What would your life be like if you won hundreds of millions and is it worth it?

Do you have any idea how winning hundreds of millions of dollars
would "really" affect your life?

Is this kind of money worth not being able to leave home
because you're afraid of being kidnapped or killed by an heir?
Are you ready to hire body guards - then wonder if you can trust them?

Are you ready to worry about the wellbeing of your children?

Are you ready to worry about the well being of your close relatives?
Are you ready to have no friends because everyone would begrudge your winning?
Are you ready to hire someone to do the driving for you for fear of being sued?
Are you ready for everyone you know to hold out their hands wanting something?
Are you ready to be all alone in this world because you're always wondering if
your friend was a true friend or just there to get what he can from you
Are you ready to take multiple calls per day from people who have deals?
Are you ready to receive stacks of mail daily from people
who have deals and sob stories?
Are you ready for the press to follow you and report your every move?

Are you ready to move? Find new schools, churches, friends, places to shop and eat?
Are you ready to be bored because you quit your job and have nothing to do?
Are you ready for your ex-wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, friends
to make contact with you again because they suddenly realized they
made a mistake and found out that they really do love you?

Do you know how many long lost relatives you really have?

Do you think you could "trust" lawyers, accountants and brokers to advise you?
Do you want to live the rest of your life looking over your shoulder?

Well, is it really worth it? G5

Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

the op has a $5000 problem, not a hundreds of $ millions problem.

"I would have sent her $500 in a check form as an anonymous donor "

That's just a bit problematic if the $500 was supposed to be a loan and not a gift. If that or any gift revealing who you are isn't a problem you can just mail modest amounts in the form of a postal money order (in that US, at least; I don't know about other countries' options). If you win enough you can also hire a lawyer to handle the donation. That can also be a good idea for charitable donations, so the charity can't keep hitting you up for more donations. Using a lawyer also covers you if you're claiming a deduction and an audit requires proof.

What is he talking about? He clearly did not read the original post and instead wants to write a long off topic diatribe. Most of us were genuinely trying to help the OP.

Bizarre for a guy who is soooo obsessed with people remembering every detail of his long made up stories.

Members do not need to be "lectured" to on lottery 101 issues. He clearly never read the anonymity summary in the jackpot forum.

DO NOT BE AFRAID.

Friendly reminder to all that this senile fool asked me to represent him multiple times and I declined each and every time. His claims get more and more bizarre.

Grifters like him gotta grift.

An interesting tidbit is that he initially typed normally when he first joined lp. I believe he had a psychotic breakdown that resulted in his crazy typing. His paranoia reached a certain point and he lost it. Now he is obsessed with financial institutions who are chasing him for bad debt. In psychology, it is called transference.

Maybe he can share his credit score with us???? Mine is 833-Equifax.
