If you won €1 million in the lottery, what would you do with it? Write an essay and include your ideas. Give reasons for your choices.

Hi, I’m Irynka. I’d like to share my essay with you. If you won €1 million in the lottery, what would you do with it? Leave your comment.

If I won €1 million, there are many things I would like to do with the money. While treating myself would be enjoyable, it’s equally important to support others and plan for the future.

First of all, I would buy myself a PlayStation along with some fantastic video games. Although I currently own some games, they are not of high quality.

Secondly, I would purchase an office for my mum, who is a doctor and really needs it. I would also buy a new car for my dad, as our family requires a second vehicle. Additionally, I would get my sister a new smartphone, fulfilling her long-held dream.

Thirdly, I would donate €25,000 to a military hospital for wounded soldiers and officers. This contribution could fund the purchase of essential medicines for the patients.

Finally, I would save at least half of the money. In my opinion, it would be unwise to spend it all immediately. Moreover, by investing the money, it could grow, providing more to spend in the future.

To sum up, I would treat myself and my family, support charitable causes, and allocate a significant portion of the money for future savings and investments.
