What would be the first thing you bought if you won the lottery?
I'd pay off ALL my family's debts and pay my student loans-- before I begin to splurge on clothes and a trip all over the world!
1. Pay off student loans
2. Invest
3. Live off the interest
4. Do a lot of humanitarian work around the world
I'd buy my dream home on a beach in Southern California.
First I'd buy myself a drink to celebrate, and then I'd go out and buy a financial planner to help me figure out what else to do!
My house. I would pay it off and get rid of that large payment. Then I would get a good tax advisor so I could keep as much of it as possible for the family's future.
My first purchase would be a car. After that I would pay off my student loans and give money to my family. Then I'd travel around the world
I would do so much, if I won the lottery. If I won a million, I would:
1. Buy a house in the country with a few acres of land. I would set up an animal sanctuary, and care for sick and injured animals. This has always been a dream of mine.
2. I'd help out my family financially.
3. My daughter has always wanted a little pug dog, so this would be a top priority!
Stock in a few different companies. Then I would pay for plenty of college classes. After college, with the money left over, buy a three bedroom home and put a shed in the backyard for my office area.
first i don't buy lottery but if i won i think i'm gonna invest it
It depends on how much I win.
If it is a small amount, then I would make someone go shopping for all the people I love..have that person.call them and ask them what they want..
If it is a substantial amount then I would fund all the meritorious and innovative projects on my desk.

What would you do if you won a substantial amount of money in any way, lottery or other?I know I would pay my student loans back first and then maybe pay my car off and buy my parents a house if I ever came into a substantial amount of money. I wouldn't have much left after paying student loans,...
