+30 @oregonchick Some jackpots are "small" enough that I'd limit my sharing to basically my immediate family (parents and sister) because we've always agreed to split it. But a huge payoff, in the $100 million range? I'd definitely help my extended family and a few close friends who wouldn't try to take advantage of my newfound wealth. After the initial payout to me and getting checks (with a firm message about this being a one-time gift, so don't expect more) to family and friends, I think I'd continue to share the wealth in smaller ways: * Over-tipping servers and others who provide services to me * Picking up the check when out with friends * When I want to do an expensive activity, pay for my friend to participate with me (going to a day spa, upgrading travel arrangements to first class, attending concerts and other events, etc.) * Anonymously paying for other tables' meals or buying groceries for a person who looks like they could use a boost * Buying ridiculous and even ugly stuff at craft fairs and yard sales that are fundraisers for community groups * Hiding dollar bills in the dollar store (I read about someone doing this regularly in a town and nobody could figure out who was giving the cash away) * Playing Santa in some gift-giving way over the holidays Basically, a lot of small gestures and moments where I'd share the wealth just because I was inspired or because there's a sudden need (like a local nonprofit gets burglarized, so I replace their computers, or funding falls through for a school band trip and i cover the cost).

+28 @CocoaAlmondsRock Yes, but I'd help them -- and my family -- anonymously. No way I'd tell anyone that I won the lottery.

+22 @NoGrapefruit1851 I have one very close friend that I would give money to and stay in contact with. I also have a few people that I would give them some money but then I would disappear.

+17 @terryjuicelawson It would need to be in the form of buying them things, not hard cash. Paying off someone's mortgage, no strings attached. Paying for a bathroom refit. Maybe they run a business, a specific investment in it. While not revealing your winnings or even where it came from if you can. Problem could be if you hand over a million and they fuck it all up on drink and drugs then come looking for more handouts, you are kinda responsible.

+16 @-Arraro- id just pay for more stuff when we're together. i wouldn't tell them. just say I got a bonus or something and wanted to celebrate 

+13 @mastermanifesting Yes, I look forward to the day I can hand delivery a 6-7 Figure check to my best friend. He would do the same for me.

+12 @BangaloreM I have group chat of childhood friends I’ll pay off all their loans if I hit big

+11 @Physical_Grass_5342 Yes, a few of them—who always heard me, even in my silence...
