If you won the lottery, would you share the money with family and friends or would you keep it all to yourself? Why?

I'd be sharing it with ever who I felt needed it at the time, coz it's nice to help people :)
-
Well..... Considering there's only three people in my life that have stuck by me through thick and thin, my share list is rather short. I would form a "Family Partnership" and THEY would be part of it. Anyone outside that circle would just be S.O.L. !! I WOULD however donate to certain charities .
-
Of course I would share it with others. I'm not THAT greedy. :o)
-
I don't have any family or friends. And even if I did, I would not share it. Everyone needs something, everyone has bills, etc. So like WHO wouldn't want you to help them out ya know?... after Uncle Sam gets his HUGE chunk, I would want every penny.
-
I would keep it all to myself for distribution as needed or desired to family first I would share travel, good times with friends but I would not give away cash.
-
My closest relatives and my inner circle would be having some fun
-
I would with certain family and friends.
-
I'd share. Gotta take care of my peeps.
-
I would share it with my one and only true friend. My family will be a**ed out. They use me enough now that they hit the lotto when i was born.....
-
Share it. They helped get you here, help them out.
-
Share. I wouldn't know what to do with all the money.
-
Eh, I'll buy lunch.
-
the reason why i want to win is so that i can help others. there is no way i'd not give....it would be wrong, i feel
-
i would buy my mum a house me and my fiance a house give some 2 my faveroute charities and take the closest people around me on a trip of a lifetime
-
Depends on the amount. If it was 50 mil (after taxes around 25 mil) I might share it. Depends on who needs it. I'm not going to go giving money away to be a nice guy, thats just not me. If however there was a medical emergency, or something of that nature, or possibly they needed capital to start a business, I might help out.
-
I have never had a lot, but I have always been generous with what I did have, I see no reason why that would change. I could be generous on a larger scale. :-)
-
I'd share it. I have a list and it's quite long, actually, for if I ever win.
-
I would share it with my sister. My brother can fuck off! He wouldn't get a penny!
-
My Mommy taught me to share.:)
-
I would pay off my bills...buy myself a home...I have no family at least that care about me...I would probably help a friend or two that I knew needed help before I had won the lottery...The rest I would spend on me...I have had to struggle all my life and I would figure it would be my time to enjoy life for awhile. Do I sound selfish...maybe so; but no one has helped me much during my life I have paid my own way always. It is others who have screwed me out of most of what I had.
-
family and friends that have actually impacted my life.
-
I would share it with my family, especially my mother. What's the point of having so much money anyway? We can't take it to our graves.
-
Our family and Friends (we've already discussed who) would have their mortgages paid.
-
Only the people who shared the house with me growing up. Love'em or don't they're my family. All others are just peripheral and superfluous. Gold diggers, fair weather friends, work colleagues, acquaintances and associates, distant relatives and all the others, wouldn't give you a second thought or a moment's notice but for your good fortune.
-
I've been on the receiving end of a sister winning a million pounds and not sharing at all with her family. Its not nice. I have and always will share.
-
yea i would because when you do something good for people good things happen to you.
-
in a round about way, yes, no one would know I won I would establish a blind trust my family members would start winn contests that they dind't enter
-
I'd keep only enough for me to have money eyarly. The rest for charities as they can sue it better and my siblings have jobs, houses and cars and food. They really don't need to have bundles, nor do I. Sooooo wow...is this a good humble answer? I really worked on it...
-
I will share but I will not go hand out cash to people. I will rather pay off my house and anonymously pay off my mom or friends house. I don't think I will let anyone know if I win the lotto. I will never stop helping people but just giving for the sake of giving can also be bad for others. People need to also learn to work hard and appreciate what they got. Besides if people know you won the lotto, you will never know who is real around you and who not. Money goes to peoples heads.
-
First I'd tithe, then put half of what's left in savings and investments to sustain me and the other half I'd divide between my family and friends for things they will get a lot of use from to improve their lives not just give it to them to blow.
