No tons of money...

But I did win enough to not have to buy another ticket.

$18 million. I'm dreaming just a bit. I wouldn't even mind a tenth of that. All I really want is to be able to pay off my debts and buy a house. That's it, really.

I'd settle for enough to pay off my car. Without that payment every month, I could afford to live on unemployment.

I would settle for enough to pay off my debts.

I can think of so many things I would do with $18 Million. For starters, quit my job and get a job at a photography studio/lab... right after I travel around the world for a couple of years.

*nods* No kidding. No fricking kidding.

I would pay off debts, buy a house, buiy a car and put a huge chunk into savings and do my best to live off fo the intrest.

I'd go to school... Mmmmm.

I definitely would become a professional student after getting my traveling out. Of course, as a professional student, I could take off whatever semester I wanted to, so I could still travel. I think if you are rich enough, you don't actually need a visa to spend a significant amount of time in any given country.

and hook up your friends.

Well, that would entirely depend on what hooking up my friends meant, you know?

I'm not buying anyone a house. I would let people live in the house I bought for me, though.

If I win 18 million?

Likely. Lemme see what that is after taxes.

Re:

about $530,000 / yr after taxes.

Hmmmmm.....

You know, that is a lot of money.

I have a feeling I would have lots of people asking me to help them with bills.

But the trick is:
It's YOUR MONEY.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to with it.

And while some people may get pissed about it, sooner or later they would get their heads outta their asses and realize that.

Re:

I know. I think I would have some sort of application for it. No more than X amount of money from me unless it is something special like medical bills.

I think I would have to put lots of it into places where I couldn't get at it right away. Otherwise I would just give it away or spend it.

If I won it, I would plan on taking so much and just doing stupid shit with it.

The rest would go IMMEDIATELY to bills, savings, etc.

And I would still work. At least for a year or 2.
