Thread: If you hit the jackpot, what would you use it for?

  1. #1

    If you hit the jackpot, what would you use it for?

    Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm just trying to come up with different ideas to ask.
    I'd 1st pay off all my debt, then take care of family & close friends, then buy a house with tons of land for the many, many, many homeless animals & give money to people who care for animals!!!

    I'd pay off my mom's debt, buy a place with lots of land for myself, the dogs, my siblings, my mom and grandma, start a rescue, spend some on tuition for university and invest some.

    I would also pay off debts. Probably buy a new home with some land. My big dream right now is to buy a big SUV and travel trailer or motorhome and do lots of traveling with my girls. I would also try to help out close family and friends. It all depends on how big that jackpot is...lol

    First I'd quit this stinkin job . then I'd purchase a nice house, not huge but nice, have it decorated. Buy a car I really want. Then I'd travel probably for a week, two times a year as I can't stand to be away from my guys. Besides helping out my family, I'd live off of it, assuming it was enough to do so. The main thing is I don't want to work. I just want to volunteer.

    it depends how big the jackpot is...if it were alot , like 36 mil or somethings then i'd:
    first set aside more than enough money for me to get through college and have an apartment near camus adn buy the things i need and not have to work. then i'd buy my mom a house, then i'd set aside money that i can't get to until i'm 30(when i have my head screwed on right ) and then i'd do the same for my brother and sister only i probly wouldn't give them as much. then i'd put it in the bank to gather interest for a while, then when i'm older i can open my own shelter/farm/vet clinic. and of course i'd buy things for my close friends and stuff.

    oh yeah...we can't forget that 6 month trip to the bahamas

    I'd probibly invest a large part of it in funds that would provide for me for the rest of my natural *and some of my unatural * life. I'd pay off all my debts and my parents debts and I'd probibly end up kicking some to my brother to pay his debts off too. I'd more than likely buy my parents retirement house *they plan on building a farm to rescue chickens and other abused livestock, its a big problem!* and buy my brother a nice home for his family. Then its me me me me me!!! I'd buy a shelter, not only one that caters to dogs and cats but one that also handles reptiles, birds and small animals *too often I see critters get PTS just because no one wants to "deal" with them* I know lots of people willing to voulenteer!
    Ugh, to eliminate a headache, I'd end up buying my mom-in-law a car so I don't have to hear the hubby whine about fixing her cars all the time. I'd have to buy my dad a Jaguar roadster *his dream car* and me...I'd keep the one I have except it would actually have a PAINT JOB! I'd move to Oregon and plant roots there, maybe as a side income *all the proceeds fund the shelter* Id open up a nightclub .

    Ok so Ive thought about this...living in Nevada you always think a little bit about wining it big. Too bad all the jackpots go to tourists lol. Hey, someone come out here, Megabucks is due to hit soon and thats like an 18 million dollar prize!

    the lotto here is up over 100 million I'm playing - hey you never know right! Another thing I would do is give enough money so that, Op. Kind. here could build an additional cat wing to take in more cats. Or I was thinking of starting my own rescue.

    I'd pay off my debts, then give a nice amount of money to my family. I'd buy a big house and a few more kitties and maybe a dog. Then of course I would donate some to the shelter then put some of the money in savings.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Oh, I would buy about 3000 acres. I would pay a lot of money to have some men build the perfect dream house the way my mom, dad, and I would tell them. I would have my own 3 story barn with 20 stalls and my 2nd bedroom upstairs with purple carpet and lazers, lava lamps, just a really cool hangout. I would have about 4 horses or more, a heard of sheep, A LOT of cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, and a lot more. I would have my own indoor and out door arena built. I would have awesome 30 mile trails going everywhere. I would have very huge ponds everywhere for the ducks, horses, and cattle. I would have an animal rescue, and I would pay the local rescue people, and people that need money for their Animal Rescue. Ok, I'll stop now before I get into my tack for my horse, and grooming and automatic waterers and feeders.. Ok, I'll stop.
