Five Minnesota Things to Splurge On With Mega Millions

1. A house on the lake.

Home prices jump up significantly if they're anywhere near a lake, especially if they have direct lake access. Wouldn't it be so nice if you could enjoy lake life without worrying about the price tag? 

2. Quitting your job just so you don't have to deal with 35W closures.

Oh gosh don't we all wish this was affordable? But, I work hard to make a good life for my chihuahua, so...

3. Any clothes at Nordstrom at MOA.

Checking out the price tags on clothes in Nordstrom at MOA is one of my pastimes. There was an Italian bomber jacket with fox fur around the neck I saw there this weekend, and the price was about $2,500. Ridiculous! I'd love to be able to throw my money away on crap like that. 

Also, snow boots and all winter gear is freakin' EXPENSIVE! We need to spend an arm and a leg just to stay warm here. 

4. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks every single day at the Minnesota State Fair for the rest of your life.

Let's face it, fair food ain't cheap. 

5. Prince memorabilia.

I'm sure a majority of the Prince Estate's most coveted belongings will never be up for sale, but I'm sure you could purchase some pretty cool stuff with Mega Millions level money.
