I don’t play the lotto, but I do enjoy a certain cable channel’s sweepstakes. Years ago, I came home from and found my siblings chatting after lunch. When I joined them, one of my sibs said that they were discussing what they would do if they won. They were talking about paying off the families’ debt. (Student loans and credit card debt, plus our parents’ mortgage.)I responded that that hadn’t occurred to me and pointed out that after taxes the prize wasn’t all that large. One sib was very upset that I was so selfish. :/ I’m not sure but that that incident has caused permanent damage to our relationship. :(
