Re: Upon winning the lottery, What would you do?

Well, it depends on how big the lottery win was... I'd keep working for awhile.

If you're talking over $20 million lump sum.... I'd keep working... not for my current employer, but for my own venture.

Then, not in any particular order...

Set up a little trust fund to sponsor my FIRST team for a long, long time.

Set up a little scholarship fund to guarantee at least one student per year on my FIRST team a scholarship.

Take some nice vacations.

Take care of my children's educations and getting their adult lives started.

Take care of my wife's and my parents.

Go back to school.

Make the world a better place. (I think I covered that with some of the above, but I'm sure I'd think of more!)

Once you've departed this Earth, you're remembered less for the size of your bank account and more for the size of the improvements you've made to society.
