I'm on a roll with mustard and tomato.

If I won the lottery ...

Let's say it was a $50 million jackpot and I could get $28mil as a lump sum.  Or whatever.

First I would pay my parents back for the school stuff they paid for the last few years.

Then I would pay off my student loan debt (since the Koch Bros probably aren't interested).

I would set up a $10,000 savings account or trust (or something) for the three little girls I live with so that they can go to college (I'm sure by the time any of them are eighteen $10,000 would be equivalent to half a semester at a state school.)

I would donate $2000 to the hospital here for giving me a nearly free CT scan.

I would donate $2000 to the Waikiki Health Center even though they're pill pushers.

I would donate $0 to my university (you guys got enough of my cash already).

I would take a year off from working to finish my book (hopefully).

I'd finally get a flippin' cat and give it all the best toys (cardboard boxes for days, I tell you).

I would take a trip somewhere interesting.

And then I would just relax.  I would probably get a Honda Fit or something, buy a small house or 3-bedroom apartment, and relax.



Now that I'm finally back in a state with a lottery, maybe that's something I should be looking into.
