[mickeyminnie]

Me: a nice piece of land in the country to build my dream house and barn on.

DH: a cabin on the lake and a hum-vee

DD: a horse

DS: he wants the cash, he is 5 BTW

 

[mrsgus06]

Taking the lump sum of approx $177 million and running!

P.S.: If you come looking for me, I will be somewhere in Florida!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well we are already putting Pergo down in the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway, I would finish off the rest of the house. Than we would pave the drive way and pour our concrete patio. Then

 

[LisaNJ25]

Well I am out for tonight since I have no ticket.. they dont sell them in NJ. But if no one hits I will have hubbys co-worker buy me one in PA for next week.

 

[Saphire]

I am not going to do anything with it, as I didn't buy a ticket. I would never want the responsibility and burden of that much money.

What they said

 

[Feralpeg]

We don't have Powerball in Florida. Too bad!

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Forgot to go to NH and buy one but if I did win I would do all the good stuff like charity, helping others and just so you think I am not a total goody goody I would quit my job and buy my superintendent a personality transplant and a heart if the "great and powerful Oz" would sell me one!!

 

[doxdogy]

Exactly what I would do. But I would be leaving Florida!

If I won, I'd:

• Put money into the kid's college accounts.
• Set up an account that would have me taken care of for life.
• Take care of family members in need.
• Quit my job and do volunteer work at the library or other education institution.
• Set up a charitable organization to donate money where it is needed. Don't know what my pet charity would be yet.
• Buy a pool home in Orlando.
• Pay off my home here.
• Hire people to fix it up (interior decorating, landscaping, finishing the rooms STB ex-DH started)
• Hire a personal trainer and chef to get me in shape.
• Book the Walt Disney Suite on the Magic.

 

[Planogirl]

I'd dig my way out from under way too much debt! I can't begin to imagine how good that would feel. Then I'd make plans to give back, always a dream of mine.

 

[llij]

Well, I never got a ticket. If I did than I would pay off the house, set up the kids college education, make some donations and then buy into Disney Vacation Club!

 

[TDC Nala]

I was in DC today and didn't buy a ticket, oh well, I wasn't going to win anyway.

but if I did, seeing as how I won't be sharing it with anyone, I'd immediately quit my job and disappear.

 

[S. C.]

if I did, seeing as how I won't be sharing it with anyone

Not even your BEST friends from the dis? All 60.000 of us?

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Pay off my car..
pay my parents for college..
take a huge vacation..
save the rest

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I didn't go to a state that sells the tickets, so nothing for me tonight, BUT if I had of...

NICE college saving for all my kids

Retirement for my DH, assuming he wants that

Vacations whenever and wherever we wanted

I would share with close family members

Stay living in our same house since I would want my kids to continue in the same schools, but I would do some things around the house--carpeting, painting inside and out, etc.

 

[daisyduck123]

I didn't buy any tickets, so no chance of winning. But if I had purchased some & won, then of course I'd buy a beautiful home in Celebration, Fla....about 5 minutes from Disney!

 

[Annam26]

I'd buy 4 annual passes to WDW!

We went last year for the first time, and I really want to go back, but unless I win the lottery it won't happen.

Unfortunately, I'm in FL. No Powerball here

 

[Twinkles6892]

Well, if my mom wins, I'd take drivers ed. Quit my job (that I haven't even started yet) and immediately go get my nails done Then I'd hire a personal trainer and chef to get me in shape, get a coture bikini and hit a Disney Cruise with my best friends

 

[WishingOnAStar]

I just LOVE this topic!!

My friend and I bought tickets together so, I'll *only* get half-

BUT- we (my friend and I) want to buy a LOT of property and build houses near each other so that our kids can play together all the time!!

Then, we'd close our plumbing company, hire personal trainers, donate tons of money, do lots of volunteer work, buy a Toyota Sienna, get an awesome RV, and travel whenever the kids are off from school. Of course, set aside money for the rest of their schooling and college.

The VERY first thing I'd do is book a Disney trip for both our families!
