If You Won the Lottery What Would You Do With the $$$$$

Provide start-up funding and partially sustain along with grants or government funding if possible (and then let someone else manage), a chain of fitness centers in low-income neighborhoods of all five boroughs of NYC. Members would have to income qualify, and a percentage of the employees would have to be either getting off public assistance, have a disability, or be struggling with employment. There would be wellness education, as well as tuition support for those returning to school. And it would have all the cool stuff any fitness center has—stationary- and free-weight areas, aerobic machines, excercise classes, a juice and health snack bar, and childcare facility.

Give a big chunk of money to Planned Parenthood.

Buy an apartment in the East Village and get a dog. Upgrade my car to something heavier and safer. Buy a house in woods upstate—Columbia county.

Set up trust funds for my nieces and nephews.

Hire a financial advisor and invest.

Spend winters in warm places.

Otherwise do all the stuff I do now; go to readings, have dinner with friends. Probably pick up the check more often.
