What would you do with 1 Billion Dollars?

Keep working on Leadership Development Events so that you are ready to do your best at Jackrabbit Invite.

If you have not submitted your BIG Idea – today is the day!


If money fell from Heaven, and you had an EXTRA $1000 each month, what would change in your life?  What would you do with the money?  Invest it? Save for college or tech school? Are there special people that you’d share your new windfall with?  Are there organizations or charities that you would make a donation to?

According to ABC and Fox News – the Mega Million jackpot is estimated to be at 1 billion dollars!  The Powerball prize is over 470 million dollars!

Let’s think a little bigger now.  What if you won the Power Ball or Mega Millions or some other obscenely large lottery prize of untold millions of dollars.  If you had all this extra money, and could donate some to a group or organization, what strings would you tie to it?  For instance, I’ve always said that if I won the lottery a portion of my winnings would go to West Central to guarantee that there would always be an Ag Ed and FFA Program here.  The funds would help students travel to Washington Leadership Conference, National Convention, CDEs, Chapter Exchanges, etc.  I would also donate towards an indoor sports complex for our students.  What would you do if you won the lottery? Would you quit your job? Move somewhere different?  Travel more?  I’m torn on if I’d quit my job or not.  I love what I do, so, I think I might miss you all a bit.  I for sure would not miss worrying about how we’re going to pay for things and struggling to come up with fundraisers all the time!  How do you think people might treat you differently?   In what ways do you think your life would change?
