With our economy the way it is, and you won the lottery, what would you do....

with the money? My dad and I were talking and he said that he would pay whatever he had to pay off, billwise, and then help out our loved ones. I told him, that after everything he had done for me, I would pay my bills off, get my kids taken care of and then help him out. He is a business man. He needs to get a good foot in for one of his ideas to take off. I feel that me helping him out finacially would give him that start that he needed. I would love to get the homeless a home to live in. I would love to make sure that little old people had a place to go for entertainment and love when their families have given up on them. I would love to pay the teachers that deserve the regognition, better pay for their services. The possibilities are endless! Then I would go to Wal-mart! What about you? What would you honestly do with the money? Would you spend it on whatever or take care of you and your families?

I think I would pay off all my bills and debt, buy a home on a small piece of land and start stocking up on supplies. I'd make it as self-sufficent as possible. I'd also add a second house for anyone in my family that wanted to join me.

I feel you there! With this crunch we are going through, stocking up on the extras is really nice! I can only hope one of us gets that blessing! I could really use it right now! Best of luck to you, and thank you for the response.

I may seem like a weird idea, but I have said for years that if I won power ball I would buy an apartment complex and make it smokers only. I think "no smoking" is discriminatory and think that just because a person is a smoker, it doesn't make them a bad tenant. I've never read any studies that show smokers to be more careless, sloppier, ruder, or more dangerous than nonsmokers.

It also bites that we have to go outside no matter the weather to have a smoke and relax on our breaks at work, then put up with rude people as they walk by and snarl at you for smoking near them
