Here are some of the top suggestions that people in Buffalo said they would spend the money on if they won:
- Pay the rent for ten families. One person said they would do something constructive for the community and pay quite a few people's rent. Answers like this serve as a reminder of why Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors.
- Buy a home. Many people would use their cash as a downpayment toward buying a home. Considering how many great houses are for sale in Western New York, this idea is great.
- Spend $40 and still have $29,960 left. There's a lot you can do with $40.
- Make some home repairs. Considering that Buffalo has some of the oldest homes in America, this is a reasonable way to spend some cash. I know my house could use a few updates, and $30,000 can help you get quite a few things done.
- Pay off debt. One of the bad things about the last two years is that many people were out of work and subsequently fell behind on bills, so using this chunk of cash will help us get caught up.
- Invest in the community. Quite a few people said they would invest in some positive neighborhood activities, whether a local small business or a community project. Buffalonians help Buffalonians, and this is another great example of that.
- Buy a new car. $30,000 in cash can really help you get a great used car or a hefty downpayment on a brand-new car. It's a good idea.
- Build wealth. Whether it's investments, high-yield savings, or something else, this cash would be a significant amount of start-up capital to make a dent in building some long-term assets.
- Go on vacation. It could be a cruise, lying on the beach, or flying to Europe. We have worked hard all year, and you deserve a vacation.
- Have a very fancy dinner. There are several restaurants all around the world that would love if you dropped $30 grand on dinner and drinks.
