Think about but don't obsess over it right now.
Just realize that if you do win you will have all kinds of questions and requests. Your family will change and so will
your friends. Before your win, you were just like or worse off than them. When you win you're instantly someone
to compete with, be envious of, get angry at and feel contempt for. Some won't show it but silently challenge you to
'do the right thing' in their eyes and when you don't, that's when the snide remarks come and the insults and things
come out they would never say when they thought they had a chance of getting something from you.
Most people are jealous and greedy, as long as it's them that has, they're on cloud 9 but still wondering who is coming
to take it away from them. Generous people are a blessing but there are few. Generosity when you're poor is different
than when you're rich. When you have money, you have to guard against everyone using you and assuming you're
there for them when they need you..*cough*..your money.
All your relationships will change in some way. You are right not to trust anyone. Family members who hated you
will be cozying up to you, friends will be making remarks and looking hopeful too and anyone you were close to
will either pass the test or not. Money brings out true colors. Most everyone wants it but everyone doesn't have
it. I wouldn't be the least bit sorry about telling certain people to get out of my life especially if they change after
you win. Live the way you want, act the way you want, don't feel you have to hide when you win, what fun is that?
It will be mighty uncomfortable for awhile but the way you handle yourself after you win is up to you - you aren't
under contract to help the world, your friends or your family. Cut the amount of friends you have down by 80% and
write off another 50% of family..then another 25% later on because that's where you'll be. Expect not much more
than you and your money but how is that so bad when one day you'll be able to just live peacefully and comfortably
without anyone asking you for anything? Time makes people forget a few things and others it just builds more
resentment. Hey if you find out people are like that after you win, they were like that before you won but just didn't
show it. Tolerance is easy when you're equal, it's the instant riches that most people can't stand because they want
it, you have it and they don't have it. All of a sudden you're an instant ATM and even if they don't outright ask, they
are thinking about it and that changes everything too.
I'd get away from people but not so far away it makes me live in a way I don't want to live. Learn to say no
and don't open mail and screen calls and tell people to take a leap. Everyone says winning a big amount of money
is a major headache. Sooner or later that headache will go away. The cure for it is going to be in your hands.
Happy winnings!
