When I was younger my mom bought me a deck of cards called "52 Things to Try Once in Your Life". So I decided that this year I'd do one new thing a week from the deck, and squeeze these experiences into my blog.
The Mega Millions jackpot was up to $355 Million last week, so it seemed like a good time for the "Buy a lottery ticket" first. Now, the truth is that I've played scratch tickets and Keno before, which technically qualify as "lottery tickets", but I'd never bought a ticket to a big game.
I didn't think I had any superstitions about "lucky numbers", so I got 10 Quick Picks for me, and John had asked for 10 quick picks too. Turns out that I do have superstitions about lucky numbers because I quickly claimed the two slips that had 8's on them. The drawing wasn't until 11 something, which is past my bedtime, so the next morning I checked my tickets. No Luck.
But what would I have done with that money if I had won. I'd want a bigger house, and of course I'd take care of all my family and close friends, and give some extra to my favorite charities. But I really don't know what I'd have done with the rest. What would you do with more money than you needed?

More money than I needed? It's been a topic all around the country this past week! The one splurge I came up with was a downtown condo with an amazing view. I'd pay for the view more than gratuitous square footage, and I'd consider having a well-paid housekeeper!
I'm doing a goals list/blog for 2011, too ... http://bit.ly/euW5me
I would find people that needed my help. Especially Veterans who fight to protect our freedoms and so many of them are homeless. I don't understand any of that. There shouldn't be ONE homeless Vet anywhere. I see it everyday. It breaks my heart. So what would I do with the extra money, I think I've answered that.
