    What would you do if you'd win the lottery?

    Seeing my savings constantly wane, I often dream about winning the lottery. Stupid, I know, but you can still have dreams, right?

    Anyway, there are some things I would like to do if I had more money.

    If I would win 10,000 Euro or so, I would save the most of it (and enjoy the feeling of not having to worry about things breaking, like my car, or my pc, or about vet bills etc.). But I would spend some money on a nice cat room. They already have a room where they have their scratching posts and their food, but I would love to make a real cat paradise out of it, a playground like those you sometimes see in cat magazines. I would love to have something like that for my girls!


    If I'd win a real lot of money, like several millions (which will never happen LOL), I would like to use the money to help animals in need. I would love to have a house to foster cats, and maybe I'd take courses to become a cat behaviorist and therapist. I'd really like to do more for animals than I do now.

    What would be your dream if you'd win the lottery?

    I would enjoy more quality time with my kitty, my husband and family, my home and my community. Having worked all my life and still do, it would be so nice to have the freedom to choose what I do with my time. I don't need millions to make me happy, just time and the comfort of knowing that finances are not an issue.

    Kristen, it is nice to dream

    Helping pets in need has to be the best choice of all. After that....pay off all my bills and share with family and friends. Travel if there's anything left.

    First: Pay off all my bills
    Second: Get all my medical and dental stuff taken care of, including a few nips and tucks here and there
    Third: Buy a home, condo or townhouse in San Francisco and a vacation home in Hawaii, all with special accommodations for the fur kids.
    Fourth: Travel!
    Fifth: Buy a hybrid new car.
    Would I quit my job? Maybe .... I really enjoy what I do, so perhaps I'd go part-time.

    I would probably buy some really nice rv so the furkids could travel with me. Of course this would be put on hold for a couple of years so I could get my kids through high school.

    I would pay off my debt and get another dog, maybe a rescued pug.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    If I won any type of Lottery, I would firstly place at least half of it in an account for my boys. Depending on how much got, I would buy a nice piece of land, with plenty of acres, and build a nice house. If there was any left over I would put it away in a savings account, a safety net.
    Maggie,

    Move out of my house to some where hot like California.

    Open up my own no kill shelter. It would be a luxury shelter. Then on the side of that I would attach a grooming salon to up the chances of the dogs to get adopted and I would be the groomer.

    Get my Great Dane (who would come to work with me all the time) and get a Halflinger and Arabian. And a couple other rescue animals.

    Buy my mom a house, buy myself and the boy (and the pets!) a house, buy the inlaws a house.

    Donate to the shelter where I got the puppers from.

    And if I had any left over I would TRAVEL!

    The only thing that I know I would do RIGHT AWAY is pay off college, who knows what I'd do with the rest! Probably buy a house with lots of land, that'd be nice and help my parents pay off all of the bills.
