Billion dollar lottery-if you had won, what would you do?
« on: January 20, 2016, 04:51:45 am »
Did you dream big before last wednesday billion dollar lottery was aired on tv announcing
The winners. It was exciting and scarey to be a part of the game. We purchased a few tickets,
But did not win  anything. If i did win, i would have retired,  hired a lawyer, paid off debts, moved, take care of my family, made donations, traveled and enjoy life.

What would you have done?

I would definitely buy a home and customize it to my liking, taking in to account that I have cats and would "catify" that house so that it's comfortable for them.  As far as a vehicle goes, I'm not looking for luxury.  A simple Mini Cooper (just because I love them so much!) would work for me.  As a matter of fact, I'd probably be so ecstatic about getting myself a Mini, I'd be giddy, LOL!  I would make sure the rest of my family was set up for the rest of their lives.  Last but not least, I would give a big chunk of change to our Veterans who so deserve a good life, I would donate to animal rescues to help animals (because I love ALL animals), I'd donate to ALDF (Animal Legal Defense Fund) because they do so many things to help animals, and I would most certainly give to a Children's Hospital to help the children with so many problems.  The rest is just GRAVY.

I would pay off debts, buy an RV and go where the road takes me.

And I'd probably give most of it away, after making sure my family were all settled.

I would pay off my student loans, maybe buy a car, and give some of it to my family.

I would have paid off my debts, given some to family and charity, and then never be seen again. :)

If I won it I would not show my face on television. I would give ten percent to my church. I would give some of it to charity. Then I would share some of it to my family members.

I'd be opening a cat & coffee cafe (with rescue cats available for adoption) and also spoiling my own cats even more...   ;D

I would have paid my kids homes off and bought a new home one story  for my hubby and I with a large flat lawn  so I could ride on the lawn  mower to mow all day

I was dreaming for sure! I would have bought a new house and a new home for my mom. Helped out family and friends, donated to charity. One thing I also would have done was open an animal rescue sanctuary. That is something I have always wanted to do because of my love for animals.

If I would win any type of lottery I would still continue to go to school (even if it was the billion dollar ticket), and finish my degree and still work. I'm 31yrs old and a stay at home mom going to school so when my daughter is old enough to go to school I can get out in the workforce. I would be bored sitting at home all day by myself.
