How To Enter:
In the comments section of this post (and you’re welcome to post your entry on your blog if you wish, but it’s not required as long as you’ve posted it here) finish this statement: “If I had a million dollars…”
Sure, we don’t have a million, but we’ve got quite a bit here to give away! $3,364.33 just in cash and Amazon Gift Certificates (and another couple bucks in non-American money with a bonus NFL Pro Bowl Ballot that we have no idea the monetary value of) to be exact!
So there you have it. Be funny, silly, serious, it doesn’t matter! Just finish that statement in the comments section of this post and you’re entered to win one of the above prizes.
Rules: One entry per person. If you have already won something from one of our other giveaways, you are not eligible to win. Winning one of the prizes listed above will prevent you from being able to win any other prizes for the duration of the giveaway.
Winners are chosen at random using a random number generator. You may not “pick” the prize you want, we will award them in the order that we receive the random winners.
This contest begins at 9am on Friday, October 5, EST (New York, USA) and ends on Saturday, October 6 at 9am EST (Again, New York, USA). We will close comments at that time.
PS: We are about to turn the ProBlogger Birthday Bash into OVERDRIVE! Up til this point we’ve been giving prizes away every 24 hours – but in a few hours we’re going to accelerate the pace a little and the giveaways will start coming every 8 hours (with a few more 24 hour ones thrown in) until the end of the weekend!
Make sure you’re subscribed to our feed now or you’ll miss out!

Fun Contest!
If I had a million dollars, I would put the money into an investment account, quit my job (and DH would quit his too). We would hook up with several Christian missions organizations and start doing serial short term missions–traveling to a country setting up for 6 months-2 years and work on finishing some project for the mission. We would live off the interest and totally support ourselves. If I had a million dollars I would give my life to God. I guess I already have given my life to Him even without the $$$, but it would look a lot different if I had a million dollars.
As the Bare Naked Ladies would say…
If I had a million dollars,
I’d buy you a house
Well, actually the “you” would probably be my wife, but yeah. I’d buy a nice house and a sweet computer system and start blogging from home.

Then I’d take my kids to Alaska to visit my sister and her family. We haven’t had a chance to make the trip up there yet but I’ve always wanted to go.
Then I’d pay off all my bills and my step-dad’s medical bills.
I’d give at least 10% to my two favorite charities, the USO and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
I’d pay someone to help me improve my blog, then I’d invest the rest.
If I had a million dollars I’d not be scrabbling around for a few hundred in this competition!
If I had a million dollars, I would invest half, probably give up my day job and work as needed for free. Then I would spend more time traveling with my family. I would take the remaining half and use it give to others in various ways-gifts, travel, needs and other ways that would bless those people.
If I had a million dollars I’d go to the bank and get it all in one dollar bills, have it hauled to my back yard where I’d strip off all my clothes and roll around in the pile, giggling insanely while Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing” blasted from the stereo speakers. :0)
If I had a million dollars…I’d go on every reality show that offers a $1 million prize. Go on enough, and the odds have got to favor me to win another cool million.
Oh yeah, and then I’d buy an Olive Garden. Or NBC if I got up to $4 million ;-).
If I had a million dollars I would put 80 to 90 percent away in Index Funds or some investment that would give me a steady and safe return. This is ideal, but most likely I would blow it on a trip to the moon or something else ridiculous like that.
If I had a million dollars… I would be HAPPY!

If I had a million dollars… I would probably quit my job and invest myself full time into blogging. It’s what I love to do the most after all. I’d probably donate quite a few dollars to charity and friends, and keep the rest for myself ;)

1. 1/4 to pay off all my bills.
2. 1/4 to take care of my parents and wife parents
3. 1/4 to invest for a retirement.
4. 1/4 for my son’s education.
The remainder (based off of 1 & 2) would be travel and charity money.

Barenaked Ladies – If I Had A Million Dollars
If I had a Million Dollars… I would use the money this way:
100,000$ to buy land in Europe, just as investment.
300,000$ to buy a house of my dreams in some tiny little village.
50,000$ on an average Jeep car
100,000$ I’d give to mom
30,000$ I’d give to charity, but anonymously
50,000$ I’d invest in promoting my websites, buying domains, etc.
370,000$… on shopping of my liiiiiife!!! :D
“If I had a million dollars…
I’ll
give away some
invest some
spent some :-)”
If I had a million dollars, I would donate a large portion of it to various charities. Then, I would most likely invest the money in stocks and bonds. Eventually, that would be worth quite a bit more and would be a nice lump sum to retire with.
