If you were to win the power ball
« on: April 06, 2013, 12:18:11 am »
If you won on the power ball. In what ways do you think it would change your life? And what would you do first if you won? Also would you continue to work or would you quit your job?

I don't think it would change my life much.  I know I would help many charities around the world not just here.  I would leave all my money to my kids too.

I would make sure all my loved ones felt the goodness of the winnings for sure.

I don't think I would be crazy and go out and get diamond studded flipflops or anything. I would make sure my children were taken care of and I would donate to the same charities that I do now but on a much larger scale  ;D

It would change my life in the way of not having any bills because I would pay them all off and never make another bill again. It would allow me to have the home of my dreams not some silly pretentious mansion but a good solid home that I could afford to keep up. In a nice neighborhood, of course. I could provide a good financial future for myself and my family and I would not invest a drop of it in anything risky. Last but not least I would like to help a few families have a home as well. That's what I would do with the money.

Some for the wife and me.  The rest to my church.  That simple.    :angel12: :angel12: :angel12:

Geez, if I were to win the PowerBall, it would help a lot.  At the moment, I still live at home. So the first thing I would do is buy my own home and furnish it.  I would also buy a car so it would be easier for me and him to get around.  The rest would be put for my son's education.  I know it doesn't sound too exciting but I never really needed much to be happy!!!

I'm not much for the expensive high life style, i'd probably just invest some of it, save some of it, and then take care of the family members that need some helping getting back on their feet.

I can't imagine winning that much money really, I can already live pretty comfortably and happy off $30,000 a year. I'm single of course.

Hello :wave: I don't think money would change me as a person but my life style and goals would be different. I would stay in my job for two more years then I would quit and open my own business. I would use the business to give money to many charities. :angel11: I would also help bad neighborhoods turn to good neighborhoods. Then I would put some of the money in a CD. Lastly I will enjoy the money responsibly. :thumbsup: :) ;D

tithe to the church, then help out my dad and brother. Do what must be done on my home and then find some charties of my choice to give too.  First though would change my phone number so moochers could not call.

Well, there's no doubt that winning a significant amount of money would change anyone's life but, for me, I would definitely donate some to charity, take care of my family and make a difference for the poor animals that get trapped in shelters and sometimes even get euthanized.  I don't think I would quit working cause then I would get bored!!!!

Depends on how much I would win, let's say a lot.  I would pay off my bills and my siblings bills.  I would buy us a large house, new cars, I would do the same for my siblings and my 2 best friends.  I would buy about 25 acres of land and build a large no kill shelter for animals with a fully staffed hospital in the grounds.  I would have my family and 2 best friends work there in administration with a salary of one million a year.  But that won't ever happen, if they sold only 2 tickets, I guarantee I would not have the winning one!

1. Quit job.
2. Buy a bigger nicer house (and move to another state)
3. Buy a new car.
4. Share the money with my immediate family.
5. Go on my dream vacation.
6. Live happily ever after.

Definitely not be so worried about wasteful spending. I think I would still work to just because I like what I do.

Id still work...I would just try to open my own business.  The first thing Id do is buy a house.  Maybe a new car.  Save the rest or invest.
