We just got a used car this year and car insurance. I would like to pay off the car and then pay every six months for the car insurance that way I get a better deal on insurance. That would put an extra $520 in my pocket every month to save for a raining day fund.-weshar75

I would say rent, but there isn't gonna be any rent if I win lol. Buying a house cash money.

But definitely my car insurance.

No mortgage, rent or loans here so I'd pay my parent's utility bills. Electricity prices in Australia have shot through the roof in the past couple of years so I'd love to help them out more than I currently am able.

If I won a big Jackpot, I would be happy to get rid of all my one dollar bills.

We have full coverage insurance because the loans said so to get the loan. Plus mom got a ticket. So that is why our insurance is so high.-weshar75

Probably my loan from college, other than that I have been fortunate to have no debt, paid off vehicle (insurance is cheap), etc. I try to stay away from optionals like smartphones and cable TV. I also have very low rent and utility bills so could manage fine with or without a jackpot win.

If I hit the big one, the only thing that would really deter me from staying put would be nosey neighbors.

If the chances of winning the jackpot are so slim, why play when the jackpot is so small? Your chances never change, but the potential payoff does.
If a crystal ball showed you the future of the rest of your life, and in that future you will never win a jackpot, would you still play?
