if you hit the lottery would you take the payment in one lump sum or monthly? would you share your new found wealth with others?
Ditto. I don''t play. I''ve bought one ticket in my life, which was when I turned 18. DH plays if it''s above 50 mil.Date: 2/7/2009 3:54:51 PM

I don''t play, but if I *did* and won, I''d take the lump sum. As for sharing it, absolutely, with family- depending on the amount, I''d make sure my parents could retire comfortably tomorrow.
We very rarely buy tickets. Don''t have a choice here, lump sum only. We don''t pay taxes like the US does though, so huge bonus if you were to actually win. Even though we don''t really play, we often have conversations about doling out our "winnings". Family first, then friends and organizations.Date: 2/7/2009 3:34:52 PM

Lord DF this is like playing Spaids with my father when he would
''force'' my hand!
Yes- I admit it, I play the lottery.
My friend once said that only ''desperate'' people play the lottery.
I was too embarassed to tell her I was one of the desperate!
Oh well- I would take the lump sum and spread the wealth!

No. You are 12 times more likely to die in a car accident driving 1 mile to the store to buy the ticket than you are to win.

My DH thinks I am crazy but I wait a long time before I check my tickets, in fact I avoid knowing--cos you''re always the winner until you check. Then I realize it ain''t gonna happen and I''m done-done. I stop playing and think about something else. Back to the real world.
be sure to spread some towards DF.Date: 2/7/2009 7:16:38 PM

Haha! No, I did play one time when it got up to some outrageously huge number and all the teachers pooled money together. We were all laughing about how funny it would be if we won and then all quit...the kids would have to have subs the rest of the year! But I really don't play because the odds are just so low and I've seen documentaries on people that have won and how it has ruined their lives in so many cases. It is fun to daydream about how to spend it though!Date: 2/7/2009 7:23:32 PM
