    Buy alot of land in this area
    Build a custom house on it with numerous amenities
    Buy my mother a house
    Pursue my own businesses
    Buy a BMW 760Li, Cadillac Escalade ESV or Land Rover Range Rover and a decent hybrid vehicle or alternative fuel car.
    Have more kids, maybe 3 more.
    Buy more stock
    Help some families hands on


    I'd still keep working my current job for a bit 'till my own businesses rake in money.


    15 million is a small amount for a lottery.

    Our Powerball was around 250 million at one point.

    I hit that, I'll definitely quit my job.

    15 million isn't enough to quit.
    I'd probably have 8.5 million after taxes are paid.
    I'd still have to pay high property tax on my home.
    I'd have more kids and their tuition for private school and college would need setting aside.
    My current medical benefits are excellent.

    8.5 mil IS enough to quit. You wont even make like 2 mil in your whole lifetime with even a good job.

    I'd say a good job is $200,000 a year. Folks in my job often go over $100,000 without blinking. My job also provides me medical benefits.

    Even with interest payments, it's easy to eat up your money.

    Property tax has to be paid on your home or you lose it regardless of whether it's paid off. Kids cost money. Heating and cooling a large home costs money.

    The only way I'd quit is if my businesses take off.

    You are counting what I make now but when a lifestyle changes it requires more money.

    £125 million ($8 trillion) for the Euromillions lottery tonight. If I win I'm buying myself a country.

    I'd quit college, quit my job and then buy myself a new house to live in
    Those who dont learn from the past are doomed to repeat It.
