If You Won The Lottery Would You Be Generous?

 

What would you do if you won 50 Million Dollars in the Lottery? Would winning the 50 Million Dollars change your life for the better or worse? Would you keep the entire 50 Million Dollars Winnings or Donate part to Charity? These are the questions that I believe most people do not answer honestly.

Would You Do Any Of The Things On My List?

 

Imagine you have been slaving working at a fast food restaurant or in any other job that you have absolutely hated but felt you were stuck in because of decisions made over your lifetime that might not have worked out for your best interests.  It just happens that you stop at a store on your way home from work throwing away a few dollars on a lottery ticket that you weren’t even expecting to win but it turns out later to be the big 50 Million Dollar Lottery Ticket plus you don’t have to split the money with anyone because you were the only lucky winner.

 Which of the following listed things would you honestly do after or before collecting your lottery winnings?

1.    Quit my job immediately

2.    Hire a lawyer to protect my interests

3.    Call everyone who has caused me hell in the past and brag

4.    Pay off all bills past and present

5.    Immediately move out of your  neighborhood or city

6.    Change your name and drop contact with all friends and family

7.    Offer to split your winnings between friends, family and yourself

8.    Donate a small percentage to charity

9.    Donate a large percentage to charity

10.  Donate money to fund education

11.  Buy out the owners of my job and fire my boss/supervisor immediately

12.  Purchase a couple cars and go on a large clothing shopping spree

13.  Continue my life as normally as possible without acting rich

14.  None of the things listed above but I’ll secretly let you know what I’d do

Here's What I Would Do With My Lottery Winnings

 

Well, when asking what would you do if you won 50 million dollars in the lottery? I can honestly say that I would enjoy my winnings with my family by doing anything and everything they desire. Although I have given to charity in the past it would not be on the top of my things to do if I won 50 million dollars in the lottery list unless I was really too elderly to enjoy my winnings and didn’t have family to let enjoy the winnings.

Everyone wants to live a life of luxury and while many of us are already living quite well it just might not be well enough. If you say you don’t want a life where you can have anything you want in this world and you can give your family the things that every man wishes they could then you would be lying to yourself because most men work to support their families to at least give them what they can afford that brings a smile.

The sad part when asking me what would you do if you won 50 million dollars in the lottery would be that I would also drop contact with the family or friends that have not always been there in the past to support me or my decisions but have now come out of the shadows to try to claim a piece of my winnings. When you move up a little in society where your pockets are fatter and your lifestyle is quickly becoming a thing of dreams it’s amazing how close the shadow people will try to get to you and if you let them eventually they’ll wipe you out. I’d simply say money doesn’t change the way I feel about you so why are you letting it change the way you feel about me? I don’t need nor do I want you in my corner now so Deuces.

Of course I’d pay off all my bills at the same exact time if I won 50 million dollars in the lottery. I’d love to clear any and all debt even debt before it becomes debt because as many like me would notice, the quicker you pay off a bill the quicker a new bill from somewhere is in your mailbox the next morning.

And move, yes if I won 50 million dollars in the lottery I’d have to pack up my wife and kids to move out of our neighborhood, although not a bad neighborhood if word got around too quick that I had the 50 million dollar lottery ticket like in the bow wow movie it would not be such a good turnout.

What would you do if you won 50 million dollars in the lottery? I am definitely curious to see what the honest people out there could come up with, hope you’ve enjoyed this hub.
