if you won the lottery?

I would build myself and my sweetheart a log cabin in the middle of nowhere with a giant sewing room with the newest quilting essentials. The property would have a large lake stocked with trout. Buy 4 wheel drives to get in and out. A huge garage for my darling to work on all his cars out of the weather. Matching Harleys.
I would love to open my own floral shop to make arrangements for any occasion. Using the flowers from my own greenhouse. At my shop, I would display all the wonderful quilts that I'm gong to make.
It make me breathless to dream!!!!
Never let go of your dreams!!!!!

I would give money to my daughter, sister and brothers! Buy a new sewing machine for myself and finally be able to send my husband to day-care for the Alzheimer. Get some new furniture for this apartment, and take a vacation.

Oh, gosh !! My dream: I own 10 acres of land, owe absolutely no one, except monthly utilities. So my dream is to buy the four people out that live on each side of me, two are 10 acres each, one is 20, the other is 40. And I would continue living in my little shack right in the middle. Guess what I'm saying is, I'm happy with what I've got.

Not being corny, but if I won a huge amount like that, I would feel obligated to do something charitable. I mean after all how much money can one person spend after helping family and friends. Personally I don't want or need a large fancy home or expensive cars just want to be comfortable and free of worry. I would love to set up wonderful homeless shelters for all the poor,abused animals in this country or an organization to provide assistance to our seniors. Just think of all the senior ladies out there that would love to quilt and sew but have no money for a machine or fabric. Wouldn't it make you feel good to help someone and put a smile on a face? Guess that sounds phoney but realy wouldn't you be obligated to do something for mankind?

Pay off all debts. Give $$$ to my church. Set aside $$$ for kids and grandkids, go back to Ireland. Maybe spend summer there. But first of all arrange to get $$$ in way not to pay alot of taxes. Yea right!!! And good luck to me.

It's so funny how many of us would like to be sort of hermits.
With the computer it's so easy to be connected to those we want to be connected to and avoid the rest.
I think I'd like to have a house near a lake or river/stream type thing off the beaten track, no neighbors to pollute the water.

Give 10% to Habitat for Humanity.
Divide remaining cash in half. Divide one-half by number of kids. Use each portion to pay off the mortgage on each kid's house.
Put 1/2 remainder of each portion in a CD with interest paid into checking account. Put remaining 1/2 into that checking account. Give each kid an ATM card for their account.
Take my half and lease a stateroom on a luxury liner for six months to a year. Go around the world several times.
Take some money and go to the casino in Monte Carlo

The first thing I would do is set up continuing college funds for every kid in my whole family.
Other than that I'd pay off my house and buy a new car. I'd probably do a little bit of remodeling and build on a nice big dining room.
I wouldn't buy a longarm though. I could afford to pay an expert.
