There are €38 Million in the German Lottery
what would you do with so much money?

Me? I would buy me an apartement, go shopping for clothes, take a wonderful trip, give a bunch of money to my family, get me a year ticket for the train and donate money to a charity. The rest of the money would stay in the bank and get me a yearly allowance :)

3. I would get a nice massage while deciding what to do with the money.
Then I would ride my bike to talk with an accountant.

6. They tell people who win the lottery
to talk to a accountant and councellor. Honestly, that much money scares the shit out of me.

7. Me too...
I imagine scum would start dripping from the walls. But yeah, I would hire a lawyer and accountant first.

Then I would make sure my sister and her kids and my mom were hooked up. After that :: Travel for a few years.

8. You know, even with so much money
I still would work. There would be no reason for me to stop. But my vacations would be a lot easier :)

10. I would still want to work...
It would just be a different kind of work. Instead working in a warehouse moving car parts I would work on feeding kids.

16. I'd have fun giving it away
Giving away strategic amounts of money to lots of people can really change lives. Selfishly it would make me feel good in the process.

21. LOL - just teasing us huh?
Although I like my job, I'd quit in a New York minute. With those kinds of dollars, there's a lot out there that will amuse me.

It's going to be a cold one again here today, and windy too! I'm so tired of the wind!
