What would your good deed be if you won the lotto?

If you're are like me you are at your local convenience store, grocery store or gas station twice every week with your lucky numbers in hand. I have been religiously playing the same numbers for two years now. Although I know, the odds are something like one in a billion of actually winning, its very therapeutic to take a few minutes to day dream about what I would do with the money, how my life would change and who I would help.

First things first. Family. I would call to order a family meeting. I have played it out a few times in my head and decided that I would ask everyone to take some aspirin before I broke the news. I wouldn't want to ruin the best family meeting of my life with someone having a heart attack. I would break the news by making a Jeopardy knock off game and give the answer "They are the richest family in Tucson ." Obviously, the question would be "My family" and then I would tell them why. It may never happen, but as I said, it is very therapeutic.

After the family is informed and the check is cashed, it's time for my first good deed. I have given it some thought and I would give one thousand people one thousand dollars. I would ask for referrals from schools, churches and other community driven organizations to refer one thousand people in need and I would give them a thousand dollars anonymously. Although $1000 isn't a million dollars, I know it would help. I have personally been in situations in my life when $1000 would have fixed a lot or just gave me a chance to get ahead instead of living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, I could really use $1000 now. That's why I know it would help.

I am still working on "Good Deed #2." What would your good deed be?

    I've thought about this one as well. First, I would buy a huge plot of land, and build a house on it for everyone that I know(everyone gets to live there rent free forever). This property would come w/ all of the perks (swimming pools, gym, basketball court, bar, club etc. etc.) Next I would buy a bunch of bikes, cars, boats, jet skis, etc. for everyone to play w/. We'd bbq everyday, and everyone could quit there jobs. I better win big huh???
