If I won the lottery, I would most likely build a huge house in Florida for my friends and I to live in. The house would be ocean front, of course!

Holston Valley Middle
What I would do depends on what it is. If it is money, I would not go and buy a mansion. What I would do if it were money is keep half of it for myself. The other half donate to charity and to helping schools to be built.
Aaron Robertstad, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
I would give some money to the homeless. I would also build a house for my mom and dad. I would also build a tree house for my siblings. I would also give some to my grandmother—her name is Meme. So that is what I would do. Many people would not do this but my family would be happy if I did and so would Jesus, God, and everyone up in heaven.
Aaryanna Cross, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery, I would give one fourth of the winnings to schools and St. Jude’s Charity. I see no use of having that much money without putting it to good use. I would also send all of my 7th grade teachers on a luxurious vacation. Our teachers have done so much for us and they just need a break. Finally, I would buy myself a farm and own a lot of farm animals like chickens. Then with what is left over, I would just put it to my college fund that I will use in the future.
Alex Hamilton, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery, with my prize I would donate half of the money to my robotics team and I would give my papaw some money to get him a new house. I would donate some money to my robotics team so we can have new and better tools, field kits, and different supplies we need like more metals or screws. I would give my papaw some money because his floor in his bathroom is falling in and his ceiling is also and I would want him to be safe. The last bit of money I would have I would buy my sister and me a swimming pool.
Alexus Stewart, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery of $1,000,000 I would give the homeless $100,000. I would also build my vet and church. I would buy a new pool, 4 footballs and 4 basketballs. The last thing I would do is go some places like the Bahamas, Lego Land, Splash Country, etc. that’s what I would do with my lottery prize of $1,000,000.
Anthony Harley, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery what I would do with the prize is buy a big house for my family and buy a new car for my mom. And the reason why I would buy a new house is because the house we have now is kind of small. And I would just do a lot of fun things with my family. If I won the lottery I would take my whole family shopping and out to eat and get my mom new clothes for her for Mother’s Day.
April Odum, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery I would take my family including my meme to Paris. It has always been a dream of mine and my family’s—going to Paris. My meme is in her mid-sixties and has never stopped thinking about going there. Paris is the place of love and adventure consisting of macarons, croissants, and other desserts. Though after taking a trip to Paris seeing all those poodles, my mind will go back to where I see myself in the future. So far there have been great areas to go to college. I would like to keep the rest of the money so that when I’m done with school I can start building my own house. As well as build and design my own vet/shelter for animals. As you can see, my love for animals and my family will show if I win that big money!
Berkley Helbert, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
