If you won the lottery?

Post by Skillian »

What would you do if you won the lottery? And I'm talking like the Power-Ball when it gets to like crazy $300 Million... how would you spend it all? What is something extravagant you would treat yourself to? Surely with so much money there is still plenty to be reasonable with even if you are unreasonable with some.

If you are anything like me then you've planned this out before. Every time I purchase a ticket my hopes are up. At this point in my life I think I would travel and take classes for the rest of my life... naturally after making some investments and various donations.
I love LOVE. <3

Pay off all of my bills and buy new houses for all of my family!

I would buy a huge house and start up a home for children with nowhere to go.
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

I think because it is written documentation, they are legally binding!

So if I won the lottery, I would buy YOU.

AH! My evil plans are foiled again!

So, really.

I would probably spend my money on a house in Japan and a car. Plus a house in Memphis plus a car I could keep at the airport.
And then I would drive across the US in my car and stop at all the major landmarks and take photos. And I would probably take a year or two off work to do all this.

I would pay off all my debt, help the poor, and start my business and then make sure that people were helped along the way. I think I would continue to work hard and help others so that my kids learned to work hard. Besides in this life things will all vanish I can't take anything with me!
