Maria Seibel and Sylvia Benavibes have decided to travel the world together if either of them won the lottery. "The first place we would go is Italy," said Maria Seibel. "Also I would give some money to Nico, since she sold us the winning ticket."
"I would travel to the Netherlands and visit my dad," said Miriam Wood. "I have only seen him once in 24 years. The rest of the money would go to animal shelters and the local school system."
"If I win I will give plenty of money to my kids, and with the rest, place it into trust funds," said Jim Hubbard. "I could comfortably live out the rest of my life just on the interest that would accumulate from the money every year."
