    What would you do if you won the lottery?

    Let's say it's a fairly big one - 20 million or more immediate payout.

    1. Quit your job? Volunteer?
    2. Take more risks in your career?
    3. Live on interest only?
    4. Donate a lot to charity/church?
    5. Buy a huge house? A beach house? A mountain house?
    6. Travel lots?
    7. Go MC Hammer on us?

    I'd probably keep my job for a year or two minimum just so my life wouldn't change too fast. It would be easy kind of going through it with an I don't care attitude. I would try to stay as down to earth as possible. I would get a nice house but not a lot more. I would just enjoy the freedom and travel a lot.


    I rarely pay the "tax for the mathematically challenged" but we'll occasionally do it just for fun.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    quit my job ASAP. buy about 1000 acres, build a big pond if there is not already one, build a big house in front of said pond. Build my kids a house on the opposite end of the property. Give some cash to some family members.

    and

    buy a Goldwing for traveling
    buy the wife a red convertible
    help out on some local dealos
    do some foreign travel.

    thats about as far as I have gotten with my plans.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    big, nice pool for backyard...take the whole family for a cruise or weeks stay somewhere exotic.

    Nicer cars for both of us.

    Quit the job. Effective immediately...maybe start my own school someday after I get bored.

    pre-pay kids college at OU.

    then invest...

    well, might buy my two loser brothers a car or something.
    Do it for the Polar bears.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    seriously though, i'd probably work less, volunteer more and live off the interest

    i'd probably help out my family a bit, but wouldn't get too extravagant. i probably would buy a nicer house and some cars, and stuff, but nothing too crazy

    Invest most of it & live off the interest.


    Travel. A lot.
    ... that's not food.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    I forgot to say (since others said it) that I'd give a sizeable amount to parents, siblings, etc. Then when extended family (especially ones I don't know) came asking for help I'd point them back to the others....

    If I lived in Deleware (or is it Jersey) I'd keep it confidential.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    Take the 20-year payout or whatever it is for starters. I'm young, so that would probably get me pretty far. I'd prolly use that to try to get a Ph.D. and I probably would still try to work for a few years until the money built up.

    Re: What would you do if you won the lottery?

    Quit work...

    Houses, ranches, quality hunting lands....here and there...

    Ferrari F-430, Audi R8, other fast and exotic cars, motorcycles and other toys of various kinds...

    Lots of golf and travel... and sitting on my ***...

    I'd definitely never strike another lick at a job for the rest of my life...

    Fix up the family real good as well...

    Chances are, that is goodbye money. Your expectation is horrible when playing roulette.

    Ohh, your not being serious? Carry on then...
