WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF...you won the lottery...

[odm]

Well I would have to do something for other people...starting closest to me...

For myself, I would wish to live detached near a woodland. NOTHING GRAND... I HATE grandeur, I would want everything normal thank you...no silly chandeliers and all that rubbish...just very nook and cranny country style, with lots of garden and trees. I would like to read, paint, plant and study nature and astronomy and basically become one and in tune with the universe. I am a simple type of person.

Would all that money be wasted on me??? PROBABLY, BUT, I would make sure it had a good use around me and that certain institutions benefited. I would want to think very hard about which and contribute where I knew they would definately benefit. I would also get the greatest pleasure out of making financial gifts to poor people secretly. I would hate to be a known benefactor to anyone. I find that kind of thing ugly.

I would want to help the PDSA and Greyhound societies too.

I would most certainly wish to make my family secure but not in a flash and disgusting way.

I think overall money should bring a peace to your life, but it should not encourage you to be outrageously ostentatious which I find revolting and nasty. I also think it would give me the divine right to wear wellies 24/7....whadjamean?? I LOVE wellies, most comfortable practical footwear on the planet of man....oh alright then....


so comeon, whats the numbers....

If I won the lottery, first I would have a heart attack ;D


What I would do with the money:
I would give some to charity, some to my mum,dad and family.
Put some in the bank, and the rest I would have a lovely shopping spree with ;D

Well all that depends on how much I would win ;D

[premierscfc]

I'd spend it on drink, women and gambling. I'd probably waste the rest.

[silenthill]

I would pay off all my debts, move to Canada, buy a house and build my own animal sanctuary to take care of sick and unwanted animals

[remaha]

Let's see now . . . there's over a thousand FAKERS . . . and assuming I win about £3 million . . . that makes you all about £2,700 richer . . . and if you believe that, you'll believe anything

Hummmmmmmm First I would put it in a very high interest account. Being very prudent with money .

Then I would think a lot about what charity I would give to, I dont give to a lot as some of them are corrupt. I know this as I have had a lot to do with charity work.

The kind I give to are the ones that I know will get the goods or money to the people that really need it. Also cancer research and probabally Child Line. One I would give to in the third world is one which I have raised money for Hope Builders in Uganda. Very worthy one.

I would have to think hard about what I would give my children as well, maybe some kind of trust they cant touch untill they are 35 or something, does that sound mean? well my son would "smoke" it and my daughter would buy herself a load of computer equipment

For myself, I would pay off my mortage, it's only small anyway buy the rest of the land round the house knock down the house and have a new one built. Upgade my car, I would still buy the same type. Mine is small and it does 74 miles to the gallon, it's a Suski.

god I sound really boring
Oh one thing I would buy myself would be a new Canon SLR, they cost a bomb.

Hi DT what car is that again is it a Susuki and if so whats the model its great on fuel ? innit??

[odm]

;D ;D ive bought my ticket for tomorrow...

[celticsky]

Weird just saw this after I posted same question on questions, questions, questions thread ;D

If I won the lottery....like a BIG HUGE amount, firstly I'd pick myself up off the floor, have a strong sweet mug of tea...good for shock, then book a weeks holiday in Tenby to think carefully about what to do next, but I'd probably pay off all my debts...if there was any left I'd give some to my family and my partners family, get a car( a little car) and take my test until I passed ;D
Then buy new house, not big or flashy just a local house , give some money to Marie Curie Hospice , George Thomas and UK Brain Tumour Society, then I'd book cruise to Alaska and visit British Columbia, then I'd go Shopping ;D
