After investing about half (after taxes) so my family and I will live quite well for the rest of our lives, I’d set up a philanthropic foundation with the rest. I’d distribute money to both organizations and individuals based on specific needs, whether large or small. I’d especially target people who are working hard to try to better themselves and just need a leg up, with things like scholarships for school and housing subsidies in high-cost areas.

Often said what we will do..rather than what we will not do! Sadly, every person who have won millions..they are broke because they fail to plan well. People say that would be good to others and that might happen; some say they will buy a home, cars, etc., that good to. Here is one thing people fail to realize and understand. Once you start spending, you spend BIG, and you will say..I can afford anything I want. For that short time when you say that…you really start spending and the amount grows so fast until you wonder, how did I do that or how did that happen. When you when that great amount of monies; you fail to realize that when you accept half of the money instead of the whole thing; it becaome a big, big question because you take hald thinking you will not live to get paid over the next 20 years….and, that how you go broke because the half you take spend fast then you can actual control. After that, you think, I should have taken the whole amount beause its been 3 or four year gone by and your half is almost gone which you left the Lottery fatter with your hard earn cash that you did not take. So don’t say what you will do with that great amount of lottery winnings. Just hope you can manage it, and manage it well for the rest of your life!tgdeovd yoforONce

Some of these characters crack me up. They have you so brainwashed about giving up your money. I drove by one church on Campbelton road the other day and the sign read ATM inside.
