What would you do if you won the $183 million Mega Million jackpot? What would you buy?

Invest most of it wisely. Buy a nice size boat to cruise around the bay or to the Bahamas. Buy a nicer home than I'm living in now. Expand my community's church. Help some people that are worthy of much needed food and clothing for their kids. Build a shelter for the homeless with families, so they won't have to worry if they get a bed or not the next night. they can live there while they find a job and get back on their feet.

"Money is the Root of all evil".

If I won the lottery, I would NOT do dumb things such as quitting my job, spend lavishly , buy a new house or car unless necessary.

Money is so hard to get and I would save it first (make sure that the savings do NOT generate so much interest that I have to pay taxes on it to Uncle Sam at the end of the year). After a period of calming down, I then think carefully on what I can or do not need to buy.

Remember - when you are old and sick - nobody cares you if you are poor!!! Make a wise decision on the money and save it first.

If I had won the money I would pay off all my bill including my college loan. Then I would buy a house on the water and a boat. I would donate 40% to the Little Sisters of the Poor and 10% to the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Then I would put the rest away and live on the interest and kind of drop out of sight from the world.
