ALice..
This is the rules I would follow.
1. Don't let the lottery put you out there "PUBLICLY" Deadly mistake to put your name out there, so every every nut job will know who you are and where you live. Because of what happened in Florida to that guy who won the lottery ( He was murdered for his money)
2. Set up a " Living Trust " at the bank
3. I would set up a Charitable trust in the names of those in my family who have passed on, say put 6 Million. Or just use my last name for the trust, it would cover those who passed on. Check out those charities that are worth and don't take large salaries.
4. Help my two sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews with their own trust and friends I know who need help.
Cheers..Joe |

Alice..
A woman conned him a year ago saying she wanted to write his biography, then later on she had him open a business and took 1 million in cash from his checking account, she and a man were arrested. They found him buried underneath a slab....Never be a trusting soul, this poor guy didn't deserve it ! He was too kind and trusting..
Cheers..Joe |

| Joe, you have to play to win, and I don't play. Hypothetically, if I won, I'd tell no one - not even my own kids. I've seen what money can do. It can destroy normally kind loving people. I'd invest part, earmark the distribution of certain sums to people with conditions before it could be used. Then I'd go out and shovel more snow. |

| Pay the bills and buy a baby unit or two for the local hospital. I would physically be involved in the purchase of it because I dont trust the hospital admin to handle the money as they would likely spend it on painting the building or do up the car park or some other trivial thing. I would certainly not go publicly anouncing my fortune and if possible I would try to keep it secret even from my family.
I would of course ensure my family would want for nothing.
Except for giving Joe his free ticket to London and go on a cruise that's about it. |

| I am a simple liver......let me rephrase. I live simply. I would pay off my house.
I would buy Duette.
David made me say that. He likes not having neighbors.
Really, I would love to own Lester's Field of Wooffer Book fame. Pastures and river and woods.
I would like to go to England and see Shelagh and those lovely places she posts photos of.
All selfish stuff.
I would like to go to Lin's writer's conference in California.
I need a magic wand in the worst way!
I would get a hearing aid.
Love, Betty |
