Many of you know about the amazing luck I had last August when I scratched a million dollar winning ticket.
It is now eight months later and since all of you were so supportive I figured I should share what we did to improve our lives.
We bought a small but beautiful home on 3.5 acres.
We added the wagon wheels and bench.
The property is completely flat and fenced off into two one acre pastures using barbed wire and electric fence plus our 1.5 acre yard. Most of it is rural highway frontage and there is a horse ranch across the road.
We have a 34'x56' insulated pole barn with two horse stables.
A Cub Cadet ZTR with 50" deck.
We purchased a 2021 Winnebago 23' toy-hauler and a 2020 Ford F-150 twin-turbo Ecoboost with a 36 gallon fuel tank. A beast that will pull 11,100lbs.
We also have a nice chunk of change for retirement and we each have fully funded Roth IRA accounts.
And then just last month my bride of less than two years was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer that has spread to her brain. She had a major seizure last Saturday and nearly died in my arms from choking on blood. She spent six days in the ICU intubated and in an induced coma.
I would give it all up and move back into that run-down mobile home if it could make her healthy again.
