1.Bulid my dream pad
2.Buy me a ride
3.Invest
4.Travel
5.Contact Shakira's people and try to get a one on one, LOL!!!

1. Break down sobbing
2. Buy CDs/DVDs (everything I have at least a very passing interest in and those I hate the most, so that no one else can make the mistake to buy them)
3. Propably buy a car
4. Invest
5. Would like to build my dream house, but I would need more money for that than what you usually win in a lottery

So basically you all would think of how to help solve world problems

pay off the mortgage.
give some to the members of my family (well the ones that i like anyway )
a holiday.
invest some (dont want to starve when i get old )
donate some.

Buy a house
Buy a recording studio and instruments
Buy a car (and a driver's license )
Give away some to parents and friends
Invest

the first 5 things

1. pay off ALL debt
2. Buy a car/houses
3. go overseas
4. invest in property etc
5. give to others who don't have

I'd let it ride!

1. Pay off any debts
2. Sort out my mates
3. Buy a fantastic house
4. Go on the holiday of a lifetime
5. Quit my job, take up voluntary work

set a bit aside for myself and family and friends

start a trust fund for charitable causes, focusing on giving money to needy people anonymously

hire the best legal team money can buy and go after 'factory farms' that mass-produce animals for consumption. i would dearly love to destroy current legislation that define animals as 'chattels' thereby reducing them to the status of objects

I'd go fishing.

thats all? not even a porno and a cheeseburger?

Winning the lottery would be a disaster for me. Thats why i dont do it. Oh and because its taxation in the disguise of fun!

Christopher said:

No. I'd go fishing five times, is all.

£1m a fish?

First five things I would do...

1. Pick my jaw off the floor.
2. Scream and jump around a lot, hugging anyone in immediate vicinity.
3. Double check numbers again.
4. Go and by a huge bottle of champers and drink it.
5. Decide what to do with the money.

very true!!

Well, here's the first 5 things Dolores McNamara from Limerick did after winning €115 million in the Euro Millions lottery :

1. Regret giving her ticket to a friend to check the numbers whilst getting pissed in the pub, so that 5 minutes after the draw all of Limerick knew she'd won.

2. Leave the pub in a hurry and go into hiding for a week after her 'friends' immediately contacted the press and radio/tv stations.

3. Hire a solicitor in order to recieve advice on how best to collect her winnings without getting kidnapped/robbed/murdered.

4. On the advices of her solicitor, employ the services of body guards for 24 hour protection.

5. Spend the first of her winnings on upgrading the security of her house, making it the most secure private residence in Ireland (albeit with a constant crowd outside).

So now she can look forward to a life of begging letters and scroungers.

Stupid, stupid, stupid woman. Who gives their lottery ticket to a friend to check the numbers for them anyway?
In this case the phrase 'more money than sense' definitely applies.


and here's what I would do :

1. Tell nobody (except my wife, of course)
2. Pay off my mortgage
3. Hand in my notice
4. Buy a better car
5. Go on a long, long holiday taking in all the continents and, if funds allow, the international space station.

1. Build several homes. One in Hawaii for sure. One in Tahoe somewhere, and other assorted hot spots in the country. Of course, I'd build what they call a "monster home" here, in San Mateo County near the coast.

2. Hide most of my winnings in a secret bank account.

3. Help out immediate family and good friends, not the ones who come out of the fucking woodwork just because you have money.

4. Donate some money to children's causes and the homeless.

5. Live my life as normally as possible, while traveling all over the world.

...I'll go in half on the M&Ms and the women, if you'll invite me!!!!

Buy a new stereo for my car.

1. Send a grip down to NOLA.
2. Make sure my baby is GOOD forever (and his babies too).
3. PARTAY!!!
4. Buy Ma a loft in Manhattan.
5. Build a recording studio.

Carry on as normal and know that I'm financially secure to buy great presents for my friends, wife, children and easily repair the house with the best materials. I wouldn't want to lose the life I was comfortable in, unless it was shit of course, then I'd pull an MC Hammer.

I could sum up plenty of things I would do with the money; to still my selfish and charity-needs.

But most of all... I would break down and cry , not knowing what to do with the money. To me it seems so horrible to not have to work for you money. I kind of enjoy to long for things and finally be able to buy them...
