That is a lot of money. First I would buy a home for myself and kids, and then ofcourse my family. I would give each family memeber money also. Then I would do exactly what I always say I would do if I won the lottery: I would buy a bunch of house for sigle parents and allow them to live there for free while they had enought money to get a place of there own. I know there are programs out there to help low income familys, but this would be different, I would cover all living expensise for them until they could do it by themselfs. Everyone at some point could use a little bit of help. I want a home of my own so bad, its all I ever think about, and I know that I am not the only sigle parent out there that also wants the same thing for their children. I would love to help someone else obtain their goals.
If I had that much money, I would give money to my parents so they pay off my sisters high school and college education. I would also give money to my parents to pay off the house. I would give money to my brother and sister to invest and enjoy the money for a little. I would buy some things I always wanted, and move out on my own house and buy myself some nice cars. I would purchase a house for all my really close friends and buy them cars also. I would give money to charity to those that mean something to me. I would than invest the rest, and live off the interest. I would not retire at age 24, because eventually I would be bored out of my mind.
I would keep it a secret for at least a month and in that month I would ask favors from my friends and family. Those who would assist me with my favors would be rewarded once I cashed in, those who would not help** TOO BAD***
First, I would go into hiding, then set up a blind trust fund to collect the winnings. then I would invest 70% of it in conservative safe investments, so i can have a nice income for the rest of my life, take 15% of the winnings and give to my immediate family and closest friends, give 10% of the winnings to charity in the Cleveland area, especially for the homeless and people on the verge of homelessness, then take the last 5% of the winnings and build/buy my dream house, cars, toys, etc.
if i win i would be able to make all my family members rich!that idea of a home for single and or struggling parents sounds good too. been there know the struggle never ends, until you get an education and good job and even then some strife but 300+ million could make this whole city change!
First off i would buy a house for my wife and i. I would also buy a house for my grandmother who supported me after my parents passed away. I would then pay off all my bills and give some money to my sisters. I would set up a college fund for all my nieces and nephews. i would give $50,000 to the wounded soldiers fund to help out soldiers who were wounded in combat. i know hard it is for them cause i served in iraq for 15 months and got hurt there myself. I would also ensure that a gravestone got put on my parents grave cause they do not have a permenant gravestone. i would then invest the rest so that i could live good for the rest of my life.
I would buy out the owners of my shop and fire them. Along with the "workers" that stand around while other people work. Then take the guy's that do work to Hawaii.
I'd buy the Cleveland Indians.
I dont play the lotto but it is nice to think what I would do. First I would give 10 per cent to the church. Then I would buy a new house with at least 4 bathrooms! I would give each one of my kids enough money to buy a house and enough to live on. I would put up a trust fund for each one of my grandchildren,give my brother money so he wouldnt have to work anymore.I would also give money to the local food pantry, clothing bank, and homeless shelter. I would also buy a grocery store fully stocked so my family and I could go shopping and pick up anything we wanted to eat.To me it is still fun to think of what I would do.
I have been getting assistance from welfare since my son was born. I work three jobs all parttime just to support my son and myself. I would take the money and get us settled and then donate the rest to the orginizations that have helped us along the way.
After recovering from the heart attack I would suffer frpm realizing I won the mega-millions, I would do what most people probably would do. I'd buy homes for my siblings and their families, and put away money for my neices and nephews college funds. I honestly don't need much more than what I have now, but I would DEFINITELY make sure all the kids in the family had a secure future. And we'd take one helluva vacation together.
If I had that much money, I would pay for me to go to college, buy my parents new cars, buy my co-worker the house that she is wanting to buy donate a bunch to my church and to the aids foundations and the breast cancer foundations, then I would buy a house and a new car and put the rest in the bank.
IF I WON THE MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY I WOULD BUY THE CAR DEALERSHIP I WORK AT AND RAIZE ALL THE BUILDINGS AND MAKE A FREE PUBLIC PARKING LOT OUT OF IT!I WOULD THEN PROMPTLY HEAD FOR A TROPICAL ISLAND THAT SERVES DRINKS OUT OF COCONUT SHELLS WITH THOSE LITTLE UMBRELLAS STICKING OUT OF THEM. DON'T TRY TO CALL ME....MY CELL PHONE WILL BE OFF.....PERMANANTLY!
I wouldn't even know where to begin. I would be able to sit back and figure it out without all the day to day stress, thats for sure! I think a nice trip somewhere warm would be the first order of business, but after that it's anyone's guess. It's nice to dream isn't it? Tomorrow most of us will be reading about the lucky one who does win it, just so you know I'll think about you when I'm cashing in the ticket!!
I would pay off this house rehab it make it the way we want it. Buy the rental next door Kick the tenants out redo that house to a 2 apt instead of a 4 apt. first floor to my parents and then keep the upstairs for when the in laws visit. Pay off bills, student loans, donate some money to the fund for injured veterans. Pay off my inlaws place. Buy a winter home in the south.
Set up college funds for each of my kids. Buy my sister a house for her and her kids. and invest the remaining bit. OH yea THROW A BIG PARTY>!
If I won the lottery, I would give a 10th of it as tithing to the church and other charities. Then, I would pay off debt, buy a car and a 4 bedroom ranch home on a lot of property. (No more renting for me!!!) I would invest some of it. Also, I would take a much needed vacation to visit friends around the world. I would also get better health insurance. I would prayerfully consider quitting my job, and start my own business. However, at this point it is wishful thinking...But it never hurts to dream....Good Luck Everyone.
I would pay off all my debts and my adult children's debts. Then in the summer we could all have a great reunion in a warm, happy place. Then I would buy an RV and go traveling and camping with my new young children. After that, I would set up trusts for all of them and use the rest to help different families through county referals.
If I won that money...first, I would pay off ALL of my bills. Then, buy a nice car. I would give some to my parents and brother...take my man on the vacation of a lifetime and help him start his business. I would go back to school (paid for in advance!). Then, my man and I would buy the house of our dreams...where-ever we want and put the rest aside in savings.
