I'd thank the Lord first and then pay off all my debt and retire before I'm 70 and then spend some time with my grand children who have become so distant to me. I'd also help ASPCA with all those poor innocent animals that don't have many people on their side. I'd work on finding placement, food and a way for dropouts and children whose families have put them out and given up on them. Mine included, his mother put him out, my daughter, can you beleive that. He told me that he is not the only one out there. There are lots of children his age and younger going through the same delima.

Celebrate with a huge Family Reunion (8 years is too long) We live in different countries so it is difficult. Then I would pay off all debts, and put the rest into savings/mutual funds>

I would pray enough blows directly in my hands so I could pay off my debt. Immediately, I would pay my electric bill. A whopping $590. +. IM scheduled for shut-off on June 8. Im afraid. It will take over a year or more to come with all the money I will need to get it back on. Im praying for a miracle.

That being said, my husband and I would take that long awaited trip to sunny Key West. Last time there was just after receiving a second cancer diagnosis and before bilateral mastectomies, chemo and radiation. The body is different but the anticipation of adventure has not faded. Snorkeling! Grand tortugas! Crazy good food!

Windfall could be anything from a few thousand $$ to millions from a lotto win. I'd start with paying off our house mortgage (our only debt). I'd then set aside funds to keep us and whomever survises comfortable to the end. But then it gets fun from traveling first class to philanthrophy.

If I win the ' widfall of money ', I would spend more time in my dedication
to our Men and Women Afghanistan / Iraq War Veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD ). In our Armed Forces out of
2,600,000 who have served, 880,000 Marines and soldiers have PTSD.
Sincerely,
Jerome V. Blum,M.D.
