Both my husband and I have bought a few tickets. As much as I would like to win, I believe that is an obscene amount of money. After I took care of family members, and I don't mean enough money so they never have to work again, I would concentrate on charities. How wonderful it would be to make a difference.

Hubs sent me to the store last Saturday to buy Power Ball tickets.
When I get there I asked the store clerk "how do you play?" (I was
wanting to pick my own numbers for 1 ticket), he laughed at me and
told me how to complete the ticket.

I will be buying tickets today when I get off work.

IF (isn't that the biggest 2 letter word?) I were to win the lotto, than
I would have a home custom designed & built for us. In which would
HAVE to have a large FULLY stocked sewing room with MANY machines
(so I could have sewing friends to come over and sew with me).

Buy my daughters new cars, homes, and set them up with small "allowances"
set up trust funds for any (currently only 1) grandkids, along with college
tuition's.

I would also build a special building to host quilting retreats with a FULLY
stocked quilting/fabric/notions store, (why leave to go buy anything).

Give to some charities that I like.

Bank the rest.

I'd give most to St. Judes and Shriners hospitals. Research for the blind. Humane Society (not ASPCA) and Wildlife centers.

Keep it a secret and contact a good lawyer.

Bought my first ever Powerball tickets for the last drawing. I spent $4, I won $4. So I'm trying again today, two tickets, spent $4. And I'd be happy to get my $4 back again. The one thing I'd buy myself is a studio apartment in my building, preferably on our floor, which I would use as a sewing room. However, nobody in the studios on our floor is planning to move, and I'm not going to win, so.........

Hadn't til this one....my neighbor went to the store to get some groceries for me (she and her DH are my guardian angels!!) and I picked the numbers for a ticket for each of us with same numbers and she got one for each of us with the auto numbers. I'd do most of the things already mentioned....stay mum and get a good lawyer first (!)......trust funds for family, a foundation and set up some specific programs......animal and wildlife care.....so many human programs...and esp one to help seniors have money and help with caring for their animals so they didn't have to let them go!!! This is large for me now as I need help with Tinkerbell and my homemaker tells me tales of the problems the seniors she works for have with getting their animals care. and for me a nice 3-4 bdrm house with a screened in back porch and indoor swimming pool and a gardner to care for all the beautiful flowers I'd have!! So much fun to dream and you know, it's said that visualizing does work!! I'll let you know where I am after I get everything settled and in place!!!

AT work we are in a pool of about 20-22 people. We all pitched in $10 and I stared buying the tickets. Will pick up the rest after work today.

If I won, the first 10% will go directly to our church to use for whatever they want. The rest, I just can imagine what I would do with it.

Right there with ya, baby! That's my plan.

I did buy one today.

I would help my family and set up a college fund for my grandson. I would also pay all of my bills off. The rest I would travel.

Good luck to all

help pay off debt too our church!!
