What would you do if you won the 20 million lottery?

[ks8829]

If I won the lottery and I did not have to work anymore I would do the following below:

1) Put money into a college trust fund for my kids and brother and sister's kids and maybe my good friends kids also.
2) Join a golf club like the Olympic Club.
3) Play golf everyday or everyother day.
4) volunteer at the First Tee program.
5) Buy my mom and my wife's family a new multi-unit building with an elevator so the family can live there.
6) Start a company and employ my family and friends.
7) Take more vacations with the family.

Not a whole lot different than right now. Other than pay off the Mortgage. I dont want to be one of those lottery winners that ends up bankrupt in 5 years.

1) Start a scholarship fund for high school students.
2) Build a state of the art computer lab and provide every student in my town with a laptop.
3) Create a trust fund for both of my boys.
4) Go to Italy and Russia, followed by two weeks on a safari trip in Kenya.
5) Purchase a condo on the beach for my mom.
6) This would be my favorite. Set my alarm clock for 5AM and proceed to fling it as far out the window as I can.

1.) Pay off all my debt
2.) Give my parents and my brother $100,000 each
3.) Buy a new Ford F-150 and a new Ford Mustang GT
4.) Put the money in the bank, live off of the interest and play golf every day

Design, build, and run my own golf course. This has always been a dream of mine. I figure with that kind of capital I could get a decent start.

[CG031]

I'd give everyone at this site 10,000 dollars, because I'm cool like that.

[MunkeyGolfer]

Invest, donate, help family members in need and play more golf

[Harry Longshanks]

Buy my parents a big house in the nicest neighborhood, 2 new cars, and a checking account with enough money so that my dad could retire.

Pay off my student loans.

Beyond that, I'm not sure.

[Craig Mac]

lots of stuff

[DDBowdoin]

1.) pay off all of my debt, and the debt of my family
2.) buy a house for myself
3.) two nice cars
4.) join a nice golf club, probably Brookline TCC

wouldnt go crazy with the money though, would probably still work but not full time - thinking a golf course

[FlopShotArtist]

1.) Set aside money for me and my brother to go to college.
2.) Buy a MANSION.
3.) Buy a mansion for my parents.
4.) Buy high-end cars for parents.
6.) BUY a Lamborghini in cash - no payments.
7.) Get a whole set of dream golf clubs.
8.) Play TPC Sawgrass every week.
9.) Get a home theatre system in my mansion.

And a whole bunch of others.

As soon as I can live comfortably on interest generation, I plan to do just that. Of course, my expenses would increase from more golf. I think someone on this board said he works 4 days a week and plays golf the extra day. That's something I plan to do before I'm 30 (for reference, I turned 25 last month), independent of lottery.

Oh, and I'd be surprised if I won the lottery. I never even buy tickets!

Find a way to drive every car featured on Top Gear.

Buy a modest house.

Buy my Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Turbo, Cadillac STS

Go full time on the mini-tour circuit and continue to work up through the ranks.

Invest for retirement.

Play the World Series of Poker a few times.

[CosmosMpower]

Do 2 chicks at the same time, I figure a guy with a million bucks could pull that off.

Seriously though I'd probably be trying to work my way up the club racing ladder and get into SCCA pro racing, maybe MX-5 cup and eventually ALMS.
