First, I would make a sizeable contribution to my church, then clear any outstanding loans. Next would be to buy a dependable used car. There are several great charities in my area that always need assistance. It would be so rewarding to help in an anomous way some needy person to regain their independence.

I would first pay my bills, Share with my children who have been a great help to my husband and I. I lost my sister just recently and My kitchen caught fire and we had to live else where until it all get fixed. Our money was very low, I had no cloths to wear and my daughter in law brought me some cloths, my daughter brought me shoes, our other daughter put us up and my sons helped out so much. Its funny how you teach them to share and when its you, you really find out how much your training and teaching makes a difference in your life as well as others. So that's why I will share with them. Then my faith is something I definitely will share with because its a voluntary organization and no one get paid for their services performed. So to further this initiative sharing the truth with others is so important I gladly will give to that. Also last but not least I share my money with the less fortunate children who are in need of education support in various areas of their lives. I run a non profti organization and I have pretty much given my life savings to it already and now low on funds so I definitely will put money into this wonderful organization as I hope others will also. check it out. google treadstonealc.com

I would pay off my childrens' school loans, buy a large piece of land and build a simple, ranch-style community house for my family, so no one in our family would ever have to worry about mortgages or loosing their home. I would indulge more in my charities and to my churches. Finally, I would build a fund for nurses who get into financial troubles for whatever reason because they give unconditionally on a daily basis to strangers.

I'd take all my family on a first-class trip to the Isle of Skye in Scotland--my favorite place on earth (and I would stay there for 6 months!) I'd probably share out any left-over with my children and grandchildren, and hopefully have enough to give more to my favorite charities.
To the person who would establish a fund for nurses: Are you a nurse or health care provider? I am a nurse and I applaud your appreciation for nurses. It is not often that you see or hear appreciation for nurses in a public forum. I, too if I received a windfall of money would do something for the nursing profession . Nursing as a career has been very good to me. it would be nice to be able to give back.
Like a lot of others, pay off my daughter's college loan, and help both "kids" pay off their house loans as well. For myself, I would like to travel and see my brother and sisters. I bought a lottery ticket today and will check it on Sunday ๐ Wouldn't that be nice if I won!!
