Fortune Smiles on Woman with Major Win at Minnesota Casino

This week has been quite the jackpot bonanza for Minnesotans. Two residents won $50,000 and another person won $1 million on Monday's Powerball drawing. And today, we've learned about a woman who hit it big at a Minnesota casino.

I can't imagine how excited I would be to win a mountain of cash. I'd love the financial freedom that comes with being debt-free, splurge on the things I've always wanted, and plan extravagant vacations.

What would you do if you won a big jackpot?

Now and then, we touch upon this subject on our radio show, especially when the Powerball jackpot climbs to remarkable heights. Most people claim they would handle their winnings responsibly—clearing debts before indulging in fancy vacations or shopping sprees.

According to a survey by GoBankingRates, most Americans say paying off their debts is the first thing they'd do if they won a big lottery jackpot. Other popular responses included sharing the winnings with family and investing for the future.
