OMG, I SWEAR I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning after I heard the commercial for the Mega millions (105 million here).

I TOTALLY WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TOO!!!!! LMFAO!!!

Yeah I would pay off all my debt, buy a NICE HOUSE and few little toys but i would def give the rest to my family and some various charities

Re: What would you do if you won the lottery? (Wedding and otherwise)

I would pay off all our debts.

I would pay off whatever debts my parents and sisters have.

I would pay off whatever debts FH's parents and sisters have and I would set up a retirement account for FH's parents (we just found out they have next to nothing in their 401k )

I'd probably plunk some money into my grandfathers acct. He's on his own and I hate the thought of him having to worry about $$.

I would buy a house on LI, nothing crazy, but it would be in the heart of Babylon Villiage... I love it there.

I'd buy some toys... a car for FH and myself... again, nothing crazy. We're dying for a boat so that's something else we'd buy.

I'd probably donate some of it to a few different charities. Invest a chunk of it....

As for the wedding... I wouldn't change much. I'd pay for all my girls dresses and hair and makeup and all of the guys tuxes. We'd add a few extras like a VH. We'd also go on a sickass HM to Tahiti and Bora Bora and Morea... Ugh! The thought.

FH and I talk about it allllll the time. I'm going to have to pick up a few tix...

I would also pay off all of our families bills
I would buy FH and myself our dream cars
I would buy FH waverunners
I would donate to charities
I would travel all over the world

Those houses on the streets on either side of Argyle are so nice.....

My old dentist lives in that area, S. of Montauk..... one of those blocks across from Argyle. My mom used to work for him, and we went to his house once, it was an old victorian..... sick. Just sick.

I have always said that I would open a daycare for single parents so they could get on their feet. Sappy right, sorry I would also set up funds for my childrens future and pay off my aunt and uncles houses. Somehow though I dont see it happening

Re: What would you do if you won the lottery? (Wedding and otherwise)

I would probably change my wedding to be at Atlantica, in Westhampton...that place was my dream place, but way out of budget!! I would have viennesse hour....add on extra time....pay for my bm's dresses, and my family.

I would buy a house on LI...nothing to big, but big enough that we wouldn't have to upgrade at any point. I would buy a vacation home, and also a beach house on Fire Island. I would travel...and quit my current job, and just do part time. I would pay off all our debt and our families debt! Give them some money of course!

To dream.....*sigh*
