If You Won $117 MILLION on a Lottery, What Would You Do With It? (page 6)

Yerusalyim

10% to my church, set up in a trust of course. Square away first my kids, then my folks, then my siblings. Travel the world...first class....Italy would see a lot of me...oh, and try to bring an industry back to my home town...jobs to keep the youth there so they don't have to move away.

Buy the WTBTS and then have it destroyed.

First off, I would disappear. Only a few people would be in touch.

Make sure my parents and my ex are taken care of financially and never have to worry about money again.

Help out some of my friends by financing their homes, small businesses, etc. (including JWD, Simon would have a 'cost-free' board :D)

Next, set up a foundation to help others. Hire some altruistic folks I know who work in finance to run it. Sign all the cheques MYSELF, so I know where the money is going.

Spend the rest of my life travelling and visiting friends all over the world, working with my foundation, and pursuing education, art and music.

The nice thing about this story is that the winner was a nice lady. Not one bad word about her by anyone. Of course, who would wanna say something bad now? Just in case....

The Jackpot was 290 mil. Sucks she only got 117 out of that.

Anyway, I would pay off my mortgage, buy a new sports car for my hubby, his dream car, buy a new dream house, buy houses for my two grown children, pay of my sisters debt and buy her family a house, maybe even give her a million, set up trust funds for all my grandchildren and my 2 year old. Hmmmm, I would get a swimming pool in my backyard of my new dream house, I would start my bed and breakfast dream job. ( I always wanted to do that) Of course, I would hire other people to run it, I would just take care of the herb and flower gardens and decorate.

Gosh...I could just dream about that all day. Me and my hubby were dreaming about it the night of the drawing. We played five bucks....Hey can I get disfellowshipped for that?

Start a Rum Distillery in Las Vegas. Direct, Star, and Distribute my own Porn Series. Give half to my Church so that I wont burn too much.

well i would have a lot to spend on myself (like i'm worried about that)because non of my JW family would accept any money or gifts that were procured as part of something so ungodly as the lotto. i would travel the world and hope they would at least keep the post cards i sent them. also i'd have to write a will pretty qwik cos i like fast cars!

I always fantasized that the best way to exit the dubbies would be to win a gezillion dollars on the lottery and have one's face plastered all over Page One of the local newspaper, preferably with a headline that says ``Local JW minister hits the jackpot!" or something similar!

....I'd just give all my money away. Yeah, right.

I wouldn't enter a $117 million draw...I don't WANT that much loot. I'm not entering anything that has everyone knowing how much you just hauled in.

A $11 mill pot though that gets little attention...I'm there. I buy a house, beef up the Badger Pup Scholarship fund, take a sabbatical to get my Doctorate, splurge a bit (maybe $15,000 worth), Low risk most of the rest. I don't tell ANYONE...
