in the news there was a man who stopped for gas and bought a scratch-off lottery for $5 and he ended up winning 200,000 dollars, this happened in north carolina. if i won a lottery ticket for a lot of money i think i would put a down payment for a house or buy a house if i get enought or if i get a good amount but not enought to buy that big of a purchase i would save half of it and use the rest to do things like get my nails done, my hair, my lashes and buy myself things i want. i would buy a house with the win of a big purchase not only to have but i would also have in mind buying a house to have as a home for a vacation of a couple days to keep a good income, so basically i wouldnt want to own a lot of different properties to rent for a couple of days.
