What would you fear most if you won the lottery?Every once in a while, we stop and watch the show 'The Lottery Changed My Life' (or whatever it is called). We talk about what we could and would do when they highlight the people that win the multimillion dollar jackpots. It starts out with good intentions. Paying of credit cards, student loans, investing for the future. Donate to organizations we care about. Then the question comes up as to what would happen after that. Because we don't have enough debt to cover as much as some of these people win. Would we continue to work? I think so. I couldn't handle not doing anything for the rest of my life. Granted, some vacation time would happen first. And we sure as hell wouldn't work full time. You know, work twenty hours a week at a low stress job. Maybe volunteer some time at a museum. Then the question comes up as to where would we live? Would we stay in Minnesota? Move back home to Michigan? I suggest living out in the middle of nowhere, but that idea gets shot down every time.
That is all well and good, and actual things to consider, but what about the downside to coming into
Being robbed is obviously something to fear if you ever to win the lottery. But something more so is people wanting to take advantage of you. Winning the lottery isn't something that happens every day. People would take notice. You can only control so much. Don't throw out many flags and you might possibly avoid some of these situations. But most likely you won't in which case you can deal with them. No one forced you to play the lottery. You have to deal with the consequences.
