:huh: Hello all. Okay. So, I've had a long, worrisome day at work. I think it's the people at my

job that makes the job such a hassle. So, I began to escape in my mind as I always

do. On my way home I passed a lottery sign that said the Powerball was up to $80

Million. And so I got to thinking, what if I was the sole winner of that next Powerball

lottery drawing? I know what I would do. After I claimed my prize, I would send my

supervisor a nice little email, letting him know that I will not be returning,

Stash majority of it in savings and investments. Then, I would go on a huge shopping

spree: a new car, a new house, buy my mom a house, gifts for the family, and a

vacation before I returned back to school. I know what I would do with an $80 million

win if I had won by the end of this week, what would you do? Inquiring minds would

love to know.

    I would pay off all the debts of my relatives, invest half the money to create steady cash flow, travel, golf, quit my job and volunteer my spare time to a needy organization.
  • Hmmmm...

    I would travel in every single country!
    And...open my own graphic design studio.

    And buy an appartment in NYC, and in Tokyo, and in Paris.

    And give a lot to my family and friends!

    And...hmmm...do clothes shopping during 10 days I guess, haha!

    I'd faint, because I hadn't even bought a ticket! Haha, after that, I would sit on it for a year while reality set in, THEN I would decide what to do with it. Yes, I've thought this through.

    Pay my debts off, buy a working vehicle, set up a college fund(for my son) and retirement fund(for my husband and myself), set a down payment on a house (want to build up credit so wouldn't pay it off completely), and set up a game/theater/man cave for my husband in the house. Then I would stop worrying about money and focus on other things like going to college.
