Recently, a jackpot-winning lottery ticket of 1.5 billion dollars was sold in South Carolina. With all of the discussion about the lottery, many people have been thinking about what they would do if they won. While anyone above 18 has the opportunity to win the jackpot, college kids may spend their winnings differently.

Most would think that students would be reasonable with their winnings but in reality, there are bound to be some semi-irresponsible purchases made.

Whether you would be responsible with your life changing earnings or not, here are six things a Carolina student would do if they won the lottery.

1. Pay off student loans.

College tuition is one of the main reasons people are in debt. You can use your earnings to pay off the rest of your schooling and the student loans that you've already taken out.

2. Buy season passes to the frat lots.

Giphy

You will no longer have to get on the dreaded frat lot website and fight to buy a wristband for every single home game. With a season pass, you can bring a plus one and even get in a shorter line so you can tailgate as long as your heart desires.

3. Save it!

Giphy

Saving huge amounts of money in the bank will result in large amounts of interest. If you save some of your money, you'll eventually accumulate even more money, so it's a win-win situation.

4. Buy everyone drinks at a 5-points bar.

Going out to bars will never be the same after winning the lottery. You can offer to buy drinks for everyone, which will gain you more popularity than any girl/guy on an elevated surface.

5. Buy a house and car!

Giphy

After college, a house and car are some of the biggest purchases you will make. Having the ability to pay for these in full is a huge benefit. You could also help your parents out with their house and car payments, too.

6. Buy a reserved parking spot!

Giphy

After winning this amount of money, I'm sure you can get with parking services and find a way to get a reserved parking spot. This is a USC student's dream, no more parking tickets, getting towed, or spending hours to find a spot at a meter/garage.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
