depends on how much I won, if I had won the powerball jackpot I would have given huge amounts to charities like St. Jude's, March of Dimes, etc. I would help out my mom get a good house so she doesn't have to pay rent forever, I'd help my dad however I could, as for me first I'd pay off all my debts especially all my student loans and car note, then I would take a nice trip to venice, Paris, Rome. Maybe some other traveling. Open up a business that way I wouldn't have to work for someone else forever. Buy myself a nice home that I could live in for the rest of my life. Then I would put money up in savings bonds, college funds, etc. for my children so that they will be set when they get older. I'd definately do some shopping, but I'd also save a lot of it for living expenses and burial expenses so I am set rest of my life.

Tough year, look at at it as one day at a time, make each day special.\n\nFor instance, if someone came and told you would die tomorrow/next week/next year - what would you do?\n\ndraw up a list - and see where that takes you...\n\nits always better to be cheerful than morose about it\n\nlast year - two of my uncles died, I scraped through an exam and didn't get the expected pay rise\n\nthis year - I go with the knowledge that my diligent work would stand up as examples of the legacy left behind by my uncles...who taught me above all integrity and kindness in all dealings

buy a house, buy a car, donate to charity, and invest the rest

I would begin by donating money to my church.  then i would pay off my house and all my bills.  i would then put part of the money back for a college fund for my daughter, my neice and a couple of their close friends who might not get to go otherwise.  i would put some in the bank for retirement, then i would open up a childrens home. it would have everything a child could ever want.  they could live there until they graduated from college or got a job to be able to support themselves. they would always be welcome back even after they have grown, just like in a real home.  and of course, i would probably quit my job so i could be there 24 7.  i would hire people to teach them about different life skills and try to be the family they never had.  but i dont think i would need quite that much money to do that.  so... girl scouts and boy scouts and the salvation army and other places like that would probably get a chunk of the money too.

If I was given one million dollars right now, I'd invest most of it: some for my son's education, some for retirement. I'd also buy a new car - we could really use a new, safe car that gets good gas mileage. \n\nI'd have a little fun with the money, too. Some of the money would be used for a fun vacation with the family.\n\nFinally, I would hope to give some of the money to a charity I believe in.\n\nIf possible financially, I might quit my job and go back to writing screenplays and books full-time. But my family's financial future would have to be secure for me to do that.

write an individual note to all my loved ones..family, friends, Pastor and future grandchildren i will never get to meet.\nI would call my parents.\nThen I would then crawl into bed with my young children and read them EVERY book i had told them i didn't have time for, and play EVERY game i told them i didn't feel like playing...Sing EVERY silly song I hadn't wanted to sing before... The last words that i would say, would be the ones I want them to remember forever..." Mommy loves you both JUST as you are...and I will always be proud of WHO you both are. i love you".  And that said, I would be ready to go...

Live every day as if it is your last. Leave no regrets. Do what you can in your very small life to make the future a better prospect. Do not be a doom sayer as this leads to depression. Never give up and always smile no matter what.

Good Q.. Get that brain ticking...\n\nI would go out AND LIVE LIFE! I would have drinks with my friends and family.. Get on a lot of drugs and just have fun.. Nothing to loose and nothing to gain :) Hell why not go out and get 1 last shag while im at it lol. :D

I would say have a very expensive dinner with Krug champagne. Oh.. the joy. Then you can donate the rest if you must ¬¬\n\nMake that rosé champagne.

That depends, if you're talking millions I would take it all at once. taking a payout is too risky, the state might go bankrupt, or I might die before I get it all. I don't' know about any other state, but in Maryland if you die before you get all of your money the state keeps the rest, so give me my check! oh, of course I would pay off all debts and take care of family, but the very fist thing I would do is disappear for a while and figure out how to spend the rest.

Lump Sum as you have no idea what the tax laws could change to in the future........  First thing i would do is to set up a 1 million dollar trrust to send ANY child related to me now or in the future to go to collegte only restriction is that they would have to finish thier degree, then they would be debt free failure to do so would require them to pay it back.  second thing give 1.5 million to my brothers and sisters and cousins... here you go pay off your bills buy a new car, house what ever but,,,, this is all there is you can not have anymore .

Sit back, watch your game, kiss half of your salary and your pension bye bye along with the house you live in, hope you like little one room apartments and be prepared for your children to hate you since you care so little about them.\nOh and get a vasectomy.
