If you won the lottery...

First three things you would do with the money. (Assuming it is about 100 million after taxes.) Don't think, just list three things!

Re: If you won the lottery...

  • First thing is a car since i, like an idiot, let STBXH sell my car 7 years ago and I have been trapped without one since. After that I would buy my childhood home thats about to be short sale'd to a builder who is going to demolish it. And pay off my parents properties as a thank you for all they have done to help me in the last 2 years.
  • pay my student loans  I probably wouldnt have much left over after!
  • I'd put about 50 million into some sort of savings (my savings acct is puh-thetic).  Then I would pay off my house and make it the way I want it.  Then I would buy a bigger house to summer in.  And I would pay off my close families houses.   Boring.

    3. Start and/or fund a charity for at risk teens.

    I bought a lotto ticket tonight. 220 million. If I win, I will buy everyone here a cookie. :P
