Pay off debt (cc's & house), give my church a new roof, new furnace, etc. (5 million dollars would handle all their 150-year-old building's maintenance issues and leave plenty left over), buy a great big parcel of land and build a nice house in the mountains next to a national park (donate the conservation easement to the Nature Conservancy), probably invest the rest...
Everyone who is dear to me, that has made a difference in my life would retire. Id pay off the homes of my friends and family. I would move to that cabin in the middle of the woods. Buy a summer home in the Caymens. I would look for ways to give from all the investments I was earning from. Making an impact on people who are in the same circumstances as my pre lottery life.
I sound like Miss America.....where's my crown??!?! hehehehe
dept, house ,car ,start a bussiness ,put some in the bank for my son ,go on a shopping spree , give some to my church ,start a shelter for homeless famlies in my city ,me and my husband will take a vacation beach and lots of sun
I want to buy a farm to find a way to make a permanent home for street people. If their surroundings are stable and away from the environment that gets them in trouble, therapy might be more effective for their problems.
First things first I would go on a massive shopping spree and replace my whole wardrobe. Then I would head off to a car dealership and buy myself a new vehicle. I would buy a new house as well.
I would give some to charity, some to family and friends and make sure they are well taken care of.
I would also want to start my own charity and help others as much as possible.
