I WON
I won, 11 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow wouldn't I love to be able to say that?
No I HAVE NOT won the lottery!! lol
But what would you do if you did win?
Would it change the type of person your looking for?
Would you tell anyone, could you trust that someone wanted you because they liked you and not for your money?
Well thanks to ALL that shared their dreams here. xxx
I think it is very interesting that everyone said that they would not change the type of person they were looking for.
Though I do have to wonder like bbwchina says, if there would be some changes?
If you are going to places you never could afford before, meeting the type of people that you may never had an opportunity to meet, would this make a difference?

Yes, but would it change the type of person your looking for?
Would you tell someone that you have just met, or would you keep it a secret??
If I won the lotto it would not change who I am looking for. I probably wouldn't tell anyone though.
I would pay off bills with it. Then I would build a house in the country on a large parcel of property and a very large building in which I would start an animal sanctuary where unwanted/sick/injured/ abandoned pets can live out the rest of their lives in comfort. I would hire my family and friends to work there and pay them outrageous salaries.
I would also set up trust funds for my two more...

I would also set up trust funds for my two nephews for school. I would help my Aunt financially also.
I would also set up a grant foundation for child amputees to go to camp. (I work in a prosthetic clinic). After all that I'd probably be broke! less...
As far telling some one that I had money ,I dont think I would when I first met someone.If the relationship progressed to a point it was getting real serious (marriage) Not shacking up! Then I'de have to get a Prenuptuial agreement. Sorry ladies been burned before. I dont want to repeat that mistake again!!
I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I've been reading the other bloggers and this is what I think.
First, I would do the usual with paying off bills, and helping family and friends with some financial burdens they have, and I'd want to help some worthwhile charities. I would want to help some children's organizations, and programs that help get women on their feet to be able to support their children. I don't think I would want to tell many people about my good fortune (but word travel more...

I would want to help some children's organizations, and programs that help get women on their feet to be able to support their children. I don't think I would want to tell many people about my good fortune (but word travels fast); however, I would then like to make a few changes in mine and my children's lives. First would be a new house, and car, then some traveling. I would like to think that I wouldnt change and my ideas for a mate wouldnt change, but being a realist, I have to be honest and say that more than likely there would be some changes that would take place. First of all, I wouldnt be going to the same places and meeting the same types of people, I would probably be going to places I had never been to before and meeting many NEW people. I probably would not even shop at the same places, after all, I could afford more than what I can now. So while I would like to think that I would not change and my "tastes" wouldn't change, reality says most likely they both would. I just hope I have a strong enough character to handle the changes!! less...
Well firstly I would not change the type of person that I am looking for, if money makes no difference now I could not see that changing.
Though I dont think I would tell them unless I was already in a committed relationship. I would be too worried that they want to be with me for the money rather than who I am.
Firstly I would pay the debts, and help all my family and friends to make sure their lives were much improved by my win.
Then I more...
Thanks One2One, Guess I should share as well :)

Then I guess I would travel, starting from Europe and the UK and then probably the US and wherever the fancy took me.
I would put in place a foundation that managed Charity activity and This would focus on helping those who have suffered from abuse this includes kids, women and animals.
I would really like to start a program to build self confidence in all school age children as well as the basic of education like reading and math.
Of course I would have the luxury of having staff that did the mundane things like cooking cleaning, and gardening aargh.
This would give me the time to work out what I would want to do next.
Now there is a $50 million lottery here in OZ tonight and I have a ticket !!!!!!!
I will let you all know if I win....oops change that, I did say that I wouldn't tell xxxx less...
It definitely would not change the type of person I'm looking for. Although it would be very nice to be comfortable enough to really enjoy each other and the things we like to do without being endlessly bogged down by the need to make money, pay bills and keep life afloat.
I'd like to think I wouldn't tell anyone, but I know myself better than that ... I'd probably out myself to most of my family and friends, and keep it to myself when I meet someone until way into a relationship.

I'd travel ... Ireland, Italy, Greece, France and Alaska to start, maybe for a few months each. I'd love the freedom of waking up in the morning with the means to do anything I wanted. I'd go back to college and study art and architecture; I'd build a home near water, close enough to a major city for fun and culture; far enough that it felt like a retreat from the rest of the world. I'd have it landscaped with decks and patios running through wooded areas and low maintenance gardens, with an herb garden outside the kitchen door. It would have a library inside and a studio out back; I'd do all the stained glass work myself.
I'd hire a part time house keeper and gardener and keep a masseur on retainer. I'd learn to fly. I'd throw a party for all my friends and family, with envelopes for placecards, a little 'mad' money inside each, and a little more for those who needed it. And I would go through life helping people who looked like they needed it ... a homeless person on the corner, a struggling theatre company with great productions, a single parent with barely enough for a few groceries in the checkout line, LIBRARIES, and anyone at the gas station putting ten dollars into a car that looks like a miracle is keeping it running.
Now Oz, you never answered the question. What would you do? less...
Well I figure I'd have to spent close to a mil just to take care of my mom and her house/ and property.Then I'd donate a million to the" Wounder Warrior Project" . 1/2 million to the Va's Patient Hobby fund, A 1/2 million to the USO. Then a million for my kids set up in a trust fund for education.They can only use it for school tuition or medical needs. 1 million to start up a Firearms company.2 million to Afghan/Irac for Small Business loans( micro loans).

11 Mil post tax? I'd buy a small island in the Maldives, build an oasis on stilts, bring my mom there and hire her a local, tall, dark and muscled "cabana boy" just slightly younger than me to indulge her every whim. Of course I would divide my time between the Maldives and the South of France, depending on the season. I'd hire lots of staff at engorged salaries to set off my own business, set my children up with college funds, invest in vegetable oil - the possibilities are endless. O more...

The one thing I would make sure of is my mother would spend the rest of her life doing exacly what she wanted to do. less...

Plumbing, the pipes are 45 years old +. complete redo of the kitchen and both bath rooms.(New stove ,Ice box, floor coverings, cabinents, lighting )an add a dish washer and a nother sink. Electrical complete redo for the whole house. since a lotof the wiring is the old 2 conductor type with a Asbestos covering.I would have to upgrade the Main breaker box as well.New double pane windows all around the house .Fire sprinkler and alarm system . Also Security Alarm with passive and active sensors with non leathal intruder suppression and medical and panic functions. Reason for all of this is my mom is getting where she is having mobility problems and she has not done any home repairs in over 12 years.
