For me:


1. A house in Whistler (with helipad)
2. All the ski gear I needed (outerwear, skis etc, I have most already but there's always more to want)
3. A helicopter
4. A bugatti veyron
5. Some guy to film me ski all the time.

There's other stuff but that would be my basic list. I did searchbar and was surprised no one has asked this before. Let's hear it!

Buy a new car, get a nice starter house somewhere and put the rest away in investments or something. Buy small things, nothing too extravagant. Just live a worry free life man.

the idea is what do you want to buy...of course most people (myself included) would invest. I know someone who won and you get a financial advisor who tells you what to do with your money...it's more interesting to come up with 5 things.

If we are talking about investments I would build something like woodward at copper only put it in europe maybe or even in england.

i always think about this, and what i would do really depends on how much money i ended up winning. my ultimate goal in life is to open a "trampoline world" similar to one near my house. (bouncefunplex.com) i would either use the money i won to jump start that or open one. if i won enough that i would have more money left after that, i would help advertise for my dads brewery. he has a small brewery with a tap room that has become pretty busy, but all by word of mouth. he has never advertised in any sort of publication, and i think it would be awesome to be able to advertise for him. i would do this over straight up givng him money because i feel him having more customers would make him feel better than just receiving a check from me. if i still had left over money, i would buy both of my parents a car and get the yard at our house fenced in. we have one car at the moment, and with my parents working about an hour from eachother, transportaion has been a rough issue over the last year or so. we also have dogs, and i think it would be easier on my parents now that im in college if we had a fenced in yard so they didnt have to walk them as often and such. any left over money i would invest, go do mission work in third world countries, and invest some more. always need to be secure for the future

Uncle won 300k off a lottery ticket. Took like like 60k in taxes, went out and bought a fifth wheel, snowmobiles, new GMC sierra, newer VW golf for his girls kid (not my aunt), newer grand am for his girls kid, and a monte carlo for his girl, a mobile home / pos car for his sister to live in. Don't forget the fishing boat and 60" t.v.

Oh yeah, they continued to live in a fucking ghetto? He is now from what I hear practically broke.

Let this be an example of what not to fucking do if you won the lottery.

I don't see how he spent $240k in less than 2 years. He has like $50k worth of vehicles to show for it.

A house on Lake Washington
A boat + equipment for it (wakeboards, waterskis, etc)
