First, I would quit my job and then take a nice long vacation. When I come back, I would move and buy my $8 million dream house

. Next, I would go back to school. And of course, do lots of shopping!

Oh man, my husband and I talk about this all of the time

I would buy my dream home in Pebble Beach.

I would open up a huge no kill pet shelter where doggies can run around and play all day, while they await homes.

I would pay off my mom's house and buy her one of those new Mustangs that she likes so much.

Absolutely anything that my grandma wanted, she would get.

I think the only other thing that I would do is buy a car like this (see below) and fully restore it.

A '64 Malibu SS...purty isn't she? So she needs a little work

Oh, and I'd get a few more tattoos too. The rest would be invested and put away. Did I just say that??

I would give it all away except matybe $2 million. I think otherwise it would ruin my life.

Well, first I'd give my family some to do with as they pleased. Then we'd spend about a year travelling - in those travels I'd figure out where I wanted to buy modest homes. When I say modest I mean $200,000- 250,000 ish. I'd want a mountain house, something in Dallas because my husband is in state guard & wants to hang out, something less modest on the beach somewhere. I'd buy a plane so my hubby could learn to fly & we could get to said houses easily. I'd spend at least one day a week doing volunteer work where I felt lead to serve. And I'd have to think about the charity donations, but for sure some animal rescue, St. Jude, cancer research, & hospice.

Oh, and I'd buy a pink beetle, a mint green thunderbird & my DH a brand new Ford Mustang Cobra until the Shelby he wants comes out.

-i would pay off our mortgage, and mortgages of my parents, in-laws and my sister. (and buy a house for my brother)
-get the rest of the renovations done on our house (i *really* like our house, so i don't know that i'd want to move...unless we moved maybe to a four bedroom instead of a three bedroom)
-set up a trust fund for the baby (oh man did i ever think i would hear the words "trust fund" and "our" in the same sentence?)
-take a year off and see the world
-donate money to the library
-put maybe 2 mil in high-interest account and live off of that
-donate the rest to other charities

This is one of my biggest lotto fantasies. If not, I would definitely rescue elderly dogs and cats that only have a little time left and need expensive treatment and someone to love them.

Of course, I would tell my employer to shove it. And shop.

First I wouldn't let anyone know I won until I actually got to the claims center and received my check. I would then call my mom and tell her to quit her Job. I would probably put in my two weeks notice at my job. I just hate to leave people hanging. Then I would pay off my school loans. I would pay off my moms house. I would go on a very long vacation all over the world. I would buy my dream house. I would go buy a whole new wardrobe. Then I would start my own business when I got bored of doing the other things. I would get bored very easily.

Yeah, I kind of agree. My dad's always said that. Everyone you know bugging you for money and all that jazz doesn't seem like too much fun. Plus the karma would be incredible
