Re: Upon winning the lottery, What would you do?

I would pay off al debit for myself, my family, and our farm. then become our teams sponser forever. it would be set up so they still had to raise money, but will alwasy be able to go to any regionals and championships, including transportation and rooms. i would also build a large building to house them with a full field and machine shop complete with state of the art cumputerized waterjets, lathes, and bridgeports. there would also be a full scholarship for any senior on the team who is enrolled in our schools agricultureal classes and plan to go on in the field of agriculture.
Next i would set up investments in Cowpots, my dads buisness, and various other buisnesses, give to charities. I would still finish school and continue on to become a teacher and teach. i would buy our schools FFA program equipment and animals. I would hae a fleet of trucks, cars, and toys. All of the trucks would be diesel trucks running off of biodiesel which will be produced at my house. Next comes trust funds for not only my kids and grand children, but myy great grand children. then i would start a bull breeding operation to raise bulls for use in bull riding competitions, such as P.B.R. thats all for now.

Re: Upon winning the lottery, What would you do?

1. Pay Taxes
2. Pay off Student Loans
3. Buy a house along the Cape
4. Pay off my mother's house
5. Pay off my Future In-Laws' house
6. Savings
7. Buy myself a VW Bug

I would still keep working as you never know. Plus, I personally can't handle being bored. I would make sure it was a job I truly enjoyed.

Re: Upon winning the lottery, What would you do?

I'd share it with myself. //but that doesn't work if you're me =|

then.. I'd buy a Galaxy Aerospace Westwind 1125 (now referred to as Gulfstream G100 ^^),
convert it into a full computerized ("glass") cockpit,
get the license for this class,
and then have that trip around the world with it
