest alot and my husband would probably buy some toys :-)

    I would get a lawyer and call my financial advisor. I would put money into trust funds for my kids & younger sister. Pay off my house and rent it out. Purchase a house. No more than 2,000 sq feet. That is what I have now...can't handle much more. It will be in the same city but in a different area where no one knows me. Pay off my mother's house. Pay off my car. Buy hubby his truck. Give my job the "middle finger". Give my sister n laws, brother n law and mother n law a little change. Hook up our grammys also. And then bank the rest and live comfortably. The end.

    1. I would give at least a million to everyone I love, including some of my favorite Christian songwriters.
    2. I would never clean house again!
    3. I would look into starting a fun business that would employ lots of people, something that would benefit the community (or the country or the world??)
    4. I would travel.
    5. I would try really hard never to forget that having money doesn't make you better than anyone else!

    I'd do all that stuff, too. But, I'd also go to the store, and suprise people by buying their stuff for them. The mom at the grocery store with the 2 little babies, cart full. Yup, just pay for her stuff! Go to the gas station and pay for everyone. Same at a restaurant. And leave a monsterous tip :-D Oh, it'd be SO much fun!!

    I think I would have to hire the BNL to serenade me with this at one point. XD

    A man rushes into his house and yells, "Honey, pack your bags!! I just won the lottery!"

    The wife says, "Omigosh! That's great! What should I pack? Warm clothes? Summertime clothes? We are we going?"

    The man answers, "I don't care where you go. Pack, and get the f*** out!!!"

    Hahahahahahaa!!! Love this!

    My partner and i discuss this all the time :) We'd pay off the house and hire ppl to finish the renovation on it. Buy a nice little townhouse or apartment in our favourite major city. Pay off mortgages for our families and ensure they're set up then invest as wisely as possible to ensure we're free to travel the world for the rest of our lives making a difference wherever we go! Just think of all the random ppl you could help if you had the money and time to devote to it!

    I just bought my first lottery ticket too! I thought that a pound wouldn't go far to scraping together this month's rent, whereas winning the lottery would! It's a bit boring, but I would use it to get through uni right now. Student loans don't even cover accommodation and my job doesn't pay well :S

    Oh and when I win I will pay off court fees and buy myself a new car and help my family any way possible and then help others. :)

    Quit college in this state, get married, restart college in the state where my fiance currently lives, get my degree and help HIM pay for school. If there's any left, I think I'd lock it up and let it build somewhere.

    Lotteries are a tax for people bad at math....

    and having said that, I do buy a ticket once in a blue moon.

    First, I'd stop in at my buddy's Chevy dealership and order 7 new Corvette ZR-1's, all different colours for each day of the week.

    Then, I'd hit the bank and pay off my mortgage.

    I wouldn't quit my job. I just would stop showing up. Let them fire me.

    If it was the big one, and I had gobs of cash left, I'd set up a charity trust and run that for the rest of my life, while enjoying life without the worry of bills - or the price of gas!
