Just saying:
This should have an "OTHER" button on it because how it stands, you need to choose one or the other. I wouldn't personally pick just one. I would; Make sure the meeds of those I loved are taken care of. That my needs are met..not anything extravigant either. Then invest in property in vacation rentals..in arkansas. To keep money flowing. And create an animal shelter..no kill. Also buy a building to house battered woman. And help them rise again. And if there was anything left, I would invest in the youth programs for the tenn lgbtq services to help them. And the homeless teens to have what they need in our area.

First, I would donate a portion to a few local charities, then a lil something something for my friends and family. I would sell my house and buy one on the intercoatal waterway, complete with dock and boat, and last but not least, spoil my girl with everything she wants, needs, desires and deserves.
see ya later, off to buy a ticket.. haha |

I would definitely cash it and disappear. I wouldn't want a bunch of strangers calling and writing for money. Me and Rufusboi would hit the road. I would love to just travel and live in hotels for a while or rent a place for a few weeks here and there. A few weeks in Greece, a couple of months in Italy
 I would definitely quit my job. The Cunard Line has a round the world cruise. I've never been on a cruise and not sure if I would like it, but I think I could handle sailing around the world for 6 months in a luxury suite You know, with a lottery win I'm going to book the biggest one they have. Oh and I would pay off my student loan and mortgage and hire someone to take care of the cats while we were on the road. Melissa |

I got my tickets!
Hire an accountant and a lawyer, no doubt. Take off somewhere quiet and anonymous so we can decide our next steps. It would definitely include: Early retirement. Family would be well taken care of. Donations to several varied organizations. A little random philanthropy goes a long way. After we buy our new (modest, but kick ass) house, new (practical, but bad ass) cars, yadda yadda .... do some traveling. I sense Europe in the near future and I'd also like to see the rest of the USA. Then, Mare and I would have to decide what business venture to start.

My boss and I were talking about this today. We laughed 'cause we both said we would hire accountants. And we are accountants.

I'd consult a professional before deciding how to cash in.
Then, pay off my house and eliminate debt. Get a new car. Nothing fancy, I only drive Honda. Set up my daughter's college fund. Set money aside for when she is ready for a car. Set up a retirement plan for myself. Make sure my parents are set up for the rest of their lives, including making sure I have what they would need if they wanted to live in assisted living or have live in professional help at some time in their lives. Fund some education scholarships for teen parents or or other deserving group. |

It depends how much. The first thing I would do would be to give money to my friend Kim's parents. She passed away 14 years ago from leukemia and they are still paying her medical bills.
 Under 10 million I would probably still work. Huge powerball type winnings would be different. I would be build a nice normal sized house with a lot of character. It would be unique and have everything top of the line. I don't want or need a mansion. Maybe even build another in a second location, like California or buy a nice apartment in NYC. I'd like to live a relatively normal life. I'm not flashy. I wouldn't want people to know how much money I had just by looking at my lifestyle. I don't know if that is possible but I would try. Oh, I want a maid!!! And a King Charles Cavalier I can name Nigel. |

Buy my parents a new custom built house. Currently own a 2 story, however my dad fell ill and immobile so he is restricted to the main floor, therefor they have turned the family room into their bedroom and both sleep downstairs. I would make everything custom to fit my dads needs and give them back the privacy and space they both so greatly deserve.
I would hire round the clock care for my dad, for some extra help to relieve my mom a bit. I would send my whole family on a Hawaiian cruise, as my dad loves Hawaii but can not fly so this would be his chance to get there again and for everyone to have a nice family holiday. I would go on another vacation with my parents to Myrtle Beach because it was always a dream of my dads. Shopping spree in Paris & New York with my mama <3 Always been a dream of ours Pretty much give everything to my parents to give my dad the best quality of life for his remaining time here and to help my mom out with everything. #BestParentsEver#FamilyLove#HappyMemories |

First I would pay off whatever bills I owe,the pay off my son's house and bills.Then would buy this three story colonial home I wish I lived in then move it out into the country on a couple of thousand acers,I know I could build the same house with todays improvements in building but the workmanship in the house can't be reproduced by many people.I would set up a no kill center for any animal who needed a home plus hire people who really care about them then pay them well for helping our furry frinds.I would travel,go to places I never have been.I know I would donate some to charity( Iwould be very picky about which one).Before I did all this I definatly would have a finace manager with a lawer to protect my holdings.One thing I may try out is sit back then see what happends.

I would pay off all my bills first. Buy my flat and stick a renter in it. Buy the most killer handbag from, Gucci. Hell, I might even buy the whole fall line! Uh buy a huge house in Primrose Hill. Give the interest I make from my winnings to a different charity every month. That one I really like. And mostly I would want to travel the world with my husband and make sure that my family members are set for life. I would want to do good things with my money. I couldn't live with myself other wise.
