How would your life change if you won the lottery?
A few weeks ago the world’s largest lottery jackpot in history went off with a bang – a very GREEN bang. And the US bounty had me daydreaming. Did you?
You had a one in 292 million chance of winning the jackpot, you could have taken home $1.5 billion US dollars.
As it turns out, the sum was won by three separate ticket holders who each pocketed US$328 million.
Hard to get your head around isn’t it? That kind of life changing event. Your future literally dripping in diamonds (if that’s what’d you choose).
The only thing I have ever won is a meat tray, while on holidays, at a local RSL.

I'd buy a house nearby and upgrade a few things, then invest so I could study, give and donate to my hearts content. That would be fricking awesome!
I'd pay off my mortgage and my sister's mortgage and HECS debt. I'd buy the house my partner and I currently rent and I'd have built-in wardrobes put in all the bedrooms because we don't have enough storage space. I might add an extension too, a master bedroom and en suite upstairs. I'd go on a holiday with my partner to the Galapagos Islands, he's wanted to go there since he was a little boy. I'd invest the rest for the future and for contributing to philanthropic projects. And I'd go part-time at work so I'd have better work/life balance.
