You don’t really want to win a billion dollars
The Powerball Lottery is now up over $850,000,000.
That's nearly a billion dollars.
A billion.
That's A LOT more money than most people will earn in several lifetimes
The average American earns just under $2 million in a lifetime.
So, to have a windfall like this is unimaginable to most. And for many, it would not be the blessing that they think.
As a matter of fact, SEVEN out of TEN lottery winners end up bankrupt! For me, I'd rather have a small win.
A few extra dollars to pay some bills, maybe buy a car, or pay off a credit card debt.
As you know, the Jersey Cash Code Contest is back and you could win up to $30,000! Now that's a great amount to win. Doesn't change your life, won't create any new friends just looking for a handout.
It's a perfect win.
For me, I'd save a third, give a third to the kids and spend a third on a getaway.
What would you do with $30,000?
