I would get advice FIRST from accountants and lawyers before I cashed in the ticket, so I wouldnt make a mistake and lose any portion of the money I didnt have to, just because I didnt know better.
I would then go on a spending spree. I would buy new furniture, new carpeting for my house and fix up some of the little things in the house. Outside I would put up new fencing, and set up the garden of my dreams!
I would buy a navy blue or forest green truck, with matching horse trailer, and one really nice horse and board it where i didnt have to do the work..lol
I would give my daughter the wedding of her dreams and a honeymoon, and a house of her choosing.
i would pay off all my sister's debts. And mine of course.
I would donate to these charities: Cat Ladies Society, For the Dogs, Hog Heaven Rescue (for horses too!), Newfoundland Dog Rescue and Newf Mix Rescue and our local Pride Center
I would travel to Europe and Africa
I would subscribe to all the magazines I love but cant afford to buy anymore
I would take my entire family on a vacation
I would buy a couple more newfs
I would buy clothes, make up and perfumes..which I havent been able to buy in three years
I would the local catholic church that just closed down and turn it into a social service program for youth in my town, and establish a college scholarship program for children who complete the program
I would establish a retirement fund for my kid that would build over the years
I would go see the chincoteauge ponies
I would order the midieval garb I always wanted for my re-enactment group I belong to
I would decide not to take most of it with me..but leave enough behind for my daughter to have, when I die
