    I think about this all the time, wishful thinking I guess; if you won the lottery what would be the first few things you do. What would you spend your money on and what would be the first thing you buy? If you were generous, would you share your wealth with your friends and family or a charitable foundation? Which charitable foundation would you make a donation too?

    Like I said before, I think about this all the time and never come up with the same answer twice. I'm not sure if I'd want a mansion or just a small house somewhere. I would definitely want a few cars and trucks; exotic and domestic. My house would have one of the best home theatres available in the market today. I would like to travel the world and see what each country has to offer. I would make sure my family is well taken care of and make sure my son is taken care of for the rest of his life.

    As for a charitable donation, I think I would make several donations to different foundations rather than just one.

    What would you do? ;)

    I'd probably donate some of the money to a few charities that I feel deserve the money. Then I'd buy myself an old Mustang fastback and a bunch of other things that I've wanted lately. Probably travel around the US for a while, buy back the New Jersey Nets and keep them here in Jersey instead of Brooklyn (damn you Jay-Z!). Then take whatever's left and invest it.

    First off I would pass out from shock and put some of the money toward my medical bills.

    It depends on how much I won. But I'de want to move to an island resort and have a personal jet with my house being a giant mansion with glass walls so I could look at all of the ocean and stuff. Then I'de also want to buy the most popular websites on the web, and buy all the most popular bussinesses. I'de hire people to do the work for me so all I'de have to do is sit and play around on my computer all day while eating raman, rice pudding, chocolate pudding, and fruit.

    That would be the best life I can imagine. IT'S MY DREAM LIFE!!!

    Ehh... I wouldn't care. For 2 reasons:
    1. Not many people will be island hopping when I get a shower.
    2. They probably wouldn't even know who I am, lol.
