It's difficult to even comprehend 900 million but it sure is fun!  I think my biggest joy would be giving money away to causes I care about and buying presents!!   Such fun!

I would buy a big house, a new car, and pay off my bills.  I would buy a big house for my sister, 2 brothers, and 2 close friends.  I would pay off their bills and get them new cars.  I would also give them tax free 10 million dollars.  I would donate a percent to charity.  Finally, I would buy about 20 to 30 acres of property and build a huge no kill animal rescue center.  It would be state if the art, it's own hospital, staffed 24 7.  It won't happen, but it's nice to dream.

   I would invest it to help others. I wonder who is going to be the lucky winner?

A lot of good things but what I would really love most even though I would not need anywhere close to that amount is that my girlfriend and I could live together and she would not have to work this stupid job that she has. I wish I just had 900,000 and that dream would come easy. :heart:

Invest some so future generations wouldn't have to worry about finances. I would still finish school and work (I'm 31) and build a house.

after taxes and financial fees for winning, I would move my family and myself to a gated compound and hide out for a while.

1.) I would take care of my parents of course, for all they had done for me
2.) Donate to some charities like cancer prevention and research and animal shelter
3.) Invest. Interested in the stock market
4.) Collecting stuff. Maybe get back to my old hobby of collecting coins or precious metals

I would be scared to death if I won 900 million.  It could change my life in ways I can't even begin to imagine.  I would hire someone I could trust to administer the donation of most of the money.

Title: Re: what would you do with the 900 million dollars
Post by: vp44 on January 10, 2016, 07:39:58 pm

I would take some time to figure out what I would do. I would be so over joyed. Invest is a must and college savings for my son and a nice home and car.

Title: Re: what would you do with the 900 million dollars
Post by: tgreen20 on January 11, 2016, 07:35:10 am

I would first give my 10% to my church, 20% helping out (maybe open a homeless shelter, help people get back into the work force) 20% Christian Mission in Kenya Africa and 50% to live off.

keep one million for my expenses for the rest of my life and not live lavishly.
give the rest to the elderly specifically supporting the Green House Project.

That would be such a nice dream to win that much money and the things I would do is endless so I won't try to name them, but buy a piece of property and building everyone in my family a house on that property would be amazing.

Post by: countrygirl12 on January 11, 2016, 11:43:25 am

Well you aren't going to get 900 million because the government is going to take over half of it.

That is really too much money for my mind to comprehend and honestly I would not want to win that much money.

Post by: Kimdud22 on January 11, 2016, 09:01:31 pm

Get out of some debts quick. Finally get a house instead of living with parents with our 17 month old at 25 years old. Put a lot up for her for college and future. Donate a lot to loved ones and good causes.

I would love to be able to support the mission fields more.  That much money could send a lot of Bibles to the millions that have never seen a Bible!

Since my family and I are in the process of renovating our current house, I would hurry the process by paying the contractors and everyone involved in full so we can get the space we need sooner. I would also take us on more vacations annually because we need it.

Post by: debidoo on January 13, 2016, 07:37:14 am

1.5 billion or more now - I would help family members and friends and then set up a non-profit to help others that I don't know.  Now for myself I would build a new home conservative though - a new vehicle also conservative.  All I want is some nice not crazy things and to be able to do some fun things.    :present:

First thing I would do is faint. I would surely have to go into hiding and remain anonymous.

Title: Re: what would you do with the 900 million dollars
Post by: NSCountryGal on January 13, 2016, 09:31:42 am

I would help my parents retire because they both work to hard. I would start up 1-2 businesses in my hometown to bring jobs to the area. Donate to the food bank and cancer organizations. Probably visit the UK because I always wanted to. Buy a house but not a lavish house (rent apartment right now). Buy a car because mine is old and needs work. Save enough to live off of and I would still be frugal to an extent because I don't like to waste.

Post by: yaayme on January 13, 2016, 11:48:22 am

I would share the money with my family and live a somewhat modest life. I don't desire to own expensive things and live a life of "luxury" in the typical sense. The only time I would splurge is when I go on vacations...

Like I mentioned...I would share with my (immediate) family, buy property, build a energy efficient dream home and hire part time help to maintain a huge fruit and vegetable garden.

It's up to 1.5 biillion now and still climbing.  It's the largest jackpot ever.

I would buy small houses dotted across the USA so I could have a home everywhere awwww cooool lol

Post by: ejholt on January 13, 2016, 04:02:13 pm

I would help my family.  There are 32 of us.  I won.  I am 74 years olduld put some in a trust fund for my 16 great grandchildren.  I am 74 years old.  I would put the money where it would draw the most interest and retire again.  I would help the homeless.  I would pay for each of my grandchildren a house or pay off the ones they has.  I have been wanting to travel but had to go back to work after I retired 13 years ago so maybe I will be able to travel.  May God bless each of you and keep you safe. ;D

As cliche as it is, there are several charities I'd love to donate to that I would never have been able to otherwise with such little income. A new car would be in order; help my mother and I find a better place to live - in a new state, a fresh start. I've never traveled or been overseas so a tour of the world is a must. Those are the major things that come to mind anyway.

Make sure all my kids and grandkids were set.

Well I did not win the powerball.  So I have to get up this morning and go to work.  Hope everyone has a good day.  I did have the pawer ball on one ticket so guess I will be able to buy me a hamburger.  haha

Title: Re: what would you do with the 900 million dollars
Post by: braggin on January 14, 2016, 05:44:01 am

I would also build a new house for myself and buy two new cars, then buy houses and cars for my daughters, set aside money for my grandchild's education, then give the rest to charity.

Post by: pmagalei on January 14, 2016, 06:30:24 am

I would take care of the taxes first and save the rest until we know what to do with the rest. I am pretty sure my boys would love some new school clothes and perhaps some new shoes. My wife could definitely also need some new clothes for work and even buy a new car that will fit our entire family. As far as going crazy with it, I doubt that's going to happen.

I would love to set up a sanctuary for cats and another for dogs for all the unadoptables, and to place ones that are adoptable and to offer extremely low cost spay/neuter.

Buy an island and live happily. Help my family and used it in a good cause.

That sounds nice. I don't know what I would do with that much money its kind of scary but I would like to help others in need.

So sad when I didn't win. I was dreaming, and not overly big. no plan to quit my job just not work 2 anymore!

I was going to pay off my mortgage, have some dental work done I have been putting off, buy a new car as mine is high mileage and limping along. I had several people in mind to help as well. Buy meds my insurance wont cover. That was about it. Just not have to worry about things... sigh....

Post by: ejholt on January 17, 2016, 05:57:27 am

I didn't win but $8 on the big one.  So I bought another ticket for last night and did not win anything.  It is a numbers game.  Hope everyone has a good day. :)
