Lottery

I have to admit that for a guy who doesn't believe in gambling, I've given this a LOT of thought. Mostly while I'm driving in the car where most of my open thinking occurs.

So here it is.

Say I win $175 million.

First rule: Do not make anyone rich, including myself. That will ruin your life.
Second rule: Get rid of it before anyone notices.

So I'll have to do the following:

1. Have an attorney pick it up anonymously. Do not appear on TV especially.
2. Pay off all of my debts.
3. Anonymously pay off family debts.
4. Create an organization to oversee and use the money to any number of ideas I have for community and religious charities. Let's face it, money is power and to not use it for the benefit of mankind would be crazy. It would be an excellent opportunity to do something amazing.

And never tell anyone.

That's the perfect scenario. Is there a human alive that could stick with such a plan? I don't know. Every time I get tempted to buy a lotto ticket I cringe at the thought of loosing everything I've worked for. A weird thought to have when most people see it as an opportunity for gain.

So I'll try not to dwell on this much anymore. But it's a cool thought. But then reality hits...it would really shake things up. I don't need that.
