How would winning the lottery would change my life, one can only say drastically it wouldn't only change my life but those of the less fortunate. I believe I'm a giving person, and have always been. I do not lack anything in life materialistically speaking. Some will argue that to want is the same as lacking, but we all want, Who doesn't? In life i might not have much money, but I'm full of happiness, friends and love.
The First Way winning the lottery would change my life is I would be able to finally help others in a massive scale. Living in a poor income city where 26% of the city population live below poverty and 24% are at poverty level and 20% are low income, 20% are medium wealth family and finally approximately 10% are wealthy. All these statistic are from the census burea and supporting sites.I've said to my self winning the lottery would allow me to donate to the local mission center as much as the government allows me and as much as is feasible to donate based on lottery amount. 1 million dollars over a couple of years could feed and help the homeless for awhile.
I would follow that by starting my own foundation to help those with families of 2 or more who are low-income and below, in any way we could. I would hold fundraiser function held every year to replenish that money. I'm not naive and claiming that it will help all the estimated 51% who are low income and below, but I can make some impact.
The second way winning the lottery would affect me, is I would now be able to start a business or make business deals that would entice other types of industries and entertainment that the city lacks due to its view on what type of industry we allow. Our local government see it this way if its not industrial or production industry they will rarely approve of them building their business here. In the past 20 years we have lost Sea World, Six Flags, Gap Inc headquarters, and a sports center. Because it did not reflect what the city needs, because they could extend tax cut to these business for a couple of year. This city and its government always complains about job creation but when we don't push our government to accept new lines of industry this city will never grow.
The third way winning the lottery would affect me is by expanding its arts and cultures areas. There are so many talented artist, and musicians, but is so poorly funded. The city of Marfa ,Texas a city of a population of 2121 has a better artist funded based culture than a city of 700,000. Another foundation to help the arts came to mind. To restate I'm not naive I know that all the money in the world couldn't help everyone but I can make an effort. Its all about trying, and I would put forward my effort.
The running stretch the fourth way winning the lottery would help me, is I can also provide a better more organized LGBT community block and center. Starting a business that would entice more venues, more sponsors, and most importantly provide money for the AIDS hospice the needed money they need. Not to mention to provide information for parents and gay teens, when the suicide for gay teens ranges between 35-40 percent that is a shocking percentage. Yet again a foundation to help those teens who run away, provide them a shelter center where they feel welcome. Again I have big hope for the world but believe me when I say this I'm not naive.
Finally depending on lottery amount I estimate the previous cost to be around 20-50 million dollars with a lottery amount of 112 million usually on powerball I would invest the rest, invest in simply home, help my immediate friends and family in need. I would continue to donate to my city and nationally when possible. I would visit many places and wonders of the world.
