Re: If I won lotto I would: (fill in the blank!)

I was thinking about this last night...

- Pay off my mortgage and anyone in my immediate family's mortgages
- Set aside $1 to $2 million for college for my future kids
- Buy one or two vacation homes
- Give several million to charity
- Probably in time buy a new home
- Hire a personal trainer to come and work out with me whenever I wanted them to

I can't think of anymore-- but I would give a lot away-- I would only keep what I needed to live a life comfortably, and do the things that I have always dreamed of.

Re: If I won lotto I would: (fill in the blank!)

- Give my parents, family, and friends money
- Find an architect and start planning my dream home!
- Vacation, vacation, vacation

Oh yeah, and quit my job!

A lucky man does not plan his luck

I don't want to jinx myself-lol!!

Re: If I won lotto I would: (fill in the blank!)

I'm assuming this is the $355 million jackpot we're talking about.

- I would put a quarter in the bank...and invest half.

- I would set up trust funds for each of our nieces & newphews...as well as any future children we may have.

- I would do an obscene amount of travelling.

- I would buy a house in Cold Spring Harbor.

- Take care of my dad & sister's mortgages...pay off my current home and give it to my mother.

- Buy a new car for each of us...buy an obscene wardrobe for DH & me.

- Hire a chef and personal trainer.

- Quit my job and do philanthropic work.

- Set up DH in a company of his own (he's dying to start his own business).

Re: If I won lotto I would: (fill in the blank!)

If we were talking Mega Millions type figures, I would...

Give each of my siblings/parents/grandparents $10 mill. (7 in total)

Give my best friend $1 Mill.

Give each of my closest friends $500,000.

Give each of my acquaintence type friends $100,000.

Give my STBX $5 mill.

Donate $10 Mill. to women's/children's charities across Long Island.

Donate $1 Mill. to animal shelters across Long Island.

Donate $10 Mill. to feed children in 3rd world countries.

Assess what I had left and go SHOPPING!!
Clothes, car, house, jewelry, etc.

Re: If I won lotto I would: (fill in the blank!)

Pay off our mortgage, my mom's, my ILs and buy houses for my brother and his FW and BIL and his FW.

Put money in trusts for our kids and our siblings kids to pay for college.

DH would quit his job and start his own business.

Donate a lot more than we currently do to our favorite charities.
