News that a winning lottery ticket worth $70 million was sold at a local pharmacy has got folks dreaming about what they'd do with that big pay out.

Hearing the news that the winning $70 million Powerball ticket from Wednesday night's drawing was purchased at the , we could practically smell the ticket it was so close to home.

Alas, it belongs to someone else, but that doesn't stop us from dreaming, just for a minute, about what we'd do with all that dough.

I think I would have to do what my grandma says - save a little, share a little and spend a little. Bye, bye student loans and hello vacation!

Chelsea, your grandma gives some good advice! I'd keep my job, because I love it, and say adios to four (4!!!) children's college tuitions and my big, fat mortgage. Hello a good night's sleep!

I would donate Lights, Turf, Bathroom and a new snackbar to Red Bank Regional and maybe throw in a new weight room too!

Move out of the state where taxes are lower, letting me keep more of my winnings in the long run. Then I could enjoy my life and still leave enough for my children without worrying about the high inheritance taxes too. I wish I didn't have to say this - I like NJ.

Send quite a bit over to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Get a good lawyer, change my name, find out how to get the prize without ANYONE knowing about it. Don't need a monstrous increase in "friends" and "relatives."

Set up a foundation and give it all away forever!!! There would be a LOT of happy people if I won. But take heart, I plan on winning tonight's Mega Million for $290 Million. Even MORE happy people!!!!

I had my car repaired at Collex and they were a fantastic collision company to deal with. They wereRead More understanding, professional and after the work you could not tell the car was ever damaged. I highly recommend them. PR
