Although I'm not eligible to win the grand prize, I can daydream about what I would do with that kind of money.

Like you, I'd pay some bills and maybe put some aside for a rainy day, but if I just wanted to fantasize about spending it on other things, this is what I would probably do with it.

While thinking about how to spend this amount of cash, it occurred to me that I could set a rule for myself like only spending $1,000 at a time, so some of the things on my list will be $1,000 items while some will be closer to the $10,000 limit. Go big or go home, right?

Keep in mind that I'm a simple person with simple pleasures in mind, so I could just fly to Vegas for a weekend and gamble it all, but that sounds like a long weekend, plus a much longer hangover if you know what I mean.
