Texas. I've fallen in love w/ the State: Great cost of living, virtually no snow or ice, laid back, wide selection of restaurants and activities, mechanical bulls, Southern hospitality, Southern men...What else is there to life?!

I would stay in the same place I am right now. Been around the Country and this is where we chose to move to, and raise our kids. The only thing I would change: I would trade in the old truck and get a bigger, newer one. That, and pay off every single balance we have.

I'd stay put, but have a vacation home in my birth state of NC.

I'd live in the Stamford area of Connecticut. It's a small state where you're a day trip away from NYC, Boston, RI, VT, NJ, eastern PA, excellent public schools, nice culture, and four distinct seasons.

I think I'd bank it for a couple years and take that time to explore.....

Big cities and overcrowded beaches don't interest me so I can skip them.....when do I get my check?

If I won 50 million dollars, I wouldn't move. I might get a bigger house, but I would stay in Indiana.

You'd better rethink that; Detroit is about $300 million in debt.

I don't have a certain state that I'd move to, but I'd certainly move to a snowy place.
