Thread Name: BS: Lotto Winnings, What Would You Buy?
Subject: BS: Lotto Winnings, What Would You Buy?
I always dream of winning the lotto here in USA. (me & millions of other people of course).
However, I know the odds are astronomical against that ever happening.
Still, I do buy a few tickets occasionally spending a few dollars for lotto tickets now & then. I mean somebody is got to win sometimes.
Hasn't been me yet. :-))

I would be interested to hear how people would spend some of the money (if it was let's say, 10 million dollars or more)?

Since I don't have family, only one brother but no kids or husband or other relatives, it would not go to family (accept to help my brother in my case) so I would have a lot of money for myself.

I would buy a car since I don't have one at all right now and haven't for years, using public transit to get around.
I love old Jaguars from the 50's and I would get myself a nice Jaguar with automatic transmission and burgundy in colour.

I would buy a house somewhere, probably in the Carmel, California area. Not too big as it would just be me, but maybe a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with a nice little garden and a nice sized kitchen.

Would donate some monies to a local animal shelter and care for rescue animals and stray animals.

Then I would fly somewhere first class as I have never flown first class anywhere, only coach and in crowded conditions.

Then I would have about 25 jeans and other slacks made especially for me as it is always so hard to find jeans that fit - always too long or don't fit right. So yes, jeans made in different colours custom made to fit me perfectly. Ah, that would be wonderful to never have to shop for jeans/pants for hours to not find any or very few that fit right, again.

These are just a few of the things I would spend lotto winnings on and of course would invest most of it.
