i have to run out & get some but i will do it tomorrow when everyone will make the mad dash to grab theirs too.
i take back what i said about just getting enough to buy myself a new Impreza. i would also like to get enough to restore the house, build a garage, get that nice tractor to do a lot of the yard work i've been wanting to get done-pond dug & pull a lot of old, decayed trees & stumps. i don't think i would want to move. but i would see about putting in some security.
i would set up some accounts to put money away for my younger nephew, my older nephew is planning on going to college next year so i would want to set him up right away for his next few years to get that degree. he's a hard working kid & can use it. i'd get my sister & BIL their new house to replace the hole in the ground that was their house (fire took out their house last September), i'd pay off my dh's nephew's college debt-cheezy business that bought our local community college ran it into the ground & stuck lots of students with fed loans. i'd have to see what my parents would like but i'm sure my dad would like a larger garage to store all his motorcycles somewhere secure & where he can putter with them the rest of his days.
i'd give some funds to local charities-there's a traveling spay neuter program i'd love to give funds to, and our local SPCA since i know they have taken in a lot of horses & large animals this year. might be good to set up a local scholarship fund too.

It might be the best idea to hire some people to headhunt consultants. The first job of the consultant committee would be to set up an asset management team (CEO, CFO, COO, & general counsel) each with an assistant. The management team would hire people who are responsible for data collection, budgets, expenditures, and performance.
Develop a personal relationship with each of these underlings including the janitor, bring them coffee and donuts, get their cars washed while they are at the office, find out about the family birthdays and hand out dinner coupons, have anniversary bouquets delivered, etc.
Six months in, the consultant committee is let go. At 12 months, the entire management team is canned and the workers all move up one paygrade.
Janitor gets full use of the company truck ...
Yeah, it's fun to think about

Steve hasn't checked his tickets yet. Probably forgot where he put them.

I actually stopped on the last night to purchase 5 tickets. It ended up being a donation of $3.33 to each of the winners that I can't even deduct. Sigh!
I am so not into games of chance. When someone here mentioned joining the gym pool, I immediately thought it was a good way to spend $10. Swimming is good exercise and at only $10 it was suitable addition to the regular gym membership fee.
Iff'n ya'll hadn't been discussing the big lottery, I'd probably not even know how high it was and saved my money. Not that I'd be blaming you, it's just that I'm ashamed to admit I made the attempt to join the ranks of the 1%.
