I'd pay off the kids student loans, then the rest of the bills. IF there's any left over, I'd like about 100 acres to retire on and a new house on it, which might actually be several houses for friends and family members that need help, or I want around!. I'd help out my sister's kids with their education, then see what else everybody needs and set myself up with some type of income producing business, because I'm sure there won't be any winnings left!! :lol:

I would add on MY OWN SEWING ROOM TO OUR HOUSE. I wouldn't have to move at all. I would be fine to stay here but would slowly buy up the property around me and bulldoze each house. This way our property would grow larger and larger. I would take a REAL vacation.....! Never been on one of those so I'd probably want to. I would travel in our new travel trailer so DH could drive and I could sew. HA!!
I never gamble so if I were to buy a ticket I would feel very guilty giving to the church but would want to.
Nice to think about what I would do. :)

If I won the lottery I would retire. Work is not fun any more. I would love to stay home and make all the quilts on my list. Then spend some time with my granddaughter. We live on the west coast and she lives on Long Island. It is hard for her to know her Grandma that far away. I would love to teach her to sew.

I would buy a 15 thread embroidery machine, then help my kids. I really have everything I need....house may be old, but it does it's job, and it and the car are paid for.
I don't need a lot...don't want a lot...but my kids are grown & struggling with their family & finances.

You sound so sweet! I agree, my house is fine with me. Not paid for yet but it is big enough and I like it. So, I would have to move.....I could save that to buy fabric with! HA!! I would help my parents and my mother in law....father in law passed away 4 years ago. (wouldn't be too concerned about dh's brothers-they don't really like us or come around and seem to be doing fine anyway-I'm sure they would come around if they knew they could get something out of us though; but my brother and sister could use a boost. ) My Mamaw and I would go shopping! She's a hoot! She's 85 and gets around very well. :) I love my Mamaw!!!
You all have a great day.

I would wander around the grocery store, find the person(s) with the most kids, most groceries and pay for groceries. (you KNOW who they are!) Also I would go to the $ store and Goodwill and be Santa and hand out hundred dollar bills. (or more!) Wahoo! I would help as many people as possible..........
