We got some tickets when we went out earlier!

I can think of all sorts of wonderful stuff I'd do with that money. I think I'd retire from school and retire my husband and pay off the houses and debt of those close to us. Then we could travel, work on philanthropic projects and just have fun. Wouldn't have to live like The Bigs. We'd just be free to go and do whatever we wanted. That, to me, sounds exceptionally pleasant. I know it might be an administrative hassle at first. I know all the solicitations for money are hard for winners to deal with, among other things. But I'd hire someone else to deal with the administrative minutiae. We've always been prudent with money until now, and I see no reason we'd turn into big spenders after a big jackpot win. Might as well use that cash to do others some good.
