One Wednesday September 26th 2012 somebody in Iowa won the 202 million dollar Powerball. I already have my winnings mapped out if I was to win the Powerball. I would make sure my family is finically set. Continue living my day to day life. I would invest into something nonprofit.
With that said let me tell you how I would spend my winnings. Making sure my family is finically set would consist of: Paying all of our debt off. Making sure my children’s education is paid for and they have money for the rest of their life. I would make sure my parents bills are completed paid off and that they didn’t have to work another day. That’s the least I could for them having to put up with me as a child.
When you think of winning the lotto the first thing that comes to mind is that ‘Oh I am going to quit my job.” This girl is not going to quit her job.
I would continue with my education and continue working. Yes, you can take a vacation for 2-3 weeks but what happens when that gets old? You can only vacation so long. I am not the type of person that would be content with not working. When I was on maternity leave I had to go back to work about 3-4 weeks, I couldn’t stand stay at home. I think that you still need a purpose, a way to contribute to feel good about yourself.
Another thing that I stronger believe in is giving back to your community. Most of my money would go towards a nonprofit organization or I would open something in my community. I would consider opening a shelter for animals that have been abuse or that just don’t have a place to call home. Another thing I would consider is contributing money to something to do with Child abuse. There are many children out that they need just a place to sleep or a way out of an abusive household. I might open some type of children’s home.
As you can see there are many great things I would do with my Powerball winnings. I still have high hopes of winning the
