Inthewoods: ... There is someone on this site, that I already promised... if I won the big one... they would not be forgotten... ...
I have a family member that also plays Lotto. He spends more than he gets back, but believe in the big win, and won't stop. It's his money, if he wants to loose all, it's none of my business, except that I will be the first person asked for help.
I would buy/make a nice house according to my desires somewhere peaceful. I would spend time decorating it. Then I would start travelling around the world. I would stay here and there, know different cultures, meet different people, try various food and then go back home. I would spend some time in peace and quiet, then start travelling again. I would adopt a lot of animals. I would probably start some humanitarian organization and dedicate my non-travelling time to helping people and animals in need.

I really don't think I will ever win, I just play a few numbers that my family picked out when the lotto first started, and I've been playing those same numbers twice a week ever since... but you do get hooked, thinking, that if you don't buy your tickets, that will be the one time that your numbers are drawn...

Yes he gets frantic, if he can't play that day. He plays about once a week / 2 weeks. I don't believe in any form of gambling.

Colorado has legal gambling... people ride bus's up in the mountains, where the casinos are... and spend the whole day gambling their money away... it's a serious addiction, I don't do that, never have, and have no desire to, what a waste of time and money, right? just the lotto for me, I buy a months worth at a time, all on one ticket, takes 5 minutes.

I have been in casinos, about 3 times, and am lucky at winning, but feels it's a waste of money, as you will hit a loosing streak, as the system is programmed that way. You first win a little bit, then loose a lot.
smiley963: I would save 80% of it. Spend the rest on whatever my kids, animals and I fancy!!!
What will you do?
I would spend a great deal on building a large home for the mentally Ill people and homeless to provide them with the appropriate support. Really specific one on one guidance ..
Having a large sum of money is not all it's cracked up to be. It takes a lot time and energy managing it, protecting it, investing it. You suddenly find out you have many friends you never knew you had and most of them you're left wondering where you know them from or what their name is. You become a target for every scam artist on the planet. Every charity suddenly starts sending you requests for a handout.
I would buy an appartment in a few cities across the world. Let some girl live in it for free. And travel. And maybe write books on how you get rich by working hard
