YAY on winning!!! You should either open up a 5-year CD with the money, or get 175 $1 bills and smack homeless people with them.  |

I actually take some of it (maybe $25) and buy more lottery tickets to see if I can keep the winning streak going, but that is the degenarate gambler in me.  And the rest buy something fun for yourself. |

Swamp, if you were thinking of getting the Wii another choice might be the Xbox 360 with the Kinect. You can play games without a controller and it looks like a lot of fun. Your body is the controller. I was thinking of getting one. Great with a big screen tv.

Our state has a million dollar lottery this New Years Eve. I think the odds are fairly good, for a lottery, about 1 in 100,000, and there are 5 grand prize winners. I'm very tempted!!

I you buy a EE bond then you will have $350.00.. Frame it as a reminder that you can bet the odds but not often..
Just a thought,

I went to a jewelry store on New Year's Eve to have my engagement and mother's rings cleaned and inspected. While I was waiting, I was wandering around looking at the jewelry. A blue topaz star burst necklace caught my eye. It was more than the $175 that I won, but I bought it anyway. It's really pretty |

I suppose buying a ticket once in a while would help my chances of winning.

The necklace sounds pretty. I like blue topaz too. I'd love to win that $290 million which might be a challenge if I don't buy a ticket.  |

Get 100 $1 bills. Carry them around so you can impress people with your awesome wad of cash.
Spend $25 on more lottery tickets
Spend $25 on chocolate
Put $25 into savings

My DH didn't give me any lottery tickets so I didn't win anything, but if I had...hmmm that's a toughy cuz there's nothing I want to buy. I'd probably just bank it.
