If you won the lottery, what would you do with your newfound riches? Submitted By kimbereli09 View other answers

Assuming it was the proverbial million-dollar jackpot, I would, in order of increasing frivolity:

1. Pay off my parents' mortgage.

2. Buy a nice, new, reliable, environmentally-friendly car (but probably not a Mini - it's a splendid vehicle in all four respects, but the back seat is cramped and my parents already have one); let them drive it, but learn to drive.

3. Get all our bicycles repaired to fighting trim; get a new bike helmet that's designed for freakishly oversized heads like mine.

4. Have a nice family dinner at a good restaurant.

Whatever remains, I would invest.
