What to do? I won!?

Question

I won the lottery and now everyone is asking me for help. Im thinking to giving all my winning to church.

Answer 1

Realize that no matter what you do others will be disappointed. Some will be disappointed that you won instead of them, others will be disappointed about how you are spending the money, since they think they would spend it differently. If you give it all to a church, then there will also be those who think you took a cowards way out and that you did not try to handle and be responsible for the money as you ought to. The only person who can truly answer what you should do with the money is you. Realize that according to the Bible, you do need to return to God ten percent of the money, but that is the only requirement as far as an exact amount 'owed'. As for the rest of the money, we are encouraged to be 'Good Stewards' with our money. Money is a 'talent' that we should do our best to use to enrich the lives of others as well as our own. Usually, your true friends will stick with you whatever you decide to do. People who are more worried about your money than they are about you, you need to stay away from, even if it's your own family. You will not be a help to them if you just blow all of your money on things that don't last. Now if you have a friend or family member that has been being responsible and through no fault of their own they are having financial problems, you probably should help out. God bless you, and may He give you the wisdom to wisely handle His blessings:)

Answer 2

Move somewhere else where no one knows you have all the money give 10% to the church its tax deductiable tell people asking for help you have family and they come first

Answer 3

Tell people you went to Vegas and blew the whole thing.

Answer 4

It's amazing how many friends you acquire after winning the lottery. Everybody wants a handout. There are lots of things you can do with the money. Like me: Starting in January, I but 3 to 5 toys a week, and I save them for a year, that way I have over 200 toys to donate to toys for tots by the following Christmas.

I also send two checks a year to Demelza House Children's Hospice in Kent, England which is a wonderful charity.  

You can also make a child's last wish come true by donating to The Make A Wish Foundation. There are so many places that can use your help. Just find a charity that is near and dear to your heart. :)
