I expect it to be a good lottery if I bought a ticket for it.
QOTD: What would you do if you won the lottery?
#1 create a trust fund
#2 pay off my bills, my parents bills, my sisters bills (including mortgages)
#3 take over paying for my grandfathers assisted living costs
#4 quit my job
#5 move the hell out of SC
#6 buy a cabin on a lake in northern MN or WI
#7 pay off my grandmothers mortgage and put the house in the name of the trust to protect her0 -
Pay off all debt, save/invest, and GET THE HELL OUT OF ILLINOIS!!!0

Hmmm... if I won the lottery...
#1 Get rid of the student loans (I have quite a bit since I just graduated from college with my self-funded Masters)
#2 Buy a new car. I'm still driving the one I got when I was 16 from my parents, and I'm now 24!
#3 Travel ALL THE TIME
#4 Indulge my inner shopaholic and buy lots of fabulous designer things that I can only stare at and wish the price tags had a few less digits in them
#5 Let my parents retire. My mom is still job hunting and my dad needs a break
#6 Buy a house on the Jersey Shore for me and my family
I don't think I'd quit my job, I'd go NUTS if I wasn't busy with something every day.0 -
Brian, don't you mean, get the hell out of Illinois and find the people who conspired against us and put us here?
) lol!
QOTD: I asked the question merely because I constantly joke with my friends "Well when I win the lottery I will get RIGHT on that!" There is so much I would love to do with money but I would most of all like to not worry about it. I don't need fancy clothes, car, house...anything like that. I love what I have. I just want to be rid of my medical bills and see my non-profit organization blessed! And be able to help other people! Oh so very much.
One of my friends though just told me this story that literally made my jaw drop. They bought their house from a couple that they are friends with that have won the lottery. Which is awesome! The horrible part? You know how you hear about how bad luck comes with winning the lottery? The fellow won the lottery and then lost his leg in some sort of accident! How sad! She then tells me...they win the lottery two more times. Three times total. :noway:
At that point? I think I might limp about for millions of dollars of money...I would miss running desperately...but THREE times? lol!) 0 -
they've won the lottery 3 times? :noway: I say once you win, stop playing!
AMEN! And if you keep playing...you loose an appendage for each win...Just sayin....LOL! Okay that is mean but come on, spread the wealth!0 -
Pay off everything....all 300,000 dollars worth of debt
invest/save put money away for retirement
plan some awesome vacations
pay of my family's bills
put money away for my children's college
Oh man, so much....0 -
Winning the lottery, eh? Well, since I don't play it is never going to happen lol. I even once had a dream that I won the lottery and I was consumed with guilt and confusion over gambling (in the dream itself).
However but if I had some bizarre huge windfall of extra cash for some reason I would:
-tithe
-go on a missions trip
-pay off our house
-renovate
-go on vacation
-pay for my husband's education
-put away money for my kids
-put away money for retirement
It seems like most of us have similar lists...no crazy dreams of ferraris and mansions out there?0 -
Haha... well I kind of want a Lexus or Infiniti for my new car. A mansion seems like such a pain to furnish and clean... hahaha. I'll take a normal size house with a nice pool in the back and a gym in the basement.
Oh, one thing to add to my list.
A PERSONAL CHEF! I have such issues cooking decent healthy food without adding unhealthy things to it something (salt, butter, etc) that a healthy cook would be amazing.0 -
Yeah no mansion for me! Prefer a nice loft like condo in Minneapolis or ST Paul preferably with a gym in the building and my own personal chef and trainer.0

QOTD: What would you do if you won the lottery? ANNNNNNNNNNNNND GO!
I would pay of all my parents mortgage. Help out my sisters and my husbands parents and brother's family. Set some money aside for my nieces.
I would buy a house by the beach. That's my dream. And I would looooove to hire someone to clean my house and do laundry. I hate doing both of those things. And a driver.
And I definitely want to donate money.0 -
YEAH I am in ONDERLAND finally............weighed in at 197.8 this week
thanks for all your encouragement and motivation
what I would do if I won the lotto?
Pay off my house
help my parents
renovate my house
buy some new furniture
travel
buy a vacation house by the beach
donate money to charities0 -
themommie - CONGRATS! That is wonderful
pragya728 - all good things! And I would just die for a house on the beach. I'm a Cali girl at heart - living in Idaho right now and the beach is the one thing I REALLY miss.0 -
What would I do if I won the lotto?
Hmmm, well, I'd love to move! I bought a house in Idaho about 7yrs ago; my dad passed away and I decided to put my inheritance into buying a house and car instead of having the money laying around to blow (especially in such an emotional situation, it'd be too easy to just shop to distract myself!). I checked out costs of living around the country, and at that point in time the Boise area was so "up-and-coming" Big mistake! I don't really love it here, but it's impossible to sell right now, so I'm stuck. Although, if I won the lottery I'd go ahead and move and continue paying property tax and maintenance here until I could sell the place ;-) Definitely would head back to the west coast or Hawaii.0 -
Okay, you know that windfall we've been talking about, can I add to my list because I would really like to move to a warmer climate--preferably a tropical one! Oh, and I want a maid to come and clean my house and a personal chef to make me delicious and nutritious meals.0

Sigh...all this dreaming and now I can stop dreaming about ONE particular thing: Last day of February! WOOT! I can't stand this month! I always hole up, shell up and hide the month of February and now its the last day! *does dance* Very excited! Birthday in 23 days, first fundraiser in a month *sweats*, and the fact that spring is on the way? Whoooo hooooo!
I'm excited to start the new thread for The Randoms. I keep thinking of my goals. This month I was beyond lazy. It was really hard for me to workout because of different health reasons and then when I felt better I didn't want to push myself because I felt behind in so many ways. I'm back on track but I know this month is going to be crazy with promoting our fundraiser so I don't want to loose sight of me again. I think THAT will be my goal. Ha ha!) I know I'm at my goal weight but I think it is so important to still have exercise goals to keep yourself in check. ) 0 -
Today is the last day of Feb but feels like May to me. 80 degrees outside and listening to the Twins on the radio.0

I so hate you right now.: ) Just kidding. I can't wait until I get to watch them on TV everyday!!! Tomorrow we're supposed to be in the 40's and I'm super pumped lol. 80's?? I can't hardly wait! 0 -
I am terribly jealous of this. I wish Canada was warmer
Still not stopping me from going to the gym! So long as I go, Ill keep going. But, if I don't go, it normally results in me being lazy for a day.
Bring on March!0
