currently, the canadian super 7 lottery is worth twenty-four million dollars. tonight's the big draw and the entire country seems to have lotto fever. everyone's asking "what would you do if you won?" well, here's my plan when i win tonight (one task per million).
1. get a cell phone with an unlisted number.
2. move into a (really nice) hotel until i'd found a new place to live.
3. eliminate my parents' debts.
4. set both mom and dad up with generous annuities to keep them in a manner to which they should have become accustomed.
5. eliminate my debts.
6. provide mark & meghan with whatever kind of wedding they desired, wherever they desired it to be.
7. rowan would be able to go to any college she wanted.
8. heather & i would go to australia together a lot sooner than 2010.
9. tyler would be the recipient of a healthy "struggling artist" grant.
10. half of the remainder will be invested to provide a lifetime income.
then, i would:
11. buy a home (either a loft or a cute little character house on a big lot).
12. buy a car (either a volkswagen or an audi TT).
13. quit my job.
14. decorate and furnish my home (which could take months).
15. get a personal trainer.
16. travel (maritimes, england, minnesota, l.a., disneyland!, arkansas, europe, medditeranean, australasia, patagonia)
17. go to university.
18. learn to fly.
19. take photographs.
20. play the piano.
21. open a bookstore.
22. donate money to animal shelters, ms, alzheimers, diabetes & cancer research.
23. dye my hair blue.
24. enroll in a culinary institute.
Awww, now I really hope you win! ;)
Where is Australasia?
ahem.
<puppy dog eyes>
:)
good choices ;) but..dye your hair blue?!
so, $24 mil in Canadian dollars... how much is that in American dollars, maybe $200? *duck
scoff all you like... at least i get to keep it ALL. in canada, lottery winnings are tax-free.
have you ever thought about what you'd do if you had unlimited funds, and then thought about which of those things you could do NOW, without winning anything? :)
scoff scoff scoff. sure, I'm laughing at you, but I still hope you win. then you'll have all day every day to blog!
and just think of all the more interesting things i'll have to write about, too!
Hee! Minnesota!!
You should dye your hair blue now, Daisy. I want red hair. Fire engine red dredlocks, actually. *sigh*
i had blue hair for a few years two years ago. i really liked it too! first bright bright blue, then a more subdued darker blue (what can i say, i wanted a more "mature" blue).
