Record breaking lottery? Oh this is easy.
1. have homes built on a cul de sac one for each kid and one for my brother so we all have our own space but can see each other whenever we want.
2. My 15 yr old and I have decided we'd buy a big bus like RV and pay someone to drive us around the country so we could perform random acts of kindness daily for a few months each year. Like stopping at a WalMart seeing a young mom and her kids and telling her to fill up her cart and pay for it etc.
3. Travel with my family, we all have places we want to see that we haven't been to yet.
4. Give to three of my favorite local charities that provide free clothes, food, rent assistance etc in our area.
5. Change my phone number and not give it to my in-laws (except sis in law she's kind and kindness matters)
As cliche as it may sound my children are my biggest inspiration. 3 of the four have a disability and I've watched them fight for everything in their life. My oldest has Cerebral Palsy and is EMH and battled a seizure disorder that we had to leave untreated medically because the only meds that stopped the seizures made her have suicidal ideations at age 8. She is now 25, lives in her own apartment (no where near close enough to me!). her attitude and fight is truly inspiring. My second daughter had a son in her teens and the day before my beautiful grandson was to be 5 months, his sperm donor suffocated him while she was at school. She stood strong through the pain and depression and fought to gain herself back from the dark hole that swallowed her, she's now 23 and married to a wonderful man, hoping to be pregnant soon. My oldest son (15) has asperger's and marches to the beat of his own drummer, always has. He is a delight to be around, he's funny, witty, smart, charismatic and one of a kind. He brightens every single day. And lastly my baby he's 14 now. He plays sports, is kind and respectful to all around him, he studies hard and has goals set in his life and a "dream plan" (think business plan) mapped out on what he needs to do to achieve his dreams for himself. He's also the one who told me "Mom, you just aren't as much fun anymore" after a vacation at my highest weight, that got me researching and led me to WLS, he's changed my life.
so yeah, okay, cliche maybe? but honestly my biggest sources of inspiration.

That's a lot of work for your son if he is your only one! Yikes! But then again, he might have some fun.
