I wouldn't want to win the lottery. Honestly. I've seen too many stories about how winning it instantly turns friends and some family into resentful gold-diggers, removes one's incentive to work, and generally erodes one's character.
I've got a job I enjoy doing, and I like knowing that I have to work each day to provide for myself and my family.
If you ever win, you can give that ticket to me.
Actually, if anyone wants to give me a winning ticket, I'll take it. I am helpful like that.....
Good point. I've often said that an ideal lottery prize would be somewhere in the range of $200,000 to $500,000. Enough money to pay your mortgage, get your kids through school, and buy some things that you otherwise couldn't afford . . . but not enough to change your lifestyle so dramatically that you fall apart.
