Winning the Lottery - 01-16-2011, 11:53 AM

I am sure many of us dream about winning the lottery. I do too.

I think if I won the lottery I would like to have enough to help my family out.

Not sure what I would do with the rest of it.

We can give a lot to charity-- Overseas or otherwise.

take my chance to travel to Japan and other places of interest.

I wonder how many lottery winners actually do the things they had previously dreamed of doing.


What do you think you would do if you did win a large amount of money?

I'm hoping I wouldn't get another heart attack....

But if I did win a lot of money, I would spend a good amount of time traveling in Japan, even if it were 90 days at a time.

I would ensure my family and friends were cared for. I would make sure I had enough for myself to live comfortably for the rest of my days. With the rest, I would sponsor many kids around the world and spread the wealth to those less fortunate....

If I were to survive the initial shock of winning, that is!!!

Well I'd try and move somewhere different because I've heard all those stories of people getting harrased by charities when they win the lottery....

Then I'd travel the world. Without a doubt, I'd travel the world straight away. Maybe get some places in some different contries.

Then, of course, I'd make sure my family are financially set up for a long time.

I'd travel a lot. Probably take a 3 months' long trip vacation somewhere once a year or so.

I wouldn't quit my job though. It'd be nice to work knowing I don't have to worry about getting through the month. I don't do lottery though, so not a chance for me winning it really, that means yours is higher, hey!


everything is relative and contradictory ~
