If I won the lottery.......

[Venturous Randy]

I think I would make two lists of the names of people I have known in my life.

One list would be of people I would want to help.

The other list would be of people I want to get rid of.

So, if I do win, people should think about which list they would be on before they should contact me.

WAYYYYY ahead of ya Randy, I've been keeping that list most of my life!! Oh,,, by the way,,,

[djh3]

I can think of several with a Washington DC address.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy myself a new ridin' mower........one of those big fancy jobs......

[XV1100SE]

Sorry Venturous... winners were in Arizona and Missouri.

 

Still... even though you didn't win....I'd like to be on your "good" list.

[Yama Mama]

I knew that I did not win, mainly because I never bought a ticket.

I personally would never want that much money.

I would of course helped everyone in my family. Given money to charities I support. And then want to travel the country and bring the RSV in my new toy hauler.

Well, I dont have to worry about winning that 5.5 million....

After watching the numbers being drawn last night I didnt have one single number on my ticket..

I think it would be easier for me to walk out my front door and get hit on the head with a coconut..

They say that the odds of winning are only slightly better for buying a ticket then if you don't:stirthepot:

If I would have hit it, the only ones that would have gotten anything would be my kids. Even at that, they would not get enough to live on, just enough to enhance their lives. A trust fund would be set up that they would get yearly payouts of a limited amount until they reach 55 years old. Then it would increase until they reach 62. Everyone else can pi$$ off. Relatives turn into vampires who want to suck the last drop of blood out of you when it comes to money. Besides, I have a relative on my wifes side that came into a huge amount of cash. I have never seen a dime. Call me mean or whatever else, but most poeple are broke after a few years even when they have multiple hundreds of millions of dollars. You win, you gotta be mean and protect what you have. I know I would build a nice platform in my garage for my work toolbox. I would put a nice rope around it. Real pretty and all. Everytime I thought about doing something stupid with the cash, I would go out and look at that toolbox and think to myself "this is what your going to have to do if you run out of money" then I would rethink if I want to do something stupid or not.

If I won the lotto, I would first set my and Nina's kids up with a new house, new car(s), and a bank account that would pay them monthly for as long as I could.

 

Then I'd take Nina and the kids on an extended holiday ... cruise with many stops.

 

Then I'd have our dream home built and retire in it, doing some of the things I've always wanted to do but never had the money.

 

Finally, I'd give as much as I could to various charities that are there to help the homeless and destitute people in our country.

[Trader]

I would of course helped everyone in my family.

 

Of course you mean VR Family ...right "sister"?

[bill in mn]

If I won I would apply it towards my Visa bill and see what the balance was.
