I think a state wide spay neuter program, funding to shut down puppy mills and regulate back yard breeders and money for Pet Finders and local rescue would be nice. Plus a big box of biscuits for Henry, Robbie and Toby!

Since I'm winning the lottery tonight as well we are obviously going to have to split it.

And I'll do what I've always wanted to be. A philanthropist. I would actually have an office and go to work every day to figure out where I would invest the money. It's my life's dream.

Even a million dollars a year might be too much to live on.

If I win- (after taxes) I will take 10 million for myself and family (friends, too), and put the remainder in a Trust to be used for Medicare- but ONLY if the program is made available to everyone.

I am going to take 100 million and start a PAC with the sole purpose of ending all PACS. The balance of my winnings will be evenly distributed among DU members I like

Set up some trust funds for all my nieces and nephews. Worry about College? Not anymore.

The ones who already graduated will get a one time gift, if intelligent they will use it for their retirement, serious.

Perhaps buy a home and sell this apartment... definitely replace the truck, probably for a leaf or volt. I like the volt actually.

Home will get solar right out the bat... if we should decide to build, green all the way.

Use some quid to set a foundation to assist homeless vets.

Use another to set a foundation to help the Red Cross in Tijuana...

Invest wisely

Travel

Enjoy life...

Of course, first I need to actually win...



Oh and yes will remain a fighter for progressive causes.
