What Would You Do?
What would you do if you won the lottery and suddenly found yourself with an extra 5 million dollars?

An "extra" five mil? As opposed to the five mil I already have laying around??
Here's what I imagine I would do:
1. Spend several hours hugging, kissing, cheering, and basically celebrating.
2. Hightail my fanny to the redemption center to get that sucker verified and cashed immediately.
3. Pay off all outstanding debts.
4. Purchase a home.
5. See doctor to treat all the bruises from continually pinching mysef to see whether it's all just a dream.
Then it would be, meet with financial advisors, yada yada. The one thing I would *not* do? Tell my mom of the win -- she's been playing the lotto ever since it started and has never won anything significant. To have her non-lottery playing daughter hit the jackpot would just about kill her.
I would pay off my bills and then have a giant party, go on a trip and just buy whatever I wanted.
I'd use the money to pay for college and a mini-cooper S :-)
O wait, I'd also put $1,000 in an account so I can buy a 1911 style Kimber Pro Carry II .45 when I turn 21.

I would post comments on blogs...

I'd open a guinea pig and rodent rescue shelter, buy a Summer home on the Oregon Coast, and smoke high quality marijuana.
Buying a million more lottery tickets would hurt either.
Have you ever thought how likely it is to win the lottery *twice*?
Mh. I fear I'd just get myself a new computer, and a vacation in the Carribbean.
Ah well... what a lot of charitable, altruistic people we are, right? ;)
I would pay off all my loans... took the family on a tour of Europe and a cruise... donate money to the church and homeless children... buy a house and a van... send plane tickets to our family back home so they could visit us... and set aside enough money for our kid's education/future.
Buy the house of my dreams... somewhere where it is warm. Give my daughter enough money to start a restaurant, my son enough to start a business of his own and buy my husband an Astin Martin. And my Mom... I would give her a bank account large enough that she would never have to worry about her finances ever again. That should pretty much do it.
A Touch of Style :)
Invest and turn it into $20 million.
I would like to have it to see. I have been accused of giving everything away to others, so I would probably continue doing that. Tithe, first. Pay my bills, and my hubbys bills and my three kids bills. Put a million in a trust fund for my grandkids. Help out my eight brothers and sisters and their families. Spend some on just plain stuff that I have never been able to afford. Sounds like a plan.
I would do nothing. I would make sure no one knew, and give about $1 million to charity (annonymously of course). I'd buy a modest house and continue with my life the same way it is, minus going to work. I would sit around my house, all day, doing nothing.
