Powerballlllll

[hclappy]

I'm assuming nobody here won the Powerball this week? I sure didn't, LOL. I had a conversation with Jason, because we can have endless conversations about winning the lottery, and he brought up an interesting question.

He was telling me the lengths some people go to stay anonymous if they win. And I'm like "Heck yeah! We're ditching our phones, taking down our FB accounts, MOVING, anything you can think of to stay hidden, we're doing it!" Then he looks at me and goes "But what about scrapping? You're the one with the social media presence. Can you give that up?"

What??? Give up my CT's??? Not share my layouts???

I mean I guess if I won the lottery I could afford to buy all.the.things scrappy-wise. And Lord knows I'd have lots of cool stuff to scrap if we won a bunch of money. But sharing my layouts is part of the fun for me. I'd be bummed if I had to stop that.

So do y'all play the lottery, and if so, do you have a plan for if you win? (I have had a very detailed plan of action in place since I was like 7 years old).

Well, we obviously didn't win, either. LOL No real plan, but it's nice to think about from time to time,

Not much would really change for us home-wise; we live simply and would continue to live that way. We'd definitely never fly coach again. We'd be able to take care of my mom and allow her to retire now. She's 63 and not in great health, but can't afford to retire without reasonable health insurance. It would be great to help our family in so many ways, but our lives directly would just be more comfortable without worry for the future.

We'd definitely go to any length possible to remain anonymous. No question about that.

If I had won that big of a lottery, I would throw the biggest scrap party imaginable. Rent a whole hotel, invite everybody! LOL! There would still be lots leftover.

We didn't win and I think just one number.
We would keep it a secret for awhile- to seek advice and a trust with a big name financial attorney.

We we are already retired but would be able to assist the kids more. We would be getting a house on the beach, for sure. And provide some anonymous donations.
