Ok the Mega-Millions is $356m...time to start dreaming!
Nothing wrong with dreaming:
Pay off my bills
Pay off my niece's house
Help my other niece get a house
Get a house large enough to have a wing for my mother in law to live with us and provide nursing help when the time comes
Buy my husband a sports car
Pay off my son's student loan
Open trusts for my son and great nephew
Make sure I have enough put aside for a comfortable retirement
Help my brother and brother and sister in law have a comfortable retirement
Have fun helping others with needs they have
Help support many out reach ministries at our church
Just think, there would still be millions left to spread happiness!!!

I have a new philosophy, I'm only going to dread one day at a time. Charlie Brown
Let's see....
I'd pay off my car, student loans, and my husband's credit cards. And then I'd pay off my mother's house and set aside $5M in a high interest savings account for her retirement.
I'd set aside $10M in a trust for my children, $5M in savings for my husband and myself, and $5M into my business account.
Then, I'd get my hair done. (I dream big, don't I?)
I'd break up $30M among various organizations I support-- $5M to my synagogue, and $5M to Feed the Children. $5M to Big Brothers and Sisters, and $15M to be spread out across national food pantries and womens' shelters.
Then I would pack up my kids, my aunt, and my mother, hire a private jet and take off into the wild blue. I'd travel around with my family wherever we felt like going until we ran out of money. :) The aforementioned plans would leave us with roughly $60M to play with, and I'm pretty sure I could do some damage with that. :)
When our adventures are over, I'd come back home and open a little bakery on the east coast and happily bake my way to retirement.

1) Pay off the house, put it on the market, and buy one closer to my office.
2) Buy a modest condominium for my stepson, pay off my step-daughter's mortgage, and fund my niece's college education.
3) Buy myself a 2-seater car.
4) Book a cruise to South America.
5) Go back to college for my Master's Degree in Geography--Travel and Tourism.
6) Hire a driver and a stylist for my husband.
In the long-term, I'd change the focus of my job to help more families with special needs children work through family transitions. I'd plan on spending 30-40% of my time traveling and start a travel business.
Many of these things are things I intend to do anyway, but having some money in the bank would make things so much easier. (I don't think I can swing the whole buying houses for the kids or hiring a driver for my husband no matter without the lottery).

Ok, first things first--go to church and give thanks--make a sizable donation!!
Next pay off our debts (of which we have many!)
Pay off my kids mortgages (they could then handle their own bills)
Set up trust funds for the grandsons
Donate to my favorite charities
TRAVEL !!!! A month in New York City, a year or two traveling all around the United States and then God willing we would tackle other parts of the world.
IF ONLY !!!

I love to dream like this HAHA
I would pay off my house and have my mom move in it.
I would buy a HUGE house with lots of land for my kids to have a house on the land when they get older and married if they want.
Pay off all our bills.
Start college funds for my kids and god kids.
I have a large extended family who growing up having a single parent they all pitched in to help. I would hit them all off with 25-50K.
I would donate to our church.
I would also like to pay for dance and gymnastics scholarships for kids because my kids do this and it hurts our pockets I would like to make it easier on parents.
I would start my business finally. Destiny Handbags would no longer be a dream but a go!
Lastly I would buy a pimped out RV me and hubby hate to fly and we always joke when he retires selling everything and travel around North America in the RV.
He would start up a AAU Basketball organization.
He would also keep working for the postal service.
Ahhh a girl can dream I need to go buy some tickets!

Honestly, I already travel a lot and do everything I want to do travel wise and such. I'd probably take some time off school and finish remodeling our house in Ireland because right now I only work on it 3 months at a time when I spend the summer there.
I'm pretty cheap...I mean, we're pretty cheap. We don't spend money on anything but travel unless we have to. We just save everything. So we'd probably just save and invest it for future travel and such.
