But it would be very frightening to suddenly have that much money, I think.

I, too, would establish a foundation (the Isadore and Maria Foundation) to get 'average' kids educated, or at least trained in a Community College.

Isadore and Maria are the patron saints of farmers and farmwives respectively.

I've given this a lot of thought, and may form a foundation whether I win the Lottery or not.

How interesting! I always wanted to establish the Bobby Tomato agricultural scholarships in honor of my dad (who grew tomatoes and a lot of people gave him that as a nickname).

I also want to help kids get started in something they love, whether college, trade school, starting a business, whatever. So many of them seem lost these days, and it seems such a waste that these kids end up working part-time at malls and never really get a chance.

I also would like to get kids really interested in politics...not to run for office but just to understand the significance of what's happening.

And of course I would have a St. Fiacre Gardening Foundation!
