When I win I will suddenly find relatives that I didn't know
I had.I would pay off all of our debts,our kids' debts,my husband
would finally retire.
I would buy a big motorhome and travel across the country.I would
have a really nice cabin in the woods.Put some money into a bank
account for our old age.Give the rest to the Lord!

i would build a house into a side of a mountain that had plenty of farmable land and forests around it, i would buy livestock and farming equipment, i would have a forge on site, i would buy many precious metals, and an arsenal. i would buy some dirt bikes and old trucks and an entertainment system that would but an imax theather to shame. and have a underground direct line internet conection. i then would travel to japan and check out the under water pyrimids and buy some top of the line japenese steel and i if i was accepted i would train under the top blacksmiths in japan so i can put my forge to good use.
