    The Lottery

    Whether you gamble and play the lottery or not, assume you do for a moment. What would you do if you won the lottery? What would you do with all of the money you just won?

    The time is upon us...

    Invest, live comfortably and pursue passions instead of boring job-drudgery. I would not start spending it like a nutcase no matter how much I won. I don't even like the idea of having a mansion, fancy cars, yachts, or materialistic stuff like that. Sure, there would be a few things I'd like to have and like to do, most of which are usually able to be obtained on most people's budgets, but I wouldn't go blowing it all on rich people toys. I've heard very often people who win the lottery often end up losing it all in time. I'd rather just focus on financial security first, have the future covered, and pursue a lifestyle that's stress-free rather than a few short years of materialistic mayhem.

    I don't play lottery that often and I definitely don't gamble at casinos, though. My chances of actually hitting it big are definitely extremely slim.

    I actually don't know. I always joke but I'd probably try and save some of it for college then use the rest to launch my political career as well as buy all the games and systems that I couldn't afford before. I'm talking about you Wii U and Pokken.

    You know, the usual: Stuff, services, storage and donations.

    Extra money, even a very huge sum, doesn't mean that it is infinite.

    ive thought about this extensively. assuming the amount is, i dunno, in the millions, i would:

    - get top surgery for myself, my boyfriend, and my best friend; itd be a party, though probably all at the same time is not a great idea
    - move into a slightly nicer apartment, ideally one that has an in-unit washer and dryer, AC/heat, a toilet that flushes, and doors
    - order food for delivery whenever i want it
    - buy fresh produce and proteins when i go to the grocery store
    - donate whenever someone is down on their luck and needs a little cash, whether theyre a friend or stranger on the internet or random person on the street
    - always pay for drinks and food when i go out with friends
    - buy some games and new clothes, maybe some furniture, a new trashcan would be nice like... one of those that has the step to it and the lid swings up
    - GET A CAT and so many toys for it, and a big cat castle, and the best food for it, and a nice cat bed, and many lint rollers because cat
    - buy a dependable safe car with good gas mileage
    - go on a vacation to disney world!!!!!!
    - thats it, im gonna hoard the rest (invest most of it probably) and spend carefully, nothing huge or extravagant except maybe the occasional vacation or bigger purchase (like i might want a piano if i wound up having the space for it, that sort of thing)
