Mega Millions...What would you do with the money??

The obvious one would be to pay off my bills as well as many of my families bills...would not pay off the ones that would now come out of the wood work....Then I would invest most of it.

But the one thing I would like to do is establish a place for homeless people here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast...not the typical homeless shelter...we have those but they cannot be in them during daylight hours...mine would be a place (transition) where they can stay for up to one year and work on getting back on their feet.

Oh yea...the local VFW I volunteer for we get a whole new place!!

I think first, I would travel for a year so I can decide where I want to live (possibly multiple houses across the world?) lol Of course I would pay off debts for myself, family and close friends. Buy my parents and each of my siblings a house and new cars... The usual. My children (and children in my family) would get the best education money can buy.

Later I would set up a scholarship for children who grew up with parents who were drug/alcohol addicted.
The charities I care most about you get yearly donations. Especially ASPCA and Via Lobo's, the Pit Bull rescue (anyone watch Pit Bull's and Parolees?) I would also open up some kind of a dog shelter because I LOVE DOGS!!! Maybe a dog hotel or something.

I would strongly consider adopting children. I have been trying for a while to get pregnant and no luck so far, so I would be able to afford adoption costs and give a child the best life they could imagine.

Man, so many things we all want to do...

I would roll around naked it in!

...talk about "dirty" money. LOL!!!

Well I guess first, I'd like to....

1) Get a Liver Transplant.

2) Donate to charity (such as the MSUD foundation)

3) Buy a 3-4 Bedroom house or a 3 family house (so my mother in law and my parents could have more stable places to live)

4) Pay for my schooling

5) Open the "Eatery" of my dreams

6) Travel to all the places my heart desires - within reason

7) Donate more to charity

8) Pay off any bills my husband and I have accrued, and Invest invest INVEST...not necessarily worrying about retirement and social security in the future would be lovely.

9) Having the ability to pay doctor co-pays for the rest of my life, including a Gastroenteroligst and a Hepatologist for my liver transplant after-care

10) Also being able to fund my future liver's anti-rejection medication for the rest of my life

Buy a house, but the entire Steam game collection, then pretty much live as I do now.

Oh, and buy tons of books for my Kindle.

I'd kill a unicorn with a rainbow shotgun.

We are buying an island, our whole family(close family) is coming, new car, donate our house to someone that could really use it, donate some money, and live happily ever after. To bad I have the winning ticket and y'all don't:)

Move out my 1 brm apt into nice condo, buy a car, take care of my family. get tummy tuck and lipo, and hire trainer to help me keep off weight. donate alot to st judes childrens hospital, and multiple myeloma and other charities...thats way too much money to keep to yourself

Well, since you only actually get about 35% of the total (so around $227 million, which is STILL unbelievable!) I'd get/do the following:

A car. I've been struggling to save for my first one.
A house. I love my family, but I would love to live on my own.
Repair my mom's current car, because it needs about $2000 in repairs she can't afford.
Buy my dad the car of his dreams (BMW 7-Series).
Pay off all my sisters debts.
Buy my sister a car.
Pay off my parents debts.
Bulldoze their house and re-build it to their specification.
Give my sister $250,000, brother $100,000 (with conditions he must meet), and $1 million each to my mom and dad.
Invest a third.
Save a third.
Live off a third.

See, this started up an argument earlier between my Dad and I. He wants to sit on the money and plan out how he would do everything safely.

Meanwhile he grills me because I tossed out crazy ideas, like having a levitating office chair, or letting all of my friends live inside one big mansion----all of this of course being after Sallie Mae has gotten her cut.. that persistent whorebag.

I'd have a plane.. this is for sure, and I would probably be quite fond of country-hopping and buying lavish things (AND I must admit, I'd still shop at Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Dollar Tree.. things like that). Pretty much I'd live like any uber wealthy single, childless 25-year-old American female (at least how I'd imagine them_.

Oh and before someone labels me as selfish, I WILL take care of the less fortunate. I'd fund schools and try to help those who are homeless and struggling get back onto their feet!

buy an island and hunt people for fun :devil:

Pay off my loans... I have soo many of them!
And I would get a car and a house, give to charity, give some to my mom and buy rats.

I would help out every single person I know.

Then I would pay off all my debt, buy a house & a car.
