Depends on how much it is.  Pay off all my bills first.  Then set up a  trust fund to give me monthly income.  Help family with some (or all) of their bills.  Give some to Charity.

I already have a lot and a floor plan both picked out for the house my wife and I would build.  Nothing extravagant, but a bit larger size with a few other amenities than what we have now.  It would also be in a place where you seldom hear any gunshots, but if you DO hear them it is probably from hunters in the distance rather than the thugs a few blocks away.

Significant bills would be paid off and if it was a large enough jackpot, I would put in my notice at work and would start volunteering my time elsewhere.

i would built a home and let my kids have the one i own now buy a new car go on vacation and put the rest in the bank
I would definitely help my family pay off houses or vehicles...start a college fund for my nephews...open up a cat shelter...leave my husband...he's mean

Speaking of winning the lottery ....... I stumbled across this bingo site the other day.... long story short I ended up adding money to an account $15.00 no big deal right.  Then I played a few games and won!! I won a $1000!!! I couldn't believe it! I never win anything just saying. Then I went to collect my winnings of course and you have to jump through hoops to get it ...... meaning I have to send them copies of the card I signed up and added money to the account a copy of my drivers license and a copy of my current utility bill.   Then I have to wait for the documents to be "approved" what ever that means.... lol has anyone ever won money online at a gambling site like this?  Still wondering if I will ever see my winnings!! I will keep ya updated of course. Thanks for listening to me babble on! lol

I would quit my job, pay off bills and give my children and family some money and save and invest and then buy a new house, car and go on a vacation and of course give the church some money.

I will pay all my debt, take care of my parents, brothers and kids,leave my job and move to a place where I can enjoy my time, travel around the world, but I will put at least 20% down on a trust fund, or IRA for my future and when I get old.

If I won the lottery I would move to the United Kingdom and invest in a house. I think properties are more expensive out there and you do get less square footage for the money. They also generally build their houses upward instead of single story homes which we see a lot of where I live. I would also have a swimming pool, I would live near a forest and near the coast so I could fully explore the beaches and go fishing like I use to with my dad when I was a young girl!

I would go on vacation, pay off my house and my mothers, and have a hell of a party that's for sure :)

1.  I would buy hubby his '56 Crown Vic since I'm tired of hearing him talk about wanting another one. i would also buy him a brand new pickup truck if he wanted one or a car because he never had a new one.

2.  I would tear down the home we live in and put a modular home here. The one we're in now has too many problems.

3.  The rest of the money I would split between retirement, the kids, Wounded Warriors, USO, St. Jude's and  Shriner's Hospitals, and a couple more charities.

I have had this list stashed away for the past 20 years, so I guess I really don't have hopes of ever winning...especially since i gave up playing the lottery 5 years ago.  :angel11:

I haven't played the lottery in years so I guess I won't be winning but I would pay off my house and buy a motor home.

If I won the lottery, I would donate some money to charity, then I would give some to my family and help them out, and then I would pay off some bills and do some remodeling.

I would enjoy my life as a better way.  But still want to invest something for profits.
