....you randomly found a lottery ticket and that ticket won you 1 million dollars what would you do with the money?
1. pay for college, and that includes everything until Ph.D maybe, so I guess around a third is gone
2. buy about $10,000 worth of useless anime merchandise on a spree
3. buy top-of-the-line music creation hardware and software
4. save the rest for when I actually need it
Amazing gaming computer.
Pay off house/cars. (probably 1-200,000)
Put away money for college. (probably 100,000)
Buy a new boar or two with new oars for my rowing team. (probably 100,000)
Get an awesome car.
I dunno what'd I do with the rest.

college costs more than that unless you're planning on going to a state school D:
Save it for college and to go to Film School after all the basic nonsense is over.
Spend a little at an anime convention filled with worthless crap.
save it
Buy some recording equipment that doesn't suck

what
also, i can get a scholarship that'll pay for like 90% of all my costs if i go to something in my state
and if i go out of state it'll only be because i get a scholarship
College.
Stuff I want.
Saving the rest.
Invest about half of it in something. The other half idk prolly a nice house.
btw you don't get lottery money all at once its paid out over the course of several years.
I thought there was a choice, either take all of it (minus taxes and stuff) or get it in payments.
Don't think so, but you may be right
Buy a house
Fix up my ZX300
Get a job and save the rest for times of need
(And get a PS3, of course :P)

That's how it is in my state. Perhaps it depends on the state?
Get some ridiculously powerful computer.
Pay for college.
Buy a house and a nice car.
Put the rest in savings.
College
Home/Apt/Studio
Splurge
:]
Culinary school
Video games
A DDR machine
Nice car
Nice place to live
Give a bit to a charity
Savings.
1. pay for school
2. put the rest into the family business >_>
I'd put all of it in a savings account.
Just imagine the interest.
$10,000 per year if it's a 1% interest.

It could be more than 1%, and I'd be saving it for at least a decade.
Fuck yeah.
You guys know you'd probably get much less than 1M right?
Taxes.
Anyway, take $10k off the top for myself, give the rest to my family.
Start my own business. College can intercourse off.
-Get my parents a new car so I can get the elantra (that'll fufill my dad's want of a new car from me...)
-Mod the Elantra with poop like turbocharging, suspension upgrades, and who knows what else...
-Put aside 40,000 for college.
-Put 250,000 for a house (yay no future house payments!)
-Buy a Chevrolet Corvette Zr1
-get 3 sets of rear tires for the vette (heheheheh...)
-Save the rest for emergency puropses.
I'd have some fun with it, and yet be smart. Find a good balance, like I always say.Quote from: Semi-Scrub on August 11, 2009, 08:10:04 PM

That's why I only hit the halfway mark at the most for what I said.
Taxes on money you win is just a load of poop, IMO.
