My luck if I did win I would die from a heart attack just from hearing the news.

But if I didn't... I'd end up giving the majority away.
I like helping people.

I'd start a trust fund that would help pay ppl's mortgage and bills while they are waiting to get approved for SSDI.

I would build a lovely community of affordable houses where people w/MS could live when they needed more than a little assistance.

I would build a yarn store and hire people to run it for me, and then I'd go and sit in the store every day and crochet or knit.

I'd build a house for my sister wherever she'd like one built. I'd also have funds set up for my nieces to go to whatever school they wanted to attend until they've graduated. (that means from grade school on up to the highest educations they can attain if they want)

My dad could quit his job and retire and do whatever the heck he wants to.

My aunt could quit her job and do whatever the heck she wants to.

I'd probably pay all the medical expenses for my other aunt that has a chronic medical condition (not MS)


I'd build a house for myself, using stone from the debris made by the blasting that's done at Crazy Horse Memorial. I'd also donate a lot of money to the memorial so that the Sioux would be able to build their schools that they want built on the grounds around the memorial. Or at the very least, they'd be able to do a lot more blasting to carve more of the memorial

I'd get my car (a '99 Toyota Rav4) fixed up.

I'd buy a Bouvier des Flandres (a dog) and just have a blast training it.

I'd donate money for MS and Austism research.

I'd also probably ask my boyfriend to marry me and then we'd take vacations all over the world and visit museums and yarn stores all over the world. I'd love to visit famous battlefields that I've read about. (Culloden Moor in Scotland would be the first place I'd go visit)

I play this game all the time.....if I actually played the lottery it would be more fun because I'd actually have a chance at winning!!

I would set up accounts for both of my boys and also pay off their vehicles. They have both done so much for me and have grown up to be such good young men. I just want to make life easier for them.

I'd pay off every debt I owe and put enough in the bank to live off of comfortably...not elaborately...just comfortably.

Like the others I would use a large part of it to help others who are hit with unfortunate circumstances through no fault of their own. Every day on the news I see people who have lost everything in a fire or some other tragedy and I think how nice it would be to just anonomously have a check delivered to them that they could use to start over again.

I would also donate a huge chunk of it to the no-kill animal shelters here so that they could expand their programs to care for more displaced animals that just want a loving home.

I could think of alot more but I need more coffee!!

If I won 30 million dollars I would.....

Build a little chalet on a river of my choice.

Build each of my children a house (nothing fancy just a nice warm home)

Buy each of them a car (new and reliable but again not fancy)

Pay off all my parents bills.

Pay off my brothers' mortgages

And make each one of my immediate family millionaires by giving them each 1 million dollars,

I would also give a few of my close friends 1 million dollars

Give to the charities and researches of my choice and then

go shopping for all new things for me and my house.

I'd give some to Motormommy so if she gets some, she'll give some to me, right?

jmiller, Duct Tape is not a good investment but you could buy some in different colors or are you a silver traditionalist?
