What would do if you won the lottery?

[Rogue]

So the Euromillions lottery is up to an impressive £80 million! and I am sat here having that wonderful 'What if it was me who won the lottery' imagination. Ofcourse, there are greater chances of being hit by lightning than winning the lottery, but someone has to win it...

What would I do if I won the lottery?
★ Tour the world - Visit Snake in America for a while
★ Pay off all my friends University loans
★ Pay for Snake to live with me and go to University together
★ Buy a husky
★ Buy a lamborghini gallardo
★ Pay for my mum to go on the hooneymoon she deserves
★ Help out all my family with bills and mortgages
★ Donate alot to charity - Cant keep it all to myself
★ Volunteer/project work in other countries - That way I could see that the money was making a difference to other people
★ Take my family to Disney world
★ Open my own cake store
★ Go to all the best theme parks in the world
★ Open a trust fund for my siblings so they would not have to worry things like paying for University

Ofcourse there are other things , but I can't really think of them right now

So , what would you do if you were lucky enough to win the lottery?

[MysticalMadness]

Well, I know that I'm nowhere near Europe, but I'm going to answer anyway

If I won the lottery, I'd do several things. For one, I'd pay off school for me and my brother, pay off all my mother's debts and get her the house she has always wanted as well as give her some of the money. And I'd also pay to go visit fromo for a very good length of time.

Good thread

If I won vast sums on the lottery, I'd probably spend it on (in no particular order)

• Paying for my friend to see her boyfriend as often as they wished
• Paying off all my friends' Uni fees/debts
• Paying off my friend's mortgage so she could afford to be a stay-at-home mum as she wants to be
• Paying off my sister's accumulated debt
• Giving a large amount to a friend abroad so she can stop working as an online erotic model and settle down to proper family life with her husband and child
• Giving up my job and working voluntary in a school
• Buying a nice little place of my own
• Travelling around the country/world to visit my friends
• Putting money into developing RISC OS computers further
• Putting money away for friends children to go to Uni
• Giving money to charities

I'm sure I'd find lots more to do with it too!

[Embii]

Oh, this is hard >.< interesting thread though.
Hmm.

ᴓ Travel the world and write about it. That's basically my dream.
ᴓ Fund another charity project - I worked on one as a kid helping kids in India, it was amazing
ᴓ Lots and lots donated to charity
ᴓ Buy my mum a range rover. I've promised her I will when I earn my first million. (Yeah, I said when not if, and what)
ᴓ And a cooker. And a nice house in a nice area once me and my brother have moved out.
ᴓ Set aside enough for uni, setting up a future (house, car etc.)
ᴓ Set up my own business. Not 100% doing what, but at least set some aside for it.
ᴓ Buy skiing equipment and a ski chalet.
ᴓ Buy a boat. Not a big one, just one I get away on.
ᴓ Buy a moped. Or a motorbike. And biker gear.
ᴓ Buy designer clothes and shoes and make up and chairs and other things that aren't that useful and are overpriced. Because I can and I'm shallow.
ᴓ Give some away to friends. Pay for their dreams to come true.
ᴓ Roadtrip to all the best theme parks. And maybe through America. All the best theme parks in America. Perfect.
ᴓ Be boring and save the rest because I wouldn't want to be one of those people who win the lottery, spend it all, go broke, then get depressed.

Donate the money. I really don't need any more.

[Sexy_Slut]

Give money to my mom and stepdad because they're doing really bad in this economy.
Buy them a nice house.
Give them money for my baby brother.
Give money to my siblings.
Donate to charit.
Tour the world.
Pay off my loans.
Go on a shopping spree.
And I don't know what else. I'd probably do lots more too!

[Stellz]

Pay off all my debt and find a way to live in England for the rest of my life.

[Looking4somename]

Try to fix everything that's wrong with the world.

...oh, and buy a bucket-load of ice-cream

[iluvXTRMcbt]

Pay off all my debt and quit both jobs.
Buy a new car and travel the Country taking in all the sites.
Buy a new home and start my own business.

Thought about traveling and going to the auctions for storage units like on Storage Wars.

[Masquerade]

This is a fab idea I would:
* Split some and stick it in the bank so I could live off the interest (potentially)
* Pay off uni fees for me, you and other friends
* Start a collection of vintage/retro clothing and corsets
* Join a burlesque dancing course
* Motorbike/house/horse/etc
* Open my own zoo!

[Officelover]

I would use it to:

Pay off all my parents debts.
Go to a really top-notch university (assuming I get in!)
Save a lot of it for a rainy day.
Buy a nice apartment/loft someplace.
Give a shitton to charity (Some toward the ACLU. Some to furthering arts education. Some to Amnesty or some other human rights watch, some to help reduce poverty in Africa, some to numerous environmental organizations.)
Go on vacation with my family. Travel the world.
Use the rest very conservatively, and spend the rest of my life making art of various types.

[SilverScar]

I'd buy a little flat, a super PC, and play games for the rest of my life

[Faskwa]

First I would wait until I'd finish school. But before then I'd just by
- Clothes
- New Macbook Pro
Bam, schools done. Now I'm going to buy:
- New cars for my parents
- New house for me in Vancouver, Canada
One with panoramic windows, white marble floors
- Audi S5, fully loaded, all in black, magma interior
- If I find an organization or something that inspires me, I'd donate to them
- Proceed to go on a very long road trip across the country
- Get back home, begin construction on a water powered car (they have been made before but the inventions [and sometimes inventors] are killed before they can hit the market)
- Install high security systems throughout the house
- Get the water powered car on the market without getting killed
- Steady income now established
- Figure out what to do with my time now.
- Probably just get a girl, travel the world, you know the deal.
