I would pay my cousin Christopher’s way through college. (I have 25 first cousins. Christopher’s parents made him work through school but paid for his sister’s education and her wedding.)

I’d buy my mother a house in Woodstock, which she misses, and my father an apartment in New York City, which he misses.

I would send my sister on a year-long tour of the world.

I would force all my friends to do the things they want to but can’t afford.

I would make huge donations to Powell House, the libraries in the towns I’ve lived in, and assorted charities.

For me, a home on each coast (NY and LA), a huge vacation, a vintage car and matching wardrobe, money put away for the baby’s future, and whatever Will wants.

This needs to be a big jackpot.
