Buy a house on some land.......

I'd have to go to bed & sleep on it.

I would tear out this nastey pee pee stained carpet and pay someone to potty trian these dogs!~

Thank God , Then set up an fund for www.smiletrain.com  that would never be depleted and know every kid no matter where they were would face life with a smile. Then I would take myself out for a nice dinner with my son  and future daughter in law in Brazil. Then get on with my life I will have done as much as humanly possible. All would be good in my world at this point . I could face God knowing the days he gave me mattered and he would see I was grateful .

I owe my mom an incredible amount and she would be repaid first thing.  Patricia, Tom, and Dave debts they make payments on; I would pay off their debts for them.  A nice gift to my church, some charities I prefer, and establish a trust for a no-kill shelter for dogs and cats.

For myself, I'd get a convertible sports car and cruise California Hiway 1 from beginning to end with the very excellent stereo cranked up pretty loud.

Invest some for my kids and granddaughters....can't be handing them cash....might as well use it to light the stove if you did that. 

I would prefer to WIN rather than INHERIT. 

Probably be depressed at seeing just how little of the 2 million was left after my greedy government took their share. With the remainder, I would invest in gold as I believe our dollar will have no value soon and only gold and silver will mean anything.

All lottery winnings are subject to Federal taxes; many smaller jurisdictions also levy taxes. The IRS requires at least a 25% withholding of any gambling wins in excess of $5,000. However, the net for a major jackpot winner is often misleading. Winners often find themselves in a tax bracket much greater than 25%, often paying additional to the IRS when they file their returns.

On top of the federal tax, there is a state tax. State tax differs from state to state. Could be 5,6,7% or there abouts depending on the state.

Do the.........  New home, car ,holiday thing ,see what family members want, and then set up a organisation that caters for animals needs. eg....cheaper veterinary care for the people that can't afford to get thier pets vaccinated or desexed.

Do repairs on my house---my basement, my back porch, new carpet, etc. Then, sell it and move somewhere else- - -  -maybe even to a different country. Australia----here I come !

Find a good place to hide it from my free spending wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be in a state of shock,....for a week or so, then take care of my immediate family, and then,..... I PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I would make sure my Mom had every single little thing ... then I would finish this bathroom reno as it has now escalated to over twice as much as originally expected and then I would sit down and think.... Oh and get that gardener that I seriously need.... and think.

Thank you for your response!

Will tonight I would go sleep as a millionaire................

I would go to sleep with a smile on my face. The next day, I'd book a six month's trip on the largest ocean liner.

Thanks Bob/PKB love your vision. Hope it happens to you.

Thanks Jenn. Your response is so funny to me.
