I don't know what I'd do...but I know what my husband and I have talked about to make more jobs here in my town.

2 ideas so far..but the one I like the most is to open a more family style restaurant here (ei: Denny's. IHOP type) We don't have any at all.  Just burgers and taco's which isn't bad, but I think we need to give people the option of a nice sit down homestyle  meal.

We get a alot of travelers, truck drivers, and visiters who have to  put up with fast food only.  We have 3 hotels close to each other and only fast food to chose from.  I know I'd love to wake up and go sit down to some bacon, eggs, hashbrowns.....the works.

smart couple, I would take the annuity too!!  There's no reason I would need all of that $$$ at once, plus that way it would possibly deter some of the "Beggars" that heard you won the lottery from knocking on your door.  I would say, well I only get an annuity and it's all tied up right now.  but that's just me

 I know about housing bubble and everything. I mean, real estate in the US is RELATIVELY less popular than in Korea.

 Well, the average household income in Korea is about 1/3~1/4 of Americans. But the housing value is crazy. A middle class apartment in Seoul commands half a million USD to even 1.5 mil USD. (they sell apartments like houses.)

You know, I just love this couple.  They sound real smart.  Farming is the way to go.   I think if I do anything, it will be farming also after I win.  Organic vegies are a rare thing here.  I could provide some to our local grocers.  Growing a healthy garden is only hard work if you make it that way.  I personally enjoy the outdoors anyway I can get it. 

My husband is a farmer.  Well...not full-time yet.  His grandpa has been a farmer since he was like 2 back in Arkansas.  He moved to Washington after he married and built his farm from the ground up.  He says " hard work gets you want you want...I've never bought on credit, and I never will." Spoken like a true Southerner with a thick accent lol.  Today, he's over 80 and would still be on a tractor if it wasn't for his lungs failing him.  My husband is a carpenter by trade, but has been taking over the responsibilities of the farm.  Something he's done since he was a kid, but more now that grandpa is not able to.  He loves it, and says he was born to be a farmer. lol

His grandpa wants him to continue his farm after he's gone.  A farming name pretty well known around here, and he can't wait to quit his job as a carpenter to be a full-time farmer.  I asked him if he had plans to quit "after" I win my millions.  He said  I could win the biggest jackpot in lottery history, but he ain't going to give up his farming. lol

Its good to have a job of some sort after a win.  I think it gives you some sense of occomplishment at the end of the day.  I'd feel unsatisfied in a way if at the end of the day all I did was shop for clothes and other material stuff.  Keeps you grounded.  I hope they stay true to their decission and keep active!

I hope I can experience that someday...I might even learn how to drive the tractor!

I was an English teacher in Korea for three years and I think you're full of yourself.

1.  You base your generalization of Koreans and rich Koreans from an article where they explain the scandals from a couple of richbusinessmen.  Many rich businessmen around the world are the same way.

2.  Korea is very small country with only 48,000,000 people; their economy and technology is extremely well when you realize how small they are. 

3.  There are no North Koreans in the USA.  North Koreans rarely have any contact outside their country.  If there are North Koreans inthe USA, then they would be labeled as Chinese because they probably escaped North Korea, then into China.

4. You are ignorant.   I am Caucasian and the Koreans were one ofthe nicest people I have ever met in my life.  Their country is extremely modernized and clean.   Their technology and industrial power is amazing.

Congrats to this nice family!

I love the idea to farm, especially pecans. I had a pecan tree in my yard during college. It was great. An orchard has been on my list of things to occupy myself after winning the jackpot.  Pecans, peaches, blackberries. 

I want to do that to! I don't have room where I am at now, but I want to grow a bunch of fruit trees and other fruits and vegatables. I also want to have horses like I used to. One day.

Mmmm, blackberry jam :-)

Giving thanks at church but bought the ticket at the liquor store.
