If I Won the Lottery

September 10, 2008 at 8:29 pm

Isn’t that everyones dream at some time or another? Well, there is a show called The Lottery Changed My Life. So ofcorse after watching that I want to go and buy a ticket right away. I havn’t…yet. :P I am thinking about it though.

It’s amazing how people spend their millions. One guy donates it all now that his wife has passed on. Aparently he won and some time after his wife died and he decided that the money would be better donated. I don’t think there are many people that would donate most of their lottery winnings. Then there is the complete opposite; a girl from London bought her two sisters boob jobs and a lot of nice things for herself.

It seems that everyone on this show buys a new house and a nice new vehicle. There are some that buy nothing but vehicles though. Well, not nothing but, but close to it.

The ones I like hearing about are the ones that are still humble. They don’t go all out, they save and invest instead. Start their own business or something like that.

Anyways… If I won the lottery…. right now, the first thing I would do is get Cory and I our own place. Hire the best lawyer we can get and get custody of Djini (and full custody of Jeremiah if that’s what Cory wanted). I would also pay off both of our trucks…then get rid of them and get something new and with more room for kids. Then I would get a CD at the bank and stick a whole bunch of it in there and just save it. :P

Other than that I can’t think of much else I’d do right now. Maybe get a few nice things for Cory and I. Ya know, toys; motorcycle, MAC computer, maybe other things. I don’t know.

So, what would you do if you won the lottery?

I’ve never bought a lottery ticket. I will probably try and buy one soon. LOL. Who doesn’t want to win the lottery?!

The ones who invest their money are the smart ones. They’re the ones who think about the future. ;)

If I won the lottery, I’d probably donate to the church and charities or set up a foundation. I’d buy my own house and definitely set up my own business. I don’t dwell on it though..because it’s probably never going to happen. LOL.

If I won the lottery right now, I would go out for my friend’s birthday and by myself a nice dress for my birthday and a pair of jeans that do not have holes in. Then I would get myself a small car to practice driving in and then breath a sigh of relief that paying for driving lessons is not a drain anymore and that I will not be in debt during university.

I would definitely buy my own home and purchase a vehicle. I’ve also always wanted to open a shoe store.
But the one thing I’ve always thought about doing is opening a homeless shelter that would have staff but mostly run by the homeless themselves, this way it would enhance their job skills and help them to become more responsible. It’s a far-fetched idea but I really believe it would be perfect.

i would probably be the typical one who would buy a house and a new car. lol.
i would buy my parents a house too since theirs recently burnt down to old 70’s copper wiring.
then i would invest the rest.

very cool post. i liked it.

If I won I would maybe donate some of it (depends how much I have :P ) and travel the world. It’s my one big dream :)

Justin said:

I would like to think that I would spend it responsibly, get a CD, invest, etc. but the fact of the matter is I’d probably end up buying a whole lost of crap I don’t need and pay off my family’s debt (which is a good thing).

lol… It’s definitely luck and coincidence… I don’t believe in the lottery so I never by a ticket… it never works for me anyways… hehe but if I ever won it… i would buy a nice comfy home, and a nice car, and then donate half to charity or else build a charity of my own.

Pauline said:

I don’t think I would ever win. I’m just not lucky. I play those scratch off ones but never win. BUT if I did win, I would pay my tuition and buy a lot stuff for myself. If I had any left I would save it. I’m gonna be honest and say I wouldnt donate it.

Kate said:

If I won the lottery… hmm… I would probably buy a house in the country, finish school, and then start college funds for my nonexisting children. I would love to travel, but my hubby just isn’t into that sort of thing.

I like those stories too, about people being selfless and making a huge difference for someone else. I wish I could be more like that, and although it’s not much of an excuse, I already live way below the poverty line/paycheck to paycheck.

I’d get a MacBook, legit Adobe programs to go with it and all my techgeekary. Then I’d give some to my family, some to charity, go for a degree and move to the UK with my best friend. If I still have anything left, lol… I’d save the rest.

Ranee said:

New cars, new house, the usual. I’d take a trip to Europe for a while then I’d plan an adoption. I’d be an adopting fool!

Andrea said:

Well, for starters, I’d buy myself a condo or something in the city. I’d also buy a good car (cars don’t mean much to me so I’d probably get something economical like a Prius… not that it matters, I won the lottery, but still I hate wasting gas and it would bug me). I’d probably buy nice furniture and a fully loaded Mac Pro. I’d travel on every chance that I got, either back to see my grandma (probably just for long weekends), or elsewhere in the world. I’d finish my education, and pay for it myself. I’d save the rest and try to live my life as normal as possible. I know my boyfriend and I would both go crazy if we didn’t work, so we’d still live fairly normally… ish. Except we’d have nice stuff.
I have this all figured out. Sad, no?

What /would/ I do if I won the lottery? Lol, I never thought about it, but I’d probably rent an apartment and live with a few friends. Get myself a nice car and save the rest buying things I’ve always wanted. x) Isn’t it nice dreaming? xD

Aimey said:

your ideas for spending it are good!

I’d probably just buy a house for my boyfriend my son and I. With a built in hair Salon so I could start my own business right at home. :)

Oooh winning the lottery is certainly a lovely thought lol. If I were to win the lottery I’d probably just buy my family each a home, and travel the world and with whatever left, I’d probably save it lol.
