These are the things we think about: "...if I won the $500 million dollars, I'd ___________."
Well, here are some good points IF you do actually win from an article in The Denver Post:
Q: What do I do with the ticket?
A: Before anything else, sign the back. That will stop anyone else from claiming your riches if you happen to drop it while you're jumping up and down. Then make a photocopy and lock that in a safe. At the very least, keep it where you know it's protected. A Rhode Island woman who won a $336 million Powerball jackpot hid the ticket in her Bible before going out to breakfast.
Q: What next?
A: Relax and take time to think about your next move. Don't do anything you'll regret for the next 30 years. It doesn't take long to be overwhelmed by long-lost friends, charities and churches wanting to share your good fortune. You've waited a lifetime to hit the jackpot; you can wait a few days before going on a spending spree.
