According to the National Endowment for Financial Education, about 70 percent of people who have won large lottery jackpots or fall into the possession of large sums of money all at once, wind up going broke and as much as one-third of them file for bankruptcy.
If I won tens of millions of dollars in the lottery I'd stay right here in Tri-Cities, but it wouldn't look the same after I got done! Here are a few ideas at the top of my list. If you win, how would you share (and with whom)?
When you win a Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot it’s not just you who wins; it’s anybody you want to share the win with -- your wife, husband, kids, friends, dog, cat --
If you thought a half a billion was big - hang on! The jackpot has officially been raised to 540-million dollars for the drawing on Friday. I wouldn't doubt if it grows again tomorrow.
