What Would I Do If I Won the Lottery?
Last week, with the Powerball winner claiming the grand prize of $730 million and the Mega Millions at $1 billion, it got me thinking – what would I do if I won the lottery that much? Doesn’t everyone wonder that every once in a while? What would I do first with the money? I know my wife wants a new backsplash in the kitchen, so I supposed we could get that done. Or buy the forever home. Should I claim the lump sum or the 30-year payout? Do I tell my friends and family? Do I tell my wife? (Just kidding….sort of). How do I ensure I don’t go bankrupt like a lot of lottery winners? It all starts with putting together a plan. Here are some initial thoughts on how I would react and what I would do.
