When you win the Lottery what would you do?
We hear a lot about philanthropy these days. Though me thinks there could be more.At last count there were 1810 billionaires in the world with a net worth of 6.5 Trillion dollars. Surely that amount of money tied up in so few is unethical. Yes, maybe they are philanthropic but they still have more money than they need.
Back to my question.
If it was a super draw, ie, 40 million, ( Maximum ever offered so far in Australia is 60 million ) I obviously would set myself up for life, ie, own home and enough to survive till I died. If that be 10 million then that what it be. With the residual I would help my 2 closest friends by paying their mortgages off and any outstanding bills.
Replace their 15 year old car, etc. and I would deposit enough money into an account for them which would be solely for paying utility bills via direct debit for the next 10 years.
That would still leave me ? 25 million?
The mind boggles as to what could be done with this amount of cash. I like the concept of Beyond Shelter. Maybe I could set up a chapter here in WA.
We did try that 10 years ago but the Government would have nothing to do with it.
We got as far as actually having the Gov Minister responsible for the welfare of society to attend a private dinner with us. We were seeking funding. At the end of the evening when we were seeking an answer her response was,
" The poor only have themselves to blame "
What will you do when you win the Lottery?
