holy poop that is a lot of money! Someone is VERRRRRRY lucky! Hey, if it was one of us, share the wealth :D
If it is one of us...
maybe we will get Pet Talk ville after all ;)
Goodness knows they could afford to build it with that much money :eek:

:D :D They say that one of the problems of winning this much money is that you have relatives and friends coming out of the woodwork that you didn't even know you had - and everyone is so willing to help you spend it.
There was a couple in California that were both on unemployment as they had lost their jobs - they were in danger of losing their home and then they won the lottery.
These are the stories that make me happy.
I can assure you, it wasn't I! :(
This is an insane amount of money. I wouldn't want it. I hope whoever won it was someone that really needs it.
Yes. I believe I'm related to the winner. The winner is my 4th cousin removed from my Father's Uncle's Cousin's Sister's side. :D Heeheehee. ;)Quote:

Even if I didn't need it I'd still want it so I can use it for more usefull things than what some other people may consider useful. Sure I really need some and what I don't need I'd be donating a lot to animals & people in need not fancy cars & the such.Quote:

My sis lives in Cincy...I'm sure if they won, I'll never hear about it!!!
The Kroger store is giving their commission from the sale of the winning ticket to charity. Thought that was really nice.
Oh come on sis! I'd tell ya. You know I'd be spoiling your pups and all. I might even buy you a thing or two. LOL. Unfortunately, we are not the lucky winners either. It's hard to win when you don't buy a ticket. I haven't heard yet who the lucky winners are. The only thing I've caught on the news is that the ticket was bought at the Corryville Kroger, which is down by the university, and the news of the Kroger donating their earning to local charities. Just as many of you, I hope it was somebody who truely needed the money!Quote:

I would pay off all of the money my parents owe for loans and their mortgage.. I would buy the last bit of supplies my Dad needs to finish renovating the house.. because he loves doing it! I would buy us a nice second vehicle, but nothing like a Hummer or anything.. just something nice.. my Dad likes the GMC Envoy.
I'd give some money to my relatives.
I would then donate to all the rescue shelters and societies around my province.
The women we rescued Mickey from is dieing of cancer and has one year to live. It was her dream to build a huge facility for all of the rescue dogs.. home style, though! No kennels! I would love to contribute and pay for it to be built.

Being in that area of town, it has a good potential of someone who needed it. It is mostly college students and low income.
