I won quite a bit of money in the lottery and my family wants it. Any ideas for investments or charities?

I would like to get in on the ground floor if anyone has any good ideas, or is starting a project. I don’t mind some risk, if the idea is strong.

Set a portion of the money aside to give to your family and let them know that is all of the money that you will give to the family and give each person a small portion of it. Then you can keep them out of your hair so you can do other things. If I ever had enough money, I would buy a house with alot of rooms and help single mothers go to college while living in the home. That is my plan.

Well I have 4 kids and I’m a single mother. I can not work at the moment because I can not find proper child care for the two children that don’t attend school.( I would love to be working) But here is the deal, Me and my kids are living in a small 2br, 1 ba home, you could donate about $2,500.00 to us so that we can pay the down payment on a new and bigger home. Charity I guess you could say, but I would consider it to be a blessing. Ty

I have several things for you.
April 10, 2009, 8:13 pmThe stock to buy is Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), up over $2.50 today. IPO in JAN 2006, huge growth potential.
The reason you would invest money into a charity is to offset income. There will be a limit you can invest in a charity. So give the limit and no more. The best ones….NO any one will do Red Cross or any Jewish or Catholic (in their medical facilities).
Lastly, there is an up and coming use for the internet. In just a few years people with web enabled GPS cellphones will be using them to find places. Places like restaurants, golf courses, doctors offices, shopping. They will be going to a web site and dialing in the place they are looking for or they will tell the web where they are and the web-site will direct them to the nearest restaurant. Do you like that??
