If I won the Lottery...

On FB, Valley News Live asked yesterday, "What is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?"

I responded:

I need to think bigger than the "first thing" I would do: First, I would be anonymous.
  1. Pay all bills
  2. Replace old rusty vehicles with new
  3. Give kids an early inheritance
  4. Support a local non-profit with a life gift
  5. Give immediate family members a one-time gift
  6. Set up a foundation to fund college for kids from Roseau County, MN
  7. Invest for my life
  8. Provide a yearly Easter gift to Salvation Army.
  9. Travel with my hubby
  10. Get a house cleaning service.
  11. 0h, and have my hubby's garage insulated and wired.

That sounds a lot like my list, although James wouldn't get an early inheritance yet. ;-) I think that paying bills and then investing for my life would be at the top of my list, though, just so that I wouldn't have to worry later about not being able to support myself when I retire...I figure that's a bigger favor to James than anything else.
Oh, and I would get good life and long term care insurance policies for Ryan and I.
