I would love to live back in the 1800's (although that wasn't part of the question.) I'd want to be American, female, Christian plantation owner (rather wealthy).\n\nToday? I'd like to be a male, American, Christian, upper class gentleman.

i'd buy a few small houses for my family, hybrid cars for my family as well since most of us dont have cars that freak'n run right half the time, if i won a ton i'd give away ton of it to help out other people... particularly women in africa and other desprite regions of the world.  i'd go to school pretty much the rest of my life and travel on my time off and maybe even do a med school thing and join doctors with out boarders since i'd have the time and money to do med school with out the pressure of having time to affoard to live the rest of my life.

I'd move to the uk where they speak English, and travel the world based from there.  Travel is so much cheaper there than in North America, gotta make that million last.

Unfortunately, the lottery is only open to citizens from countries where there are low rates of migration to the US, to promote diversity. Citizens of the UK, Mexico, India and China, to name a few are not eligible.\n\nIt would have been great if you could join though, as most of you guys already speak better English than we do. LOL!

I'd Clean out Bill Gates (or some other Mega-Wealthy persons) bank account.\n With thier $Money Machines... They'd make it back!!

I would change the federal income tax system to a federal sales tax. This would eliminate the huge tax burden from the upper and middle classes and make honest tax payers out of every consumer in the country.

Well, first I would move to England to win the money...\n\nOr, if we just convert it over to the U.S. and make it $90 million.\n\nI would pay off all my debts.  Buy my small island I have dreamed of, and design a paintball course and vacationing spot on the island.\n\nSecondly, I would pay off my families loans and debts, then get a second home.  \n\nI would also invest a good chunk of the money, opening my own business around the country, and maybe even abroad.  Perhaps build a Night Club or two, and of course retire from my current job.  Or quit, if I can't retire.

I doubt I would do anything differently. Money is nice up to a point, but I believe too much is probably just a pain. What good are all of those worldly possessions any way? Just a bunch of junk. Maybe just maybe I would get a high speed internet connection so I could answer these questions more rapidly. Ha ha.

My Mom, she would whip this country into shape. : )  She did a good job with four kids as a single Mother.  She knows right from wrong and just imagine how she had to make a budget work. \n\nI'd definitely vote for my Mom. : )

me? i would make sure i go to the  BEST college, that i have THE appartment while i study and then i'd start building myself the house of my dreams wherever i want! after that, if there's anything left, i'd spend some on shopping things i can't buy now and some i'd try to invest so i'll always have a source of income.\n\nthen again , maybe not! i'm too young to do all that. let my folks do it! it's their responsibility anyways! yep! i'd prolly just squander it all on trips, clubs and shopping!

I would like to be well enough to enjoy life again with my husband and to see my mom out of pain also...\nI would also like to be out of debt, so if you are in the business of granting wishes???

I'd say if you live in America and you dont speak English, then English. If you do, then Spanish.

I'd pay off my moms home both my parents are in poor health-mom has cancer and dad has both a heart condition and diabetes. Then I'd help my sister(42) who had her first child and some medical issues due to a car accident . I'm sure she would love to take it easy and take some time with her son. As for the next thing I would help my fiance start a small non profit martial arts business- he was born with CP and is a SIFU (martial arts instructor) . His dream is to help others and I guess mine is to help him see it through.\n\nSorry I couldn't pick 1 thing!!
