I would give most of it away...
7million is grand but I would love to win something like the 100 and something million that the woman in Limerick won on the Euro millions a few years ago then I could really go to town.
After looking after my family I would get to work on helping all the people who are homeless here in the Ireland of plenty. I would buy the talent to help me plan it, the best brains in the world, then I would staff it and build a place where the people who lived in the apartments could go to retrain and gain confidence to face the world again and then their places could be filled by more people untill there were no more homeless people.
With the money well managed and growing I would also build a beautiful place for the elderly who need care and who are not in a position to pay for it. It would be a wonderful place with small selfcontained houses, where those who were able to could have their own place but be happy in the knowledge that there was help and medical staff on the grounds should they need it. I would also have on the grounds a wonderful home where the people who needed full time nursing would live with all the comforts of home which would include their pets. Remember I can pay for staff to help with all this. I would also have on the property, a music room for playing any instruments they may have and for entertaining or tea dances, a well stocked library, a few reception rooms where they could play cards or write or knit or watch TV or play music or do craftwork or anything else that one would do at home, a garden where the gardeners among the guests could get their hands dirty if that is what makes them happy. There would be raised beds too for anyone in a wheelchair, and why not a swimming pool. Any more suggestions can be placed in the box on the hall table.
Mustn't forget to do something for all abandoned animals to help all the wonderful people who spend their lives taking care of them.
Please God I would love to do all these things. How I wish I could get my hands on some of the millions that some people just leave doing nothing, as if they could possibly spend it all in a lifetime. |

i would only give it away to family and i would invest it. i wouldn't give it to charity because i believe when you give money to charity it goes to overpaid executives |

Family - The best I could say about them is that I wouldn't pay to have them killed
Friends - **** all
Neighbours - See Above
Charity - See above - but i'd leave it to the cat protection league when i carked it
Investments - Wouldn't need to
ECT - erm....... |

depending on how much I won would depend on my dispercement.....But I would make sure that all my family was very comfortable and would not have to work as hard as they do. We would all enjoy life in the simplist form and not working our tales off to keep afloat.
As for charity, I would start a home for foster children and adopt them all...I would take as many kids as I could! There is such a need for homes for Americas forgotten children.....
As for internationally, I would start a boys school in Nigeria. There is a girls school [started by Oprah] I would start a boys one as well.
Children would be the receivers of my money as they deserve to live a life that is stress free and void of dangers!
Thats what I would do |

Don't know.
Less than 10% of all lottery winnings are given away but people generally say that if they won the lottery they'd give away much more. Be interesting to read the responses you get. |

My kids i have three will get a million each. I would buy my parents a secure flat with round the clock security in S-Africa, i would personally fly to S-Africa and use a million to take care and build homes for Aids victims [ the kids and mothers ] then i would buy a small house in the countryside here in Uk not a massive place a small place with loads of charactor and antiques ohhh there is so much i would do. Go around the world would be one of them. Buy my hubby everything he has always wanted to do . I would buy baskets and baskets of flowers for our road, fix the neighbours fencing and ours ohh loads. But it is only a dream and i am still happy enough without it.:))) |

All of it.
I don't need any more than I have now.
Somehow I don't think I'll ever be in the situation though, I never do the lotto or any of that stuff. |

I would give none to charity or causes like that.
I would have to work out how many family members i was giving to some first before deciding how much each i would give,and how much i wanted to give away all together.And if it come to it i might end up thinking f**k it i won it it's all mine. |

Quite alot of it I guess.
I'd sort all my own finances etc, my family's finances, mortgages etc and then my close friends then see what is left for charity. |

It depended on how much i won really, If i won Millions then i would try and help out as many of my friends and family as i could!!
My mother in law does the loto every week and has always said if her numbers came up she would get us to sign the ticket also so we would not have to pay tax on it lol my partner is an only child!! |

Me and my partner have discussed this , as I'm sure most people have. We would make sure every family member and a few close friends had enough to buy a house and have a nest egg. Obviously we'd also buy a nice house and whatever wasn't used would be invested and eventually be passed to the next generation. I wouldn't say it would make me happier as I'm already happy in life, but it certainly would allow us to have more 'fun'. |

I'd keep put 2 million in a high interest account for a rainy day lol, give a million to each of my 2 sisters, pay for a fantastic holiday for each of the nurses at my vets, give sum to my local animal rescue centres, buy some equipment for the Birmingham Children's Hospital ( where my brother was treated for several years).I'd have fresh roses put on my brothers grave every day. Buy a headstone for my nan and grandad's grave. I'd put my mom and dad on my account as they could have what they wanted. I'd buy myself a narrowboat and a H2 Hummer. But most importantly before I did any of that, I'd tell my boss where to stick his job!! LOL
P.S. Just think how many old acquaintances would come out of the wood work. The postie would be busy with all the begging lettes you'd get |

I'd move away from all my family, friends and neighbours then i wouldn't even feel bad bout it......... :) |

I'm not sure how much I would give away, 1 million in the bank could keep you living comfortably for life, so as long as I kept that 1 million I would be happy, but I don't know if I would even be able to squander 6 million on others! |

I would like to think that I would give at least a million away (if I won 7 million), shared between my immediate family and my nominated charities. That would be my instant, gut reaction to winning.
I would need to spend some time thinking about my future once the dust has settled, and then decide carefully what to do, hopefully ignoring any pleads, begging, emotional blackmail etc. I always thought that it would be a fabulous situation to be in but I can well imagine that some aspects of it would be difficult to handle. I wouldn't give anything to my neighbours though.
Nevertheless, I will still spend my pound every week on the lottery, and if a win happens then I will no doubt manage to cope, lol x |

First Of all you need to win a lot first unless you know asecret like i know one about the Lottery. If i won i would give 2 million split to family ones with out house or cars i would by everyone a house and give enough money to each member, but i would wait a few months to gain interest in the bank first and help everyone in my family by giving them the interest gained my secerts is i do win quite a few times each week. I play the Lottery to win not to loose.

If I were to win the lottery I would diffentlyn get every DEBIT payed off help my neice & nephew get a new home put the rest in the bank to invest for a rainy day. Also there are 3 organization that I would donate to and they are Diabetes, Heart, and finnaly cancer due to the fact I have several family that I've lost to all 3 desases. I have diabetes and my back swells with pressure from standing on my feet at work for 3 hours a day. |
