when the mega millions jackpot
hit 1 billion dollars tonight
i decided to take my chances
shell out 2 dollars
buy a lucky ticket
and imagine for at least 12 hours
what i would do with my billion
not a bad price for half a day of creative fun.
the winning ticket?
what would you do with a billion dollars if you won?

I would start a publishing company. I would hire a researcher on the verge of curing cancer/diabetes/alzheimers….something! And fund them to finish without redtape. I would help some kids. I would help some charities . I would build my little log cabin the dell. I would probably become a hermit (can you be a traveling hermit?) I would love giving.

Hhhhhhhmmmmm, well that would not entice me to apply for the job of hermit. I think I will make up my own hermit rules. 🙂
And I think the giving would be the best thing about winning 🙂

Yes, I’d say certainly make up your own. I agree about the giving

A billion sounds too much really…. I suppose I would gain suddenly lots of friends…. 🙂
I would finally have my own business: my -‘Sense’ Tea room with meditation corner…..

Hire an attorney! LOL. Pay off my debts, pay off my two best friends home mortgages, buy my brother a house, arrange all 10 grandchildren’s college funds – then buy 40 acres in the woods with a tiny house and a tiny storage shed and a decent 4 wd vehicle and then craft, write, read and nature walk the rest of my lovely days as a hermitess.

I have never imagined winning money. Probably because I have never won anything. I just have no idea but I would definitely share with others.

Good luck, Beth, remember me if you win.
That much dough, I would go on one hell of a spending spree, take care of everyone I like, family included, and be a big shot and endow all the charities in town.
