Word on the Street: If You Won the Lottery, What Would be Your First Purchase?


  • Anneeta J Van Buren I did and my first purchase would be to get my Mom outta the nursing home and give her the best care in my home.
  •  Jeannene Schutt  So many good things planned…the first would be revving a great old building into an assisted living for people on Medicaid…those who have worked hard and end up with nothing should not be denied that option  Then following in Warrens steps…give out kids enough to do something…but not enough to do nothing! 
  •  Jane Olson I would help so many people if I win. A lot of people would benefit.
  • Lauri Bundy Canarsky If Leonard wins (he’s the one who buys the ticket every week) I would finance a dialysis unit at Oakland Heights. Both of my parents were on dialysis & I always said that that’s what I would do, if I only had the money.
  •  Amy Marr I would start out buying necessities…house, vehicle(s), college funds for my boys. I would then extend it to my family and close friends and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I would most definitely give to several great causes and I would have surgery on my back, shoulder, and feet so that I may hope to feel better some day!
  •  Angie Maxwell Right off the top goes to my church. Then I would buy back my family farm and equip it with everything needed, then pay off bills and take one hell of a vacation!!!
  •  Dee Johnson A vacation home close to the beach!
  •  Susan Reynolds-Seery I would buy my husband a new work truck.
  •  James Dahlgren I would buy land and take care of a lot of Veterans along with family and friends.
  • Bonnie Starman I would buy a house with a basement under it.
  • Linda Carlson the first thing I would do is go south for a couple of months and then figure it out! Wouldnt it be wonderful!
