		<description>I can&#039;t remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket.  I occasionally get scratch-offs as gifts (in birthday cards, for example) and, if I win anything, which hasn&#039;t ever been more than a couple bucks, I might push my luck and use them for additional scratch-offs.  Sometimes, I&#039;ll just keep the money.

At any rate, if I were to somehow win the lottery, I would (a) pay off all debts, (b) build my dream house, (c) invest in a diversified manner and (d) use some money for some of the things I&#039;ve always wanted!

I&#039;d still do some work, but I&#039;d be hiring people to do the work I don&#039;t like to do so that I can focus on what I enjoy doing!</description>

		<description>If I win $20 million....

I will quit my job and travel the world extensively to experience different cultures of the world and see Mother Nature before global warming overwhelm her.

I&#039;ll definitely set aside a portion for investment and live off the passive income.

There&#039;s no worries about how to occupy the free time since I&#039;ll no longer be working for the man. With such abundance wealth, I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll have a happy problem of so many hobbies to pursue but too little time.

&quot;Thump&quot;!!!!

I&#039;ve fallen back to earth, back to reality.</description>

		<description>Great post .. got to suspend reality for a few minutes.

I&#039;d move to Madrid for a year, then slowly discover the rest of Europe, then the rest of the world.

How well I lived would depend on how much I won. I think $300K a year would allow me a nice lifestyle. I think the Lotto folks sent me an alert that it&#039;s way up there this week, so I may as well dream big.

Since I&#039;m travelling, no need to spend large coin on real estate in Vancouver, and I can always rent a car when I&#039;m back.</description>

		<description>If I won the lottery.....

Trip, pay off debts, housing in various locations (well maybe not).. and large sum into investments! 

$20M would be relatively easy for me to spend since I like expensive toys and traveling etc, so to ensure I can&#039;t spend it all I&#039;d invest and live off the interest I think.

Would I stop working? Temporarily so I could travel a bit first but I would need to go back to work else I am sure I&#039;d go mental or bored or both without some sort of task. Would I work for who I work for now if I didn&#039;t really need to work? Sure why not but would my work ethic drop because I didn&#039;t need the money?
