In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would participate and take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

okay,
#1: do the happy dance (a lot like the pee pee dance only less frantic)
#2: immediately take my family away somewhere private before the news leaks out.
#3: pay off debts of ours and our family.
#4: buy ourselves a nice house (not too expensive but something that will suit our family)
#5: invest, invest, invest. I don’t want to end up on one of those shows where they show past winners who now have nothing cause they went crazy collecting weird things.
Found you on an island life. Great blog! 🙂
Scream
Freak out about what I am going to do with all that money
Hire a money manager

I would not do anything for a while. I would just sit on the news and decide what to do.

1. not tell ANYONE other than my hubby and the lottery officials.
2. sit down with hubby and figure out how we can use this money wisely.
3. figure out the amounts we would like to give to our families and friends (again without them knowing anything!)
