What does a lottery-win mean for you?

Yes, interesting concept, bounce! I guess winning the lottery could represent "confidence" . . . in essence it would give anyone the confidence to be able to live the life they really want to live. But at least with a lottery winning, one would then have that financial cushion to back up that lifestyle change - it would be less risky especially if one has something to lose. Let's see . . . winning the lottery would represent "better quality of life" to me. And by that I don't mean just being able to buy the very best of material "things". We could do so much more with for ourselves or others if all our basic necessities were all taken care of . . . the rest would be extra and we could work towards them because we want to - not because we have to. Having financial freedom would mean less time spent trying to make money . . . more time would be spent "living" a life rather than being a slave to it. Now the question is HOW do I win the lottery?!

I can see you find the point of problem. That's true. Many of people would say:if i win the lottery, i would...... Actually they can do it even without the unexpected money. But i wanna say that's human nature. In our life, most of the time we want to change ourselves and do something we really want, while it's hard for us to put forward the first step. We dare not to challenge this world. If we quit a job we won't, we're not sure we'll find a one we desire. So the lottery could give us the confidence and courage to do. I believe one day if we dare to follow our heart that would mean there're less thing we can lose. At that moment, we will be ourselves, the real me.

hi bounce it wou ld represent a way to not have to live in this retirement center asI could buy a condo furnished and be my own boss again. Pay off any bills and be free from so m any things. but to those who really need it it seldom falls their way so I am just going to be happy where I am and its a nice dream. lo

What does a lottery-win mean for you? Honestly I don't know how to answer this question because I don't really buy lottery tickets. I am not really a fan of lottery. Not because I don't need money or I don't wanna get rich but simply because I don't wanna be involved in any form of gambling. If buying a ticket would assure sure win then who would not buy one? But there is no assurance. For how long will I buy tickets to get the jackpot? I know many people who have been wasted so much for this but have not won even once. I don't want to be one of them. But you know one of my neighbors made it. He won around 32 million and for that he became an instant millionaire. Did that entice me to try lottery? No! I am happy for him but I was not attracted to try my luck for in the first place I don't believe in luck. I have always been a practical person. I know that any game of chance will most likely lead to waste of money so I might as well just save my money instead of wasting it in lottery

Winning the lottery for me is: paying my debts. That´s what I want, and I would continue working because I love my work, and my way of daily living. Winning the lottery wouldn´t make me quit my daily job that makes me so happy! Blessings bounce ... dainy

A friend's daughter just won the lottery. My friend really needs a car. Her daughter is going to get her a car with some of the money. For my friend, getting a car is a major answer to her prayers. God works in mysterious ways, sometimes He even uses surprise lottery wins to answer our prayers!

For many people it does mean a chance at a second life. If you learn how to budget it, and get some good advice you can learn to live off of it, and become a better person. Too many times people tend to squander their winnings, or act bigger and better than everyone else forgetting where they came from. I would be the opposite and want to help some of the less fortunate to give more people a warmer place to live and more life to want to live. Yes, winning the lottery would be nice, and would be a start but learning to live with what you have is a start as well.

I agree with you that we are quite capable of taking control of our lives without the need for a strong financial backing. Nevertheless, to be fair it is much easier if we do have wealth because we no longer depend on the same level of support. To leave a distasteful job will often incur financial difficult if other employment is hard to find, so many people are reluctant to take the risk. Similarly many people depend on a level of parental support, even if they do not live with them. Personally I do not need to win the lottery because I live reasonable well and will retire from work in a year and a half. Even so, it would be very helpful to have a moderate win so that I could take more exotic holidays and live better when I do retire.

The first thing I'd do if I won the lottery is get my own place, because of circumstances beyond my control I had to move back in with my parents, it was only meant to be a temporary measure, I love my mum but hate my father, it's an awkward situation, trouble is I love my independence and privacy and need my own place. Doesn't have to be a fortune, just enough to I can at least set myself up with a place I can call mine and have no one to bother me!

The difference between working or not; driving a car or not; having my own place or not; beholden to others or not; paying bills on time or not; pursuing my dreams or not. having a life that belongs to me or not.

Wining the lottery means a lot for me. At least I don't have to be worried about how to earn more money. And it means that I may not focus on work any more. I can have more free time to do whatever I like. Such as I will have time and money to travel the places I like. The life shall be relaxing.

A lottery win for me, would represent financial freedom. It will not make me happier or a different person. I would be someone who would try to make some dreams come true and continue to do the things I enjoy. My happiness would be a result of making wise choices and benefiting from leading a good life with financial freedom being the cherry on top.

Winning the lottery would mean freedom from financial obligations for some time. Because life doesn't stop after you win, it could help a lot in your everyday expenses or debts but still, if you don't do anything to make it grow, for some time, it will be gone before you know it.

most self-help books say that you should imagine your ideal life to know what you're meant to do then work out a plan with a timetable on how to achieve that. i think that's what a lottery win will do. instead of a future condition, it's here and now. that's why winners are advised not to claim it first so they have time to really think things out. i remember reading about one laborer who moved his family in a different place so it's like starting over on a clean slate. i think that's what some of us need, totally cutting off the old. but can we really?

O yes, it would give me confidence and I would be able to repay my children for the enormus burden of debt they received from my two suregeries. I woud not move into another house but would probably upgrade my car. I would amke sure that my grnad children's education is assured and then - I would upgrade the schools for 3 to 6 year olds in my country. I would also help young people with education and be able to do so many things. For myself, I would like to visit Israel before I die. Blessings

I can really relate to this! We don't need the lottery to make those calls BUT financial freedom sure does make it a lot easier. I remember when I started working in the place I am at now; I really needed that job. I had children and I was by myself. I put up with more than I ever have in my life because I had to have that paycheck. I saw people in higher positions just "say anything" to other people in higher positions and I thought..wow..how do they risk it? Now I realize because as my children have grown, I have become quite a bit more..well...lets say voiced.

Fulfilling dad's dreams, repaying loans, and traveling. :) Getting a few treatments as well. :)

We have a lot of concepts, if we do win a lottery. Some would say, trip around the world, put up a business, share the blessings to others, and among others. We still need to let ourselves down to earth, money is just a material thing.

Depends how much. I can pay off school loans and buy a house out right. Those are two definite things. Dreaming I would set it up to never have to work again so I can homeschool my children and live happily ever after! Happy myLotting!

I think we can't put our trust and future to lottery yet many people were on or hung up to this game and spending or money, but I would choice to have not rather than earning money for good but it will also make it bad in the sense that many people were up to money and money or love of money etc. people also move in a appropriate way.
