You hear of the people who win big in the lottery and the suffering they go through. If you won the lottery what would you do. I would move to a different part of the country and tell everyone I was a consultant and had to travel a lot. I would not flash the money around but would set up a private foundation and use that money to help people I choose to help. I would also help my extended family by providing an IRA for them to provide extra money in their retirement. What would you do?

First, I will pay out all my debts. Then Part of it I will invest in a good running business so that the money multiplies every year. This income source will provide for my charity activity. I will not create a foundation, as I do not like the hustle of doing administration work, report to the tax, etc. The rest of the money I will use to help my family and to enjoy life.

Like you I would set up a foundation for kids with OMPHALOCOELE. Our daughter had this at birth and has undergone 16 operations until age 1. Then I would secure her future and a couple more millions for any future kids. I would also pay any debt we have. Then I would secure my husband and my future. I would give to charity and to our families. Then use some money to travel and enjoy. I'd make sure the people I would leave behind will have a comfortable life. :)
