I'd tell no one, I'd rewrite my will, I would give Grommie a nice new kennel. I'd find the best house by a harbour beach, put down a decent mooring, and secure a very large offshore capable motor launch to it. Seems odd that a life spent on the ocean would attract one back., but.... there you are.... Certain charities would get a buck or several.

LET'S SAY I WON 10 MIL. I WOULD PUT THE TICKET IN A SAFE PLACE /DO NOT TELL ANYONE I WON . I WOULD TAKE MY TIME AFTER GOING HOLD OF A GOOD LAWER /AND THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHAT MY NEW LIFE WILL BE MIKE

I would try and help people with kids living in their cars Buy housing for my family that they could look after for me just pay utlities as if a relationship brokes down cannot half someone they dont't own Help the Meleoma foundation as more young people are dying from this as my Dad did this year (Heartbroken ) Simplify my own life down to the bear essentials I have to take care of my needs and I really don't want for much at 58 Hope a win comes my way soon .Edited 14-Nov-22 16:50pm

i would go on a holiday overseas to itally and around the world buy myself a house and get driven around like a chaffeur help my family and donate some money to the sick kids in westmead hospital that was always my wish and i would invest in buying properties.

First of all, I would not change anything for at least 6 months. (Well, thats the plan!) I would tell people on a need to know basis. Planning to assist close family would be next, and then looking into societys needs would be next. I feel very much for the homeless and those suffering with DV. Lots of listening to find out what they really NEED would be next. Then launch into action.

Help my family and depending on how much would invest in animal shelters

Don't mean to sound self-righteous but I would get the most joy by giving to those who I know truly need a leg up - and I know quite a few. Just knowing they are getting some relief would make my life more worthwhile. If there's something left I would throw a party for all of us to celebrate!

It would need to be a bloody big win because I would want to buy a house!!

Share some with family and charity. Pay out my debts. Get my teeth fixed, but a new car, update my computers, set aside for my child's education. If any left over, invest in solid dividend paying shares.

I would give my local Church and to the mission funds, then I would buy a house, a car and caravan then go on a world trip with my wife and Invest the rest for retirement.

Won't have to worry as I will never win as I don't buy tickets.

Share it with my family.

First class ticket for a trip around the world lasting 12 months.

First thing nothing reason I wouldn't believe it then I'd give thanks

Get rid f my debts and then save for a rainy day after donating to my 3 usual charities.

Well for one thing they would have to pull my numbers out instead of throwing them away every week, but then I would put the money in the bank and give myself time to think about it. I would draw up a list of how much to give to charity, how much to give to family, how much to invest and how much to give myself to play with. As usual for me it would be about planning.

With my luck, I don't hold much hope, But if I did it would be shared between 3 families, my 2 boys and their families and my husband and myself, and a trip to Echuca hope I spelled it right, to cross of a bucket wish

The kids would be happy.

If it was sufficient I would set up a fund for underprivileged kids, to help them get a decent education.

i would give some of it to world wild life fund

Travel

I would pay off all of my bills. Then help my sons and help St. Judes hospital.

Give it away as it would ruin your life and aspirations.

I would make sure I save some. I would give some to my kids and some to animals. I also need work done on my house. It would be wonderful. I can always dream ............... you never know. NEVER stop dreaming I say.

Omg and pass out

I'd buy a house

Get out of debt, buy a unit suitable for my needs, update furniture, linen, clothes, keep 18 month income in a high interest cash bank account, keep 2 weeks income in day-to-day account, invest the rest in precious metals/ stock exchange. Live a better life.

i would help my chidren buy them all a home of their own also my grandchildren. buy a car ,go on a holiday , give to charity.Help a friend or two out too

I take it you mean winning millions. Wow! Wouldn't that be nice. I would help my children, grand kids out, give a lot of it to charity, and buy a really nice car, and also a lovely motor home to travel around Australia. The rest, gee I wouldn't have to look at price tags, so would have a jolly good time shopping.

Give half to my kids, quarter to Charity and indulge my wife with the balance

Enjoy it silently

Ensure the family were securely housed.

Pay off my children's houses and relax and enjoy life.

l would do whatever l want, give some money away and bank/invest someEdited 13-Nov-22 17:20pm

Blow it and whatever is left the kids can fight over…..lol

you have to gamble first, and I dont. Also I have everything I need/want. Am very happy with my life.

none of your business

Share with family and close friends

I would get on a flight to new Zealand and pay a visit to my new little friend on here ( she knows who she is!) Her husband is in a care home and still quite young really. She visits him every day and feeds him, and cares for him although he cannot speak or walk any more. She can have whatever she needs of whatever I won ;) A special soul .

Omg if I were to win lotto I would see my daughter and grandchildren set. I would make sure my folks were set up too. My family wouldn't need to struggle any longer. And I would live the life..not waste but enjoy.

I've got the house and area I love. I guess I'd pass a fair bit to help my little brother get all the ops he and his wife need, - if it was big enough I'd take the Grand Tour to Europe, see all the places I see on SBS every few nights.

Move back to the Eastern States build on the Sunshine Coast pay my kids mortgages off and travel overseas with my bestie and donate to some charities !

big amount -- i will give some of it away to help those who are in need

pay off all my debts, well as much as I could and get a payday loan to cover the balance.

Depending on the amount I would build a house with all the leisure activities I wanted, buy a boat, a caravan and travel overseas. I would also help my children to get into the property market and take a break from all the MUST DO things. I might buy a business or set up a block of units for people who want to work in the local area, but cannot afford to buy into the local property market.

Probably give it to my kids…..to pay off their mortgages

Assuming is a big sum - wow, I need to think about that! And first of all to buy a lotto ticket...:)

I would put some in the bank or a credit union to save money. I would buy what I need with the rest

firstly you need to be in the game to have that chance of winning the lotto, if such a scenario came across I won the Lotto I would need some time to believe it has happened for real, then with all my heart buy some big property with small self-contained units and rehome all the homeless people. Then I would like to buy some Labrador breed dogs and give them to the blind institute to educate the dogs and give them to those who are completely blind and need assistance. Then the rest of the money could give some to the family.

Buy a house and other homes for the poor(which I am) and finally make my films

Disappear

Depending on how much the lotto win was, I would buy my daughter a house & pay out my sons mortgage give 6 grand kids a deposit for a house,whatever is left I'd give to a childrens charity

Stop doing surveys...

It would be really nice to say if I won. To pay off any debts, make family and friends financially secure, donate quite a bit to good charities and save the rest.

Give to charities and Bible believing organizations to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Also help those in need and give some to children hospitals. The rest I would pay my bills all off. Take a nice vacation with my husband and pets.

I would give some to different charity organisations. Give some to my family and go on a holiday.

Travel to remote secluded beautiful places in the world looking for perfect peaceful home while admiring & loving art and nature, donating to my preferred charities, persuing my passions, enabling family & friends ..??????

it depends on the amount if huge will buy more stocks & shares & also donate to charitable causes like the Salvation army,Auckland city mission

Move to Bali, live near the beach and drink beer.

I won powerball...last week was just over $10... if I won the big one then I would move closer to the beach....Edited 13-Nov-22 13:53pm

Should there be enough to do so I would renovate my bathroom and kitchen.

Be very quiet about it.

move to the coast

Plan it for about 2 weeks. Give some to both children, some to each of their children and partners. Then it's party time for she and me. Oh better give some to my sister and her brood. That takes care of family.

Agree with beverley S, and DO NOT TELL ANYONE until you've sorted out what u want to do with it Cause for sure they'll all be telling you what they think!

Buy a house,pay off my son's house and have an awesome holiday or 3...

After I came around after fainting I would just quietly bank it until my emotions settled down and then I would carefully sort out the best way of using it to benefit my loved ones.

If I won the lottery, I would (after taxes and depending on how much was left), I would give some to each of my family. I would set up trust accounts for my grandchildren. I would take care of some things around my mom’s house. I would get some shopping done and invest for the future. I would also donate some to some causes that I support. None of these things are in the order I would do any of these things either.

would tell the family and invest the money

Well I would get some one to fence our place and I would rescue as many animals as I could. I would rehome the ones that could be and keep the ones I wanted. I would give some money to charity but I would make sure we had enough left over to live comfortably and also enough for all the animals with their feed, vet bills etc etc can be costly.

I would have a lot of fun.

lots.

I would build a castle and have a rampart up high so i can throw my empty dom perignon bottles and empty caviar tins at the peasants below,lolololol

Quit my job and spend the rest of my life traveling.

After you have paid tax on it and realised how little it really is have a G &T and go about by daily life

Just carry on normally and don't tell anyone about the win.

I would tell no-one and I would do whatever I wanted to including giving heaps to the local animal rescue and paying off my daughter's mortgage anonymously.

Count it !

Well firstly I would stop worrying. Thereafter, who knows.

Definitely not tell the world. Depending on amount that is to be decided . I have a vast family thru my wife in the Philippines so that could be a option

I would pay off my house, build up my business and help my family. I would also put together a place where young people could go that is safe with people help guiding them in the right direction.

Have a long holiday

Buy an island, be totally self sufficient, build homes for family (immediate and extended) but if they annoy me they're outta there lol.

As hard as it was I wouldn’t tell anyone, get some financial advice, and go from there. I wouldn’t tell anyone except my children and partner. Pay off mortgage and maybe go on a trip and help children but not, so they’re not still financially independent

share it with my kids, buy a house and live in luxury for the rest of my days.:)

Bank it for 3 months while I sort out what to do, would share with kids and grandkids,

Have a heart attack and drop dead.

I would share some of it first to my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren then I would spend the rest by buying places where people without homes could stay.

Put some aside to buy into a rest home village house, me sorted. donate to a few charities that are struggling, Put some in an investment to top up the supper with the intrest.

Give children just enough for a good deposit on a nice home so they quite reasonable repayments, foster one child , set up a charity then spoil myself by buying a few acres in a nice rural/coastal community and have heaps of animals.

I would buy a house that suits my needs and a new car and give some to family

Knowing me I'd probably do all the wrong things first .Party hard ,holidays ,give it to friends buy that house on the beachfront and give some to the charities that have helped me as a single mum

I would give 10% to charities and the church. Then I’d pay off my house. I would then take 10% to spend and put the rest in savings.

Caribbean cruise

I would set aside enough to live on for the rest of my life - investing that and living off the income. The rest would be put into a Permanent Fund which would be invested with the Income being divided into Three. One third would be reinvested so as to build The Fund up, one third to some Recognised Charity - with NO Religion-based connections and the final third to Medical Research Organisations such as The Peter Mac in Melbourne, the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute. On my death, as I have no family now the money I set aside for my own living - I have very modest needs - would be added to The Fund.

let my overworked husband retire

If I won first division all by myself and it was a nice one like 10 or 30 million I would hope that I wouldn't die from the shock. Then if I had survived I would leave it in the bank for a month not tell anyone and then work out what could best be done so it was put to good use for both my family and myself .

I'd spend it all on rental properties then use the rental money to pay for other things like a business, a house of my own and a few charities.

That would be a miracle, - I do not gamble!

The first thing I would do is not tell anyone.
