What would you splurge on if you won the $90 million lotto draw?
Last week another Tuesday night passed and still the Oz Lotto jackpot hasn’t gone off. It’s a bit disappointing for all of us who spent our hard earned cash on a ticket. On the bright site, at least we had another week to dream about what we’d do with a cold, hard $90 million.
Last week I went to the launch of the Embraer Phenom 300, an Executive Jet that has never before been sold in Australia. If things go my way, this time next week I will have the winning Oz Lotto ticket in my hot little hands and I’ll be able to think about more extravagant purchases, like private jets. Imagine that, being able to fly 9 of your closest friends to Melbourne for an impromptu shopping spree or up the coast for some winter sun. And for only US$7.9million (AU$9.9m), you’d have plenty of change from your $90m for a couple of luxury cars to drive you to the airport.
What else would I buy? Well obviously I’d be calling the real estate agent to talk about my dream home. It would have to be overlooking the water with plenty of balconies and there would be a big fireplace for those cold winter nights where all you want to do is cuddle up with a hot milo and a book. And of course plenty of spare bedrooms for friends to stay when we throw those fabulous dinner parties and serve vintage Grange and Henschke until the wee hours of the morning.
Of course the altruistic side of me remembers that if I won, there would also be a fair amount of money going to charity. However the indulgent part of me wants to endlessly dream. I can just seem myself seeing the hippos and giraffes on a safari in Africa, enjoying a romantic night in a Michelin star restaurant overlooking Paris and splashing out on a boat cruise around the Caribbean with all of my friends and family.
How about you? What would you splurge on if you won $90 million?

I would set up trust accounts for my kids, and grandkids, then I would give a large amount to the church and buy some homes and set up a program to help house the homeless. I would probably buy a home in the US near the ocean and a boat, for my husband, but the rest of the money would go to help those in need.
I would buy a trendy terrace with lots of character near the City, put a large bow on the front door, ring up my son to wish him Happy Birthday and watch his reaction (wouldn’t it be fun!!!).
Seriously, 10 million for research into dementia, so the aging population can enjoy the latter years with grace.
Also, 10 million for research into cancer eradication. Perhaps great theories that have been put on the back-burner at the moment.
The delicious contemplation of what to do next!!
Cheers and best wishes
I would help my Family , do renovations, help charities /Chuch and Animal Shelters and Friends whom I know could do with some help.
I would set myself and my family up for life, a dream home with a gourmet kitchen and luxury bathroom, with a separate wing for my widowed mother who lives with me and her soon to be widowed twin sister. Buy a house for my only child and set up a trust account for him, help my close friends and work colleagues and then let loose with to all the charities that I feel could do with some cash that are overlooked by a lot of people, and maybe set up my own charity trust fund that would disperse funds to vetted applicants
Pay my house off
Buy another house in QLD
Buy my sister a house
Buy 2 other properties to use as an investment for my kids future
Help disadvantaged elderly to pay their houses off
etc
I would easily give half of it away to many charities especially to underprivileged kids both here and overseas, refugees, struggling single mums etc. Set up a foundation and invest a lot in property to continue to make money to supply the foundation.
I would buy myself the luxury of a 2 story home with an attic and cellar. And a beach front home. I would buy each of my siblings a house and give some money to my relatives both here and overseas even the ones I’ve never met or haven’t seen in 20 yrs. Even the family i get annoyed at and even probably buy a little property for my annoying ex just so my child has somewhere nice to play when he has contact.
I would give some to animal welfare organizations and in environmental technology.
I would also buy a yellow Volvo and a green jaguar and a grand piano. a helicopter would be cool but a little over indulgent.
Travel around the World.
Invest a LOT for my child’s future.
Really i did this with 20 million in mind last night and it was just too much money and stress.
Forgot 2 mention and be running(with my family).Cos once people know you’ve won that extreme amount.They could take my kids for Ransom
I would upgrade from my current terrace and buy the biggest mansion I could find in Newtown and also a heritage mansion in Chelsea, London. I would buy a house for my father by a river or ocean and a boat for him so he could go fishing whenever he wanted.
I would also buy an apartment in Chania, Crete close to the harbour. I would then invest enough of the money to give me a substantial income for life and also set up a trust fund for charities of my choice.
gamble all the money until i lose!
our family joke is if i win a big lotto draw, that the kids are off to boarding school, get a divorce and a toyboy. honestly though the kids can stay.
I would blow half of it on booze and hookers, and probably just waste the rest.
buy house, car, big as party, clothes,travel,shopping spree
i would set up trust funds for all the members in my family
finish all the work to be done around the house
buy a boat
help my mum set up another business
invest some for college
hopefully put the rest away for my future
but the last thing i would do is travel the world and buy heaps of cool clothes
i would also give money to the various charities that r in need of help like if a bush fire comes along again i would give money to that cause
I would buy my own army and make my own laws and shoot first,Ask later
Line up all cops,judges,CSA for a firing squad.
because i hate there laws.
And if i got change.Buy a few brothels.
i would buy myself a house, a car 9even though i dont have my license, i may get it one day) i would set my house up, i would pay all my family’s debt, i would have a table party, where you invite all your family and close friends and on a table everyone puts their debt, anything they want paid. and with the money i’ve just won i would pay it all.
i would buy some investment properties and live off the profits, i would set my kids up with homes and finances, with what ever is left over i would donate to charities.
In no particular order….
1- pay off my mortgage – then give the house to someone in my town less fortunate
2- upgrade my car
3- pay off my personal loan
4- have my dream wedding
5- Set my parents up comfortably for the rest of their lives
6- Same with my sisters – I’d buy them a house each and give them $100,000 to do with whatever they wanted.
7- put 10 million into a Term Deposit for my future children
8- buy a nice new home with nice new furniture
9- Take a looooong holiday
10- After that… I don’t know what I would do. I would probably advertise on TV and the newspaper for people to write me a letter asking for donations. I would assess who I thought was most in need across the country and divide it up between them all. I’m not greedy… I’d give most of it away, and have fun giving it to people after hearing their stories of how my money would change their lives forever.
Yep…. thats what I’d do!
I would buy a fishing license and back with my hobby, fishing.
i am happy with the 10% of that , i think rest i will donate (81M)..
would take my Local Council to Court and Sue Staff involved in my Subdivision for Imcompetence and Abuse of power entrusted to Council staff “” after 3 years, all information subbmited was what was required and Development Consent was issued staff EVEN tho was same development. Be carefull Not To Upset EUROBODALLA SHIRE COUNCIL “MAIN OFFICE STAFF ONLY Moruya ” as any Da you submitt may get the Microscope Treatment Rather than the the Normal assesment,
believe us we know many $00000 dollars spent to fight a fight that was part personal from them! dont like the person “Da gunna be near impossible”
if you woud like more detail contact me ,,think gunna right book did my 7 years as lvl 3 labouer with them
I would keep the whole lot to myself and my family. Most homeless people choose to be homeless… It’s been researched before…well before the economy died.
But I would set my family up, buy a holiday home… a couple of investment properties and leave the rest in the bank.
First I would ask for a million of it in cash and then my husband and my sons and myself would throw it up in the air in our lounge and then all roll around in it for a while for sheer enjoyment,Then when reality sets in we actually won it we would sit down as a family and decide what to do with it.To our families you wouldn’t be getting any there are people out there who actually deserve help.
Pay off all my familly’s debt’s,morgage’s etc!
Set myself up with a nice little cottage next to some deep water and have a boat that I can waiste away the day’s cruisin with friend’s etc ! Trust fund’s for all and see what’s left to charity organisation’s and various research programme’s that need the finances to find cure’s for the various illness’s that are destroying people’s quality of life.
Bank it first then decide what to do w/it, cause if i go with what i want then it will go waste…
Run for Prime Minister…….. WOO HOO
lets see. id go study overseas, id buy a pink diamond for my auntie, pay of my parents mortages, and take everyone i know on a holiday
Pay off all my family’s debts and a round the world ticket all expenses paid holiday for all 70 of them, it’s a big family. Buy my first new car, new cars for the kids and a fabulous new dog house for my pooch.
Donate to charities. At last I can afford to buy and eat 4dozen oysters. YUM!
90% of it I would spend on booze, whores and recreational drugs. The rest I would squander.
I would pay off my kids debts like houses cars etc. Set up a trust account for my grandkids and their kids. Buy the place I am currently living in and have a wonderful holiday, not necessarily overseas but somewhere I would like to go with my husband that we would both enjoy. Then donate money to the Royal Childrens Hospital in the name of one of my grandkids.
My main goals would be:
Purchase my dream home to live in and a holiday home.
Purchase homes for my adult-children and their children.
Also purchase a house for my sister and sister-in-law.
Buy new furniture for my new home and my adult-children’s new home.
Set up trust funds for my grandchildren to give them a great start for their future and their children’s future.
Buy homes or pay of mortages for people I know or yet to meet that need some assistance in their times of need, generally helping out families while enjoying my journey throughout my life.
Donate to charities such as animal rescues, the blind society and small organizations that are self-funded.
Thank the situation that lead me to the lucky numbers and smile-smile-smile.
pay off my home, a holiday overseas, set up trust fund for my cousins and neices
find out some way of helping my estranged sister,
and investment property or two,
5mil in an investmetn account and the rest to Westmead Childens Hospital so they never have to raise money for anything again.
5mil to raise Alicia’s fund: a fund to help people who struggle to buy basic neccessitiesfor their family at supermarkets.
90 million ha. wow that is a lot of money. the first thing you have to do is the money. and the odds of that is 45 million to 1. i would say the odds are stacked in our favour. i would buy a few houses, a hotel in Mount Gambier, a holiday house in Queensland, give money to the cancer and asthma foundationthen invest the rest of it
Go into hiding for 6 months. Its all mine you can’t have it. Go away. Its not a case of what would you do with it. Its how many friends would you have that you didn’t want? But seriously. Buy a big property, put up some really big nasty fences & build a house right in the middle of it. It would have a hers, his, & kids wings. Help out very few family members & set my kids up for life, invest & enjoy life in general. Although I would still refuse to buy a brand new car til the kids get older. New cars & young kids do not mix well.
*sigh* The amount of times I have done this!
I would build my dream home on an acreage…nothing too over the top or extravagant. Pay off every single cent of debt I have.
Buy an investment property for each of my children and put a significant amount into a trust fund for them as well.
Pay off my parents mortgage and all their bills. Buy my Dad the boat he has dreamed about since who knows when. Then take Mum to a no expenses spared spa retreat while Dad’s off fishing.
Buy my sister and her family a house.
TRAVEL…Take the kids to Disneyland and see the World. Maybe a month in Bora Bora alone too.
Donate money to several charities that have significance to us – childrens hospital, breast cancer research, etc.
Anything left would be spent on a shopping spree in New York. Or maybe Milan…
Thank goodness dreams are free!
I dont think i could spend that much money without wasting most of it. A lot would go to family ,friends, charity, etc. as long as i have a house a bed and good health what more do i need ?
i would buy a f**king Island oh and set my kids up for life.
I will splurge on nothing. I will keep sufficient money for me and my family to last a lifetime and the rest will be given away to the poor. I will lay down conditions to my family’s entitilement to the money – they will have to work till their retirement. Until then, no money. Work is vital for good health and builds character.
I will set up factory to help poor relos; sponsor at least 100 priests through studies to be ordained; give to charities; buy house each for two kids; take mother and sister on a pilgrim tour; buy waterfront apartment [Sydney, Gold Coast and Auckland]; hold a big party for the homeless; sponsor reunion of high school and university friends; money for research into cancer, dementia and heart diseases.
Easy. First of all, find a great financial advisor (probably my father). Walk into the bank with cheque in hand and tell them I want the best interest available, a credit card with a $3 million limit. (with frequent flyer points of course). Buy a nice investment property or 10. Give a set amount to each immediate member of my family (brother, aunts, uncles, cousins). Set up my grandmother and parents with a suite on the Queen Mary 2 for a year long round the world cruise (all expenses paid of course). Throw a party for my friends and have the best gift bags available! Call up a big department store and have them open after hours just for me! Fly to America on my the Qantas A380 in a first class suite (with a couple of friends) and go shopping at Tiffany’s in NYC. Buy $5 million of shares at random, donate $10 million to charity. The remainder, leave in a bank account and then live off the interest.
I would retire from the workforce immediately, never to work again. I would give my mother and my sisters a million or two million dollars each and I would find myself a nice island somewhere and buy myself a nice home on a farm, where i would have animals to keep me company. I love the mountains and the sea and I would want to find an island that had all these attributes.
I would occasionally give large amounts away to charity from time to time but I would put whats left of the money in one of the big 4 banks and live off the interest.
I if had the opportunity to become rich I would make sure I would stay rich by making sensible investment descisions and not spending money on stupid or wasteful pursuits in life
give $25 mill of it to the CHILDRENS hospital and another 25 mill for cancer research….pay off our mortgage plus our kids homes…..oh what a dream !!!
What would I splurge on if I won $90 million? Freaking everything

I think $90mill is mor money than what I could ever possibly imagine in mine or anyone else’s lifetime. The answers above convince me that these are very immature individuals with no real sense of worth, and who would end up like most lottery winners. Broke within a few years. No, I believe something like this is a blessing or a curse depending on how good your administration skills are and how disciplined you have been over many years with what you had. It must be fully realised that something like this can only come around once in a lifetime and it must be handled in a correct and mature way. I’m not saying ‘don’t Celebrate’ quite the contrary, but also obtain legal advice and give some away to help others, especially the sick and needy, or to your local church. Invest the rest and make it work for you, yes, buy property, choose wisely your investments, and don’t quit your job. We live in hard and uncertain times, so always use wisdom and consider everything.
I will immediately tithe $9M to the church.
Buy a home for me, bright, airy, modern overlooking the water , pool bedroom facing the water,on the Nth Shore, and another one I have my eye on,on one of the beaches- same features.
Buy a Mercedes Convertible.
Buy 2 investment properties, possibly commercial.
Give my friends/family/work colleagues varying amounts.
Establish a trust,and set up a committee to disperse the rest of the funds to people in need, from diff charities to paying off peoples mortgages ..but those that are accepted will have to go through training that I will establish to get out of their negative mindset ( if they show evidence of this)
Give to other charities both here and overseas…Youth Off the Streets,MSF, Oxfam etc
Open 2 hostels for homeless people…one female and one male and eventaully organise social functions between them! : )
Do my masters degree, b/c that costs about $25K.
Continue to work where I am currently, one day a week, but the wages that I earn will go straight to my charity fund and/or on diff days, I nominate another colleague to receive my wages for that day : )
With $90 million I would make as many positive changes to the world that I could. I would spend a month researching charities to help and instead of giving them a one-time donation I would place $50 million in a few investment accounts and then have 80% of the interest from those investments paid out to the charities on an annual basis. The other 20% would go into growing the capital so that there would be an ongoing increase on the amount of donation every year.
With the other $40 million I would make sure my own needs were met, I’d buy a cattle station (Yes in Aus we call them stations not ranches), I would set up trusts for my kids that could be accessed twice a year only and I would travel a lot.
I would spend the money wisely.
!. A fully wheechair accessible house for myself.
2. A new house for my mum
3. A new car for my mum
4. 30 million towards finding a cure for spina bifida,which is my disability..
And whatever else I can think of.
BUY THE PUB
I would set my whole family up, buy an art business, build an eco friendy home for myself up the coast and open a new community centre for indigenous kids and adults. I would donate heaps to children and animal charities and I would buy a small submarine and hunt and blow up whaling ships. First I would tell the crews to get off, then blow the ships to hell!!!
Firstly, all the sensible things like donating, paying off debts, sharing money with family etc….
Secondly, I would go on a gastronomical tour of Europe & USA, meeting celebrity chefs as I go. Dining in Michelin star restaurants for a year is an absolute dream of mine and my husband…
buy a horse to ride… and …pay for a new federal election
I’d give the whole lot away at once – good causes which would benefit from my largesse would include the Environment, Human Rights groups, refugees, Social Justice and Development agencies like IWDA.
Firstly hide til dust settles and tell no one. Then pay off all debts of self and family. Invest to keep money pouring in. Set up business building houses for disadvantaged people. Keep working to stop people being suspicious
I would buy the North Quennsland Cowboys and then I could be the ultimate NO 1 supporter.
But seriously isnt that to much for 1 person to have, I would be happy to share that with 59 other people.
I’d do like most and give a lot to charity, cancer research etc. All my friends would have their mortgages paid out and some extra for whatever. BUT, I would do this secretly so that they never knew where the money came from.
I am happy with our life so apart from a house cleaner and future new cars and holidays, I really don’t think I’d splurge.
I could live very happily off the interest of a $1M investment.
I only really want to win so that I can purchase a farm for a family member.
Seriously, this amount of money should be broken down into no more than $5-10M lots.
I think that it’s important not only to think of what to do with the money, but what NOT to do with it. I’d not spend or give much to my kids, even though I love them to bits. I’d help them with it to do anything they wanted but I’d not give them enough to do nothing.
I’d not spend much on a house or a car. It took me years to find a place I can be a part of and I don’t want to waste time doing that again. I’d rather remain a part of my community than have a lovely house in a flash resort far from all my friends of many years. (I’m quite sure they don’t all want to move to the Goldcoast with me)
I’d not spend a huge lot on charity or retire from work. But I would spend a big lump on starting an engineering business locally, that local tradesmen (like myself) can benefit from servicing the mining industry in South Australia. Without having to leave their families and go bush. Kills a lot of birds with one stone that one. Does my community good at a lot of different levels and it could also keep generations of my family employed.
But I would travel. And I’d insist that my kids do too. But then I already do that. Even with relatively little money it can still be done. I earned less than 30K/year, paid maintenance, paid off a house and still sent my son to Germany as an exchange student. Travel is do-able already.
So! Having looked at all the things I’m not going to spend $90M on, and at what I want to do that I don’t need $90M for, I’ve decided to go straight out and not spend everything I have on not buying lotto tickets. I’m on a dead cert guaranteed winner here!
I’d pay my house off to leave only a couple of thousand to pay. (Bank fees are too expensive and i wouldn’t want them to make more than they already have) Just on principal. Take a world trip and miss the nasty destinations. Buy a house for each of our Kids. Set up trust funds for our 3 grandchildren. Buy new cars for all. Give some to charities etc. Maybe invest in something near the beach. Never work again but do voluntary work in worthwhile areas.
Possibly buy a new bigger house for ourselves and have my parents move into this one. (only 6years old.)
And enjoy life to its fullest.
Be quiet about the situation telling no-one.
Keep the money in several hiding spots on my property (many acres)
Over many months and years slowly help others annoumously without them ever knowing the source of where it came from.
Buy items from time to time without others wondering how.
‘Keep quiet about the money!’.
1 year has passed……Didn’t tell anyone
2 years have passed…..Didn’t tell anyone
3 years have passed…..Didn’t tell anyone
and so on and so on year after year.
I will know who is to benefit when I pass as they will be true friends and family because I kept quiet and they wanted to be in my life for who I am not what I had.
Charities in need will have donations given annoumously.
“Shhhhh” I say nothing!”
when the jackport was at 40million. i went to the shop to see if i have won something. the shop owner scanned my ticket, look stunned and informed me I have won something big. i was like “yeah right”. he then told me he was serious and started looking at the ticket for winning numbers. i was curious why the machine didnt manage to inform us the winning amount immediately as usual. soon..i realised ive got all 6 winning numbers instead of 7.!!!! i won 4k plus with no regrets or whatsoever. im contented even though im 1 winning number away from winning 40million. its my biggest winning since caribbean stud’s 4 of a kind (9 years back). god bless”” : )
ohh.. if i win 90 mil. im going to buy my parents a nicely furnished bungalow. 1mil cash for my siblings and parents for their shopping spree. buy some apartments, land n house , shop lots and empty lands. venture into food n beverage chain restaurant chain. travel the world. and not forget.. donation. cheers!
I would get polished floorborads, new carpet and build an upstairs haven, pay off my mortgage, buy an investment property. New car, help my family and friends out where they needed it, BUT I WOULD NOT TELL ANYONE HOW I COULD AFFORD IT. That would keep life simple.
I would do all the good I could to change a lot of deserving peoples lives![including my own!] however I would hire a few professionals to help me handle this money, so I dont squander it! I dont think there are too many people in the world who would know just how to handle this amount of money at their disposal. thats why I would need the professional help! A win would be good..great..fantastic!!! I could not really describe it in words.
If i won the big one i’d be elated so i’d spend each day from then on making other people enjoy that feeling. Invest enough to live off the interest and the remaining money i would start an acoustic guitar program which would see all developing countrys kids with new guitars in hand to learn and improve there quaility of life… I’d also buy a new computer because this one is slow and about to go flyinbg out the office window..cheers!
Buy a house for me, for my brother, for my nanna pay off my other brothers mortgage, put money in my kids account. donate money for cancer research and give money to the the childrens hospital. Buy a pub.
Of course look after my family first, and finally take a holiday. BUT, my priority has always been since I was a child to build a retirement home for the elderly & convelesant, young and old. This would be state of the art & under 24hr camera survalance,all staff would be on camera, even relatives would be able to log in & see around to check on a loved one at any time,something like big brother.I would invest in a holiday appartment & reward kind staff,cruel staff would be charged using film evidence. Mark my word.If you have nothing to hide then a camera shouldn’t deter.ONE DAY WE WILL BE OLD TOO.
I would buy myself and anyone else in my family without one a house – new car, and set my 3 kids up. I would also put a few mil in the bank to live off the interest for the rest of my life, and make sure that I do up my will….. finally
WHAT COULDN’T TOU DO!
If I won the $90 million I would:
- Buy myself a house
- Pay off the mortgages/ buy houses for my family
- Start my own craft/ quilting store/ cafe, bookshop and music store
- Invest some in top funds and stocks around the world and live off the interest
- Go back to do the grand holiday around Europe my husband and I had planned several years ago
- Have my kids
- Set up Trust Funds for my nieces and nephews
- Give some money to charities especially cancer and kids foundations
- Donate some to the school I went to as a kid
- Have some fun
I would keep enough for myself and family and give the rest to the less fortunate, by personal donations, No charitable organization can I trust.
I would pay off all my families debts,pay off some of my best mates debts.. give a million to rspca, put 50 mil into an interest account. Go crazy basically..
1. Organise accounts for various charities for a yearly income and then inheritance of capital at a later date.
2. Help family and friends (one-off).
3. Buy a house
4. Take an overseas trip.
5. Invest the rest to have an income to free up time to do volunteer work.
seriousley what would and can you do with this ammont when u have everything you are not goingf to be happy nothing to wish and work for i really dont want that much its too much and it would change you as a person u become more hungry for more money so i think its just to much $1mill is ok ill be happy and satisfied becuse think if u have everything whats your dreams what u wanna achive nothing you have whats everything how many homes u need just one how many cars and boats and cloths its just to much money i wouldnty want it all just give me 1mill and ill buy $500 home nice car boat and keep few $30000 in the bank
i would defnitly have 90 million freinds after i win
If I won 90 million it would be to much to comprehend. All of the above answers are all the same, so not much more to add. Money can bring happiness to some and misery to others. I honestly think 90 million is way too much for only 1 winner. They should of divided this obscene about of money amongst several people. I don’t know if I would be extremely happy if I won that amount of money just way too much for me.
Whoever wins this amount will never be happy.
I would proberly wouldn’t tell a soul, and just maybe disapear. Have time off from everyone of life’s things, go to Japan, enjoy life without working for a long time!
PARTY AND LIVE AN AWSOME FAST LIFE
2million to each of my family member. 2million to my mentor. Go on a huge holiday with my family.
Then I would employ financial adviser to create a situation so money will make own money.
Donate a million each to few charity, for children and people who are struggling to find clean water and food.
Donate RSPCA a million provided they take care of this stray cat that come around to my house and annoy my cats.
Set up my own luxury hair salon and actually pay my staff descent wages with all the benefits!
Work part time and never worry about price tags!! wooh hooh!!
I would invest by buying gold and silver bullion. I would help my mom and my best friend in Seattle. I would set up foundations to help needy and less fortunate people and would not make myself public and would remain anonymous.
I would fix up my ever increasing and never decreasing debts forever. Quit my university degree programe and go home to my native country.
Immediately i will go to work developing my native village to modern township accessible to medical services, education, road/air network infrastructure.I will build utilities infrastructure ( phone,power, water systems) I will build community halls and churches in every villages. Invest in agriculture and land cultivation systems for people and setup export network. hire expertise from around the world to come to my home land and propect for ecotourism potential and minerals deposits to help engendered and enrich my people. Bring in educational professionals and preachers to preach the gospel and educate my people. Donate good proportion of the money to help develop my province and my country through charity work chaired by myself. Help every single person I know by name whom have meet me before and knows my full name. A token to everyone who calls me by my name. It will be my biggest dream to bring properity to my people who this day still lives inproverty far more worse than the day colonial civilisation come 50 years.
I would give 10 million each to my 2 brothers and 10 million to my best and only friend and donate 10 million to numerous charities. Then i would buy a house, set up a trust fund for my niece, a car each for myself and my partner, lose weight the right way, then i guess i just dont know from their its a lot of money but you dont want to just go stupid i would make it last a lifetime.
Give to Family & Friends
Donate to animal foundations
Donate to environmental foundations
Donate to Brain Cancer & Leukemia Research
Travel the World
Go to Uni to study Vet. Science
Start up my own animal shelter
Buy land, land land.
I would invest sufficient so that the interest earned was enough to sponsor 1000 children overseas. I would pay off the debts of myself and my nearest and dearest. I would invest sufficient to give me and my family a good income. Purchase 20 houses and rent them out cheap to needy families.
I wouldn’t give any of the money away at all. I won it so I deserve to keep the lot of it. No charities, none to friends or family, cause if you do they will keep knocking on your door for more money. So I wouldn’t tell a soul.
Surely there’s bound to be more than 1 winner of the 90 million dollar Oz Lotto, with the amount of National attention that’s been given it?
Will Oz Lotto reach the Billion Dollar mark?
The numbers falling down tonight might mean there’s several winners, and I wonder what kind of money will be invested by a money-hungry nation for this week?
Yeah. Lots of questions and tonight’s draw will see the Answer.
i would buy a new pair of shoe laces
It’d appear that a high percentage of replyees to this page are saying how they’d keep a small percentage for themselves and give the rest to charity/family.
Seriously, I suppose I’d do much the same though I suspect that many would just fritter it away stupidly.
If ever money was anything but a source to everything
this windfall is sure fire power for everything one dreams of. I gut feelings is its never enough to man’s need. the more you have the more debt you incur
A facinating and vicious cycle
If I won the 90 million I would give it all away to people who really need it. What’s money when you have money!
I would fix my house up but I wouldn’t shift I have been here all my married life, then pay my four kids houses off, then buy us all a car.
Then I would like to set up a basic little town in the outback for the aboriginal people like they do in Africa , very basic more huts than house just the way they would like it with a medical facility and school with no alchohohe or drugs and where they would all participate in the running of the commune and the ongoing costs< I am of aborigine descent but these people are tribal, and whites always set up houses etc and try to make them live like us..
lego, I like lego
well lets see ,I would stay in my house and renovate leave work after an month buy my dream home on river and new car ,give 1 million to each family member and close friends tell all Ive won 15 million only .
then give 5 million each to RSPCA , Deaf Society,Pricess Margaret Hospital,Cancer Foundation,Mission Australia I would then invest the 50 million left over into trust accounts which then each year interest would be given to charities all over find a good financial adviser to set up
I would spend all of it on my dog… like solid gold bones and diamond-encrusted biscuits, etc.
I cannot believe all of the above responses. IF YOU WON 90 MILLION WHAT WOULD YOU DO, all of the above answers are typical, materialistic and boring. You all are greedy people wanting the same things as everyone else does. Why not think of something else good doing instead of thinking selfishly about yourself.
GIVE IT ALL AWAY!!!!!!
Wow it would be wonderful to think that we don’t have to slave ourselves off to pay the mortgage. That would be nice. Four more houses for investment and the rest would go to charity. That is simply enough for me.
GET A LIFE
I would build many schools in Africa. Donate to the AIDS research, CANCER research, renovate village houses in the rural areas, build as many boreholes for clean water.Make sure that all my nephews and nieces go to private schools for a better education that I didn’t get. Lastly, my family, husband and kids.
number 1 ten percent to the church number two all family debts paid plus trust accounts set up ,number three rspca these people do amazing things with very little govt assistance , number 4 cancer research again great work but nil govt assistance , number 5 genuine battlers defiently helped and for me a nice trip to my favourite city london uk , but as silly as it sounds i will keep working defiently no drunken parties or flash cars really not necessary .
WHO NEEDS MONEY WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN WHAT’S OFFERED?
Waco Jacko blew way more than $100 million on ridiculous self-indulgence, then blew his brains out with prescription drugs, aged 50. Money doesn’t buy happiness, even for the people you give it to. Imagine killing your relatives with millions of unearned dollars.
I’d like to set up a micro loan foundation with interest free loans that helped people to help themselves with education expenses, venture capital, franchises, renewable power systems, recycling centres, community theatres, and self help centres for homeless people. Since it would ultimately be self funding, I could then reproduce the program in other countries around the world.
My husband and I talked about this last night. We both decided that we would pay both our car loans off…which is like $6,500 for mine and $23,000 for his. We would by a house in Anglesea which is just passed Toquay which wouls cost about $1-$2 Million. By my mother in law a house where ever she wanted and put the rest in the bank to live of pretty much for the rest of our lives….have kids along the way…..give a little to the brothers and some to my dad………and by a rottiweiler puppy which is like $2000-$5000 for a good breed one.
I would pay off all my debits and pay my daughter’s school fess for the next three and half years. Upgrade my car and invest the rest.
I would pay off all my debts that myself and my family have accumulated buy two houses and rent the other out buy myself a car go oversea’s for a while which is something I have always wanted to do.
I would also look at building houses for homeless people which is a cause that I am passionate about starting local in the area where I live then see what happens and supporting some worthy causes that support homeless people particularily youth’s.
Then I would rest easy complete my studies, get employment, support my future generations as well as my existing friends and family and never ever ever have to deal with centrelink again not even when I decide to retire.
I would immediately take a holiday to London flying first class on the new A380, five some millions to my mum so she can own her first house, then buy my house, get a car license and buy a car, donate to the Diabetes Foundation( I am a diabetic) and invest the rest – perhaps starting my own business.
Put the money where my mouth is that Gods people first, my people second, relatives and friends, immediate family and myself last. This is the order of distribution.
for sure i wouldn’t go on a holiday first with all plane crashes latelymi want to enjoy the money first i will go up to my boss and tell him where to go and that i dont want to see his face ever again and than half will go to children hospital and Brest cancer and help my family set up trust accounts for my 2 kids and i will have another 2 kids i can afford and i will enjoy the rest of my life i will spend on anything and everything
we would put the whole lot in the bank, ask the bank for the first years interest in advance and just live off the intrest that way you never need to use the capital and will always have money for the rest of your life
I would give all the money away to you guys that have been responding to the above blog.
Take my wife and kids on a round the world tour together with my best mates.Pay off my debts,buy another house on Malibu Beach,send some to my mother and father,donate some to the charities and invest the rest.
I would probably die from seeing the numbers pop up on the TV matching my ticket. Lol! But seriously if i did win my mum, dad and brother wouldn’t get a single cent from me! I would take the money and run. Buy a huge luxury house with a tall brick wall around it, a boat, a helicopter and a sports car all for myself! I would donate to kids charities,diabetes fund, cancer research and a huge portion to animal charities. Now that would be awesome living all by myself with everything i ever wanted. I don’t want to have kids so i would have heaps of money. I would have a will so if i died my money would go to the RSPCA.
Good Luck to all!!!!… Remember to donate!!!!
