I Don't Want to Win the Lottery!

Looking at it from that prespective I agree with you. What is to make it on one's own. You could use the money you win and make something bigger out of it and then you would know if you could have made it on your own in the first place.

You aren't crazy at all just because your wife does not think like you. I understand but wouldn't you really want to have a life of comfort and relaxation than to be struggling and hoping to to be a success?

It is not whether or not you win the lottery, it is how you treat money. You will make it on your own if you have the desire to do so. The odds of you winning the lottery are out of this world. Think about how you will create your own methods for making it on your own. You will appreciate your earnings much more. Instead of waiting to hit the lottery, move forward with plans to find work or a business that excites you.

Well you're not crazy - no - it is your life and your entitled to think what you like and live it how you choose. But personally I would LOVE to win the Lottery! Not to buy flash houses, and designer cothes and fast cars and yachts - that really doesn't interest me - but to have the security of knowing that if ever I was too old or sick to work, or if my chldren or family needed help - it would all be taken care of with no worries. Also - there are so many charities that would benefit from just a small donation from a Lottery win - sick children, cancer wards, local hospitals, animal charities - whatever you care about you could help out. I would love that.

I think your wife is right you are crazy lol you can do even more after you win the lottery you could help yourself and others which in turn would make you feel good

sorry but yes you are no offense, but if you really don't wan't the money better give it to the poor.

i have no desire to win the lottery. for what i'v seen being rich isn't all that. ill keep working for what we need or want. i would rather have true friends (not freinds because of money). there are truely things money cant buy

Yes, you are very crazy. Money its too important for our lives and the lottery is too important way for getting a lot of money very quickly so i want to win the lottery someday, have a nice day on mylot and happy earnings also.

I don't think your crazy at all, I think that other people would look at you differently and try and take advantage of you if you were to win. I play but I have decided that if I ever won, I would collect it anonymously through a lawyer and put it in the bank, just use the interest and my kids would have their own little nest egg when they got old enough.

No you are not crazy....that is just your oppinion...money can make you dumb or in some ways depending on how it is used can make you smart...but then again if you won the lottery every under the son would be looking for a handout...you would find relative you knew you never had all of a sudden....but then again u could always by an island and live there and not have to deal with that...

Not wanting to win the lottery is OK. Refusing the award would be something else!! lol Winning the lottery, for a responsible person, is a big responsibility. OK when the holiday is over and the champagne gets boring you have the challenge of making that money work. Work for you, your family and your Grandchildren to come perhaps... Then you may have pet projects that you wish to give a boost to, charities, youth projects, friends working their butt off to get a new business running...the list goes on. A lottery win can be a licence to indulge, or it can be a huge responsibility. It depends who you are.

Maybe a little bit crazy if your only motive was that you will never know what it takes to make and own it. You probably in your life time has made a lot of money but you don't have because, maybe not properly managed, no sacrifice was made in form of an investment that would have made you rich. The most single important problem faced by rich people is how to manage what they have. If you win a lottery, you have a huge problem of management, security, investment, scammers and thieves to worry about. The mark of a man is the ability to manage what you have and own.

i do think you are crazy! so what if money means security...wudnt that mean u wud have a safe place for ur family? wudnt u want tht? yeh fair enuff some people do change when they have money, but u can make sure tht doesnt happen, its not tht diffcult

why?

The principle in the lottery is that if you win, somebody else looses. Giving to others is something that makes us happy and the lottery is the complete opposite. If you work for the money, you will appreciate it much more and be careful where you put it and not throw it away on some things you do not really need. I never buy any lottery tickets but I am searching a decent income which gives me freedom and enables me to help others. I have some interesting business things going on which you can find on my website. I think your thinking is healthy, not crazy at all.

There was just a story in my local newspaper about a lottery winner. He won 315 million on Christmas 1 or 2 years ago. Now he has no money left and is in a whole bunch of legal trouble. Some people could handle winning the money while others can't. Even if you have a lot of money there are still things you can strive for that would be a easier if money was not an issue. There are many causes you could fight for.

No you are just someone that was raised that there is no easy money. I wish i could be that way, but i guess i kind of am because i do play the lottery i just say if i would win, but i guess you have to play to win right?

Winning the lottery does not mean you do not have what it takes to make it on your own. It simply allows you to pursue you goals sooner. The funds can be used to finance your plan be it your own business, scholarship, real estate, whatever. If you have what it takes, you will be more successful sooner. If you don't have what it takes your endeavor will crash and burn. Money in and of itself if no more good or bad than say... a car. You can use it to drive someone to the doctor or use it to kill someone. Money only magnifies what you already are. It allows generous kind-spirited people to be moreso. You can take money and do an Oprah and open a school. It allows mean-spirited people to be moreso and they would use the money to demean or control people. Me. I'm an adventurous spirit. I'd use part of the money to be a space tourist. The lottery is the only way I could afford to do that. BP

I agree with all of the posters; however, if you won the money you could donate it to some worthy causes in your community. Several of my friends won money in the lottery and donated books to one of the local elementary schools because the school didn't have enough books, so students couldn't take a book home to read. If I won the lottery, I would donate it to several organizations in my city that use every dollar helping people, so its not used in a poor way.

I don't know coz im not not yet win in the lottery but i believe that money that you have is not the fruit of your own is will easily gone instead it has an equivalent thing will happen.
