Question

If you won a lottery and had lots of money, what would you do? Most people would start by buying themselves things, such as a new car or a bigger TV. Some people even decide to move a bigger house.

Many people who win lots of money may find that they have a lot of friends. The new friends they make may follow them for their money but they may also leave them when all money is spent. Sometimes people can’t decide what they want to do with all the money they have won, so they try to think of what they want. In the end, most people usually decide to save the money.

There are some lottery winners who decide to give up their jobs, because they think they have enough money and don’t need to work any longer. Some big lottery winners make even bigger changes—they end their marriages. They feel that they should be with a younger or more attractive man or woman but what they don’t know is that their new money is just a bit of luck. It can’t change everything. Before you buy the next lottery ticket, think about what you want to do and what you don’t want to do if you won.
