If I won the lottery right now, I would:

* pay off all the debts in my family (mortages, cars, student loans etc)
* buy my parents a house up here so I could see them whenever I wanted
* buy a 3 bdrm townhouse in the area. I love my apt but space is an issue. I need a huge closet and space for all my handbags
* buy a Mini Cooper

After that I think I would give money to family members so they could live comfortably (not necessarily over the top) & donate to charity.

I'd probably quit my job and travel. I used to think that I would go nutty not being in the corporate world, but I really enjoyed my 3-month paid vacation when I got laid off before finding a job and now I think I could probably not work and still do good things - like devote more time to the alum association & the junior league

Pay of all my debts (student loans, credit cards, etc)
Put enough aside to pay off grad school so i dont have to take out any more loans
Set up trust funds for all the little ones in my life
Splurge on myself a little
Hook my parents and siblings up with a little something
Save the rest for a rainy day

Pay off my student loans and credit cards.
Pay the rest of this year's rent on my apartment.
Shop for a two bedroom condo in this area--I'd like to stay here indefinitely, and it seems like a good time to buy.
Pay off my mom's debts.
Set up a trust for my little brother to go to school on.
Contribute to the Tri Sigma Foundation, my alma mater, and my church.
Save quite a bit. Live on the interest. Work for a living, but enjoy quality things (within reason) in my home.

- pay off debts
- buy a car (nothing crazy either, probably a 2010 Honda Civic or something lol)
- pay off the mortgage on my grandma's house
- buy my parents a house
- give my brother money for his children
- take a crazy, multi-continental vacation with my boyfriend!

I'd give money to my aunt and uncle as I recently found out her cancer medication is costing them $4000 a month, and they have insurance.

Put money away for my graduate degree.

Start my B&B/goat and sheep business in Alaska

Take the family to Norway.

Pay for my cousin's tuition/childcare since she got pregnant and dropped out of college, and we're afraid she'll never go back.

Negro, you are trippin:cool:

I would buy an Aston Martin. They are so cool.

If I had won in the lottery, I would do the same things like the Barenaked Ladies in this video:

First I would set up a trust so that no one would know my identity. Secondly, I would pay off my bills. I would pay for that final quarter of graduate school. Buy clothing. Purchase a Merecedes, style not know yet. Momma has been asking for $1000. I would give her that and more. Set up an educational trust for my nieces and nephew. Contribute to my college. Donate to charities. Make a donation to a religious organization.

DEAD! :D

I guess that means you do know a little somethin' somethin' about the Elise.:D

Yeah, just a little;)

I would go shopping for dayyyyyys! And then do sensible things like pay bills and such.

Mmmm....I wonder if I could conveniently drop the news that I'm a lottery winner to the schools I'm applying? Because trying to beef up my Ph.D. apps is wearing me out, lol. I've never been one for bribery, but if it would take some of this pressure off, I'd surely think about it....:cool:
