If I won the lottery ...

[shadowlark]

I would pay off all the debts my ex left me with, buy a house, and put the rest toward my home business ideas and a college fund for my boys. Nothing spectacular.

Pay off all debt, plunk a good amount into a college fund for each of my children, and become a crazy-wild philanthropist!


I was once inspired by a story I read of several people who grew up very poor, but later became successful in life. Every year, they go to a poor neighborhood and they drop off bags and bags of groceries, so the families can cook and have a real holiday dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They do this in the stealth of an early morning, and let it be a "surprise" for the families when they wake up in the morning. I always said, if I had money, I would love to go bless other people in a similar way to this. Although I would probably get caught hiding in the bushes, because I would want to see the looks on their faces when they wake up and open their front doors! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

I would pay off my dept, help my family members that are in dear need, give to charity, and then invest my money to make it grow. I wouldn't want to win and end up broke within a couple of years[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

My kids and I do that each year, Thanksgiving some food and groceries, and Christmas some toys.


Also my kids take toys to Vanderbuilt Childrens Hospital each year to give to other kids that have to be there over Christmas~
