What Would You Do If You Won the Lottery
What would you do if you won $500,000?

If you won $500,000 in the lottery, what would you spend it on? There are a lot of different ways that people would choose to spend this money. Some people would choose to spend it on themselves, others would choose to give it all away to charity. The way I would spend it would be a mixture of the two. (67) First, I would take $250,000 and put it in the bank. If it is in the bank for a while, it will draw around four to five thousand dollars in interest a year. So after about ten years, it will grow to around $300,000. That way, I will never have to worry about not having money or struggling from paycheck to paycheck. (72) After I put half of it in the bank, I would give $50,000 to a charity. I believe that if I was given the opportunity to have a big sum of money given to me, I would love to give some of that away to people that truly need it. There are millions of needy people that have no money, no house to live in, and no food to eat. By giving them some extra money, they will be able to afford the things that other people take for granted. It would make me feel like a better person if I gave my money away to people that truly need some help. (112) I would take $100,000 and give it to my parents. They deserve the money since they always provided me with things I wanted, even if that meant they had to go without. If I gave them that money, they would not have to worry about struggling to pay bills or not having money to buy food. My parents are very generous people. When I would have friends over, my mom would give her food away so that my friends can have something to eat. She was always giving and never asked for anything in return. (95) With the remaining $100,000, I would go crazy with it. I would go buy a new car, buy some stock in a big company, and just buy whatever I feel like buying. After all, I did win the money and its my money to spend how I want to spend it. I should be able to

    There are a lot of lottery success stories, many families that have won the lottery and been able to handle it. People that were able to open their own business with their lotto money and that have done very well. Then there are the people who were wise enough to not let their big win change the way they live their lives. I read about one women who gave money to her children, then she paid off her mortgage, put money to the side to cover all her monthly bills and put the rest of the money in savings.
