Say you won the lottery

I think I would get a nice piece of land and work with an architect to build my own designed home with wacky crazy stuff in it like a whole room that was just a marble run.

the first thing I would do would be to go to grad school.

after that, I'd get a job that was more rewarding intellectually, if not financially, and use investment interest on the remaining money to supliment for the reduced income.

I can't imagine not working, though... unless I had a stupid amount of money and could basically live my life in school pursuing multiple PhD's. hah. I'd love to have PhD's in English Lit, Sociology, and Biology

No, I'd just invest it all and bump up my income by a few hundred thousand a year.

I'd still be doing the same job and living in the same place.

Put $4million in an account gaining 4% interest. Quit my job and live on the $160,000/yr interest. Nice and safe, just the way I like it. Now all I have to do is win the lottery, but first things first...I have to start playing.

I'd move about 20 miles from where I live now to a gorgeous lakeside house. Paid off for about a mil, invest the rest, continue to work at my current job until the investements really came home.
