Would you quit your job? Share with family and friends? Do you think it would change your outlook on life? Would you be suspicious of new friends whom you only met once you won the lottery? It's a life changing experience and I've read that some lives are ruined when the win the lottery. What do you think?

If I won a huge amount of money then obviously my life would change quite radically. I would be able to pay off my debts and bills, maybe buy a new house and a car but I would also make sure that I invested a lot of the money in solid investments to ensure an income. But I would expect to find people suddenly wanting to be my friends, the parasites would crawl out of the woodwork as soon as they knew I had money. I would have to be very wary of people for a while and would probably rely on my close friends and family for support.

I would be wary of new "friends" too. I would stick with the friends I have now and help my family members as much as possible. I would also want to invest my money so there would always be money there. I think I would like to set up trust funds for certain charities so those in need will get some benefit from it.

I would not quit my job, but I would take an extended vacation and travel. I would buy a house in Vegas as well as Minnesota and put the rest of the money away in the bank while continuing to work. I would be very careful of new people coming into the picture.

Seeing as I have plenty of things I'd like to do if I won the lottery, about the only change it would really make in my life is that I would be assured that everyone in my family was in a better position. I'd pay off the debt we have and buy us a house, and then pay off my mom's house and buy my fiance's mom a house, and finally set aside money for my niece and nephew for college funds. But other than that, I'd pretty much go on with my life as normal. :)
