A Half-Billion Dollars!
I rarely buy a lottery ticket, but today's newspaper headline: "Mega Millions Jackpot at $500M" got me! I bought not one, but three tickets! Hey, what's three bucks when tomorrow I might be rich? Now I'm dreaming about what I'd do if I win the jackpot, so I decided to make a list. Since this is just for fun, and just off the top of my head, I didn't worry about putting them in any particular order.
1.Give $50M to each of my sons.
2. Set up a trust fund for my grandchildren.
3.Split $100M among extended family members.
4.Move my mother in to live with me. Hire a private nurse to help care for her.
5.Take our entire family on a cruise. (I'll decide the destination later.)
6. Retire.
7. Make a large donation to each of the charities I help support.
8. Fund a scholarship program for single moms.
9. Pay off our mortgage.
10.Enroll in the Vermont College Children's Writers' Master program.
Well, that's all I can think of. My chances are slim to none, but oh, it's so much fun to dream!
What would you put on your list if you were suddenly rich?

I like your "off the top of my head" list. #4 doesn't fit my life at the moment, but in variations, I think most of the others would work for me. I'd do #6 and then #10 (or at least work on writing a book!) Good luck!!! Post if you win!!
