If you won the lottery....

what is the absolute wildest thing you would do with some of the money?

Has anyone seen the commercials for 5 Gum?There is one where this guy walks up to a round pool of these dime sized ball bearings.There are billions of them.Then he turns on this subwoofer thing that vibrates the bearings and he lays down in the middle of them whil the woofer is going boom-boom.It's gotta be one of the neatest sensations in the world.I would search high and low for that studio and pay them to let me lay on the ball bearings!!

  I really don't know. Buy everything that we need. Nest eggs for sure. Interest and college for my daughter. A nice comfy life.

  Yes, Scrapper, I've seen that ad, and think the same thing. If you won enough, you could build your own.
  Kind of like a ballpit in your own house, lined with subwoofers. Very cool.
  I'd buy a chunk of land and build a compound. A huge house with outbuildings for friends and family.
  I'd want to have a kitty ranch too.
  I know there's lots of dog people here, and I am too. BUT....What I wouldn't do to be able to save all the kitties who need a home and build a really neat habitat for them all fenced in with deer fencing so they wouldn't realize they were fenced in. And have it cooled in the summer and warmed in the winter.
  Kathy's Cat Ranch. Does that sound like a house of ill repute?
  Anyway, that's what I'd do.

  Buy a huge parcel of land, build a log cabin, and set up a no kill animal shelter, and some small cabins so that people who normally don't get help could have a place to go to start over. They could work on the farm until they got on their feet. Since people without kids have the hardest time getting help, I would focus on them.
  
  I would go around and help elderly people, buying their med or groceries, anonymously. Fund the cost of degreees for adult students who don't qualify for other financial aid.
  
  And send some money to Kath's Cat Ranch (maybe ask for a job. smirk, smirk)

  Okay,okay,you all are making me feel bad...lol.
  I would help out some of my family,the ones who do not hate me and I might pay for counseling for the ones who do hate me.I would help the animal shelter here in town,because it is not a no-kill shelter and I would definitely help out some of the people in my area who lost everything in the flooding this past 5 or 6 weeks...but I still want to do the ball bearing thing first....

  Ball bearings are good
  
  Kitty house would get real consideration too
  
  Would like to do something to help those who have just been diagnosed with devastating illnesses and have no support system in place.I've seen so many people fall through the cracks before assistance finally kicks in.People losing everything in addition to being sick.
  
  I'd buy my mom a baby grand
  
  Would move my dad in with me in our new home.
  
  Am I broke yet?
