[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 198149, member: 3419"] Fun idea, Mutt, regardless whether the math is right. :) (I didn't dare compute it.) And I agree with-you and Janet, that the people who start off with-$ will end up with-it, for exactly the same reason. They know how to handle $ to begin with. But you can't [I]make[/I] people do that. Surveys of folks who have won millions in lotteries bear out the same concept--the ones who started out stable and/or wealthy stayed that way. Some even kept their jobs. The ones who started out dirt poor ended up even worse. I love reading about people who win the lottery and what they do with-the $. My husband and I talk about it every few mo's. My first goal, aside from paying off the mortgage and paying the kids' tuition, is to do a hostile takeover of our local SPCA. :winking: :smart: I'd expand it to hold 4X as many animals, hire a hundred more employees to go to people's homes and do fence checks, paint murals on the walls of the bldg, and do lots of community education. I'd probably donate some $ to some orphanages (do we have any in the U.S.?). [/QUOTE]
