Do you think winning the lottery would make your problems better or worse?

I always think about what I would do if I won the lottery. But then I start thinking about the problems it would cause. I'd be rich but none of my friends or family. How much would they expect me to help them? What if I wanted to take everyone on a trip around the world? They can't go because they still have to work. If I move, what types of friends would I be able to meet? Once I've visited all the places I've always wanted to go, shop and buy everything I wanted...then what?

It could probably make my life a little better. I'd give my parents money to pay off the house and for the college tuition for my sister and I. I'd then buy myself an apartment, and then put the rest of it in savings. As long as I have money in the bank, I won't stress.

winning in lottery means big luck. of course you will gain and lose friends but the important thing is your family. sure friends are there when u need someone to cry on but would they be by your side when something go wrong? lottery or not, families will stick to each other. so don't mind if you didn't treat your buddies a round trip to the world or in first class restaurants and believe me, these pals out of lottery are just like leeches: crowded when there is blood, scattered when you're already dry. =)

Winning the lottery would make my problems better. It would give me the opportunity to pay off bills, buy a new car, get my own home, and most importantly, help my mom and sisters as much as I could. I can also donate to my favorite charities. That's something I would want to do for sure.

It would definately make my problems better. I would help out others as well as build my business. It has been said for a very long time in my family that if any of us wins the lottery, all of us would be taken care of. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I said taken care of, not over-induldged. My own lifestyle would not chande all that much. I would have a home, a decent, but not brand new vehicle, my children would have trust funds set up for them. I would fund my business and get it up and running quite well, and I would seek to help those that are really trying but need a hand, and children who need direction.
This has actually been a topic of many conversations between my parents anf I as well as my husband and I. Of course, we would also invest in our retirement.
Whether I ever win the lottery or not, I will abtain my goals though. Winning the lottery would just speed up the process.
