If we’re not talking about Shirley Jackson’s short story, The Lottery, then…

A small amount of that prize money would go to paying off all the debt I and my family owe. Still a lot of money towards debt, but nothing compared to the prize money we’d win. Then would be to buy a house and move out of the apartment we live in now. After that, put some money away for our future kids and for us to relax for the rest of our lives.

Then, we’d take the rest of our winnings — and donate it to causes we want to support.

If this prompt was regarding Shirley Jackson’s story… then it was nice knowing you all!
