If you won the Lottery...
We've all fantasized about buying houses, expensive cars, massive trips, etc, if we won a massive Lottery prize.
What's the first "practical" thing you think you might splurge on if you won a few hundred million. Something that you might possibly buy now, but just can't quite justify it.
I would buy new fencing for my yard. It's falling apart, and I'm thinking of getting it replaced, and it's kind of in my budget, but I'm still hesitating on going ahead with it.
Even if I sold my house to move somewhere bigger, I'd want to replace the fence to make it sell easier.

Re: If you won the Lottery...
We'd renovate our kitchen and our driveway right away.
Then we'd buy a boat. We had to sell ours to buy the house and we miss it dearly.

If you won the Lottery...
I would finish my upstairs and do a few small renovations to my current home to get the best profit, then I would sell it and move into a bigger house

Re: If you won the Lottery...
Pay off my bills.
Buy my retirement home -> this is in the plans, just not right now. I'd be able to change the location though.

If you won the Lottery...
Pay off my mortgage and bills, sell my house or give it to a family member. Buy a slightly bigger house but nothing crazy.

If you won the Lottery...
I guess it depends on how much I won. If it's multi-million then I would get a different house. If it was several hundred thousand, then I would do some nice landscaping in the backyard and pay off the 2 cars, then put the rest away for retirement.

Re: If you won the Lottery...
There would be nothing practical about my spending 
Except that I'd probably do a lot of work on my parents house and try to convince them to sell and move closer to me. Though they have the money to do it now and choose not to

Fix the master bathroom, but that's about it... not putting a lot of money into a house I would end up selling.

Re: If you won the Lottery...
Pay off my credit cards, then set up a college fund for DS.
After that, buy three houses next to each other, one for us, one for my parents/brother, and one for my in-laws.

Re: If you won the Lottery...
If I won lottery I would:
1) Pay off all of my debt
2) Move out of NY to someplace a little less crowded and slower paced
3) Buy a craftsman style home with a huge kitchen
4) Buy a hot tub and pool for the "new house"
5) Buy myself a new Kitchen Aid mixer............the one that is a beautiful copper and about $1K!!
6) Open a little cozy bakery/coffee house that specializes in just a few awesome treats. I would do the baking and my DH would run the business
