My tiny town has been abuzz lately because there was a $1,000,000 lotto ticket sold. For a while I was hoping my dad won because it was the gas station where he buys his tickets. Unfortunately it was not, but it got me wondering in all seriousness what I'd do if I won a million dollars. After taxes the winner ended up with something like $700,000 which is a nice chunk of change!
First, I would quit my job and pay off our house. Then I realized I'd be a very boring lottery winner and put it into savings. Granted I'd probably do some serious shopping for DD and I, but all the big ticket items and things I'd want to do are further into the future; vacations to Disneyland and Europe and Alaska and the beach, pay for LO's college and wedding, and eventually build a bigger house since we only have 2 bedrooms currently.
So what would you do with your lottery winnings?
