If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would do?

If I won the lottery... I'd finally find a balance between work and kids!
Okay, imagine this: I win the lottery today. What’s the first thing I’d do? No, it’s not splurging on a holiday or buying a mansion (although, sure, that sounds nice too). The first thing I’d do is hire help to take the pressure off balancing work and childcare.
Honestly, it's such a struggle trying to juggle both—working from home with a toddler (or even just having them around when you’re trying to focus) is impossible. I feel like I’m always half-trying to work and half-worried about whether they’re getting the attention they need. If I had the freedom to step back and really focus on one thing at a time, I’d be a much better worker and a much better mum.
I’d get a cleaner, a nanny, maybe even a personal assistant (why not dream big?). Then, I’d finally be able to enjoy both my work and my time with my kids without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.
Anyone else daydream about what they’d do with a little extra help or time? What’s your “first thing” if you won the lottery?

And with some savvy investments you might be able to stretch to a bottle of olive oil too

At the risk of sounding smug … I wouldn’t change anything 🤦🏼‍♀️ I live by the ocean, I work for myself in a job that I absolutely love, myself and my DDs are happy and healthy, we have enough of everything.

I’d love to build a rehab where I live, I think addiction - almost always caused by childhood trauma - is one of the saddest things in modern society. I’d set up a women’s charity - gender bias is real and where I live women’s support services are so stretched. I’d be really grateful that I have the opportunity to do really good things. I may do those things without lottery funding 😊

Oh I’d pay for my friend to take her little girl to Lapland to meet Santa. She’s autistic and I know she’d love it 💕
