The question those of us in the media always seem to ask people who have just hit the jackpot is, "What are you going to do with all of that money?"

Quit your job? Buy a new house? Buy a boat? Take a trip around the world?

By lottery standards, Ruby Braswell's million-dollar take in Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle was fairly modest.

When asked today what she would do with her winnings Ruby, who works for a cleaning company, she said she would set up a college fund for her great grandchildren.

Good for you Ruby. What a gift. The cost of college is through the roof these days.

It's difficult to calculate the value of a college education, but most wise people I know agree college gives students more career choices, boosts a young person's self-confidence, helps them think critically and sets a good example for their children.

After taxes, Ruby Braswell's million-dollar take from the Virginia lottery will be $710,000. Using her winnings to help her great grandchildren go to college; Priceless!
