I only have one ticket for tonight's drawing but I've been giving this a lot of thought today. the prize is right now at 370 million dollars! I don't know how many zeros that is but I know what I would do with it. I would put a million in a trust fund for each of my grandchildren, give each of my three children a million, give a million each to my church, ASPCA, and the Salvation Army. then I would do a few things to my house, add a pool, some new carpets, and some new furniture. The rest would be invested for a rainy day, and face it with all those millions it could rain pretty hard! What would you do with all that moola??

Pay off my parents' mortgage and send them on a dream holiday and then buy my dream house and spend my days looking after cats. I'd donate to all kinds of charities too.

I like that you would take care of cats. Not enough people care about the animals.

Ours came from a small rescue home/charity run by a lovely lady out of her own home. It really inspired me and I thought that if I had the money I'd like to do something similar. Too many animals need good homes.

LOL--- I play at work with a bunch of people and on my own.. I would enter the land of the retired! I would set my parents up for life! I would buy my brother back from Iraq (I'd try anyways).. I'd move his family to NY-- I'd buy a house in alot of states and travel...
I'd pay off all of my cousins mortgages (I have 13 cousins)..
I would donate a big chunk to cancer research!
I would invest! Invest!...
All we need is a dollar and a dream!

Hm, thanks for such a creative discussion because now I get to tell what I would spend the money on. First, I would be about half of it into savings/CD/investments; second I would buy myself a new house; third, I would buy my grandparents a new house and a car; fourth, I would donate money; fifth, I would buy some nice clothes, sixth, I would donate money to some charities that I like.
Have a nice day.

Definitely give some to our parents (4) and siblings (6). Put some away for my son for when he turns 21 and towards his college fund, buy a house because we are currently renting, do a little bit of travelling, and invest in the rest. Good luck with the draw tonight!

Well folks needless to say I did not win even though one of the winning tickets was sold right here in New Jersey! Tune in next time, maybe one of us will get lucky!
