    I'd pay off my student loans, but since that's not technically a purchase...I'd do the sweet patio setup we have planned for our backyard.

    We'd probably put both our houses on the market.

    The fiiiirst thing?  Probably a fancy car for DH.  We always say we'd buy a condo on Maui if we won.  Some were for sale at the place where we rented this year.  They were oooonly $1.5M.

    Yes

    Why are some of you fixing up a current home?  I'd sell every house I own as-is right now.

    Amen! I love my house & all, but if I won the lottery, I'd kiss that sucker goodbye in a heartbeat.

    I also love my house, but I would think you'd need the security of a gated/guarded community after winning the lottery. Maybe I could pay for the community to be gated and guarded. LOL

    Anyway, I'd probably have one of our Disney loving friends set up how to do Disney in the most expensive way (dinner at Victoria & Albert's chef table, etc.) for a couple of weeks, just for the hell of it. Then a bangin' car, but not a sportscar and not one I'm scared to drive around--just one expensive enough to make people go, "Well, la-ti-dah! Who does she think she is?" Then put feelers out for a more secure, slightly larger house and potentially a vacation home in Hawaii. After that, I'd try to be semi-responsible.

    So true! Guess I'm so in renovation mindset that I didn't even think about the fact that we could just sell the house for whatever the heck it sells for and finally get the hell out.

    Clearly I am not able to handle winning the lottery because I read this post I said, "I'd do that...no, wait...THAT"S what I'd do first, noooo.....wait...I'd totally do that!" LOL The first purchse would probably be tickets to Africa/Zanzibar/Seychelles and once I was done w/that, we're joing Madisen & her DH in first class (or would you want to charter a private jet w/us?) for one way tix to Cali.

    If you don't mind sharing with an almost 2yr old and two small dogs, we're in on the jet with you. ;)

    I would get a pool put in our backyard since DH has been whining about wanting one since we bought the place.

    Don't mind at all! ;) We will be happy to jetpool across the country w/kiddos and pups in tow. Sure, we could all afford it ...but 2 separate jets would just be wasteful.

    Exactly my thought.  And don't worry, we'll be sedating the dogs and will have the nanny administer Benadryl with a hint of Bourbon to DS as soon as we hit the runway.

    I'd be on the phone with the realtor so they could sell our house and find us a gorgeous piece of land on the water somewhere to build our dream home.

    A lot someplace so we could build.  In a perfect world it would be a lot with beach access and some more wooded areas.

    After the land/home I'd have a couple of cars.  My "giant @ss Rapper SUV", sports car, and a hybrid for long trips.
