    Powerball Jackpot - Did you buy a ticket.. and what would you do with the money?

    DH is in a group at work - I bought 10 tickets today. If I won.. I have 7 brothers and sisters and I would pay off all their houses.. if they don't have a home, I would purchase a home for them as well as set up month maintenance accounts for insurance and utilities. Nieces and Nephews would get any college loans paid off, as well as sum towards a house downpayment - Great nieces and nephews would all get college funds set up. Retire- DUH, DH and I would purchase a home in the Florida Keys.. maybe our own island, preferably with an airstrip so we could fly people in and out to visit.. (and be able to fly to Vegas).

    Donate a LARGE sum to my favorite local Rescue group - and the National Kidney foundation.

    It is all so surreal.. but if it is really a billion dollars.. how could you ever spend that much money.

    I can't think of anything crazy I would really do....

    Winning that kind of money creates huge problems.

    I have not bought any. Thought about it last night when at the store, but didn't do it.

    CeCe, could you swing by Charlotte on your way to SD? If that is too much I would settle for two tickets to Vegas. 1st Class, of course.

    I will do that for you and Allen - that is a sure way to finally meet! We could be high rollers and max bet pennies at Aria playing Choy Sun Do.. Who knows maybe we would be bigshots and MAX bet nickles with that kind of cash .

    We decided we would go to 7-Eleven and buy burner phones and throw ours away. Then we would fly first class to Hawaii and stay at the 4 Seasons until we decide how to spend the money.

    First thing I would do is relocate with no forwarding address. 2nd, take care of family (nieces & nephews included) so they have no worries about money in their lifetime. 3rd, invite all you Jokers to Las Vegas for one hell of a party in a casinos convention room w/catered gourmet food & open bar - top shelf liquor (with all transportation/lodging fees reimbursed and/or paid for along with a starting cash BR for everyone).
