Study after study shows that $1m + lottery winners are broke within 1-5 years.

But, with that being said, I would put my "Donald Trump" hat on, find me the perfect piece of dirt, in the perfect location, and build the exact course that I had always dreamed of.

yeah, cause most people that win the lotto aren't of a class enough anyway to know what to do with any extra money, much less $1 million +. they end up doing stupid things like taking everyone they know to disney world and end up spending $100k in a week. or something else stupid like buying a golf course.

*however*, you win the mega milions when its up near $300,000,000... then buy the stupid course.

Ahh I to have had the same dream, there is a links course on the west coast of Ireland called carne, it is the rawist most beautiful course I have ever had the pleasure to play, I would love to have it all to my self.
If any of u guys ever get to Ireland " this is the one must play golf course" I reccommend .

Suggestion for after you buy your golf couse with lotto winnings:

Have a Sand Trap Tourney, and allow your cyber-pals to play for free at the grand opening. Think of all the free publicity you will get!

I think our course is going to foreclosure auction and might sell for about $400K.  That's not too shabby of a price with a lot of potential.

My Lotto dream is not to own a golf course. My dream is to quit my job and to make golf my new "Job". I would go to the World Golf Hall of Fame, get professionally fitted with a brand new set of clubs and take at least 3 lessons a week in an attempt to drop a minimum of 10 strokes from my game.

I would make it my business to play the top 100 courses you can play as ranked by one of the national mags.  Then I'd do it again, and again, and again..........
