What Would You Do?

So that has been the big question lately around here ... what would you do if you won the Mega Millions ... tonight's jackpot is up to 333 Million Dollars ... that is one of the top prizes ever ... I think the biggest was somewhere around 360 Million Dollars ...

After I came to, my goal would be to make the lives of those that are close to me better ... and I think that would bring me more joy and excitement than anything I could do for myself ...

David and I were talking about it last night ... with a 333 million dollar jackpot the yearly payout is a bit over 12 million dollars ... TWELVE MILLION A YEAR  ... that means I could easily pick 10 people ... hell for 2 million a year I could pick 20 people and say, "quit your job ... spend time with your family ... I will be giving you 100K every year that I get my lottery money and by the way we just paid off your mortgage." ... How freakin incredible would that be ... to do that for parents and siblings and close friends ... it brings tears to my eyes think about doing that ... I wouldn't know who to call first because I would be so excited that I could do that for people ... (wow I am all teary) ...

Think of the circle of people around you and how it would change every aspect of their life ... I just can't help but get choked up about it ... it would just be amazing ...

I think the thing I would do for myself ... my big indulgence ... I would get pregnant again ... I want more kids so badly but we just can't afford to have another one ... so that is the very first thing I would do for myself ...

And to get ready for that new addition ... my family would need a vacation ... because it has been over 2 years since we have gone anywhere ... and I want that time together away from everyday life to just have fun ...

So those are my lottery dreams ... lofty I know ... but a girl can dream ... and let me tell you I dream about them all the time ...
