Winning the Lottery...

If I ever had the opportunity to be worth millions upon millions of dollars, this is what I'd do:

1) Tell no one.
2) Get it all in cash.
3) Stuff it in my sheets.
4) Roll around in it.

Kidding. If I actually found myself winning the lottery, I'd pay off tuition for me and my siblings, and the mortgage on my parents' house, upgrade the family vehicles to ones that don't break down every 15 miles, and buy my grandmother a condo somewhere relaxing yet close to the family. Probably on a beach. I'd make some donations to my high school and to Trinity, and probably a few other charities (where much is given, much is required). But to be honest, I wouldn't really know what to do after that, or how much money I'd be left with. I'd probably get super annoyed with people straight up asking for money, or cozying up to me to get a hand in my back pocket. I'd probably start going crazy trying to think up responsible ways to spend that kind of money. After securing the financial stability of my family, I might just end up sitting on it. So it's probably a good thing that I didn't win the lottery. I'd rather earn money the good ole fashioned way, and be in safe debt so I'd always know where to spend my money.

Although I WOULD like a hot tub.
