Two things that would be awesome to get would be a small house and all of Rachael Ray’s cookware.Winning would totally be a dream come true. Thank you for the opportunity.
Might actually make me want to cook!
It would be a total miracle if I won the $1,000,000.00. I could finally give back to the community that has helped me for years. I would love to buy my 2 sons each a house and pay off their vehicles. 2 things I would be thrilled to get is a little house and all new cookware. The prizes, various kitchen items, are awesome. I do love to cook. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity.
I would love to win the kitchen package, I especially like the cookbook. If I would win the prize money I would pay off my daughters school loans, and fix up my home. I have lots of family that could be blessed with help in paying off some debt. Then I would make sure I give to my church, community food bank and set up scholarships for my grandson, nieces and nephews.
I would help my grandson with his college expenses and my daughter replace her junk heap of a car that she has to constantly be getting patched up.
First I would set up a foundation to provide funds for Senior Citizens with pets to help pay for vet care. They shouldn’t have to choose between eating dinner and caring for their beloved pets. Then I would build my dream house on an empty lot I own, with a kitchen to die for.
I would kick back for about two weeks then start cheacking on opening sandwich shop in town
I would so love to win! I haven’t worked in a long time so I would pay off my bills and then buy a house!!
Iwould love to get myself and two children out of debt. I also would like to help my oldest daughter pay for collage classes to become a teacher
I would love to get myself and two children out of debt , it would be great to relieve the weeky stress of trying to pay all these bills. I also would like to help pay the tuition for my daughter to go to collage for teahching.
I would pay off my student loans and save the rest.
I would set up college funds for my grandkids.
If I won a big chunk of money, I would have a new house built. Our old one is slowly falling apart and at some point may not be repairable. After that, the sky is the limit.
i would go completely insane,but in a totally fun way!!
start a business
I would love to do some renovations on the house, starting with the kitchen. I really want an island for the kitchen. And some new furniture for sure. Thanks, you have the best giveaways. Love anything PBO.
I’d payoff my house so my parents could move in and I’d move to Colorado where I’d buy a house with the kitchen of my dreams!
buy real estate
If I won a million dollars the first thing I would do is make dental appointmens for both my sons and myself. We all have really bad teeth and I am even embarassed to smile anymore. Then I would buy a modest home with a big kitchen in a safe neighborhood and maybe retire before I have my 3rd heart attack. I would like a few years of retirement before I die.
I would love to win this prize will be entering next time. I would help the less fortunate than myself.
I would set up college funds for my grandchildren, buy a modest retirement home and donate money to a no-kill, non-profit animal sheleter.
We would buy our own house and a house for both our parents (my husband’s and mine)! The left will go to savings!
After 50% goes to the government… I would give 10% to the less fortunate, pay off my school bills, loan out a couple of thousand to some relatives and invest the rest
I would definitely pay off my bills; help out family members, a few close friends and tithe an extra amount to my church. The remainder I would invest so I can enjoy a comfortable retirement doing volunteer work instead of having to work for the rest of my life.
If I were to win the contest, I would first buy mixers, bowls, pans, and cake supplies. I took some cake decorating classes with my mother and LOVED doing it, but I’m on a fixed income with two kids and just never have extra to buy things I need. Baking has always been my passion I LOVE so I would finally buy everything I would need to do it. I would also buy everything my kids have EVER wanted! lol It would be better than any Christmas they had ever experienced!
I would buy a van so that we could finally have reliable transportation. Furniture for our home, dinning room table and chairs, and new beds for my kids and I. Lastly, I would bless others in every way possible whether it be buying a homeless man a month’s stay at a hotel, clothes for the kids in need at my church, or a spa treatment for a hard working single mom. I would do it all however anonymously, so that God would receive all the glory, not me.
I would use the money to redo my kitchen since it’s tiny. I love to bake, but don’t have enough room.
Things are extremely tight at our house at this time, so I would use the money to pay bills. I would like to fantasize about using it to build my new outdoor kitchen which is on our wish list. My husband plans on doing all the work himself but you still need money to make it happen. Luv the cookbook and other goodies.
If I won I would buy my mom a house and bring her back to California from Texas then I would buy my wife and I a house next door, this way my children can see their grandma everyday. I would also buy a family restaurant and save money for my kids college. There are many other things I can think of, but this would put my mind at ease. “We love you mom!”
Buy a piece of land, build a log home on it, get a new car, help my family out.
I would take my children on a vacation they have never had and put money towards their future education.
I would tithe and use the rest to pay off debt and mortgages and go on a dream vacation!
I would buy a bigger house. Then I’d probably need someone to clean it.
I would pay my house off and remodel it. Yeah!
OMG…I will pay our debts, will buy a new car because mine is giving me a little bit of problems lately, I will share it with my mother and my brother wich are always with us, helping us at all times, for my husband my mom is like his own, she is our savior at all times, if we need her to be with our kids she will appear in a flash without asking, and of course I will save some for my kids education, wow it will be a dream come true!!!!
Pay off debts,some charities and help my children and grandchildern with their finances
If I won I would pay off bills first then I would give some to my family and donate to a couple of my favorit charities.
I would love this package. Love new cookie recipes,
I would breathe a little easier! we are a young family with another snot on the way. I cook and bake constantly, so i would, of course, REQUIRE my kitchen to be updated…just the way I want it! (that would leave a lot left over for the hubby to buy himself a bigger TV as well, since thats his “spot” lol)
I would open a shop-n-nosh w/my 4 older sisters.
If I were the next Pillsbury Bake-Off $1,000,000.00 winner, the first thing I would do is give 10% to the church. The second thing I would do is donate to the San Diego Food Bank AND Feeding America. The third thing I would do is set some aside towards my down payment on my first home. The fourth thing I would do is put a portion into opening a bakery. Lastly, if there is any left, it would go into a savings account. Since the winnings are paid in an annuity, the first 2 items on my list would be done annually when I receive my check.
The prize package is great! It would be fun to bake with the items in the package!
I would need to think about it, I would love to expand my kitchen to make more room for my son and me to cook, bake, concoct. If any is left over then put away for a college education for my son! Great ideas!!!! xoxo
I would spend the money redecorating my kitchen with great appliances to cook and bake for my family and friends.
I would divide my winnings with all my family to make life a little easier on them during these tough economical times
If I was the next Pillsbury Bake-Off winner first I would pay of my college loans. I would then out enough away to pay for law school so neither I nor my parents need to go into debt for it. I would then put some in an account to live on while finishing school, I would donate some to my favorite charities and finally whatever is left of that I would invest for the future.
Pay all my debt finished and buy a car and a house.
I would find a way to retire so my husband and I could move to our dream state. I’d also help my daughter get established after her internship, and endow an scholarship for ladies struggling to pay for college expenses. I would also consider opening a new bakery where my husband and I retire – kind of a coffee shop/bakery combination.
I would quit my job and start my own cafe which has been my dream my whole life and help my community and enjoy life!
If I won the Pillsbury Bake Off, I would redo my kitchen and help my son get established in NYC. He is a really good chef and wants to work in the city with the best.
I would not get a chance to enjoy it. Would have a heart attack, because I have never won anything in my life.
My husband and I would be able to retire from the cold north and spend time with our 6 grandchildren, none of whom have ever lived near us!! Georgia, Texas and China – here we come!
TRAVEL, entertain friends and share the joy of winning! Bon Appetit, Y’all
What would I do with $1 million???? Of course, help out my family, but I’ve always wanted to do something to help animals….so, I guess I would try to open a no-kill animal shelter…….now THAT would make me very happy!!!!
$1,000,000….Not only give the majority to local organizations, I could start a dream of my own. To operate a not-for-profit cooking workshop/classes/and summer fun for youth! Kids just love to cook and are little sponges in their learning adventures! Still lovin’ that apron!
First thing I would do if I won that big prize is hire a financial person!
I would do some renovations to my house, starting with my kitchen. What a nice giveaway.
Wow! How wonderful it would be. I’d love to get a handicaped equiped house built with a kitchen I could cook in. A dishwasher would be neat. The rest would go for a handicaped van. Don’t want much do I?
pay off my Mom’s bills and get a new truck
I would open a school and bring all the best pastry chefs to teach pastry enthusiasts who have passion,love and talent and can not afford them selves to pay good (and mostly very expensive) schools. There are so many talents and my pastry soul would be fed only by knowing that I gave just a little bit to help some of them..
if God willing,i will use that money to put up small business and to help charity works and livelihood program…
If I won the $1000 prize, I would buy my daughter a much needed Kitchaide mixer and
then spruce up my kitchen with the rest! That would be so much fun! Love the recipes that

our local schools have been devastated by cutbacks and esp. the school meal programs!! our school monies are based on state taxes on housing sales, which fla. is among the worst in sales!! i do not need that money myself, but the kids do and i would like to set up a self-perpetuating trust that will make sure NO CHILD GOES HUNGRY!! john h.
I’m a 68 y/o grandma. As far back as I can remember the Bakeoff has taken place with a big winner. How many other institutions have a track record like that? And, yes, I often dreamed about winning the big prize.
If I won the money I would buy a John Boos maple top kitchen work/prep table…
RETIRE!

RELAX!! ^_^
If I won the Bake off, I would help my housemate pay off her debts and my debts, then upgrade her kitchen. Go on a vacation to a place where food is so well mixed and try as many dishes as I could. Then I would cook up a storm with all the recipes I could not afford to cook before. Prime Rib, Steak and even try a goose.
I was entry #25, everything is the same…..dr bills dr bills, dr bills. My daughter has started college and I’m so very proud of her I would love to help her with college tuition. My son had a motorcylce wreck and he has dr bills now, my husband broke his hand RIGHT/WRITE hand. And my 6 surgerys looks like theres gonna be another one soon. But I would love to have the money to help myself along with my family and church. It would be deeply appreciated for myself and alot of others. And I would thank y’all till the end of time but most of all I would thank GOD the one that makes miracles happen!!!!!!!
I was entry #25 things with myself hasn’t changes surgries, dr bills…etc. But my husband broke his RIGHT/WRITE hand, my son had a motorcycle wreck, and both have dr bills now and my daughter started college. I’m so proud of her I would love to pay her college fees. I still want to thank GOD first cause he would be the miracle maker, then I would sooooo deeply thank y’all. So what would I do with it….Have another needed surgery (7th surgery) pay my bills, my sons, my daughters , help my parents and other family that is in need of it and my church. Thank you for giving me a chance to tell you what I would love to do with allllll that money. Oh and by the way more money than I could ever dream of winning!

I would by more ingredients, of course!

I would help my husband in fighting cancer, and I would open a daycare for under priviledge children.
Love to bake and send treats to my son, who I don’t get to see enough.
If I won the bake-off…I would want a placque made to hang in my new bakery shop. I’d donate to the church, pay off the house & redesign the kitchen.
Car, bills, some awsome pots & pans.
I would pay off my Granddaughters school loans, then I would have a walk-in bath tub and handicapped toilet installed. After paying off some hospital and Dr bills, I would do something crazy, like going to Vagas, or taking a cruise, some me time!!!
redecorate my very outdated kitchen so i could cook more Pillsbury Recipes… the best evah!!!!
I would love to make smoothie and other healthy drinks.
Maybe I can have a family gathering and cook from this everything book.
I would complete the kids college funds.
I would redo my kitchen and put in commerical appliances because I love to cook.
First of all, give a heart-felf thanks to the Lord and to the donors of this gifting. It is a given that we would pay off the church’s loan for Harmony House (a home for women who have come out of dysfunctional situations). Carefully consider investments that involve land, give a percentage to all three of our grown children, and then what is left we would pay off encumbrances, perhaps (since we are seniors) take a much needed cruise. The mind wanders with all the possibilities.
It would definitely help pay for college for both of my girls,as well as, my current school loans.
First my husband of 35 years and i would finally take our honeymoon that we never had but now we would be taking our kids and grandkids. Then i would have to buy a house and stash some back for retirement before my husband gave the rest away helping everyone.
Be debt free, tithe, buy a new home, vacation home in the mountains, have a kitchen of my dreams, get massages and just enjoy life.
Set up trust funds for my kids and maybe keep a little for myself, would be nice to win.
That amount is so much and a dream on the horizon. First thing would be to set up a trust for a disabled grandchild. 2nd – well that would be to pay off mounting bills. But of course, who doesn’t have that in these harder times. Then – I would start my own business which I have been trying to do and would have no excuse left! Gosh, maybe I should consider entering the next cookoff myself – who knows, the dream could become a reality!
Would take care of my husband for a change. He’s been my care giver for awhile noe. Such a wonderful man.
Take a trip to Savanna Georgia…
Pay off our debt even the house, send my kids to college & take a nice beach vacation
I would purchase 2 modest homes that are accessible. One for my daughter and son in-law’s family with my grandson who has Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, and one for my family as I have mobility issues and so does my 89 year-old father.
I would set up trust funds for my 4 grandchildren to help with college expenses or other education. I would anonymously donate to my church’s food pantry and church’s building fund as well as that of our local Christian school.
I would pay off my student loans, my kids student loans and buy a new house!
I could not even imagine winning this kind of money but if I did , I would pay for my sons school, he wants to become a doctor and is in his third year of school but we are financially struggling due to alot of tragedies we have been through. In his short 21 years on this earth he has watched his dad pass away with a very rear cancer that we struggled with for two years and then two years later his older brother that was like his dad and his absolute best friend took his own life and my son was the only one there to handle it… Michael was only 23. I was out of town on business with a new job that I had just got. Needless to say after the funeral, my boss let me go because of all this, he felt I would not be able to perform my work 100% … We have been through so much more that can not even begin to put on paper in the last five years. I just want to be able to put my son through school without him worrying about the money. He is so gifted academically and works with kids and elders, I am so proud of him for staying so strong throughout this…when I grow up I want to be just like him!!! He deserves to have less stress in his life, all he worries about is the money , his loans, working to pay for school, and mostly his grades, ( which are very good) He is avery caring and compassionate person. I wish I as a mom could make things better for him and take all his pain away, I just try and be as strong as I can…thats all I can do. By the way, I also take care of a child that has autism and would love to help her and her mom with some of their struggles. I would also give money to a animal rescue, I rescued my dog there and they really are a very compasionate shelter with alot of good people that do things out of the good of their hearts.. There are alot of angels on this earth..just have to open your eyes to them.
I WOULD PAY ALL MY BILLS,HELP MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND HELP AND DONATE TO THE CHARITIES OF MY CHOICE AND ESPECIALLY MAKE A SPECIFIC REQUEST FOR MY CHURCH IN MEMORY OF SOMEONE WHO CAN NEVER BE REPLACED IN MY HEART.
I would take our children with us on a cruise to celebrate our 61st wedding anniversary and not worry that we are spending too much money.
What I would love to do If I won $1,000,000. I would love to get children involved in cooking and start my own business and offer cooking classes for children and have the children. Explore and be creative with food and make a book with recipes of their creations.
I love to cook and this would be great
If I won this prize, I would quit my job and open my own bakery and teach baking and cake decorating lessons in my community.
