1: Pay off my credit cards.
2: Replace my heap of **** car.

That's all, I'm pretty happy with my lot at the moment... Money isn't everything, I can't see a few million making a difference to my general wellbeing.

Besides, if money IS a motivation, get out and earn it  ;).

I wouldn't waste it on the lottery in the first place. ;) Ask any sensible financial adviser anywhere. The lottery is a money drain, often addictive and an unnecesary expense for 99.99% of people. Invest your money in a house, or if you have spare look at the financial markets; don't gamble it.

#1 Pay off credit cards, and sundry loans ....
#2 Portion off a bit for non-essential immediates.
#3 - Portion off a bit for family and church.
#4 - Invest the bulk for the quickly approaching "golden years" and not be a financial drain on family, friends, and fellow citizens.

Did you know you are more likely to be struck by lightning than win the lottery? ;D
