[QUOTE](Aug. 31) - A young woman who won over $3 million in the lottery when she was just 16 says she blew it all on wild shopping sprees, breast implants and cocaine.
Rogers, from Cumbria in northwest England, was a shop assistant when she hit the jackpot in 2003. Now 22 and the mother of two young children, she says she has about $32,000 left.

money doesn't make you smart, nor does it make you responsible.

What would I do with 3 million dollars?

I would use to to pay off all of my accounts which are outstanding. After that, I would probably buy myself a nice, cozy house in a decent part of Houston.

The rest would go in to savings.

I'd do a line off her ass.

$3 mil is nothing. I'd pay off my small amount of debt, and save the rest. Retirement would be taken care of and I could blow all the money I make on more hookers and blow and sweatpants.

I think the trick is the first word on your mind and out of your mouth needs to be "investing"
