The pub H and I frequent recently began holding a raffle every Thursday night. People enter all week. Then at some point on Thursday nights from 7:00 - 9:00, a name is drawn. (Genuis strategy to get people in there on Thursdays, by the way.) If the person's name is drawn and they're not there, they can't collect and the pot grows by $125.
Next week's pot is worth $500.
If I won the $500, I would pay the DWP, the Gas Company, Direct TV and my cell phone bill. Boring? Yep. Helpful? YES.
If you won the $500, what would you do with it?

Pay down my Amex...
ReplyDeleteBuy some concert tix, put the rest in savings.
ReplyDeleteNo contest, I'd hop on Amazon and buy the newest Kindle because it's thinner, lighter and holds bukko more books! Wow, would I be a happy camper!
ReplyDeleteHope your name is drawn and you can pay off those bills... smart girl.
I would buy my plane ticket to LA for July and then pay whatever utility bill the balance would cover.
ReplyDeleteSave it for my hopefully-this-year new kitchen!
ReplyDeleteStella would get a week of summer camp and AJ would get swim lessons. Believe it or not, it would be gone.
ReplyDeleteA new camera has been on my wish list for a while. Either that or blow it on a family weekend somewhere nearby.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to fly to OK for a book festival this summer, which should be about the time one of my books is due to come out. At least I think that's what I'd do with it.
ReplyDeleteProbably send it to the credit card.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need some vacation right now, so I would pack my bags and go to Puncak, Indonesia, with my family. It is a place with fresh air and wonderful views. Nice and relaxing (in our opinion). As a matter of fact, we are going tomorrow. So this would be some good extra cash.
