The very first thing I would do is buy me a car. I am old and tired of walking. The next thing I would is buy me and my son and his daughter a home. I don't want him and I to be homeless anymore. WE never know where the next place we will be staying. Help my son get his driver license. So when I get to old to drive then he can drive us. Most of what I want of all is a home to call my own. Never have to worry about being homeless never have to worry how to feed us never have to worry about where my grand-daughter is going to sleep. I like to help my daughter in getting her and her family a home to call their own. I would like to put some money back for both of my grand kids so they would never have to worry about what I have to go through now. Even though I will need a new liver and kidneys that don't worry me as much as not having a home for my family to come home to when they need a place to stay. That is what I would do with the money.

I am mostly poor but still would give it away. I would start by depositing the money in a few banks to draw interest. Then take 10 thousand dollars at a time divided into 100 dollar bills and find people who need it and give it to them one person at a time. Some would find its way to charities, but most would be given to perfect strangers in need or as a reward to those who are helping others in need. I would charge each of them to help someone else in the future when they were able. I don't really need money to be happy, but some people need it to survive, to escape pain, to calm a crying child, or to find a warm bed just for a couple of nights. How can I treat myself when many suffer in this world. Yes 10 million would not solve the worlds problems, but to those who can benefit just a little it would be worth it to me.

It's good to see there are wise young people, like you, who are capable of being financially responsible. Perhaps one benefit of the global economic crisis will be that a windfall no longer makes people think "spend, spend, spend!" Hi Katie, thanks for joining in.

I know this comment is really late for this post but I just wanted to say that this is amazing. Its good to know that there are people in the world like this. Now I am only 14 years old but this is what I would do with the money. First, I would keep some to pay for college for my 3 cousins, my brother and I. Of course I would spend some on myself but only very little as I would feel so guilty for spending that money on unnessacery things. I would put maybe 1 or half a million in the bank for later in life. This would go towards a house, car and any other expenses in life that I would run into. This money would make me feel very safe because I have a fear that I will not be able to make it in life and turn out to be a failure. the next thing I would do is give some to my mother to help her pay the bills. This is another fear I have, which is that we wont end up being able to afford everything and end up on the street again. After all that is done, im pretty sure there will be more than 5 million left and I would divide that all up and give it to different charities that are close to my heart. Such as, the make a wish foundation, broadway in south africa, unicef, cancer research and really any other charity I find out about. Its so important to me to give back to people. I have grown up very poor but I don't regret any of it because it made who I am today and I wouldn't change it for the world. I would always get stuff from people like a "secret santa" thing and I never understood it but now I do and if I had a chance to get that much money, that is something I want to do. I would feel like its a priority for me to give back to everyone who has helped me and even people who didn't because these charities are doing an amazing thing and I would be thrilled to be apart of it. I may only be 14 years old but im lucky to have figured a lot out, about life. That has made me wiser and smarter and im happy but I always am looking for opportunities to give back to people. I know I have gone way off topic but I felt that I needed to say this and maybe actually inspire a few people to be more giving. The world needs more of selfless people. God bless you all! Hi!

Everyone has their own dream plan of what to do with a sudden win, whether it's a lump sum or paid in instalments.
