When thinking of winning the lottery most people would automatically think about what they would spend their money on though my question is would winning the lottery really change you?
Yes, if I won the lottery I would be able to spend money on thinks I can only dream of at the moment though I dont think it would really change me. I would still want to help others and with money I could easier both with friend and family and charities. I love hunting around places like car boot sales for bargains and I still would as it is something I enjoy. I would be the same person and at the moment I prefer to buy things for others over myself and even with a lot of money I would still do that.
What about you?

Hiya...
I think that the only way winning the lottery would change me, would be to make me more relaxed, as I would not struggle to find the money to pay for the bills. Other than that, I would still be the same person to everyone, I can't imagine that any amount of money would change me as a person, and like you I would also carry on buying things for others more than myself, because that is how I have always been, even if I have had hardly any cash.

We never think that winning a prize in the lottery will change us. Somehow it does happen. Our attitudes and behavior can go a bit above and beyond what they should. Someone could also be waiting in the wings to help share our lottery prize. Dealing with such a situation has to have an impact on your life.

Hi, elfbwillow
I agree with you if I won the lottery it would not change me at all, I also like to buy things for my family over my self and I will even give money to a homeless man. I would give money to a really good charity if I could win the lottery some day or even have a place for teen age kids to hang out instead of being in the streets. And I would definetely buy a few houses for all of my sister's brother's and my kids and even give them money to help them out financially. This is what I would do if I ever win the lottery.

Hi Elfbwiilow, Winning the lottery wouldn't change me but it would change my lifestyle, I would be able to go round the shop and buy the food I wanted ratgher tahn look forwhat is on offer, if a bill came it I couldpay it straight away, I would be able to help others when needed so yes it would change my life but I would remain the same. Huggles. Ellie :D

Well there are things that I want to do that I cannot considering that I do not have the resources to do so. I will surely do such things if ever I win the lottery. Well, I would be lying if I do not buy things for myself and for my family. There are needs and wants. But I also have this plan of helping those that are in need. It might not be financial in nature but rather services and helping them improve their lives on matters such as livelihood and education.

When lottery winners say 'It won't change my life!' I always think why have you done the lottery then, because if winning a fortune doesn't change you - you must have been financially secure life!
Of course it would change me, it would change me that I wasn't constantly worrying about bills, the future, my families future.
It would change me because just the thought of buying myself a pair of new shoes wouldn't mean juggling what little money I have available.
I hope that it wouldn't change my personality (only for the better because I would be free of financial worries)and I certainly wouldn't become a prima donna overnight.
