Randomguy Posted March 23, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 23, 2020 I would be happy to win the lottery, lottery money buys a lot of security. When this is over, I imagine a party or two would be fine, but the lack of financial stress would be the key benefit for me. I would camp a lot more if I won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted March 23, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2020 If I won $65 M I would stop putting myself in harm’s way of this virus, and stay at home until it passed. I don’t care if that took 6 months, I’d make that sacrifice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted March 23, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 23, 2020 I think living through this CCP-Virus thing along with most of my family and friends intact and alive, is the lottery. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted March 23, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 23, 2020 A $65 million lottery could do so many things right now. I could help out friends in the restaurant/food service industry who are really hurting. I could make sure my family has a financial buffer. I would not be exposed to the public as I am now. I could help people facing a financial burden from testing and illness. I could be a really great guy and still have wealth for when this passes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helping some small businesses...is a great idea after doing the financial buffer for loved ones. Buy some medical equipment for hospitals...

ChrisL Posted March 23, 2020 Share #12 Posted March 23, 2020 Not the lottery but I have an odd dilemma in that I got a fat bonus just as all this hit. I plunked down close to $500 on bike parts the Friday before all the closures started happening. I’m not 100% certain I’ll get those parts as I’m not sure the shop will reopen after this...

My kids, animal shelters, and animal advocacy groups would get my money if I only had two weeks. I don't want to die, but I would love knowing I helped them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOu know the Canadian tax system is such that, having way too much money near end of life, you end paying more tax to govn't. A time where sure, nursing home gets the cut, but one could have used surplus at start of retirement to enjoy while still healthy. well, if we all recover hale and hearty.
