If fortune dropped $35 million in your lap, how would you spend it?
That's what three Maryland public educators are currently pondering. They will share the $105 million awarded to one of the three jackpot-winning tickets to the Mega Millions lottery, according to the Chicago Tribune.
One of the winners said she will go backpacking through Europe with her brother, another plans to take a tour of Italy's wine country. The third winner plans on paying off his daughter's college tuition and buying his sister a house.

I'm with the first woman. I would head for Europe, then see the rest of the world soon after.

First thing I would do is pay off my brothers' grad school loans and my parents' mortgage. Then I would set up a foundation to fund all the causes that get neglected. Then I would fly to Paris for a week at the Louis V with dinner at Le Petit Zinc and me-only sessions in the Louvre, the Musee de Pompidou and the Musee D'Orsay. I would then meet my parents in Ireland and spend a month finding all my relatives' birthplaces. Then to England for a tour of my Dad's old haunts. Only then would I hit the jewelry stores!

I'd re-locate, open my business (finally) and enjoy a happy life.
