Homeless Couple From Green Bay Win All Expense Trip To Super Bowl

A reader, Karen, tipped me off to this and I find it fascinating as a "what would you do" question.
From Fox 11 Green Bay: Residents of St. John's homeless shelter in Green Bay, Ouida Wright and her boyfriend Aaron say they never would've imagined winning a trip to Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.
The couple won two tickets to the game, hotel accomodations and travel expenses from the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau. The DCV put on a contest where participants had to log on to its Facebook page to find a secret phrase. The phrase was, "Have you been to Dallas lately?" The DCV sent what they called a "mystery man" to walk around the streets of Green Bay. The first person to utter the secret phrase to him would win the Super Bowl package.

So, a homeless couple win a trip of a lifetime that is worth thousands of dollars. Do you take the trip, something you probably will never be able to do again in your lifetime, or sell the package and get a fresh start on life?
My lovely wife Cathy said she would take the trip of a lifetime and I said I would sell the package and get a fresh start on life. It's not an easy answer. Then take into account you live in Green Bay where cheering for the Packers is in your DNA.
So, what would you do?
