After over coming the jealousy(I really need to have betted first)of those country folks hitting the big jackpot lottery. I wondered what their first year would be like. I'd watch that reality show. Would it be like the Clampetts? Would they share the wealth with family or area organizations that have helped them through the years? Just questions I wonder about.
I think I would share with my parents and siblings. Buy land where I would build each of us a house. And then possibly share some money with other close relatives. Next I was thinking I would give money to the Boys Club of Toledo and other agencies that have helped my family through the years. Give back and share the wealth. Lastly, I would think I'd invest and try to live good. But then again gluttony could over take and I'd be penniless in six months.
What do you think? Would you watch? How would you spend it?
Well, you're better 'n me ToledoLatina. Havn't over come the jealousy part yet. A lot of people, winners and those like me who aspire to win, say "It wont change me". Well I'm here to tell ya folks if I won I WILL change! Overnight. Absolutely and unequivocally. Hire a good tax accountant and a good estate planner, unlist the phone number and take a looooooong vacation somewhere warm. The rest would work itself out.
