i would get out of this place and go somewhere real nice , of course bring a few of my friends and have parties and dance all night. i would buy some new clothes, and jewelly. would be so cool if i had that much!!!!
Just to comment on what Val said on my original post...
In Canada we don't pay tax on lottery winnings.
I agree that a million is not very much, but I didn't want to be the only one to point that out. Hehehe. I would still love to have it!!
1 mil and 10 mil are very different amounts. Lets assume that the amounts are After Tax amounts.
1 Mil
I would take 1/2 to 3/4 of it and invest it so that it would provide retirement income for me. The balance I would use to pay off my debts and fix up the house. I MIl doesn't go that far.
Gee, I would settle for 1 mill. It's better than nothing.
1 Mill I would pay off my mortgage and any other small debts that I may have and enjoy what eva was left over.
10 Mill - I would do all of the above still, but as its a little more cash, probley invest some of it and try and make a few more bucks on investments. I would also give a chunk of it away to local charities that work hard in my local community.
Okay aqua, here's one. You're on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and you are on the million dollar question. You have no mare lifelines. If you guess right, you leave with 1 mill. If you miss, you leave with 32,000. If you walk away, you have a big check for a half a million. What do you do?
When I asked this question, I never thought I would answer it. You do have a 1/4 chance of winning it all. But then you have a 3/4 chance of losing. I too would walk away.... unless I knew the answer of course!
