I'd be happy and do what I want. 1st go to an outdoor shop, pack a super-easy bag and hit the road with 50$ and my creditcard.

I doubt my life would change that much. Certainly I would have nicer vehicles, probably a couple more houses scattered around the world but I would keep the same wife and job (taking care of her).
I suppose she would be still building houses, just free ones for people who "need" a house instead of expensive ones for people who just "want" another house.

Besides the obvious family, home and billpay stuff, I would keep my business and do the following

1. New vehicles, tools etc..
2. Become european and take a month off every year.
and most importantly...
3. Turn off my in-brain customer filter and begin telling al those customers that need it where to go, how to get there and what they should do themselves while they are there, cause I have a few who really need it.

Ultimate RV, no doubt equipped with Satellite link for Internet and TV.


This one starts at 1/2 million.

Spend all my time (when the kids are not in school) exploring America.

We live in a large diverse beautiful country and I would like to see a lot more of it.

I just want the little things in life.... a little cottage, a little Ferrari, a little yacht, a little Gulfstream......

Open a shelter for stray abandoned and abused cats. Build a shelter for the homeless vets and then a small house for me and the girl. Nothing fancy just peace and quiet. Any left over would be given to find a cure for breast cancer. Thats about it.

In my area, there are two winners that are still going to work, and in their same homes, not much changed with them except they have new cars, and now their lawn looks neat.

I would most likely follow bob's idea, with the RV, the rest of the money invest it, so i have more to give others a hand up.

gfretwell, then who's gonna build your house in Spain? ))

Gloria, my wife is a builder (aka my favorite builder)
We would need a connection for some good trades tho. As soon as we get the $200 mil I will give you a call

My dad just added this to the itinerary for when he hits the lottery:


Just something that makes me laugh at 11:36PM.
