If I won the lottery I would be so excited I would probably freak out. If I won the lottery I would try to be as responsible as I possibly could. I would also be smart with my winnings so I would not blow it on useless things.
The first thing that I would do would be to give some of the money I won to may parents so they could pay off some bill and cars. The next thing that I would do is pay off the student loan that I had to take out so I could attend A&M San Antonio for a year. I would try and help my oldest brother with money and I would give my other older brother some money to help pay off his college loans. Since there are seven kids in my family I would also give my parents money to put towards my two youngest brothers college education.
Instead of spending money on an apartment I would stay living in my parents home if or at least while I was still in school and I was still in my early twenty's. If I was already out of school or older that's when I would use some money to get a nice but reasonably priced apartment. I would also keep the car I currently have until the time came that I actually needed a new one.
Something else that I would do is donate money to the Samaritan's Purse organizations and donate shoe box gifts to the Operation Christmas Child Program. Operation Christmas Child is a program from Samaritan's Purse where you fill up shoe boxes or plastic containers with school supplies, toys, candy, books, and other items to get sent all over the world. Samaritan's Purse is one of my favorite organizations so I would also give money to their World Medical Mission, their Children's Heart Project, and their Food and Water fund. I love to read and think that it is something very important for children so I would either donate money to school library's or buy books and donate them to schools.
Other than doing those things I would not spend my money on useless or pricey things that I did not need. Something else I think I would do is put some money in investments. I would also put some money away to start college funds for my future children as well as putting some money away for retirement. I would put half of what was left of my money in a checking account and the other half in a savings account and start building on both.

Hey Like the things you would do if you won the lotto your very sharing and helpful to other people, but I would also have done the same thing nice blog :)
ReplyDeleteNice blog!! Your generosity is sweet. I believe many of us would be privileged to win a large amount of money, but think it is even better to use it for a good cause. It would be a humbling experience. Great Job!!
