If I won the lotto I have some plans. For the time being I would continue working and not change much in my life. The government would take between forty and fifty percent. I would choose the annuity payout option. The reason for this is because if I get stupid and blow the first years payment I get 29 more years to do better. With a one lump sum, when it is gone its gone. I would pay off my house and all my debts. I don't have much debt so there would be lots left. I would pay off my mothers house which would allow her to retire. I would buy my grandmothers house for full market value and give her a lifetime lease for a dollar and instructions to give me all the bills of maintenance. I would also give her a fund to allow her to do what ever she wants for the rest of her life. Anyone that has helped me in life would be rewarded for that help. I would pay for an education for my older two kids and purchase houses for them to live in. They would also get trust funds for later in life. I want them to learn responsibility and the value of work. I would do the same for my girls when they get older. I would invest in rental properties and land. I would also purchase a full service new car dealership, and also a salvage yard. I would then build a house with lots of land for a dream garage and warehouse. I would then restore all the cars I currently own. I would then buy one of every car than left an impression upon me while growing up. I would help support some small local charities and fund my bid for the white house.

Well I went in to a work pool with 85 other people, we all put in $10 and bought 860 lotto tickets. Our winnings totalled......drum roll please.........$79. Yes we managed to turn $860 into $79. We just rolled that in to 79 lotto tickets for tonights drawing. It was a fun time though day dreaming about the company just shutting down our office building if we won lol.

If I won I would buy a beach house. Spread a little to some family members. Bank the rest and live off the interest. I was thinking I would still work, maybe a fun job and without much care about my work performance haha. Maybe I would deliver pizzas for awhile, work in a bowling alley for awhile, work at Chipotle for awhile....just float around doing random jobs without a care in the world, just having a good time with the experiences.

I would have kept a few million and given the rest away. I would have started buying houses and redoing them and then giving them away to people here in cedar Rapids who lost everything in the flood a few years ago. There's still a lot of people who haven't recovered. pretty much a whole part of the town is still empty because recovery has been so slow. I would have helped as many people as I could.

I'd do some updating to the house and cut down some trees on our property. Build a bigger/deeper garage and I'd buy every dream car I have ever wanted.

Well we turned our 79 lotto tickets into $4 now. I think we've reached the end of the road. There's a lesson about gambling here somewhere. $860 --> $79 --> $4 lol

I'd buy a giant Slurpee, and do a RWD and Manual conversiton to the Monte, with an LS1 in it. Then put the rest in a savings account.
