When I win the lotto…

Big lottery news in the U.S. over the weekend - a couple walked away with a jackpot of $164 million, the 5th largest ever I believe.
This couple had been living in a trailer, the husband had been working a couple states away for the last 20 years so they only saw each other for maybe one weekend every few months. For them the biggest changes will be to their immediate circumstances - he quit his job, they want to buy a piece of land and build a house and they will each get a car (him a GMC truck, her a Mercedes). After that they talked about helping their kids and grandkids, and their church.

Hearing these stories always makes you think, what would you do if you won that kind of money?

Good question. I think I’d buy a house, give to church and charity, save the “world” as much as I can… other stuff I’d think of along the way.

bought my ticket today (fingers crossed). being debt free would allow my to start at zero so to speak, after making a few investments i believe i would want a house here (in florida) and one at home and a car in both places… charities would be high on my list, but not as high as travelling the world….maybe i should cross my toes as well….
