If you were to win the power ball

My husband is 64 and wants to quit work so we'd put a lot into an annuity so he could and then I'd like to travel.

I would first give 10% to my church.  Then I would consider a different house.  After that, I would just put it all away - hopefully earning interest - and continue to live my life as it is now.

My life wouldn't really change that much, I'd just have more money to make the things I enjoy more readily available. I wouldn't go crazy on anything stupid like a bunch of sports cars, and yes, I'd still always do some form of "work".

I would definitely retire, give some else my job, and created a business to give people jobs.

[davidh121]

I would get a bigger home, retire, take more trips, volunteer more and... No more click sites. A lot would change. I would like the chance to see this come to reality like the millions of other people out there.

pay all outstanding debts first then invest after that go to Sanibel island, and relax..

[froggylover227]

I'd probably move to Las Vegas, maybe build a hotel/casino while I'm at it. I probably wouldn't work. Unless that whole hotel/casino thing doesn't work out, then I might have to take a part time gig somewhere!

One thing for sure, I would be back here on Fusioncash the next morning doing my clicks and posting in the forum like I have for the last 5 years.

I don't have any job to quit, so that would be a no-brainer choice for me. Just keep on keeping on.

I would stash most of it in some kind of an annuity so I would be guaranteed an income for life, then go on with what I do already, not much change.

Sure I would give some away to help my friends and family members, but not go crazy throwing it away. Mostly I would try to help them with a hand up, and not just a handout. For instance, for my son who is a chef I would buy a restaurant and put him in whatever job he wanted with a nice salary.

HOWEVER, since I never buy a ticket I don't think I need to worry.

  buy things I need then stuff I want and could not afford before.

[vp44]

I would pack me and my son stuff in a storage. Head directly for the airport and get of out the states quickly as possible. lol I would go on a long vacation to plan out the important things to do.

[Delphyne]

Wow.  Well, we'd buy a new vehicle.  We'd probably also move to another country a lot quicker than we anticipate. 

My husband would construct a few things.  We'd build a greenhouse, shed, new home, a faraday cage, and animal pens, for raising livestock.

I'd probably buy my daughter anything she wanted, and it would probably be art related stuff.   

I'd buy myself the best Canon DSLR I could lay my hands on, along with a high-powered telescope, so I could take deep space photographs.

If you won on the power ball. In what ways do you think it would change your life? And what would you do first if you won? Also would you continue to work or would you quit your job?

i would invest mine, and pay off my bills, help out my family and start a business and give to charity and enjoy life.

[minkatrozic]

I would get a heart attack. That's what would happen to me.I do not think that anybody would be still working that's absurd.I'll definitely try to take it easy and help those in need.I like the list of things that some people would do. It helps to have a plan just in case it really happens to somebody. Good luck to all who play.

[cathy37]

I would hope that it would not change my life in a drastic way.  I would pay off my bills and get a new Ford Escape.  Then I would probably invest some of the money.  I would also help my daughter with her college loans.

[momoney555]

First I would make sure all my family is as well off as I am (my family is not large) Then I would buy a nicer car, give to my favorite charity, invest the rest and continue to live the life I am living now.
