While I "may already be a winner", I have NOT, in fact, actually received any loot.
I'd like some.
I know what I would do with it down to the last dime. And I promise that it would not be stupid.
After the tax man cometh to taketh away what they would take... and it would be a sizable bite because I lack both cronies and lobbyists, I would have to make shift with the leavings.
I can do that. I know how to use coupons and how to shop for bargains.
I'd donate to my church. They have been good to me as representatives of God and it is only right that I give back.
I'd pay of everything we owed and put money into savings for Jared's perpetual needs.
I'd buy a new van for him with every possible bell and whistle for his comfort and safety. And based on my recent accident experience, I think I'd jam it down inside a tank so we'd have some added protection against the careless, the drunk, the lunatics and the weirdos of the world. Plus, that gun turret would come in handy in heavy traffic.
Then, I would build us the house of our dreams on a little holding of land so we would have a permanent garden space, a small greenhouse and a place to plant fruit trees. With the kind of loot they are promising that I might have already won, we could provide jobs for others to help manage our little farm.
And, because I believe education is important, I'd pay for some scholarships and also some married student housing to be built at the schools of my choosing.
More later.... hold your breath... no, DON'T hold it. I might be a while...
