    I would take my 5 year old granddaughter to Walmart (she loves Walmart) and let her pick out some board games and new books. I would then prepare to spend the rest of the day with her on a picnic. She would be so happy to have a picnic with me. We would have a great time playing games, reading her new books, making up silly songs, eating sandwiches (that she would have helped make), laughing, dancing and taking plenty of silly faced pictures for her keepsake. She is the light of my life. She has such a pleasant personality and loves to spend time with her grandma. That is what I would do with a well deserved day off from my job as a home daycare provider. Spending quality time with just me and my grandbaby is priceless and making memories is always a super duper way to show my little sweetheart that I love her forever.

    It would be wonderful and so refreshing to have a nice day out with my husband and actually go to a restaurant that we haven't done in such a long, long time. Then I'd enjoy taking my grandchildren to the park and just enjoy being outside having fun with watching their excitement to be outside for the day. After a full day, then it would be Calgon taking me away in a nice hot, luxurious bath to end the day.

    Creating pottery pieces has been my solice during Covid....I pay an hourly rate at the studio, and I only go 2 hours a week to budget my time.  With this money I would not worry about my time and spend hours making pieces...a day of pottery and of course stop and have a nice lunch.

    I would give the money to my son who just had accident and became paralyzed from the waist down.  We had to redo his house which was a old farm house so he could come home to his family.  It's been very hard on everyone.

      I would take the day and have breakfast with my Dad. He has struggled since losing Mom last August. Then I would have some time outside in the sunshine (ideally on the beach!) and then maybe a message to loosen up these tense muscles.

      Beautiful idea, I would take a day for myself and go to the beach and enjoy the day. I would love to take a ride out and just enjoy myself. The panic has caused us to stay home and not enjoy ourselves. It would be wonderful if we all could do that. Just enjoy the beautiful days ahead.

      A day off and $200 would be enough to allow a day and night with my wife of 28 years at a hotel that has a pool, spa, and dining leaving the phone, computer, dishes and all else behind.

      Great idea, the people who have won I wish you all the luck there is. There are quite a few things I would love to do but you can't do them all. I pray that every one of you wins great prizes.
