I played Powerball yesterday for the first time ever. I thought about
what I'd do with the money and I'd send my niece and nephew to college
when they graduate HS because right now they don't seem to have much
chance. I think I'd also donate a ton of it to animal rescue groups. I'd
also make sure my mom is taken care of with full time help like a
housekeeper and someone who can help her with things she struggles with
these days. And finally, I'd retire. Travel. Take my mom on trips that
she's been missing out on and wants to see before it is too late.

I think I'll buy a few more chances this week since no one won.
