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.

pay off my bills, and buy a house...

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...

Oh , lots of way's.
To the Church , which would go to a lot of different places !
To our 3 children, and there family.
And we would build a house.
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
so I may be done spending after all of that ?
It was fun thinking about all of that .........................

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.

I think I would use part of it to buy a really expensive state of the art server and donate it to Fool Moon.

I'd give it to my wife, she would end up with it anyway!!

Rancher

Probably just the same as anyone else - pay off bill, buy a lovely home, fix my Mum and Dads home for them, help my children out.

And would use some to go and visit all my FM pals

I'd just enjoy it. Think about it. Then decide

Buy about 30 Martin acoustic guitars, one for every day of the month.

Then I'd buy every bastard in the Old Bastard's Home a subscription to "Old Bastard Magazine". Then I'd send a ton of spam to people who call me "Old Wakeholden."

I'd go into the Dollar Store and buy one of everything! Cause that's just how a big spender rolls!

How much would it cost me to just lounge on the beach everyday in a silk robe and watch 20 year old ladies play volleyball?

A bit of it? Only a bit? A really expensive state of the art server would be, well REALLY expensive. Will a cool million cut it?

What would you do on the 31st day of the 7 months with 31 days, and for that matter it's a leap year, so one guitar would be mightly lonesome come February 29.

Have you considered how sensitive accoustic guitars are?

And did you budget for replacement strings? Oh dear ....

Guess that would depend on how much the judge sets bail at. Could be prettty expensive though.

*grins*

Are the NT4 servers they're currently running bothering you Wakey?

How much would the government take of that million ?????

Would I be in shock ?

I'd buy FM, fire everyone, and start a porn site.

(First thought that came to mind. A bit impulsive eh?)

Maybe I'd do like Wake .. buy a Martin D-35, a couple D-3512's, one for each day as well, but I'd buy 365 of 'em .. thereby bypassing any math and lunar problems.

I'd hire a few guitar gals too, to change the strings (G-strings) and fetch me Margaritas and Cubanos while I lounge on the beach. Wouldn't spend a dime on their clothes .. they wouldn't need 'em.

(My parents and kids would never find me!)

PostDribble: On Windy's suggestion, I'd also buy a .357 to shoot open coconuts for drinks. Pina Coladas anyone?

Just can't do manual labor eh?

Pina coladas.... yummmmmm!

First thing I would buy would be lots of socks. Then I would buy umm.....well......I guess......have unspecified surgeries. Ummmm...A different computer for my new house. Largest monitor available. Hmmm....what else....*thinking*

I would have a huge weekend party with all my close friends. Free lodging, food and plenty of fun activities to do.

Okay, I know most of you, excluding Wakey and Da Bff, have said that you'd do sumptin like pay bills and/or set up trust funds for the offspring and grandoffspring... but really now.

What if the bills were not a concern, and your progeny were already cared for? Be self-centered for a minute and let your imagination run wild, OKAY???

All right... I still wouldn't spend too much on clothes, because that's just not my thing, and I'm fairly simple in my clothing tastes. I do love a good haircut, though, so I might hire my own personal stylist. Hell, I might invest a chunk in a friggin spa. LOL

I'm thinkin for a cool mill, I could also get a few new cars... No. 1, that Grand National I've been drooling about for the longest now... and a beautiful black Caddy STS caught my eye a few days ago, and I could see myself sporting around in that... I think an Escalade would round out the collection quite nicely.

Wouldn't mind having a state-of-the-art HDTV entertainment system, too, and a computer with the big screen monitor, and someone to dust all of it off for me.

Hmmmmmmm... upon further consideration, I think I'd better win TWO million instead of one.

'Tis fun to think about the possibilities, eh?

I'd have the concrete block out-building in our back yard taken away and have our back yard landscaped--something my husband has promised without $1m. I'd hire out everything Len has promised he'll do over the last 20 years, like replacing tile that was damaged during the last earthquake and finishing the fireplace surrounds.

I'd have the floors refinished and house re-painted inside and out.

Then I'd throw away all of the junk mail that's attendent with a large lottery win.

In other words, my life wouldn't change much.

I would travel. With a million dollars I would travel to all the wonderful places I have on my list. Yes I have a list. Before I leave this Earth, this is something I would love to do.

Buy 10,000 shares of Walmart stock. Then get one of those hair implants to replace the hair that's fallen out over the last 20 years. Get a massage every other day. Take week long fake business trips to Denmark and Sweden so I could have affairs with strange tall attractive women who don't speak English ....oh, and without my wife finding out.

Buy a big new black Mercedes sedan, one with tinted windows so people would think I was in the mafia and maybe then they wouldn't open their doors in parking lots and scratch the paint on my vehicle's door. I'd never cook or go grocery shopping again, and I'd always eat out at fancy restaurants where they serve food with words in front of the entree' like "sauteed, savory, delectable", etc. instead of the usual "chicken fried" with gravy or "on a bed" of rice or pasta. If there's anything I hate, it's food on top of, in , or under a bed.

I would NOT go to Mexico because you can get kidnapped and held for ransom down there, and well, knowing my wife, if she had a million dollars back in the states, she'd probably just let me rot in some abandoned Tiajuana warehouse forever. I'd also buy three or four more dogs and hire some illegal alien from Mexico to go round picking up dog poop for like minimum wage probably. I mean, how much is a doggy poop picker upper worth anyway? Like I keep telling my wife, "There's no skill involved in it, so why do I always have to do it for crying out loud?"

"Because in general, men are better at picking up poop than women on account of they have bigger hands," she always says.

"Bigger hands??? Weight is not the problem!" I keep telling her.

Is that cook's position still open at the OBH?

I'd like to help out as many animal shelters around the world as I could. Those commercials make me sad.

If I had a million dollars, naturally I'd send it to either Benny Hinn or Robert Tilton, two of my favorite televangelists. They deserve it. I don't. This is what happens when you turn your life around and start doing good for a change. I learned to think like this on the internet. Before, when I was living a normal life on the outside, I too would have been willing to spend a million dollars on expensive cars and houses and Mediterranean cruises, but the web has changed my life. It can do the same for you.
