もし宝くじに当たったら・・・ If you won the lottery...

probably give some to charity, travel around the world, invest money in different companies, build the burton batmobile from the 80s movie, buy a few houses around the world

If i will win in the lottery i will buy my own big house and travelling around the globe, on all beautiful places i have not see in my life and the rest of the money i will put in my bank.

たくさんのお金を手に入れたからと言って、人は幸福になれるわけではありません。宝くじの高額当せん者を追跡調査すると、不幸になるケースの方がずっと多いことがわかっています。
ヒトにとっての幸福とは、愛情空間や友情空間で他者から承認されること 以外にありません。それを実現するにはいくつかの方法がありますが、理想は、自分の好きなことや得意なことを仕事にして高い評価を獲得することでしょう。
ジョン・レノンは歌で、メッシはサッカーで世界中から愛され、莫大な富を手にしました。
ただし、そんな夢を実現できる幸運な人はきわめて限られています。私たちの大半は、生きるためになにかをあきらめなければならないのです。もう一つ覚えておかなければならない大事なことは、ヒトはお金を稼ぐことで幸福になれるようにデザインされてはいない ということです。

If I won 2 Billion....would be great...I would..
1) Buy 1 house for my parents
2) Buy 1 house for my brother and 1 for my sister
3) Buy 1 house for myself.
4) I would work, and pretend like nothing happened, maybe this would be greedy of me, but I don't want the money to run out, so I would work hard, and except my family to do the same.

I would donate to a few orphanages that are doing the worst with items not money, so that it is not used personally, but not a lot.

You can achieve a similar result by becoming a 引きこもり. I just gave you $2 billion worth of advice. That should bring me some good karma.

But man, you won't be in SPACE!

Plus, s/he didn't say he's going there alone

SPACE!

Buy the 200+ acres of woodland next to me FIRST. Then, put in orchards and plant special grasses and plants for the deer to eat. Fence in more of my yard. Add awesome patio 'rooms'.
Go to NYC shopping and flirting with all the hot men until I could stand no more.
Buy a Honda, maybe even an S2000, but maybe just a Civic or Accord.
Then, get plastic surgery. While my face is healing, I'd travel.
Hire someone to watch my place and pets, then travel - Ireland, Belize (again), Japan (most of it, esp. Okinawa), China, Vietnam, Provence/France, Wales (where my ancestors might be from), Spain, Greece, Basque country (where my blood type is from)...

Then donate money to send female kid geniuses to private schools, so they could earn their own scholarships to college.
Donate money to my nephew for animal/cat&dogs causes (nephew will be a vet). I can trust him to spend the money well.

I like the idea of buying land...I've always been an outdoors person and also a prudent investor, so this is right up my alley. Like they said, God ain't making no more of land! (Unless we get into outer space)

I wonder: assuming average lottery winnings ($100M? $200M?) what is the biggest % of a state that you could buy? i.e., can you buy up like 1/10 of South Dakota or something. No offense to any South Dakotans!
