    Ooooh I want an island too! lol
  • 1, lock my door
    2, pay off my house and sell it to a less fortunate person for 1.00
    3, pay off other bills
    4, pay off my daughters bills and send her butt to college with a new car
    5, buy me a mini cooper
    6, buy a new modest home in New England
    7, change my name so my family (not my kids) can not find me
    8, buy a female Italian Greyhound for my boy Italian Greyhound
    9, get my back tattoo
    10, tummy tuck
    11, new Coach bag...mine is dirty
    12, Jimmy Choo shoes
    13, buy a complete gym for my new home
    14, hire a full time nutritionist and chef
    15, hire a new trainer
    16, go to Disney
    17, go to Cabo and see Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo cantina
    18, hook my best friend up comfortably
    19, invest sensibly
    20, live comfortably and responsibly

    I know I have a boring life....but I believe that have the best things does not give you the best life. I of course would have to work. I would not buy an Island....just visit....

    and I have always said...the day I win the lottery...the first person who knocks on my door with their hand out will be that last person I help and I do not care who they are....my kids know this too and they have agreed they have faith mom will do right by them and they do not need to ask for anything!!!

    If I won 50 million in the lottery tomorrow it would be a major miracle because I don't play the lottery. :laugh: But if I did play the lottery and won, I'd give 10% to my church, give some to my kids and my sisters, buy a house.

    My brother won a million in the lotto about 4 years ago, and he's pretty much broke now. I'd like to think Karma plays a big part in good fortune, and he didn't turn out to be a very good person after he won.

    I agree with tab though, I'd help so many people who didn't ask me for anything, but those who asked would most likely get nothing. I have 10 (living) siblings, and I think it would be pretty sweet for all of us to be millionaires, so I'd definitely be giving each of them their own million.

    I'm pretty sure I'd claim the money anonymously if at all possible. I wouldn't want my name plastered everywhere as the proud new owner of 50 mil.
  • thats why I would continue to work, and my habits would not reflect such millions. I hate attention....I would open christmas gifts in the crapper if I could.....I do not like attention. Also why I would change my name.....and move to New England cuz my money hungry family would not go there it is too cold....

    haha.......:laugh:

    I want to be mysterious but comfortable:glasses:

    I would help my friend Carla, she has one daughter with type 1 diabetes and the other daughter has downes syndrome.....I would help her and donate to her church since I do not attend one (long story). I would also pay for Carlas lapband or gastric bypass...whichever she wanted. She is not even the best friend I would set up....she is a good person who needs a break in life.

    If I won the 50 million lottery, first I would give my job two weeks notice and would then hire someone to take my place for those two weeks so I wouldn't have to be there.

    Invest half in a high-yield savings account.
    Buy my dad, stepmom and little bro a house.
    Get my mom into therapy and buy her and my little sister a house. Probably would also get my mom a car.
    Buy myself a small house (less cleaning :bigsmile: ).
    Install a home gym.
    Rescue a couple cats and a couple dogs from the humane society.
    Travel to Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and a more remote tropical location (never been on a cruise so I don't know anything besides Bermuda and Aruba).
    Go to Disneyland and Disneyworld.
    Learn Muay Thai. Learn to ride a horse. Buy a horse.
    Probably buy some new clothes because I haven't done that for at least 6 mos.
    Finish up my PhD and become a professor (or I'll get bored!)
    Learn Italian, brush up on German.
    Buy groceries more often...and not just chicken breast and rice and spinach all the time!! :sick: :laugh:

    I would Buy land and build a modest home with my builder husband. I would travel the world with my daughter. Dh is afraid to fly. I would open an animal rescue . My daughter and I would become missionaries and spred the love and wealth to people who realy need it. I would travel to schools across our nation promoting literacy with cool books . I would give our church a big chunk,. I would adopt a child or 2. I would invest for my children. I have always thought It would be great to win a huge chunk of money so I could help others in a bigger way than I do now. Cindy :heart:
  • I'd take you all out for dinner, hire a trainer and make us all do a huge workout afterwards to work off the cals!!! :laugh:

    Rethinking, after I bought the island, I'd put 5 million aside to fund a genetics research lab (on the island), so they could turn me into a super hero (or super villain, not sure which one would be cooler yet). You guys aren't thinking big enough, it's a dream fellas, I know sensible and comfortable is ok, but lets get a little crazy here!

    Ok, I'll up mine a little. My house would be 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms, have a gym with plenty of exercise equipment, a swimming pool, a library, a sewing room and a sunroom. Then I'd have a chef to cook for me, a maid to clean my house, a groundskeeper to keep my yard looking nice. The yard would be a BIG yard with lots of flowers, fruit trees and different types of berries. It would also have a running trail that goes through a rainforest type setting. (Note to self: Better hire a couple more grounds keepers.) :bigsmile: How's that? :bigsmile:

    it's a start.

    I'm thinking, what, no secret state of the art lab? No crazy exotic salt water lake with dolphins in it and coral? No hydroponics garden?

    I'd do some pretty weird SH.. stuff (family show), just cuz I could, and it would be fun, and heck, I could afford it. Maybe I'd pull a brewsters millions, and run a campaign for none of the above where I just exposed all of the sleazy things the government has done (I live in MA, it's pretty scummy here, certain families that shall remain nameless are STILL neck deep in graft, cover ups, and bribes) all my fathers buddies were cops and government employees, the stories they tell...... just makes my stomach turn sometimes. Ohhh, the more I think about that last idea, the better I like it.

    Alrighty, my house would be...a castle in a remote part of London. The moat would be well stocked with piranhas (much harder to spot than alligators and crocs). My main goal in life would be to take down my biggest nemesis, SHBoss1673- the greatest super villain mankind has ever seen, and to end his reign of terror on planet earth. After his capture, he would be taken to MY secret lab, and he would be injected 24 times/ day with the DNA of a soft, fluffy, white bunny while being forced to watch Road Runner reruns, so he would learn, once and for all, that evil never prevails.

    I may also force-feed him bonbons, just for my own pleasure.

    Now you're talkin. Of course you're plan would ultimately fail, as my super villain status has allowed me to procure (kidnap) a super genius genetics scientist and his daugter (I use his daughter as his "incentive") to clone my body and link my mind via sub-sonic radio transmitter, basically making a backup copy of me so in-case anything happens to my existing body I just wake up in the lab. And of course I have a secret suicide pouch implanted under my skin (somewhere hidden) that I can release at any time. So you, are foiled again.

    Oh, and my plan... replace all the world's sit-coms with reruns of the MacNeil/Lehrer report, and all the worlds MP3's with copies of Take On Me by Ah Ha and Stars are blind by Paris Hilton

    There's torture, then there's EvilBanks torture!

    Muhuhuhuhahahahahaaaaa! :devil:
