Even though I am not old enough to play the lottery and the chances are pretty slim of me ever winning, I would do one thing with any amount of my prize. I would go to China and help the provinces that are less fortunate. Recently someone I know adopted a child from China. He was almost three but could not walk or even hold his head up. This is because where he came from didn’t have room since there were so many children due to parents no being able to care for children. This child didn’t even eat food yet and was still on a bottle with formula in it. If I would ever win I would go and help the less fortunate in China.

If I won the lottery what I would do with the prize is I would buy my dream car—a Jeep Wrangler. Also I would go on a cruise and travel the world. Another thing is I would help homeless people.
Micah Jessee, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I had won the lottery I would make fences for homeless, rescued dogs. The reason why I would di this is when a person sees a poor dog with nothing to eat they would feel bad for it. But if people make fences for dogs where they can get food, water, and all sorts of treats, they would have a good home.

If I won the lottery, I would save some money for my parents so use. I’ll share some of the money with my teachers and friends. I’m not the type to spend all of the money at once. Most of the money will go towards groceries and stuff my parents and I need. How much money each person gets depends on how much I win. I’ll give my friends a good portion of the money because I’m a good friend.
Quinton Chapman, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery I would give my sister one fourth of the money since some stuff is happening right now. Next I would keep another half for my family to go to Mexico to see my family that we never get to see. With the last of the money I would just keep it so that I could buy some stuff for myself.
Sarah Trivett, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
I would share some of it with my mom, my sister, Mrs. Taylor, and my aunt and uncle. The reason I would share the prize with these people is because these people do so much for me and care about me so much. The reason my sister would get some because she is like my best friend. She would never do anything to hurt me.
Savannah Peaks, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery, I would give my mom money because our family is in need. I would buy new phones for the boys. I would treat my family and friends on a vacation. I would give some money to charity. I would also give money to my church for future trips. Now if I am honest, yes, I would keep some money for electronics but I would put some in my college fund.
Sofia Rosberg, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won I would most likely combine money with Mark. But first I would give money to my parents or buy them their dream car, a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS. Then Mark and I would buy a mansion in Los Angeles and buy 7 gaming computers for us and our other members. Then I would take some of my money and give to the homeless. Also, I would buy a 2020 Ford Mustang GT500. I would buy shoes for some kids too and also me too to start a collection.
Trent Gillum, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
I would buy a house and a Corvette C7 and get it wrapped metallic black with a pearlescent red. Then I will give my mom some money. I would get my car fully customized. I would also get a Ford F150 Raptor in blue.
Trent Qualls, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
I would go crazy! I would get a new dirt bike and houses for my family. We would move states—to one of the beaches on the east coast.
Trevor Chapman, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery I would buy a new Lamborghini and a new house and pay off my mom’s student loans. I would save up money to go to college and get my dad a new truck.
Zander Nelson, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
If I won the lottery I would give my mom the money to buy a new house. Then I would buy all the food I want. I would also put money up for my brother and I to go to college and after that I would let my mom do whatever she wanted with the money after we went on a week-long vacation to Bora Bora. I would bring my family and two of my friends.
Zoey Emmert, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
I would donate half to charity and the other half I would share it with my friends and family. I would also give some of it to my teachers, especially Mrs. Taylor. And that’s what I would do if I won the lottery.
