Me: I would buy a cute little beach house for me and my family, Give a lot of money to my church, and travel to every country in the world... Start a program that trains people who can't find work in marketable job skills, and Oh yeah and get wicked skinny as I wouldn't have to work and could work out at some time other than 5 am :)

    I would have a heart attack and die. This is why I don't play the lottery.

    Buy a ranch with a lot of land, and new farm equipment, because I'm getting tired of Jerry-rigging everything redneck-style to save money. Granted, the boyfriend is handy with welding and other stuff, so we can get away with it, but man, it would be nice to be able to just say "We need a shed. Let's buy a new one.", instead of spending five hours using just a come-along winch and a farm jack to get this used one on the flatbed trailer.

    buy a nice retreat on the washington state coast. enough room to have a nice sized house, a jeep obstacle course, a shooting range, and just space enough that we're not near any other houses.

    then i'd set up my parents, brother, mother in law and sister in law.. buy into the family business, take a wonderful trip to hawaii..

    then i'd create a fund for foster kids, to get what they need growing up and places to live and money to go to school once they reach 18. i'd also fund a charity that feeds kids who dont have enough food.

    then i would retire, get into my writing, and help my husband edit the books he's writing.

    this is something i think a lot about.. :)

    Ask "Where's my other $140 million??" It's up to $640 million now.

    Then I'd do anything I wanted.
