I’m going to be really boring and cliché:
If I won the lottery, I’d probably give my mom a nice chunk, place another nicer chunk in a high yield savings account or two. Some would be used to elevate my small business. A portion would buy me a loft in a pretty, walkable neighborhood; I’d decorate it beautifully so I could b + b it while I travel for weeks or months at a time. Some dough would assist movements and non-profits I’m really passionate about. I’d get that camera I mentioned in the last post, upgrade to aluminum luggage and finally get my dream bike. Oh yea, and pay off my debts.
I would just do a whole lot more of what I wanna do much more often. What I’d do exactly would depend on the amount of my winnings, but I mentioned the things that immediately came to my mind.
Have you ever won the lottery? What would you do if you did?

I didn’t win the lotto but I did receive a nice inheiritance. I bought a nice&modest home-and paid it off at the same time. Also paid off husband’s truck. It was great.

I love the B+B idea. I bought my place with a long term plan in mind. I once won 5k from Johnson and Johnson and huge gift baskets with enough products that last so long I ended up giving some away. That money paid all my tuition and books for the 2 years of university!

Now you know it’s true. I had one stamp left after sending out all my Christmas cards and that little contest coupon was sitting on my desk so…a 39 cent stamp resulted in $5k!

I’m a frugal person so I don’t have much debt but I would pay off all that I owe. I continue living in my home (I like my cozy place) but I would completely renovate the last half of my house, retire early, plan some extended trips, hire a personal trainer and cook from work and buy a new car to replace my 21 year old one. Oh yeah, I would give all of my siblings and close relatives trust funds.
