    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.

    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 guess i would buy a bigger home with everything i wanted in it, cat fencing the property would be the first thing i would do,and i would have a hydrotherapy spa, i would give all my family money,and invest a lot of it, so i would never have to worry about money ever again, and i am sure i would help all my friends out, and give some to charity, or start my own kitty shelter.

    A world trip would be on the cards, first class, as i have trouble traveling, that would be the only way i could manage it,first stop would be the land of my birth Scotland.

    I'd first pay back my parents for everything. They've spent a lot on me, especially with this last year of college. But, in the 19 years of my existence, I don't even want to imagine how much they have spent! So, even though they don't need the money, I would pay them back for everything.

    Second, I'd buy them a piece of farm land in some of the best parts. They want this land, but they don't want to pay the price. So, I'd buy the land for them so they could start building their log cabin.

    I think I'd then travel... not sure where.

    Lastly, I'd tie up a lot of the money in cd's that would mature and make some decent money off of. I'd continue to live off of the interest.

    divide the lottery by 50 - then get on hot balloon, travel over each center of state, spread them out and watch them falling.

    and have my partner down there camrecord the chantings of cheers.
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..

    Carole, how about a stop in Pittsburgh and we can have a mini PT meeting and I can show you the sights?
