What would you do, have you ever thought about it ?
Hubby and i were talking about it the day because after all we can dream...lol. Anyway we would buy one of those big big motorhomes and put all the stuff we want to keep into storage and head off for a 4 year tour looking for that beautiful spot that we want to retire in. And if we won enough build a home in Australia and spend time here and time there. I would love a stone brick home on a lake in Montana or Wyoming. Oh how we can all dream

I think i would take a long holiday back home first then buy my dream home as well. I like your idea about traveling around and the way your talking about doing it i think that would be exciting! Of course i would be making sure some was put away, i could imagine how easy it would be to waste a lot of the money. I know i would go crazy wanting this and that and then all of a sudden its all gone

I would love to be able to split living in both countries, i would move home tomorrow but i understand my husband would miss is family and friends so to do both would be out of this world! Yes i know i miss my family and friends but it was my choice to move so you have to put up and shut up i guessbut only to a degree!
I would build a beautiful home, go on a good holiday for at least 2 months, put money aside for any children's schooling (imagine how expensive college would be). Oh and all brand new furniture for the brand new home:-) Throw a few bucks my darling husbands way for a few new toys he might want:-)

Just a few bucks don't go overboard will youbut i like your way of thinking.
I would have my Husband retire and go on a touring holiday as well. I think the same as most of you have said build the perfect home with all the mod and cons. Sit back and live like royalty.

lol...we've often talked about this subject.
First I'd give my kids & our brothers & sisters a decent slice.
Then we too would love to travel.
I'd love a bigger house & bigger garden, but not sure what to do there, as we have the best neighbours we've ever had where we live now, and I know I'd miss them. Might have to stay at the same address & build a two storey house.
Nah...on second thoughts, if I won lotto it would probably only just pay for my next electricity bill!!
(that's an in-joke for those living in Australia...we have been having the most crippling price hikes in electricity, with worse yet to come.  )

| After fixing all the kids and family up and paying everything off........ we would never see a Winter. 6 months in Oz and 6 months here and if the USCIS got in my face again, the middle finger would be extended and it would be 12 months in Australia.

| Actually i would love to open a REAL Aussie restaurant here i think it would be cool. And i know some might think this is cruel but to have a few koala's and maybe Wallabys running and climbing around the restaurant with glass windows so people could see them would be unreal....We can all dream
