Ever wondered what you would buy with your lottery winnings? A mansion? A zoo? A private island? A sports car? Anything that money can buy? These seven luxury purchases were made by lottery winners after they won a large sum!
Sports Car
This is such an obvious choice but one of the most popular luxury items purchased after winning a hefty payout. There’s more to driving a flashy car – it’s a symbol of wealth, power and style. A Lamborghini ranges between $20,000- $500,000 (R339,842- R 8,496,055) but that’s pocket change compared to a large lottery payout.
Boats and Yachts
Yachts are probably the preferred mode of travelling for the rich and famous. It could be yours too. They are the ideal way to travel in style to your luxurious vacations away from prying eyes.
Real Estate
For many people, purchasing their dream home (and a few extra properties) is at the top of their list when they come into a huge sum of money. Looking for your own private island or a mansion with an ocean-view is a good start.
Travel
Traveling the world is at the heart of most people’s bucket lists. When most people win the lottery, a luxurious trip somewhere in the world is a given. Imagine traveling in first-class, a chauffeur awaiting to take you to a 5-star hotel – can it get any better?
Donating or starting a trust
Giving back feels good and in many cases, a certain percentage of lottery winnings go towards supporting a good cause. Getting free education or a chance to donate to your favourite charities are also two luxuries many individuals cannot afford. For many lottery winners, this is a nice way to spend their windfall.
Plastic Surgery
Procedures with top doctors is pocket change compared to lottery winnings. You could enjoy the luxury of tweaking your body, in fact, you would have enough for a complete makeover if you desired. If you are Tik-Toker then you’ll be familiar with the latest obsession with BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) – “a fat transfer operation that takes fat from one part of the body to be injected into the buttocks for an enhanced and more voluminous look”. This procedure costs between $2000 and $12,000 but varies per surgeon.
Betting
A number of lottery winners continue to bet their winnings. It’s quite a common occurrence for some people to win the lottery twice.
