POWER BALL!

I'M GOING TO WIN IT!

I'm not much of a gambler per say, but with a jackpot like $310 MILLION who wouldn't?! I never used to play the lottery, but I thought to myself recently "hey why not!". I've been watching the numbers and payouts pretty closely, and it honestly could be anyone's game. I've found myself day dreaming about what I would do with the money, if indeed I had won. With taxes taken out, it would leave me with around $197 million to play with!

First I would of course donate to charity. I would donate at least 1 million to the college I went to, and have the money spent on a scholarship basis. It would benefit students similar to me; ones that weren't 4.0 students but excelled in clinical basis, students that might be going through a rough time working two to three jobs just to get by. It would be set out in $500-1,000 scholarships, and they would of course have to apply. I think it would be great to give back to the future Radiology students in the area.

Each of my family members, cousins, aunties and uncles would each receive $1 million right away. I'm not going to lie, of course my parents and sister would get a larger portion of the money. I have A LOT of family, so you're talking like almost $25-30 million gone right away just in cousins and stuff! My dream is for my family to never want, especially my parents and sister. I suspect my mom would quit her job (I don't think she likes working...) so she could do whatever with her money. My parents could finally buy or build a house of their dreams and live very comfortably for the rest of their days. I'd never have to worry about being far away from them, because they could have enough money to visit me where ever I am. My sister could buy a really nice apartment in NYC and do whatever she wants with her money. I think I'd invest part of my money also. My financial advisory is really awesome, so I don't think she'll steer me wrong.

My friends obviously couldn't go without. I'd pick out two weeks, randomly two weeks planned ahead of time and take them all on a destination vacation! I'd book a whole resort somewhere fabulous and take them on a trip of a lifetime. I'd give them enough time to all get passports and give their employers notice for vacation time of course. It would be an all inclusive trip so they literally would just have to pack their bags and go. It would be really awesome if they could all fly together, but knowing them it'll be super complicated to coordinate lol. So they'll just have to settle for getting tickets wherever to get them there. Sorry guys haha! 

As far as I'm concerned, I think I would invest money in some estates and go back to school. I can't imagine myself just sitting around on top of all this money, essentially becoming an expensive toy hoarder. Everyone I know either works or goes to school so that counts hanging out with my friends all the time. Actually, now that I think of it that makes me happy. All my friends for the most part are either working and going to school! Good for them, I'm glad they aren't losers lol. I of course would travel and see the world with my money. Maybe take my sister and cousins along with me. That would be great fun! 

But alas, this is only a day dream!
