If I Won the Lottery...

This is an interesting concept.  I never play the lottery.  Maybe I should try it at least once after answering this question.

The current mega millions jackpot in New York is $71,000,000.  Honestly, I'm not sure I could imagine having even 1/71 of that.  Let's just work with that instead.

If I had $1,000,000...

Well, let's see, it would play out like this.

$100,000 to pay off school loans and continue putting Eaic through school and pay for some continuing education
$500,000 to buy a home
$25,000 to buy a couple new cars
$10,000 for a dream wedding
$200,000 for my kids' education

the remaining $165,000 would go to my parents and my family.  Lord knows they put up with a whole lot from me growing up.

Aside from school loans, I'm not in any scary debt situation.  It'd be nice to be debt-free and living well... so yes, I think I might just play the lottery once.
