I think this question is interesting because it presents a choice between two things which have been universally coveted throughout human history: Money and power and all that they bring. Many dream of becoming rich or president and the more dedicated spend their lives working towards it. Both are tough goals that few achieve, although becoming a mega-millionaire seems like the more attainable of the two.
So what would I rather have: 200 million dollars or the President of a country for 4 years?

Hi there!happy

I would also choose winning the lottery.. To me being rich automatically would make me powerful. Being able to have everything I like is already power. Besides, I wouldn't dream of giving myself a headache by becoming a President heherasp.

Ciao! wink

I think I would rather win the lottery than be the president. Although while it is that everyone says they would like to be the president, I think it has too many responsibility. And if you were to honestly think back to all the presidents there are very few that were liked or appreciated for what they did. At least with winning the lottery you could possibly hide it from most people and be able to enjoy it as to where when you are the president everything you do is under a magnifying glass and I couldn't handle that...I like my privacy and think that my life and actions should be mine to judge and not everyone elses.

I would rather win the lottery than be the President of the country, Being a president takes alot of responsibilities. I would rather live in a stressless life than stress myself to all the problems of the society. WEll come on lets be REal! Why live in a stressful life If you can make it easy! thumbup

I'd rather win the lottery because i know it myself that i wouldn't be a good candidate to represent a country...I don't think i have that much leadership quality in me to actually assume the role of a president. It's too scary and with all the weight of the whole nation falling on my shoulders, i'd rather win the lottery and lead a more carefree life..lol just an opinion though^_^ takecare~

I would definitely rather win the lottery! Being president is not as powerful as being in Congress or the Senate. Winning the lottery would allow you to be in control of your own money without opposition or vetos.

I would definitely rather have the $200 million. Being president is great for the people who can handle it, a group I don't belong to. That is way to much responsibility and stress for my tastes.

I agree with you... very interesting question. My answer though is winning the lottery because it will give a chance not just to spend but try to invest my money better. As for being a President, well it's a very important role and it all depends what type of trouble the country would be going through. Some countries don't give the president's role as much importance as it is given in the Usa


myLot reputation of 98/100. ktosea (1263)   ranked 439 out of 35,339 in people  8 months ago

yeah,most of us choose to win the lottery rather than to be a president.

Oh I'd rather be president for 4 years. A corrupt polition can skim off a lot more than $200 million from an entire country in that time! Thats chickenfeed in terms of the amount of money sloshing about in most countries economies.
