Oh dear, I don't play the lottery either. I know I have heard of people who were broke two years later and/or it ruined their lives. Saw something on TV about this the other night.

I'd quit my job.
Buy a fabulous condo.
Give money to family. Put my nieces through college.
Donate to animal organizations.

Will never happen but I can dream.....  ;D

Tell you what, if it were as much as that kid from South Dakota won just last month, I'd quit my job and head for the mountain West, almost certainly Wyoming. The air is so much cleaner it would be so much better for my health. Even in Denver, on my recent trip, I noticed that when I wake up in the morning, my eyes aren't all gummed up  :P like they are every morning here at home.  >:(

On the trip I was a little bothered in my nose because of the dryness of the air, but now I'm prepared for it, a little spray bottle of saline solution would take care of that. I could probably even learn to make my own.

I would pay off all my bills and then I would pay for a tune up for Chuck's Purple Car.

I would spend part of it to buy myself a cabin in the woods.   :)



This particular cabin can be found at Babcock State Park in Fayette County, West Virginia.  It isn't for sale, but you can rent it.

That would be bliss, Gary.  :D

I´d probably spend most of it on travel. Everywhere I went I would rent a nice car for months at the time and would spend the nights in B&Bs or secluded cabins.
I would also ask my parents if there is anything they want, and whatever it wold be, I´d buy it for them.

Ah, one of my favorite games when bored: What would I do with 20 million Euros? I like to play it when I have to wait for a long time somewhere (and don't have a book), or can't sleep at night, which rarely ever happens, but spending 20 mios is sure more fun than tossing and turning in your bed and worrying about the hours ticking by. I always play it with 20 millions, don't know why, LOL.


I would give to friends and family, I would donate to charity, I would buy a new house (or let this one have a top-notch remodelling, including some modern amenities), I would carefully invest, and I would set some aside and save it in form of diamonds or gold, or something like that.

But the best thing: I would travel more. Later, when the kids are grown, I would really get into travelling. A road trip across Canada, from east to west, then fly down to California and travel from west to east across the US (and I'd visit Brokies along the way!). More road-trips through Scotland, nah, what the heck, I'm a f*cking millionaire, make that all of UK. Scandinavia, OZ and Kiwi-Country. And tours with the motorbike through Spain, France, the Alps, Italy.


Ahhh, sweet dreams :).
