If you won the lottery what would you do?

Hi Everyone,

I'm just curious, if you won, let's say, 2 million dollars in the lottery, what would you do with the money?

I would buy 40 acres of land, build a house and start a No Kill animal shelter. This is my dream and I'm working on doing this even if I don't win the lottery, although it would happen a lot faster if I did.

My shelter would accept dogs, cats, rabbit and birds. I don't think that I would turn away any animal, but those are the animals I'd have facilities for. I would like a huge barn for the cats to roam around but not get hurt. I'd have an outdoor arena for the dogs to run, and an indoor facility for sleep and when it's cold. A huge atrium for the birds and another barn for the bunnies. I've adopted all I can, now it's time to find homes for the others.

Your shelter sounds like Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Will you have room for donkeys and goats too?? I'll help out with them. Also, I'm real good at scooping cat litter.

(Wear a yellow tulip on your lapel and I will watch for you.)

I would buy 1000 acres right next to Ted Neugent and kill and eat as many animals as he. Maybe more. I like meat. Donkey meat is real good. I would mount their heads on all of the out buildings and fence post to scare off animal lovers and tree huggers and other assorted buggers.

magprob, if you do that, I won't share my Spam sandwiches with you any longer. No brownies for you either!

I wouldn't need a Spam Samwich. I'd be eating Donkey samwiches.

I'll start recruiting animals. We have enough strays around my house to fill several shelters twice over. Sure I'd give money, just can't be too careful these days ya know. That's where other countries have it right, you can't sue anyone.
Thanks magprob I now have lovely images in my head.

Gernald and Wondergirl- Ach, das ist so schoen. Meine familie ist im Weikersheim in der nehe von Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Ich hab viele Tantes, Onkels und cousine, ich vermisse alle sehr. Sorry, the Germans a bit rusty.

I'd wear the yellow tulip but I don't think I'll be in Chicago anytime soon, I live in Canada. If you're ever in the neighborhood look me up, I'll have the pooper scooper ready.

Gernald · Feb 19, 2008, 08:38 PM

My German kind of sucks anyway, I was never very good at it.

Cool, I lived in Heidelburg with my dad for a while.
Wish I could go back, it's so much nicer over there.

Come to think of it I'd spend some money on that too....

Anywhere near Toronto? I'm from a little town in NY southeast across the lake. I could visit my mom and waterski over to you. Or meet you on Goat Island.
