How should I spend my winnings? Hmmmmm... // and Baby Giraffe photos!
Posted August 6th, 2008 by Phoenix
After I stop hyperventilating I'd grab the family and head to Hawaii to discuss the next steps after winning the Lotto!
I'd get as far away from a phone and the internet and begin the process of dividing up the money. Most importantly I'd split the winnings down the middle with 1/2 going into the bank to collect interest and the other 1/2 meeting immediate needs.
Continue working? Whew! Tough call. But let's be real, a million doesn't go as far as it used to...like I know! Show me the money then we'll talk.
By the way, here are some photos released of the new, yet unnamed, baby giraffe at the Calgary Zoo...awwwww!
Awwwww....
Good luck,
Phoenix
That's some big winnings!
Well Phoenix, my family and I have a pool going for the draw tonight -- my grandfather's been playing for years, and somehow, he and I decided to give it a try. (I think it came about by me saying, "well, let's make a pool! you in?" and then other people started jumping in!) All in all, we have 15 people in our pool that's either his kids and grandkids, and 3 of my roommates. How cool would it be if we won?! The government wouldn't fund my schooling anymore -- haha, but I don't think I would blame them! It'd be nice to just get rid of those student loans, pay off my mastercard, and pay for a wedding and a house! How would I tell them? Well, I don't think I'd be able to contain myself! I'd call my mom first, for sure! And then likely my grandpa second. But once everyone in the pool was notified, I'd call you. ;) BTW, cute giraffe! I should go see him.
