If I won [insert obscene amount of money here]

Tags: 
  1. Okay, it would help if I actually played the lottery, but I can dream anyway, can't I?
  2. I would tell no one how much I won.
  3. I would ask my sister how much it would take to pay off her house and decorate it as she pleased. Give her that amount.
  4. I would ask my dad how much it would take to let him retire right now and play all day on his sailboat. Give him that amount.
  5. I would buy my mom a house and surprise her with it.
  6. I would buy myself a modest but comfortable house in a prime waterfront location on the North Shore (Greater Vancouver).
  7. I would toss out my crappy wardrobe and go shopping for well-fitting, elegant clothes.
  8. I would set to work planning just-the-two-of-us trips to Vietnam, Italy (again), France (Paris and elsewhere), and Japan. For a start.
  9. I would buy an apartment in central London to stay in when we visit England. When we're not there, give free reign to my boyfriend's brother and parents to use whenever they go to London.
  10. I would still work, but I would get my dream job of working on a food tv program, or a foodie magazine, or a travel program of some description.
  11. I would buy my boyfriend the Lotus he wants. I would drive something far more ecologically friendly.
  12. I would take my sister to the Cinque Terre so we could sip wine and eat fresh seafood while watching the sun set over the Italian Riviera. (I've already done this with my boyfriend and I think my sister would love it).

great idea, is it cool if i clone?

Be my guest. Admittedly I didn't search for other lists of this type, but I'd be surprised if someone didn't already have one similar.

Fun list! But can't you pursue #9 now?

I'm workin' on it!
