Say you would do the job of whatever the job is that you are applying for. \n\nThe question is an old career finding tools. What ever you would answer to the question is was you should do for your career. Example(if you would build wood furniture, you should be a wood worker) etc

If I survived the heart-attack from winning I would initially put the money into a short-term fixed bank account (eg. 3 or 6 months) while I decided - to not only get the highest interest rate but to stop me spending it stupidly - only fools rush in.  After 3 or 6 months I would probably have a more clear view on what to do.  \n\nSome of the things I would do may include:\nmore lotto tickets\nreal estate\nshares\ndonate to charity\nfinancially secure my family & relatives\nparty hard for a couple of weeks with friends\nworld backpacking - spending months (or years) at a time in different countries\n\nThey may say "Money can't buy happiness"\nBut I think it would come pretty close to it....\n\n(",)

I have had a dream six years ago, that I still think about even today.  Was it a dream?  It never came true.\n\nThe dream was that they had a lottery (multi-state) but the minimum ticket was $100.00.  I had a spare $100.00 so I bought a ticket.  Then a week later the lottery headquarters ran the numbers, I found that I won it.  Thinking that the prize was over $50 million, I went to the state lottery headquarters.  Boy, was I surprised when the lottery director said it was after taxes -- $1 Trillion dollars.  Now I am the richest person in the world, richer than Bill Gates of Microsoft.  That's when I woke up.  I been thinking since then on how would I spend it?

i would raise a contract....in my place of employment we won the national lottery a few years ago, there were 15 members and we would have got £330,000 each thats if the bastard responsible hadnt been pocketing the money himself and not putting the numbers on each week, we couldnt sue because we had no contract with him! it works both ways.

Well most importantly I'd make sure my wealth lasts so I can keep helping for longer.\nI'd probably want to make a bit more before I used a considerable chunk to help society.\n\nI wouldn't give to any charities though. I think they are kind of self-defeating. I would like to help make my hometown somewhere worth visiting.\nI would save small shops and things like that. Try to stop the big corporations taking over.\nGive to the smaller cities (in Britain where I live) and help them to get more things and to compete with London. London gets too much and it's not fair on people who live nowhere near it.\n\nI would help fund things like skateparks and independant cinemas and youth hostels so people can travel about the country on a budget.\n\nI don't see much point in giving thousands of pounds to a charity for a rare disease which is only going to benefit about 10 people across the whole country. Or to cancer research or something when people are going to continue to smoke and then wonder why they got lung cancer. Then they need to be treated on the NHS.

my home church.\nthe high school scholarship in memorial of my wife (a teacher).\nhospice care and/or cancer research.\nanimal shelter.\nmy college fraternity.\n\nGood, thought provoking question...  When thinking of lottery winnings, I usually think of paying off stuff and/or taking vacations.  Looking at it from this angle is more like 'paying-it-forward'...  Thanks.

People are funny with their replies. I've done many accurate readings for my family and friends. I never ask for anything in return or do it to get lottery numbers. That would be wrong and a misuse of everything. So there you go. Do what you believe.

after i pay off my bills, my parents bills, my in-laws bills, give a bunch to my church, take everyone out and i buy a nice 5 bdrm home in Oregon then i would give a bunch to a charity for sick kids/people.  after all i would help my family and friends first, the people who have helped me and supported me thru my life.  but i would want to be sure to give to a charity to change the lives for the better of people that i don't know too!  =)

I would probably just go out to a poor developing country, maybe in Africa, and try to invest it in the infra structure of the country, maybe try to start a "free educational program" for any family supporting individual. Maybe I will just go there and try to relieve some suffering, in any of its forms, ask the people how would the money would keep itself being reinvested so that there could be some actual "change" among the people that were suffering.
