First, nobody but me would know if I did win big!!

I see stories on the news all the time about people who have some critical medical condition and have no insurance. Or a child who has a disease and needs special treatment but the family can't afford it. These are the people I'd love to help. I'd help them on the condition they not reveal who funded their treatment or who helped them. I hear about people all the time who've had some tragedy cause upheaval in their lives and every time I hear about them I think "if I could just win the lottery I could help them."

There's a show on TLC called "How the Lottery Changed My Life". I watched it once and was so disgusted at the manner in which these people wasted their money that I haven't watched it since. Lavish homes, dozens of cars, ridiculous furnishings, etc. Maybe it's just me but I couldn't enjoy any of those things knowing that there were people going without the bare necessities while I overindulged myself.

My kids would be set for life. I would be debt free. But nothing outlandish or over the top. We'd be comfortable....but so would alot of other folks, too.
