WOW! I would go talk to my sister in law....she is a CPA. Pay the taxes. Then I would go to the church...and give a nice donation. Then I would pay for both of kids that want a better education. Get them each a modest home. Then I would sell our home and rebuild a Victorian home like what we want with a big pole barn so Jim can build his furniture that he likes to make. AND....then open up a quilt shop. Have fabrics for every priced range. Not just the 10$ stuff. I would serve coffee and tea to. Then Jim and I would go on a vacation/honeymoon that we have never had. And make a good donation to the Humane Shelters in our area. Can't forget our furry friends.

I have no idea until it happens, then I will play it by ear.

Ripped on Scotch

We have discussed this actually... we would give each of our siblings & parents some, pay off what we need to payoff and then invest the rest.

A long arm is an investment right?

The first thing I would do is set up a huge family scholarship fund. That way any of my decendants could go to college long after I'm gone.

Then I'd pick a place to live and build a huge retreat center.

I would get my girls homes of their own and new cars. I would buy my sis (she is going through a divorce right now and is devastated) a home of her own and would pay off my Dads house. I would build a home for myself with a small apartment or house one the grounds for my handicapped son. (He would be on his own, but still close enough for my help) My house wouldn't have to be big but would have a quilting studio and a long arm set up. I would set up a trust fund so my DGD can go to collage. I wouldn't have to work so she will never go to day care again. Sigh. But for right now I'm happy with my life and if I never win all is OK.

DH and I always said after our bills and the kids bills were paid we would set up a scholorship fund at the special ed school our son went to.

After that, then we would start playing

First, if there was enough money, we would retire. Next, I would pay off my son's house. If there was money remaining, I would build our dream place in the country with lots of room for DH dogs and a fully equipped studio for me.

Sigh...nice to dream!

Ok - if any of you win....I'm your long lost relative...

Pay bills, pay the house off.
Stash a bunch in cans all over the place........LOL...........j/k

Buy a few toys, put money aside for the grand babies college funds.

After arguing with my husband how the money will be spend...lol...I would set up all my kids with their own house and trust....then I would probably argue some more with my husband on how the house we want to build should look like, and what to do with our old one...lol....Maybe I should be thinking more on how to avoid these arguments ( I make it sound really bad...but we don't really argue that much because I usually get my way lol), then thinking about the spending....lol....I do know, that I would have a huge sewing room......maybe I should keep the old house for that purpose.....hmmmmmmmmm that's something to think about....lol
