Question of the Week?

July 28, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

What would you do if you won $8.8 million?

FayGreen

Fay Green, Forbes North Public School: I would pay off all my debt, set my children up and move to Cooktown in Queesland. We have just bought a property there for the fishing lifestyle. We’d be able to fish for the rest of our lives!

JanelleJackson

Janelle Jackson, KMWL: I’d retire, share some money with my family and friends and go on holiday to Canada to see my family living there.

LorraineAllen

Lorraine Allen, Taxi Driver: The first thing I’d do is to help two of my children who have mortgages to pay it off, and I’d buy a house for my third child who does not own a home at the moment. I wouldn’t have to work again – I’ve been working since I was 16. I have a caravan and I would tour all around Australia. It is the best country in the world!
