we stayed faithfull to entering lol, but have decided that IF we do win we will take the in lue of prize, which is the 2011 gmc acadia denali, $500,000 and another $650,000

firstly pay the taxes on the money of course, then pay off our current home, then buy ANOTHER home payed in full someone in the mountains like in new hampshire where there is no property tax ? haha so far ive found some nice homes in new hampshire with acres and acres or property included, (mostly equestrian estates. which happens to be my favorite lol. crossing my fingers

I would have to also take the in lieu of prize... the house is beautiful but that dorm ski room would never work for my family and friends.

Happy entering!

That house is beautiful but you would have to love snow a lot to live there.
Stowe is about an hour away from me and it is in the middle of the mountains where there has been 3 feet of snow on the ground for the past two months.
One nice thing about the location is that it is very close to the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory.

I found an article and video of your dream home in my local news.
I hope you like lots of snow!
I hope this link works, the video shows your house inside and out.

I get the feeling you really are planning on winning that house if you're making plans to pay the taxes. Remember, lots of other people out there are thinking they too will be the winners so try not to get too far with that dream or you'll be hit hard if you don't win it. Have to agree it's a lovely house and if I was still skiing, riding and hiking I would be craving it myself. I've never won anything except a few bucks with lucky tickets so I don't think the house would be coming my way. A bit expensive to upkeep I think, best I stay put for now
