Yes it would change, my husband could quit his job and stop working his tail off. Then we could open up our dream business and travel a bit more.

AND ADOPT!!!!!!!!!! We could afford to adopt some children.

I'm single but there is someone that I have known since the 80s. He lives back in my hometown, the town I was very glad to leave in my rear view mirror. He owns his own business that keeps him in that area.

If I won the lottery maybe I could pry him from Texas to our own private island.

winning the lottery can be good for a relationship as long as both do not give into temptation. Depending on your age you can easily spend all of the lottery winnings before you reach retirement age. Plan ahead and discuss with your spouse what you really want with the money and can you retire with this dollar amount after you've spent on things you need and want. In my family we'll divide the money three ways. My parents get 1/3, my sister's family gets 1/3, and my wife and I get 1/3. We plan on buying a four bedroom 2 bath home. Two of the bedrooms have to be connecting so that her 83 year old father can use one as a bedroom and one as his personal living room. The third bedroom would be a classic English study/den for myself. My wife would get all of the rest of the house,...she'll let me pick out the electronics. I'll have a landscaper come an do the back yard for hummingbirds and butterflies by planting the flowers that attracts them. She loves hummingbirds and butterflies. We'll get the cars of our choice; highway cruiser for her and small fun car for myself. I'll keep working because if I quit, her medical bills will dry up our winnings. I would be able to afford to take a lowering paying (less stressful) job so I could spend more time with her and her dad. We'll discuss with our bank options on what to do with the rest of the money so that we could live off the interest and leave the principal for our retirement. Oh, and I do plan on taking her to some of the countries I visited while in the Navy if her medical condition doesn't get worse.

Not sure if it would change our relationship or not. I'm not sure if the hubby would be jealous over the cabana boy or not???

If I won the lottery It definitely would help me to find a relationship. I'd move from this dump and find a real gay mecca where I can frolic down the streets in hot pants and a tight shirt without being assaulted.

Lol!

For me, since my exboyfriend and I have decided to take a "break"... I'm sure he'd be calling me a mite sooner than expected!
