OK so I went overboard....
 

You guys will like this. We were at our HS football game (last game of regular season, Go T Birds!!!!) last Wednesday night and I did something I don't normally do - I bought a 50/50 raffle ticket. And I WON!! $248!!!!
So I immediately donated $50 to the North Branford Cheer Club (DD is a cheerleader), then each family member got $25. And I got a haircut.

Then I went to Joanna's Saturday.

I BOUGHT 46 YARDS OF FABRIC. I got 3 yards each of 11 different colors and 13 yards of blizzard fleece to make no sew blankets for the 3 kids and one for myself.

I thought I was bad wandering around with all these bolts to be cut but apparently one woman came in and bought enough blizzard fleece to fill 12 large bags!!

And I can't fit any more fabric in my closets.

I think i am a hoarder!!!!! Or nuts.......

If you are a hoarder then I am right up there with you. What a wonderful way to spend your winnings. Lucky you, have fun.

Congrats! Sounds like you spent your winnings wisely!

Oh, geez, what would you do if you won the lottery which is up to $500,000,000? :)

You could buy me a HQ Sweet Sixteen and I'd be REAL happy!

Seriously, congrats!

Congrats on your winnings!

I didn't even win anything and spent $150.00 at Joanns last wknd ;)

Couldn't pass up the doorbuster sales!

Good for you! Whenever I get unexpected income I treat myself. I have a gift card right now that I'm trying to decide how to spend. Not as much as you had so I'm weighing my options carefully.

Congrats on your win, and I like the "everybody wins!" way you spent it. As for the storage - sounds like you'll be moving a bunch of the fleece out pretty quickly...

Congrats on our win!!!! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!!!!!

Funny I should read this thread ...as I was just sitting here thinking about what I would do with the money if I won the BIG lottery that everyone is talking about! What was my first thought...yep fabric..LOL. I don't play the lottery but the thought was fun. So glad you were able to enjoy your winning! Congradulations.
