Here's mine:
Apparently a giant load of cash would not bring out the best in you. If you won the lottery, you'd probably be torn between staying the decent, generous person you are now and letting the money corrupt you. You wouldn't become completely stingy and superficial, but you wouldn't be exactly the same person you are now either. Perhaps you would ditch some of the people in your life for flashier, more sophisticated versions, or would get a little gluttonous with the cash. You seem to have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, pulling you in two directions - to be a rich jerk, or not?
(I think my score was 78, but I forgot on the way back over here! LOL)

What a completely decent person you are! If you were so lucky as to win a huge chunk of mullah, you would be generous and stay the down-to-earth person you appear to be now. A lot of lottery winners would become stingy and reject many of the simple folk that stood by them over the years, regardless of their financial status. But not you! You would give as much as you could and remain loyal to the people in your life now. Money, you realize, is not the most important thing in life - you value your relationships and wouldn't want to jeopardize them for cash. Way to go!
(It should be taken into consideration, though, that most of my close friends have been so for almost/over 20 years ... so that messes with the results)

Wow, I got a 67. :thumbd:
I don't like those questions though. They don't measure motive behind reason. I'll post the questions and answer them the way I wanted to, with an explanation.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You win the $100 million dollar lottery jackpot and suddenly distant relatives start calling you up and asking for loans. Do you give them some?
yes no
**because they will just keep coming back for more and I would be facilitating their greed.
If you won the $60 million dollar lottery jackpot, would you tell off your boss?
yes no
** I like my job and I enjoy doing it.
If you won the $75 million dollar lottery jackpot, would you give 10% of your winnings to your best friend?
yes no
** Unless you're talking about Jesus
If you hit the $10 million dollar lottery jackpot, what's the first thing you'd spend it on:
Expensive sports car
Big Mansion
Plastic surgery
** The best I could find. I'd really do none of these.
A friend buys you a lottery ticket and you wind up winning the $50 million jackpot. Do you:
Split it 50/50 with them.
Keep all the money for yourself.
Buy them the expensive car they've always wanted.
** was it a birthday gift or just a whim purchase? I'd let him decide what to do.
If you won the $100 million dollar lottery jackpot, would you give at least 20% of you winnings to charity?
yes no
** I'd build a youth center for my youth group to enjoy
If you won the $100 million dollar lottery jackpot, would you trade you current significant other for someone much better looking?
yes no
** There is no better looking than my wife (IMHO)
If you won the $100 million dollar lottery jackpot, would you trade in your old poor friends for rich new ones?
yes no
**Friends are the ones who are with you "for richer or poorer"
If your significant other lost your winning lottery ticket, would you break up with them?
yes no
**Money never bought happiness. Money would make some stuff better, but I'd rather not have a gob of it. Too tempting to do something stupid.
Do you really think you've got a chance when you buy a lottery ticket?
yes no

If I won 200 million, I'd build a giant internet facility and host Tweb for free. Maybe free for some "atheist" sites as well. Plus give all my neighbors free access and computers if needed.
I'd put a heliport in the yard (7 acres) and have RumTum be my travel agent for chartered flight and accomodations. Mommy could keep the books for my "whimsy" spending. Moss and Sher would be my publicists and TWeb coordinators. Xavier - my "spiritual" advisor. All with good salaries, health benefits and retirement.
Tweb management would get the latest "super" laptop - all of them.
I'd visit most of Tweb putting a face on the PalTalk voice and typed posts.
I'd host a week in Orlando (or a cruise) for Tweb - succesive weeks if the demand is great enough.
Simular for family!
I'd definetly get my yard seeded, put in a garden and make my car a "lawn sulpture" (I am in the "poor" south)
I've given this quite some thought. I really should buy a ticket now and then but it is fun to dream pure fanatasy.

My wife got an 83. I got a 94. The difference is she's got a brother who'd she'd never give money to.

Just for fun, here's what it says if you were to get a zero:
"You've heard of poor losers, right? Well, apparently you're a poor winner. If you suddenly had the big bucks, you'd become tight-fisted and greedy. In fact, you would transform into a shallow back-stabber the moment you laid eyes on the dough. You'd likely turn away from the people who stood by you when you were penniless, and start behaving in ways you wouldn't have before. The money would change you... for the worse! (Unless, of course, this is the way you are now!) Obviously you think that money can buy happiness, and you would cling to those greenbacks like they were the center of your world. Tsk Tsk!"

I got a 94, although my actual behavior, should I actually win the lotto, would probably be a little worse. You never know how you'll respond to that kind of thing until the situation is right up there in your face.
Although money really doesn't matter to me. Which isn't completely a good thing, because my disregard for the stuff is wiping out my bank account. It's not that I spend a lot -- I spend very little on myself -- it's just that I, um, don't have a job. (It's not as bad as it sounds. I'll move out of my parents' house when I graduate high school, just like everyone else.)

One thing lottery winners find is that people they thought were friends start asking them for money. So do various family members.
For that reason, I wouldn't give any away to them. If they don't like me for who I am, they can lump it.
Yes, I'd give a lot to charity, maybe even start my own.
I don't like work enough to stay, but I would at least be polite and give two weeks notice after I'd gotten my financial arrangements in order.
I'd go for the expensive car.
No, I wouldn't give the friend who bought me a ticket half. I might buy them the nice car, tho.
No, I wouldn't change friends or get a new spouse.
Why is it that I'm a bad lotto winner, if I don't give money to people who beg for it?
