My husband and I won a small lottery a few years ago for 10k. With taxes we received about 8k. It immediately went to help pay down bills. And we bought a chair. That's it. It didn't even pay all our bills TT

IF we won 500k
Pay off all our student loans - about 130k
Pay off our vehicles - around 25k
Purchase or down payment on a home
And some money will be saved towards an overseas disney trip. (we're bucket listing them: have visited tokyo, florida, and cali so far)
We would also help our parents out with some things they need.
