KY Powerball 193 mil.... what would you do if you won?

[Mojo Chick'n]

OH! ya know, there is one charity I would donate to...

can't think of the name of it right now, but it's the one where they give people in hard luck countries farm animals - chickens, ducks, cows, etc... and help them start up a livelihood with that.

now that is a cool charity, if ya ask me.

the only requirement is that once they get their flock/herd going, they need to gift someone else with their hatches/births so someone else can start a farm livelihood.

wish I could remember the name of that charity.

Oh my gosh, I would get someone to build my dream pen which I saw here, knock my house down and rebuild it, put more than enough away for my girls' college funds, help my mom and family, pay off all debt and get more chickens

Yep! that's the one.

what a neat idea... much better than shipping in food all the time to people who may or may not get the food or medical supplies in the end anyway.

Oh I'm always dreaming of winning the lotto - I'd share with family for sure... and buy myself the biggest ranch out here I could find, and live totally off the land!

I would use all of it to pay off some of my debts. The rest of my creditors will have to wait.

Well, seeing as how I'm young and just starting out in life my goals would probably be different than some of yours.

1.) Pay off the rest of the mortgage for my mom.
2.) Buy us both a new car to replace our crappy ones.
3.) Go to my dream college (without worrying about money)
4.) Go to vet school (without worrying about debt)
5.) Move to my dream area
6.) Buy a nice house and lots of land
7.) Travel. (Paris, Italy, Ireland Galipigos Islands, Roadtrip all across the US)
8.) Take in so many handicapped / orphaned animals it would make your head spin

Every year I buy something from heifer for my dad for xmas, last year me and sis bought him a Llama. It's a great conversation starter for him, other people talk about the sweater or new golf bag thier kids got them, and he says "my girls bought me a Llama".

I have always said that if I win the lottery (which, I might add, that I do not play) then I would start an animal sanctuary along the same lines as Best Friends in Utah. (www.bestfriends.org)

I would also have a lot of happy friends and family members, that's for sure.

My personal needs are few, but I do worry about my animals when times get tough like they are now. I know that our household budget is seriously strained, and I know that we're not alone in that regard these days.
