Since the early days of lotto people have played because of that ‘what if’. What if you won? Well now with the Powerball getting higher and higher every day it has us thinking about that question more. What if I won $100 million? What would I do? There are plenty of crazy and fun things you can do if you won $100 million.
Instead of investing into stocks or bonds, why not invest your money into opening a Rita’s Italian Ice franchise. For an estimated 
total of up to $287,000 you ca n be your own boss and eventually make money without even having to be there! After paying the franchise fee of as much of $25,000 you’re ready to go. Rita’s Italian Ice requires that you have a new worth of at least $250,000 and $75,000 in liquid cash available which will be no problem since you just won $100 million!
Anyone can own a luxury car or pay for limo/town car, but not everybody can say they own a helicopter. For as low as $250,000 you can own your very own helicopter. The Robinson R-22, considered one of the world’s most economical helicopters, has extremely low operating cost and is great for the new flyers. If you are the kind of person who is looking for something a little more flashy the Eurocopter EC120 Colibri Hummingbird might be more your style. For $1,700,000 get this helicopter that seats up to 5 people! That’s something the entire family will enjoy.
I would go on shopping spree spend at target walmart best buy game stop.
I'd pay off debt, buy a house, take a vacation and pay it forward!
I paid my car and buyer home
Make sure we had a comfortable retirement, travel and make sure all the grand babies go to college.
Stop worrying so much.
Pay off my mortgage and donate to church and charity organizations.
I could use enough money to buy the judicial system to get my hter away from her child molesting father. She will be 13 on Feb 16th. I haven't seen her in 7.5 yrs. I would get us the counseling we need. Also, I so want my parents to still be around to be a part of hr r life. I would move us all away from here. I have many health issues that have manifested because of situation & cant afford medical care or medications. I've been so down I've just wanted to die, but I want to see my daughter again. I would definitely help my church & some other charities because I've been having to depend on assistance to keep my home & electricity. Would use wisely to help my family & others. My mom has never had a new car. I would just take us all away from LaGrange. To sunshine & warm climate & I wanna go to a Nascar race in person to see Dale Esrnhardt Earnhardt Jr. Race!!!!
Pay for all three of my boys college n buy a house so I can have my three boys live with me cause my apartment is being foreclosed on n I dont have no money to move so I could really use this money but I always feel like I have bad luck no matter how hard I try
I would buy a house and I could live wherever I want.
Pay off school loans and the little bit of debt that I do have. After that I would buy my mom a house and someone to be her caretaker because her current caretaker does not take care of much. Then I would make sure to buy my own little home and help my boyfriend get custody of his son.
I would catch up on my bills and then move closer to my youngest daughters. Then would get my sister and her three kids, and my three youngest daughters (who she adopted) out of the house they are stuck in (and have had four floods), and buy them a bigger house where they don't have to worry about floods. I would buy myself and all drivers in my family, and my friends, all who are in need, each a vehicle of their choice. I would buy my second oldest daughter a ranch with horses. I would open a savings account for all of my daughters. I would donate to the National Breast Cancer Foundation as a tribute to my mom, who died due to complications after a lumpectomy. Then I would put the rest in a savings account and just see what comes up.
If I won $100 million I would help my grown kids each have their own homes, give some money to good charities, improve our home here in the USA, have a family home in Panama (since we live in rainy and cold Washington), and have more pets because with additional money we could afford to care for more.
I would take care of myself of course then donate some money to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff where I was given an education in biology.
New house, new car, TV, furniture, buy things at store, donate some
pay the doctors who'll revive me after I faint, and then pay off my children's debts, college funds for the grandbabies and start traveling.
I would purchase new equipment with warranties for the nursing home to make their lives a little bit better and to make the nurses and aides work go a little bit smoother.
All the things I was not able to do before.
open a no-kill cat shelter!
I would buy a house, give money to the ULF, invest a large chunk of the money and pay off my sisters mortgage also travel. I may buy something in the bahamas.
I would help all of my friends and family, that's a given. I would also give money to my school district , which is struggling to get out of debt. Finally, I would set up a college fund for my children and all of my nieces and nephews.
I would donate 50 million to transplant research so they could improve on them and 25 million to help the homeless and I would keep the rest for my family, all while its earning more money. For things like education, homes, business, bills ect.
I would buy a beautiful home, my 8 yr old son wants an Aston Martin which will be 8 years before he could drive it. I would like a Black Camaro a Hummer and a long vacation in Greece.
Pay some Medical bills!
First set my family up. Travel the Usa it has been a dream. Buy a big luxury Winnebago. And go. Definitely donate so much to my favorite causes.
I would pay off our home and other debts, put money in a trust for my kids, renovate the transitional homes for veteran in our community, donate to the local food banks, Red Cross, operation Home front and a few others. And treat my wife and kids to the vacation they deserve. Put the rest in the bank and continue to help the community as much as I can.
Pay off a lot off bills for me & I could help my mom with whatever she needed.
I'd buy a house and car and never work again!
First I would pay off all my parents debts and my brother. Donate a alot of money to shelters for animals, then I would buy a house in NY and California so I could do both coasts.
We'd pay off debt first. Have a new home built on land we have up north so we can retire there and then invest money for our 5 grandkids towards collage. We'd also invest for our future. The one fun thing we'd do is go to New Zealand because our son, daughter in-law, 4 and 2 yr old grandkids moved there Nov. 2011 after living by us since they were born. We went from having them at our house 5 to 7 days a week to skyping 1x a week. We'd rent a 4 bedroom home either on the ocean or with a pool and spend 3 weeks just enjoying our family. We are so close to our daughter in-law and grandkids that it ripped our hearts out when they left.
pay off my debts, buy me a house with enough land I can start my own animal shelter for strays.
I would pay off my student loans, buy my mom a house, pay for my daughters college, build us a new house then donate to a worthy charity.
I would finally be able to live like a "Normal" productive citizen. Also because of all I am going through, I know what it feels like and would love to take that all away for families in need. I would like to start programs that allow people to move in to clean and safe homes, taht eventually they can own. I would like to start a program were low income families can save money and I will try and match or give a percentage to every dollar added to the account. That way in a few years if you have kids going to school or getting a new license, there's money saved for that. I know what it is to disappoint a kid that tries. I have so many wonderful ideas that I can do with money that I am blessed with and that when I die, I can't take it with me. I want to start a program were low income families can receive funding from me to have medical insurance for your pet, food vouchers, and if needed kennel service when u go on vacation or if it happens shelter your animal if you are evicted. Keep the animal until you find an animal freindly home or find a brand new home with visitation rights for your pet. The United States is getting harder to live in and there's rich people in this country that can do more than they do. They are drowining in an ungodly amount of money and do the minimum. A great man that I was blessed to me and honored told me this " Cynthia, I make an Un-Godly amount of money, what I have access to is surreal, I make close to 30mil a year and there is a secret to my success, and I'll tell it to the world, the reason I make 30mil a year and continue to grow is because I give about 1/2 of that back every year. God blesses me, because I bless others", G. Stillwell. I would love to be able to do those things, I would have found my purpose in life and because I fear death, I will no longer fear because My blessings will live forever! Of course first thing is getting my life staright and my kids situated, then I start my, let's say, Empire of Thanks! That would be the biggest thanks I could give for receiving such a gift. That's what I would do if I won $100,000,000.00.
Set up college funds for my boys and grandchildren, travel quit my job and invest
I would help all the stray animals I would buy a barn and lots of prperty for all the strays.
I would pay off all of my bills, my children's bills, do some very needed work on my house, and help my two grandchildren that are in college now. I would also pay for my future funeral expenses and other matters like that so my children will never have to deal with all of it. I am alone and do not wish to leave any problems for my children. I would also try to add some money to an endowment fund that is at a college in my parents' names. If any is left after that, I will put it into an account to live on for the rest of my life.
Pay off all of the bills for my family.

I'd pay off my bills and donate to my favorite charities!
I'd open shelters in different major cities for the homeless and throwaway children who are abused daily. Give them the love and acceptance they so much need and the opportunity grow up in a safe environment, to go to college and help them achieve a respectable life. Hardly anyone think of the children that walk the streets, too young to get a job and end up selling their young bodies for food and shelter risking abuse or even death. I'd also help the thousands of veterans who have become homeless. Once all that is done, then I'll take care of paying off homes and investing. The children will always come first.
Start a great saving fro my kids future buy an spacer cars an clear my fees I owe.
Whatever I wanted to, I would do everything at least once & buy all things I can't buy now!! For starters I would buy a house in 4 different States for each season of the year.
Pay, pay, and pay. A new truck for sure.
I would donate some, help out my immediate family, travel, and live with the peace that I could stay in my home forever with no financial worries.
First,I would give a portion to God, because without him none of this would have even been possible! Second, I would help those in need by opening up my own help center for those that need a home to come to or simply a place to get out of the cold and for those whose bellies are hungry! This place wouldn't have a time limit like most, but would help people to get on their feet and hopefully spread the love that has been given them and continue on. I would certainly take care of all my families debts and bless them all with what the needed, just to make life a little easier and better for them! I would however open up an acct. for my grand babies so when their time comes to go off to college, they won't have to worry about getting financial aid and the qualifying for grants or loans, they can be one in the few that can be blessed and become what their heart desires! And as for my husband and I, we would find time to enjoy the comforts in life a little and enjoy what we've missed out on all these years that we've been together, which is 26 yrs. Over all, I would just be a blessing!!
I'd help everyone I know & love get out of debt & treat them all to a beautiful vacation!
I would make a list of all my debts and pay every one off. I would make a list of family and friends I would give money to.

All of these things I would do after I thanked GOD for blessing me.

I know that there is more that I could/would do this is just off of the top of my head.
Enjoy it, and the freedom it would give me. Then when I see those people on the street that I can only give a couple of bucks to now, I'd give hundred dollar bills, and make their days too.
I would get myself out of debt, repair my home on the outside and inside, help my grand daughter in college. After all that, I would help a few friends with their needs. Then I think I would find a good investment person to help me with a few wise investments. I would save enough out for donations to worthy causes and churches. At my age, I do not not have to many small needs. Just big ones.
give a large sum to my church, pastor vernom is a good man who tries to do his best for our community, with very little funds, but he keep moving foeward. then I would buy a head stone for my mothers grave. I would put money away for my grandchildrens collage, now it will be time to do a little something for myself.lol.
