    Hmm, one of the first things I would do is get me a new vehicle, and buy me a house in a very nice area... and maybe seed money to start up a business of some kind. Then I'd put a bulk of it away in a savings account.

    go back to school, do what i wanted, pay off my debts, travel europe, and invest quite a bit.

    oh and i'd own far too many cars. :)

    I would pay off all debt first and buy the house I really want. Nothing ridiculous but new. I would make sure to have a lot of land and start my dream of having a boxer rescue. I would save the majority of my winnings for retirement/ old age. I would probably keep my job and so would my hubby. I would want to travel the world.
  • If its a big amount then I would pay off my sister's bills, my parents and mine. then I would have a house built thats big enough for my gf and myself and our 7 children. and buy us both cars. and maybe go on a vaction.

    So much greed in here...Lets say its substantial Mega-Lotto...

    I would either find land and build, or find land with a building, develop a foundation for the rehabilitation of our homeless with a primary focus on veterans and families.

    I'd pay off my mom's house and her debt. Pay off my own debt, buy a house (nothing too big), a couple cars for the girl and I, and a couple of my dream motorcycles. Then travel the world to follow MotoGP to each track through the season, and try to do a track day on each track they hit.

    First would be to give 10% to our church, then pay off my parents mortgage because they have helped me so much mentally and financially. They have been there for me through thick and thin! Then pay off all our debts, quit my job so I could stay at home with my 2 year old, do some research and donate to a few local charities, buy an SUV again (brand new fully loaded Tahoe), get my husband a new truck (Silverado 4x4 Crew Cab), and take a lot more vacations. The biggest expense would be to buy a house or build a custom one. I am tired of paying rent... we just don't have the money right now for a down payment on a home. I actually don't have anything crazy in mind that I would do because I would want to continue living a normal life... but just knowing we would never have financial problems again would be amazing.

    I'd hire a young woman in her early 20s. I'd pay her a remarkable salary. I'd give her the best pension and benefits money could buy. I'd give her health insurance. And she would be my personal ball washer.

    There's nothing sexual about this. If you're an important person and you want to show off to other important people, what would be better than having a woman walking in front of you rinsing and scrubbing? Rinse rinse, scrub scrub... because I am an IMPORTANT CEO, and MY NUTS SHOULD BE CLEAN!!!

    And people would see me, and they'd ask, "Who is that?" Who is that??? THAT, my friends, is my very esteemed personal ball washer. What did you buy? Another car??? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAAA

    Hopefully she speaks in metaphors, so she gets what's coming to her....

    I would work with a financial planner to invest my money.

    I'd purchase my own home, so I don't have to rent anymore. I'd buy a car for myself and my son. I'd probably pay to have that eyesore of a rental house bulldozed to the ground. LOL

    I'd build an at-home gym in my house, complete with all workout equipment, personal massuese, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and a walking track.

    I would quit my job and volunteer full time with various community development opportunities.

    I would donate a portion to my church to keep it operating in tip-top shape.

    I would help out my parents and sister, along with a few single parent friends that I've made over the years.

    I'd love to spend money flipping houses. There are so many houses around here that are just falling apart and I'd love to see improvements made. Maybe I'd flip them and then rent them out for cheap to low-income families.

    I'd pay off my debt, go on the Trans-Siberian Railway (a dream vacation of mine :embarassed: ), then invest the rest with a very good financial adviser.
