If you won the lottery, would you share?

My brother-in-laws youngest sister just won the lottery with several other people from where she works. Her share came to about $450,000 before taxes. This past weekend she gave each of her siblings (seven of them) a $5,000 check and also gave much more than that to her parents. My question is, if you won the lottery, would you share with your family and friends?

I would definately share, I believe when you help others, it comes back to you. Plus i am a giving person and very familly oriented, my family would definately get money. Not only my family but coworkers and extended family also, along with local charities and to my work place that does so much for its patients but yet is struggling for its workers due to funding. YES, I WOULD SHARE!!! Someday, I will buy a lottery ticket, lol...

I would definitely share it with my family, especially my parents. They have done so much for me that I would want to do something for them. As for my sister and brother, I know that they would appreciate t for sure and if they were in the same place they would do the same for me.

I would - of course with a reasonable amount. May be leave 60% for me and my future and then the rest for my family members.

I would share with my family and a few close friends. If I won I'd find out that I had more friends than I originally thought though. I have 2 dear friends and they would be the ones I shared with.

If I win the lottery, I would split it to 50% for me, 30% to my family and 20% to some charitable institutions.

Absolutely,my good fortune shouldn't just help me. I would give my family members each some money as long as they understood that I wasn't going to be their bailout service every time they needed to pay a bill or something.
