Bills, debt, all of that... then I buy the 130 acres I've got my eye on and build a horse farm. A shock, I know. 30 acres of that land is wooded, so I'd have seasonally themed trail rides. Mardi Gras and Easter in the spring. Hayrides through a Louisiana bayou, with a little shack just off the path, New Orleans jazz coming out of a speaker while an animatronic Cajun either picks on a banjo or peels some crawfish. With a Louisiana yard dog (gator) nearby. Haunted trails in the autumn, and a winter wonderland in, you know, the winter. The bayou shack becomes Santa's workshop, and I will by golly put reindeer antlers on that gator.
Friesians, Gypsies, Gypsians and one draft mare (probably Percheron), for Gypsy Drum horses. Breed, train show and sell.
Watch my grandbabies grow up. There are worse things for kids than fresh air, sunshine and horses.

I would probably kill myself doing painful things to prove I was dreaming.

Lottery (n): A tax on people who are bad at math.

When it gets to obscene amounts, I mostly buy the ticket so when they announce the amount at stake, and Grandma says, "I wonder if we could win," then I can prove to her we didn't and put her mind at ease.
