What would be the first (or second) thing you would do if you won the lottery?

1st I would buy an apartment building for all my buddies to live in. Think Melrose Place with kegs and tattoos.

2nd would be a trip to New Zealand. I want to ride a bicycle around the southern island.

1. Tell no one
2. Disappear (with my babe)

@johnpowell
nice of you to think of ur buddies… i wanna be on ur buddy list lol

@Facade
LOL but eventually they’d find out

1. Buy that house on thirty acres of land I saw in the country that I fell in love with a couple years ago.
2. Put a 20 foot high concrete wall around it, and invite everyone I know and love to the biggest open air party/orgy this hemisphere has ever seen.
3. Buy stock in Fluther. Lots of stock.

1. pay off all debt.
2. pay off any of my parents debt.
3. move to NY so my husband could go to culinary school. (to refine his skills.)
4. move back to PA, buy a house in a great school district. live happily ever after.

@KalWest I suppose…

*Buy my mother a house wherever she wanted to be
*Pay off my sister’s school loans

1) I’d pay off my houses.
2) I’d move into one of them.
3) I’d pay off my best friend’s house because she deserves it.
4) I’d buy a monster fried-cheese-laden double Squeezeburger (if I had enough left) and breathe a sigh of relief.

Tell no one (Facade’s right on the nose, there)

Buy a house.

Live comfortably.

1, Pay off all debt (house, student loans, etc.)
2. Build our house in WA
3, Invest the rest wisely; see if I could get a fund for animal-related charities going.

1. pay off all my debts (not that many actually)
2. bribe enough people to get my job done. Or just a few hitmen. 3. build a dream house on a plot of land I already have and put trees all around it.
4. Give the rest away so that I don’t get tempted to become lazy or something (and hassled by people who want loans). Too much money is actually a problem.

Pay off all my immediate families debt.
Travel the world for a year or so.
Move to London and continue my education. :)

*Call my old boss’s financial planner (who was also Madonna’s financial planner until she moved to the UK). He’ll handle all my debts.

*Call an emigration lawyer and find out what I need to do to start a UK-based film/TV production company.

Get paid in one lump sum.
Even though if make less net, i’d be able to invest all that money now which could potentially earn way more than if I were receiving incremental payments over 30 years.

2nd, I’d but a luxurious home in SF.

I’d also start my own charity fund that I’d use to improve local schools.

I’d pay off my dads house and then move out,probably to canada. And then i’d take a trip. Somewhere like the amazon or india

1) Cash the check
2) Get on a plane

Depends on how much I won in the lottery. I’ve won a buck or two and really never did anything special.

However, if I won a big pot like over a million (after taxes) I would finish much quicker the rehabbing of my hundred ++ year old apartment/commercial building. I doubt jp would want to move in with his buddies, but one never knows, do one?

1.) Pay off my debts.
2.) Pay for all the medical bills of my family members, past/present/future.
3.) Buy a house with a big back yard, and put a covered ice rink out back. :)

@3or4monsters You must be a displaced northern midwest gal…

1. Go have celebratory sex with the bartender I kinda like.
2. Buy SOMETHING.
3. Have sex again :)

@ru2bz46 or a misplaced Canadian. Damn!

@3or4monsters Oh, you were way north. My wife is from Michigan, and ice skating is something she always brings up.

@ru2bz46 nah, wishful thinking. I was raised in Seattle; I just wish I was midwest or Canadian. Those people, they have some hockey-culture to speak of, there’s no love for the sport in WA.

@3or4monsters Nor in California. Hockey is the other thing she misses. You must have visited there often to know the depth of their culture. ;-)

First thing I’d do is faint.
Then after I came to, the second thing I’d do is go house hunting.

First: Pay off my bills
Second: Enjoy what is left!

1. Spend some money
2. Spend some more money

Gadzooks! The 1st thing I would do is definately be sure I was awake. The second I would be sure I was not having visions because I was dying.
