Travel Dreams: If I Won The Lottery.... Print


All the recent hoopla about the biggest Mega Millions lottery payout of more than $600 millions poses a question. We asked our readers how winning millions would give them dream-of-a-lifetime travels. Here are some answers:

Juan L, Pasadena CA: I’d take 20 family members on an around-the-world cruise. From our stateroom balconies, we’d enjoy the ocean scenery as we dine on great foods and drink the best wines.

Stan R, Brooklyn NY: I’d invite ten friends and their spouses on a charter flight to Las Vegas. We’d stay in penthouse suites, go to all the shows, gamble with $1,000 bills and hit all the late night clubs.

Jeanne A, Dallas TX: I’m not a religious gal, but I’d use some of the money to go to some inner-city churches and sign up every kid there. I’d take them for a one-week all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World. Then, at least once a year, I’d arrange the same trip for a group of kids from other churches and city social groups.

Marie P, Scottsdale AZ: I just retired to one of the most beautiful vacation spots in the world, and I'm on a permanent vacation. So I’d give some of my lottery winnings to my children, grandkids, friends and former co-workers so they could come to my new home state. I’d arrange for them to visit Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Sedona and other areas of the great U.S. Southwest.
