If you won the lottery today, what would you do with all of the money? It is OK to dream right? I would certainly pay off all of my bills, buy a lot of land, and invest wisely! (I hope)! :)

ooohhh. . . what a great dream that is! Let's see. . . I would sell my house, buy one that is just a little bigger and with more land, and set up trusts to ensure that my children and theirs are well taken care of in the future.

seems we are all on the same page. depending on my winnings, i'd pay off my house, fix it up a bit. need new flooring and some painting, new deck, etc. (or sell it all together if I won millions) then invest the rest to live off the interest and never work again.
oh, and hire a live in personal trainer to get my fat butt out of bed everday and exercise. HA HA

i want a new car. now depending on the lotto winnings that would help me decide what kind of car i'd get. also would like to re-do my kitchen. new countertops, appliances and wood floors. after that, put in savings and go on vacations. we love to travel.

I love the idea of a live in personal trainer. I have a friend who said she would spend all of her money on a personal chef and one who could make the best smoothies in the world! me I would settle for no mortgage and a comfy retirement.

Wow.....not 1 person said anything horsey :confused:

I would keep my current horse but lease him out to a good home, hire a great dressage trainer and look for a great young warmblood for competition...and pay off my bills and invest!

wow, you're right, nobody mentioned horses. seems to me people are more worried about their bills and mortgages. lotto = less money stress and people want to remove the stress. I'm sure taking care of our horses is a given. Fantastic barns, property, trainers, caretakers, new fences, vets on call, etc. are our combined desires.

I want to pay off my bills. I want to pay off my mortgage. I want a new Truck and a sweet matching horse trailer. I want my own arena for practice (if I win millions). I want a flat screen lcd tv. 60 inches will do.

Find some GREAT land a developer has not snatched up with plenty of hardwoods, streams, and knolls and buy it. I think it goes without saying that there would be a nice barn there and plenty of four legged friends. I'd ask my fmaily to join me too!

Same idea. Find something not totally "developed over" and save it! There has to be open land left for our kids to have.
