If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money?

[masscity]

At the beginning of each month I buy one ticket for each drawing for the month of all three, Michigan Lotto, Mega Millions and Power Ball.

Averages $52 a month. From memory winning the big ones the odds are 300,000,000 to one, plus or minus.

Winning a million is about 12,000,000 to one and there are about 1600 million dollar winners each year.

Do I think I will win, no, but anything is possible. One thing I know, you can't win if you don't buy a ticket.

I think about all the money I put in the urinals in all the bars I drank in and this little bit of gambling is nothing.

I have two Casinos close, one is 40 miles south and the other is 35 miles east and I have never been there gambling.

One thing you left out is that it also helps to fund your state government so that we all don't pay more taxes since you are voluntarily paying more taxes.
The reason these lotteries were formed was to provide more funds for the government.

Old school, eh?

Why not pay at the pump? Seriously. A credit card that earns cash back, that you pay off each month, costs you nothing, is much more convenient, and actually makes you a little extra money each time you use it. Plus, you don’t have to stand in line behind the scratch off crowd.

I can't say more in a public forum, but there'd be changes made

Win the lottery? ... keep the Kubota L5460 open station after I buy the cabbed version, if or when the dealer can ever find one. Oh yeah, and add on to the shop to make room for both.

I know what your changes are! You'd go out and buy the most expensive TESLA you could get so you don't have to go to the gas station at all any more !!!!!

A tractor for every implement sounds nice.

Very true. We all have to spend some money to help the economy, especially our local businesses.

My older brother, passed, he spent money, but didn't like to. He had a million when he died.

I don't have any heirs, so my plan is to spend what I have and bounce the last check!

I would start a company that restored 50's to 70's classically deigned, small fiberglass speed boats. I love being around the water and boats. This would be an experiment to find out if it is possible to break even restoring boats using economy of scale and a dedicated work force. I would start a youtube channel and document each re-store, what it costed and if I make any profit on resales. The country is littered with older glass boats that anyone can pick up for free.

They're even starting to reappear, as Lake Mead recedes.

I'd be able to fill my gas tank!

In reality, i'd buy every house in a half mile radius and bulldoze them all. Place has become to built up lately. In the past 20 years a dozen farms have gone under and developers built hundreds of houses on the land.
