What would you do if you would win 1 Million Dollars in a lottery? Or in some other way?

I would buy a house and all the furniture I need. Would buy all my loved ones something nice and would put the rest in an account for my children.

Well I would make sure I invested enough to live comfortably off the interest for the rest of my life.

I would also donate a large sum to charity.

I would pay off all my bills. Would purchase a new house on a lake or near the ocean. Put money away for my children so they won't have to struggle in life like loki and I have.Give some to my friends who really need the money.

I would buy a home and remodel it, or have one built, that is completely handicap accessable. Preferrably in the country. Get a van for folks to haul me around in. Set up home delivery for my beer. I would also take a hundred bucks over to Wal-mart and replace my entire wardobe.

I would live. I have never been much about money meaning people seem to wish and dream and hope for lots of money and I've found that most of them would just blow it on unnecessary things like clothes and shoes and cars, etc... Material things are nice and sometimes necessary but not most important.

I would make sure that my parents first and foremost and my siblings then myself and my family had their necessities. Then I would donate something to charities.

And after all that has been taken care of I would spurge on something special for certain people, including close friends. It's alright to have a little fun after taken care of business...

Just big enough for our children to come to visit, and new stuff for the house !
A new Van......
A million does not go to far these day's

Nice!

100 or so mostly self sufficient acres and settle in or I'd be a globe trotting nomad for life.

I could do my entire wardrobe in a 'C' note or less... except for those damn, muddy hiking boots (those might be a bit pricey).

If I won a mill, I don't know if I'd buy a house at this point in time. Might just rent for a while and invest a bit chunk of it. Would definitely have some fun... haven't done that in way too long. And I would set up a trust fund for each of my two grandsons for their education.

That about does it for me.

A million ...... I would hope that to be euro ;\)

Would love to help my brother pay off his mortage, buy that scooter for my mom-in-law since she can't walk or cycle properly anymore. Purchase a piece of land and built our little farm house.

One thing I promise to do if we ever have money is to donate to the 'cancer foundation' in our country, also to go to orphanage and old folks home to see what they need and buy for them. We don't believe in giving just cash to them, instead to find out what they need and get it for them.

And I think that's about as far as it can go since as Grams said ... a million can't go far nowadays.
