    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.

    If I won, which I won't, cause I don't play the lottery, I would pay off
    all debts & buy land to build a big house. in the country.

    I'd adopt a least two more dogs & give money to animal rescue groups.

    1.)Get another dog
    2.)Buy a normal-sized house, nothing huge with a nice peice of land. Pay if off RIGHT AWAY.
    3.) Save it for college
    4.) Pay off my parents mortgage and stuff.
    5.) Donate to Deborah hospital, the one that saved my life, animal shelters, and breast cancer research
    6.) Redo my room over POTC if I was still a kid.
    7.) Set up an account in the bank as a safety net for myself, my parents, brother and sister. Something like joint account.
    8.) I am buying a car! hybrid car that is.

    9.) Maybe if I have enough left over I would go on a Disney cruise with my family or if they didn't want to come invite some close friends and a couple of pt'ers... how does that sound to you guys? We'd go to the bahamas, key west, the caribbean, and best of all their exclusive private island that has the REAL POTC ship on it. Then go to some of the disney parks with some close freinds and PT'ers. ALL of it my treat.

    THEN...
    Me and Sassy would go to Europe and all around the world. Ah, I love to dream. We'd go to France, Italy(visit Michelle ), England(visit zara ), and Canada(visit alicia and blue_frog)and way more people.

    I would donate a majority of the money to the shelter where I volunteer.

    move out in the country and get a few horses.


    buy my parents a new house and buy my brother a new house, too and a new car for him and my parents and I would build a misunderstood dog rescue and get a lifetime supply of chocolate and a new wardrobe. plus my pets would get anything they want, too.

    If I won millions and millions I'd:
    *Pay off my debts along with all my family members debts.
    *Give money to local animal shelters.
    *Buy 25 acres or so and build my dream house with attached 8 kennel indoor/outdoor runs and acres and acres of fenced in land.
    *Build a shelter on my property and open my own rescue.
    *Buy trailers/campers to make into mobile spay & neuter units for local shelters to have.
    *Put money away for my neices and nephew for college.
    *Travel with my family, first would be an Alaskan cruise!!

    If I won a smaller amount I'd pay off my debts and buy land to build a new house on.

    Put enough away for college and a car, buy land and a custom house, buy a really nice horse and compete at a top level. Then I'd put the rest away.

    If I won a zillion dollars... after the IRS and the state claim their share ...

    Family - help mom & dad buy an accessible home
    help nieces & nephews

    Animals - I'd give back to the shelter where my cat came from - they are always behind on veterinary and other bills. Fund Pet Talk animal emergency "stash". I think I'd like to endow a scholarship for veterinary hematology and oncology to train more docs to treat conditions like k9soul's Raven and Reachoutrescue's Lady.

    Health - contribute to whisk_luva's foundation for developmental disabilities and with Zippy to mental health research.

    Where I live - I'd move out of my building with its numerous structural worries and buy a house.

    I'd take a road trip to visit Glacier and hug her dozens of fluffy doggers.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Well depending on how much I won, I would firstly buy myself a house and move out of my parent's place, then get my current car all fixed and spoofed up. Then I would buy my dad a truck and also maybe try to start my own business, possibly a shelter that never ever puts animals to sleep unless it is necessary too because of health reasons.

    let's see 10,000 Euros is about $20,000, right?? If we won $20k we would pay off our van, furniture, and credit cards, put a little into savings, and buy a ton of diapers
    If we won in the millions we would
    -pay off all of our debts/family member's school debts and stuff
    -buy ourselves a nice plot of land and build our dream house on it
    -put aside money for our boys to go to college
    -put a few million into a savings account and live off of the interest

    Hubby would go stir crazy if he didn't have a job so he'd probably keep working even if we could afford not to.

    I would have to wait to cash my ticket in as I'm in bankruptcy & they'll take 1/2 of everyting I make over 1700.00/month... I'm not interested in sharing that much of the winnings lol.. after my 9 months, I'd cash that puppy in Would put a nice credit on all my bills (like cell phone, tv, internet), pay off my car, then get my car fixed (NO I don't want a new one, I like my car), but I might buy a 4x4 SUV to go off roading in. I'll pay off all my dads debit so he can have a life for once. I'd pay of my sisters schooling, prob help my friends go through college, as they are working their butts off trying to be able to afford school. I'd buy a cottage in PEI & near Verner, a house here in Toronto, one in Ottawa, one in sudbury... Then I'll prob end up quitting my job & party with my friends a lot (partying doesn't mean drinking, we do a lot without drinking). I'd have to have a paintball field set up & other fun things.

    I wouldn't get more animals, as I don't want that many. I like 1 rescued dog, a couple fish & my turtle...

    I would build my turtle a kick butt pond in a more natural enviroment (clear water is a must), I'd have huge goldfish & other pond things. The pond would be completely fenced in as I'd rather not have wild animals eatten by Axle or have him eat people lol Sure its a free meal, but... heheh its not good lol

    Oh & I'd travel all over the world with my friends. traveling alone is boring.
