What would you do if you won the lottery?

You just found out that you won the lottery... enough money that you will never have to work again. What is the first thing you would do with your new found wealth? Or... is there anything that you think most people would do that you wouldn't?

I would start looking at homes around Dana point, I would get some much needed dental work. Change cars,nothing more expensive than a CTS. I also start going to the forclosure auction because there is a lot of stuff out there that is cheap right now, I am seeing bank owned and auction homes cheaper than they have been in years. I would want to get quite a few properties if I hit a big jackpot.

Is the lottery really that big that you can be sure of never having to work again?

If it really is...

I guess first thing I'd do is breathe a sigh of relief that I have a level of financial security. And second I'd organise some kind of a big celebration!

Any major expenditure or investment decisions aren't going to be among the first things I'd do... I'd take my time about them.

I would definitiely continue to work in some sense, but the options would be different because how much anything paid wouldn't be a factor. It would purely be a question of what is going to give me the most satisfaction.

I have my ideas on that, but again... I wouldn't rush in, I'd do my homework first!

There is a lottery called the "Mega Millions" which can reach upwards of $400 million.... which I think would count as 'never work again' kind of money lol :)

$400m would definitely do it. :)

Not only that, with that amount of money, there would be a whole lot of different options to consider about what you'd like to do with your life.

Well Ive always wanted to launch a singing career, not really for the money but I love attention and preforming is my favorite thing to do. So instead of working my way up from nothing I would just pay someone to put me on a record label. With money comes power and I think I would have enough power to promote myself to become a pretty well know celebrity. But I guess I gotta wait a year cause I'm only 17 and can't play till next year.

I would pay all my bills then i would give some to my mom and dad that have
helped me so much over the years and then put some in the bank and donate
some to a good cause.
