If I Won Powerball
Well, I guess no one won the Powerball last night so the Saturday night draw is estimated at 120 million dollars. The only time I play is when it gets this high. With the economy as bad as it is I keep hearing people joke that the lottery is their new retirement plan. The girls and I joke around about what we would spend the money on if we won. We talk about getting a ton of land and some farm animals to play with. We sometimes talk about moving back to Arizona. Some of our ideas consist of having two homes. One here and one in Arizona. Nicole just insists on having a limo.
The main common theme in all of our discussions is building a new home. Then designing and decorating it perfectly to our liking. There is a commercial that I think of when I think of winning big and having enough money to build whatever house I want.
It was a commercial for Direct Buy. It is a couple in a huge beautiful home talking about how they built their home with all of these expensive things that they would not have been able to afford without Direct Buy. The house is absolutely gorgeous!
I do not even remember who they were or where they lived I just remembered the house. It was so pretty and I wanted it. It has a California feel so I assume they were in California and they probably went to the Direct Buy Mountain View location. What matters to me is that in my dreams I am winning the lottery and building that house!
I have other dreams about winning the lottery too. I would not just blow all of the money. I would find a company to buy also. That way I could continue to rake in all of that money!
So what would you do if you won the lottery?

i have thought about this many many times. the obvious comes to mind first, such as pay off debt! then i would make sure that my family had a nice nest egg. my sister is needing a liver transplant and that would be at the top of my list. then after all of that i would just travel. i don't want to be in just one place, i want to go everywhere. i would make sure that i had at least 1 secure investment and just travel.
