First thing I would purchase would be a tractor for my DH. He has two but neither one works. Gets one fixed and the other breaks.

I was day dreaming about this the other day too as we have had a lot of stress recently as hubbie has been off work ill.

~I would first pay off our mortgage and bills.
~Then give my parents enough so they could both retire.
~Buy 2 old land rovers, as eldest DD and OH always wanted one.
~OH wants goats
~Book a lovely family holiday.
~Buy eldest DD a flat near Uni.
~Youngest DD any clothes she wanted and her room decorated.
~The dogs could have some posh new beds, i'm thing pretty Cath Kidston.
~And Of course lots of craft supplies for all of us as we all do different things.

I don't buy lottery tickets though so it will always be a daydream lol!

Pay my bills off, pay my moms house off, set up trust funds for grandkids,pay off son and daughters houses. Buy a new ride. Have my house remodeled with a bigger sewing room new machines, and then I would book a Bear Hunt in Alaska just to piss the ex off it is a dream of his. Retire and enjoy my sewing room. Just a little bitter aren't I ??? And donate to the local animal shelter to keep them going. And if I won a really big lotto I'd open a fabric store, and have someone give lessons, have machines there for the younger set to use, just make it a place that people would want to come and sew, quilt or just visit.
One can dream right??

I would buy/build my dream house. We live in an old/icky farmhouse. My next thing to do would be to purchase a fuel efficient car for my DD who will be doing an internship 50 miles from home this summer. Her car (AWD SUV) does not get very good mileage. The third purchase I would make would be a new Viking Diamond.

after finally getting my new home, I would share it with my family...providing it was a big jackpot! Hopefully there would be enough left over to build a senior center and a place for stray animals.

I'd pay off my son's mortgage, get him a new SUV and myself a new car. And then I would enclose my front porch so I could quilt outdoors in the warm weather.

I would pay off our morgage. Take care of my son and daughters morgage. Then I would set my best friend up in a very nice home built for a handicaped person. I would pay the medical bills for some of the uninsured breast cancer patients at the cancer center.

Charlee do you not like Oregon? Why not? Oregon is beautiful. It's always Green or at least where I am at near Grants Pass.

I'd pay off my 4 kids houses, give mine to a needy family and then build a log cabin with a huge sewing room with a Tin Lizzy. There would be lots of room for my pups to run and I would open a kennel so they could have lots of friends. That would fill up quick because I would be rescuing as many dogs as I possibly could and hiring people to help take care of them.
I guess I had better buy a ticket? LOL and it better be a BIG pay off!!!
