My friend won the $52 million dollar CA. lottery. Her husband continued to work till he retired. The bought two homes in Santa Barbara, another one in Lompoc, a big ranch in Lompoc and a mansion in VA. where she's from. Now they sold all the homes and have just the one they live in on shoreline drive. Their back yard looks out over the ocean. Anyway, after seeing how crazy they got buying so much, I have decided I would give most of it to people who need it. I would then just spend the rest of my life traveling the world, staying where I want for as long as I want before moving on to another place. I wouldn't want to just stay in one spot anymore.
