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.

I would move to a Country where there is no oil.

Wondergirl- I live in a hamlet around 5 km from Edmonton called Sherwood Park, a 5-6 hour flight from Toronto. Who knows, maybe I'll make a trip to Chicago one day with the hubby and kids, can I bring my fur babies?

Gernald- Your German is great. I love Germany, I would go visit more often if it wasn't so expensive, but a family of 4 can cost quite a bit, especially because I'd have to rent a car etc. I love living in Canada however and I wouldn't leave, unless I can get my own island somewhere near Hawaii.

What, no black gold, no texas tea? How about the Oilers, gotta love them.

Texas Tea... LoL, nope not even the oilers would keep me here. I would sell all, and move to the last place America would think to look for oil. :-)

Funny, I'd move to the last place anyone would ever look for me.

Oil wouldn't be a bad thing to have on my island in Hawaii, the money might run out some day and I'll have to find a way to make a buck. I don't think weaving grass skirts is in my future.

Solar panels, lots a batteries, and bikes.

Well, I don't know about all of you but I'm stuck in Canada for awhile. Love it here, I just wish the darn snow would melt already, I want to see my lawn, even if it will be brown. I can't wait to bring out the sprinkler and wear my shorts.

Ooooooh along with my original comment. I would also like to buy a lifetime supply of Chowards scented gum. That stuff is addicting.

Gum? Hmmm, how expensive is this gum that you would have to win 5 million? What's in this gum? Can you buy it over the counter?

I'm sticking with the expensive chocolate. Which country makes the best chocolate, I might have to go to the source.
