Oftentimes, becoming a lottery winner is a double-edged sword. For every inspirational story you read about someone whose life has been changed for the better, there are several additional stories that detail how winning the lottery led to financial ruin.

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”

1 Timothy 6:10

Although I don’t consider myself an individual who “loves” money, I admit that I wouldn’t mind finding out what winning the lottery would do within my own life.

Now to the question at hand. Here are a small number of things I would do should I ever win millions!

PUT THE WINNING TICKET IN A SAFE PLACE & SIGN IT FIRST

TELL NO ONE

SPEND SOME OF MY WINDFALL HIRING COMPETENT & TRUSTWORTHY ADVISORS (LAWYERS, FINANCIAL ADVISORS, TAX ACCOUNTANTS, ETC.)

PLAN & DEVELOP A SOLID FINANCIAL PLAN OF INVESTMENT AND LONG-TERM GROWTH

VANISH FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

PAY OFF ALL DEBTS

CHANGE PHONE NUMBER AND MAYBE MOVE TOO

SHARE SOME WITH FAMILY & SELECT FRIENDS

CREATE A FOUNDATION, CHARITY OR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

TAKE A VACATION!
