    I'd pay off the family beach house mortgage and put it into a Trust so that it can be enjoyed by family for at least four generations like the ones before us have enjoyed the house.

    I'd patent two of my inventions.

    New cars all the way around for immediate family.

    Renovate the home I already own.

    Invest, invest, invest.

    I'd hire the best lawyers to put that son of a bytch neighbor who has been harassing my family in dire straights.

    We have already talked about this.We would:

    ~ Clear off all our debts

    ~ Buy a house plus all the stuff that goes with having a house

    ~ Wedding

    ~ Trust fund for our son plus the other children in the family (we may not get on with my fiances family but that doesn't mean we would take it out on the kids - they would get money,their parents wouldn't)

    ~ Repeat house and debt as above my family and my best friend

    ~ Repeat trust fund for the other children in my life - I have 3 adopted nieces (friends children who I love like my own)

    ~ Set up a business (or a couple) - we would love to become landlords and have our own gastro-pub

    ~ Massive holiday!MY bets friend and I are actually going to start saving for a once in a lifetime holiday to Mexico.She LOVES the country and had spent a lot of time there in her pre-mum days,before she was diagnosed with her medical condition and when she was working and earning a very high wage.We would actually just do a lot of travelling,hiring a private tutor for our kids so they wouldn't miss out on school

    ~ Charity donations - mainly to cancer related ones (I lost my papa to cancer just over 4 years ago) and also to the charity that is set up to research the condition my best friend has (May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month)

    We certainly wouldn't let a lottery win phase us - we would work,it would just be different to what we do now.I would still want to train as a counsellor-midwife,the only difference is that I wouldn't have to worry about finances in order to do so.We wouldn't just live off the money we had won,we would make it work for us

    My fiance and I love to day dream about this.. We would pay off all our debt, and the debt of our immediate families. We would put a large chunk away and collect some interest to make sure we didn't run out of money. Then, we would quit our jobs and travel. All over the world, to everywhere we ever wanted to go. I imagine we would spend a couple years doing that, then return and figure out how to use our money for good.

    I would pay off any outstanding debt I had (which is actually nothing at the moment but I have yet to buy a house or anything, so...)

    Pay off my parents mortgage.

    Put a good chunk into savings and stocks and stuff that will grow so I can live comfortably.

    Donate whatever is left to various charities.

    I'd buy an NFL team. My dream as a little boy was to play pro football. I wasn't good enough to go pro but I work in the industry and I love it. If I won Mega millions, I'd buy a team.

    Basically pay off the mortgage on the house and save the rest until I really need it. I wouldn't go spend it on useless junk unless I absolutely need it. Money goes away faster than you think.

    I would continue my charitable works...

    I would buy a beach house on a private beach for me and my husband to live out the last of our days.

    I would travel, pursue my hobby of photography, pay off all our bills, and live comfortably the rest of our lives.

    I would pay for my education, buy a house, give a lot to charity, and take a nice vacation.
