Default Lottery Win

Ok, so if you won the jackpot on the lottery, what would you spend it on?

Depending on how much I had won I would do the following:

Give my mum half
Buy a bigger property - possible go into property development
Buy a new car

Then I'd stick the rest in a high interest account and just siphon off the interest to live comfortably for the rest of my life

Wow! I could do with one of those too! It is actually fascinating... I met up with an old friend a little while ago whose husband is working as a QS on some of these man-made islands. Pretty ingenius idea.

After paying off all my debts (and as many of my family's as possible), I would probably give the rest away

Default Re: Lottery Win

After setting up retirement accounts for my parents, grandmother, and myself, putting the majority in the bank, I'd buy a nice computer I really don't need but want. I'd also donate a large sum to Greenpeace or some rainforest group.

Default Re: Lottery Win

I'd pay off my debts, set up a college fund for my son, pay off my Dad's mortgage and then buy myself a place of my own (probably up north somewhere near Azh & Warlock) learn how to drive and take my motorbike test and get a little car and a big bike.

Default Re: Lottery Win

pay of all my debts, buy a house, pay off my entire families debts and buy them some stuff...

then i will go no where near a high yield savings account...i'm gonna stuff it all in my matress

think about it...lotteries are rarely under 100 million anymore...now think about that...the average life span in something like 80 years...even at 100 years that's a million bucks a year...if you can't live off that you have major problems...so why do you need a high yield savings account...you'll be dead when you run out of money (unless you plan on having money for the family after death...then that's understandable)

Depends how much, but I'd buy a car and put a lot of it away so I'm able to retire early and kick back and relax later. That'd be the life!
