re: Powerball winnings - $500M!

Travel the world w/family
Still finish school and work very part-time
Help my mother pay bills and pay off our house
TTC my FIVE kids and put money towards their college funds
Pay my brothers' way through school
Focus on my writing career
Sponsor poor children overseas

Oh I forgot. I'd pay off our bills too. :-D

As usual, I didn't get even ONE number. Lol

I didn't win.  

Guess I have to go earn my money the hard way like a 'Merican.

Sorry you will have to keep earning.

My tenants have so many tales of woe these days. There is only so much I can do to help right now. Hitting Powerballl would have been REALLY cool for nearly everyone in my world. Oh well.

Did anyone win?

Quoting TheNuge:" What would YOU do with your winnings?"

I would pay off my debt, my mom's debt and my grandma's debt first.
I would buy a home and a bigger car to suit our family.
I would make a trust fund/college fund for all of the kids.
I would donate to a cause I believe in.
I would tip the person who sold me the winning ticket.
I'd go on vacation/travel the world.
Then I'd save the rest....

Oh, I would still finish school and work.
I'd also not only pay my grandparent's debt off, I'd give them money and buy them a new home if they wanted. My mom too.
I'd also help out the rest of the important people in my family. Like give them a large sum of money, pay for their school, whatever.
My family would definitely not want for anything.

Quoting TheNuge:" I've noticed that a lot of you arent intending to do much with your money. Many of you will probably ... [snip!] ... and upgrading your car wont make much of a dent. What will you do with all the unspent money (if this describes your intent)??"

Give some away and save, save, save.
Hopefully save enough (possibly invest) so that my great-grandkids would be well off.

Yes, I would have another baby and maybe adopt one...
I might be adopting 2 in the next few years, hopefully. If their parent's don't get their smurf together it might be in less than a year...

Quoting TheNuge:" I have heard that the lumpsum amount witll be over $300m. So, I'd make sure i get it all in 2012 to avoid ... [snip!] ... that needed funding for expansion and hiring of lots of people. I'd travel the world and bring my parents along to babysit!"

Reminds me...I'd get new boobs and lipo/tummy tuck..mhmmm.

Quoting Dr. Paradigm Shift:" I'd build a museum for just artwork done by kids. It'd have free workshops and art education classes, ... [snip!] ... Maybe it'd have a library as well--with just books by kids/teens, which would offer writing workshops and things like that."

Ooh that's awesome.

I'd want to do something for kids who've been abused for sure.
Not sure what, but something.

I'm sure we didn't win. The ticket is in my volkswagen in the carport, though. I don't care to run down to check, but I'm sure it's a safe bet we didn't win.

Whateves.

We live a nice life with a lot of good love.

If my library's gonna happen...it'l happen.
