If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 things you would do? First, I would pay off every bill I have. Second, buy a house and third, put the rest in the bank.

Actually, I might invest some of the money and put the rest in the bank.

When I win it, I'll let you know.

I played the Florida Lottery for 3 years along with 10 other guys, and gave up playing in January.
At that time, some of my buddies said "Well, what are you gonna do when we win?" I replied " I'll have my choice of jobs, and be in charge of the new guys!" <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Depends on how big the lottery was? I'd definately pay off debts...but, I would have fun, too! A trip to somewhere tropical for a week or 2....

Pay off bills, put some in savings, then a trip around the world would be nice. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sorry. Never play the lottery. Any extra cash goes straight into either savings or stocks.

If I ever win I would pay all bills,buy a very large house have my mom move in with our two dogs and buy a nice guest house for my brother and his family buy a new car for them,setup a college fund for niece and nephew. Buy the building my buisness is in so I can expand.Build a center for kids <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> --not that I have thought about this or anything <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

If I were to win a boat load of money playing the lottery, the first thing I would do is become debt free (almost there now) I would then set up each of my kids a college fund with enough money for todays colleges and hope that this would grow to become enough for the colleges of tomorrow. Then I would take a trip to the UK! I've always wanted to see Scotland and England and of course Ireland, Then I'd fly out to Italy to pick up my new Lamborghini! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> (ship it back on a boat of course) Then after getting home I would have to start my own business to support my family after I blow all the money <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Well I don't have that kind of luck<img src="frown.gif" border="0"> but if I did I would pay off some bills, buy a new truck, take a long vacation, put the rest in the bank. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/realhappy/jump.gif

Well, here in Illinois we have a big lotto and the other side of the river has powerball, so I always day dream about this sort of thing. The first thing I would do, is buy all the houses on the cul de sac I live on, and tear them down (I live on a cul de sac, on a hill, in a very closed off developement) and build a nice big house up on the hill top.

Next, I would pay off my one sisters house, and buy my other sister one. I would pay my oldest sister $150,000 to divorce the a-hole she is married to. I would then put about 100grand per nephew/niece in a college fund. And if they didnt go to college, the money goes to charity.

Then I would buy a minor league hockey team. I see how some are run, and they could really be a nice investment, and fun to operate if done right. Plus, I love minor league hockey (echl is the best league on earth!) I would also build my own arena, a small, like 6,000 seat arena specifically for the team.

Then I would get my passport, go to the airport, and hop on whatever plane was leaving the country next. Spend a few days there, and head to the airport again. I would travel like that until I got tired of traveling. Then I would come home.

I used to say I would buy a bad ass RV and drive around the country, and have sex with a different woman in each state. But, that would be hard in places like Utah or Montana. Plus, who wants to drive all the time?

BWAHAHAHAHA <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Pay off bills and sell our house and get a bigger one. Nothing fun for me. Oh wait, my dream since the 7th grade was to go to Australia. Got to go there!! Must be from being a die hard ONJ fan!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I'd buy more land, maybe a small mansion...Then (of course) I'd buy some new cars! <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> And travel around the world <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

First,I'd get rip-roarin' drunk.then I'd change my phone number so all my distant relatives couldn't find me,then I'd go to work,strip naked,dance around and sing the "I Quit" song!Then I'd worry about the big stuff,like building a big gothic mansion(Like something out of a Vincent Price movie)and bask in the fact that I'm no longer crazy,but eccentric.

Pay off all the bills, house and all. College fund and trust fund for son. Help those who were there for me when I needed them most, and can we say Make A Wish, Little One!!! Kids' charities all the way. St. Judes, local orphanage, etc. I'd probably start my own Make a Wish type foundation. Boy, the way a kid can affect your life is just amazing.

You forgot to add visit Topcat for a candy party. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> I like Kit Kats best<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

*Knocking on topcat's door* I WON! I WON! I got kit kats. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Hey, where are those smilies?
I'd fix up the house and garden. Buy an really nice car and 4WD. And save the rest. Maybe a holiday in there too, but where??? Too many choices!! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

I've never won anything. My luck has never been very good. Just as well that I don't believe in luck. LOL.

However, if by some miracle my luck changed:

1) Get really, really, really drunk.
2) Lose ticket.

:(

no no, bogie, that won't do.

you could
1. send me a plane ticket for there.
2. get really really drunk
3. let me hold onto the lotto ticket before you lose it.

:)
aren't i thoughtful?

(1)Pay off mine and my husbands student loans.
(2) put away a quarter of the earnings into a trust fund for the kids.
(3) Buy a Black Volvo Station wagon with black rims and tint (I have always always wanted one for some reason) :)
(4) I'd buy a bigger house out in the bush by a lake so I can go fishing, take walks in the bush and sunbathe without neighbours around.
(5) Take the kids to Disneyland
(6) Pool boy!
(7) Um need a pool to go with the pool boy I guess.
(8) I'd give away tons to charity
(9) Buy new furniture - all oak.
(10) Buy my husband his sailboat he's been drolling over for 10 years so HE can sail around the world for a year.
(11) Pay for every member of 80sXchange to come and party to great music.
(12) I'd give away tons to people who want to go to college or University - student debt is brutal here.
(13) save the rest in my mattress get really weird and misery. - NOT :)

It's a deal. ;) I guess I'll just have to start buying lottery tickets now. Did I mention that's the other reason I've never won anything? LOL. I've never bought a single ticket in my life. :D

I somehow guessed that this is the right kind of car for you. If you ever will see a Volvo dealer, check out for the V70 T-5 (max power...sheer fun) or the V70XC CrossCountry (I guess you would call it a SUV). ;)

Hmm...if the lotto fairy could be bribed so she will draw our numbers exclusively...

- Getting our butts out of this apartment immediately and into a nice house (maybe an old landhouse/farm?) in the country
- Getting rid of the bloodhounds from the bank (boy...they will get a shock when they notice that my account is written in black numbers again after all those years :D )
- Travelling the world´s nicest spots...meeting all the other xchangers ;)
- Collecting a few nice Old- and Youngtimers to store them in the barn of the landhouse/farm, taking them for a ride from time to time
- Placing my ass on a motorbike again...for travelling, a BMW R 1150 GS, for fun, a Buell XB9R Firebolt
- Donating some money to charity organisations
- Keeping on with the ordinary life...nothing too much kinky, I guess...hmm, maybe participating in a few ventures, like E-clips... :D

Mmm.....here's my list:

1) Pay off my student loans (argh!!)
2) Pack my backpack, take a year or two off and travel around the world (can be done for around USD 32,000 for 2 years) :D
3) Put the rest in a Swiss bank account and see what might take my fancy - I'm not really into owning things - money is good for buying me freedom and experiences (adventure) :)

I rarely play.. but if i did win.

I would pay off all my debts and get the hell out of this hell hole....

I would buy Ohio and deport tc back to hell from whence she came. :)

I buy a new house. live here in the summer, have a place down south for the winter, pay off all my bills buy my father a new 4 wheel drive, and spend alot of times calling people i didn't like throughout my years telling them i just won the lottery :D :D :D :D :D

Wave - If I do get an SUV it will be a Range Rover with a true kit to go off road and through the mud. Definitely a Winch :)

I hate to break it to you but other than the Word Volvo the rest of the versions don't really mean much to me. You could have a great car and I would tell you its colour not the make LOL.

As for the BMW bike - cruise on over here and take me for a ride. I miss my bike :(

Ted - I want to do nasty things to my pool boy and I just can't bear the thought of violating your youth LOL 'Dance for me Pool Boy'

I hate to break it to you...but the Range sucks in the mud. It was merely designed to make Queen Lizzy looks good when she´s visiting Castle Balmoral. :D

For that BMW ride...anytime - I miss biking, too. ;)
