$20 million question spinoff...

would you take the money if you knew that people from your past would re-surface and want your "help"?

i've seen/heard this happen to lotto winners.

would you take the money knowing who would come out of the woodwork?

Yea I don't know... a lot of people who have won the lottery say that they wish they never did b/c of this.

I couldn't imagine anyone coming out of the woodwork in my family... so i'd take the $$!

nobody would know if I won lotto. Only DH and my immediate family. If they told a soul, they would get nothing.

the only other people would be my attorney and financial advisor.

Yes, mainly because I'd get really good at saying no to those people. Chat Icon

I would have no problem saying no to "family members".... If I didn't know you before the money, I don't know you after....

I would absolutely, without a doubt, indefinitely, take the money. And tell all those "resurfacers" to kiss off! Chat Icon

Re: $20 million question spinoff...

The good thing about people coming out of the woodwork is that they have been there once & could be "put back" there....KWIM?

I had the same idea, until I found out that lottery winners names are public knowledge. Chat Icon

Re: $20 million question spinoff...

This is funny. My best friend has told me repeatedly that if I ever come into any kind of 'real' money, she is going to assign herself the guardian of it. And I would TOTALLY let her. The reason is that I am a sucker. I would wind up giving every dime away and leave myself with nothing. It has happened.
