Dear Powerball lottery winners,

Hi there. My name is Al. First and foremost, congratulations. Your life will never be the same.

I’m not poor, and I’m not rich. And I don’t want your money. I just want you to think about all that money you have and what you could do with that.

For starters, do something you’ve always wanted to do (except hunt game – that’s just dumb).

Charter a private jet to take you and your spouse somewhere for a romantic weekend getaway.

Pay off your mortgage. Already paid off? Pay off a random strangers – how fricken cool would that be?

Invest some of it in gold and silver.

Give some to family.

Donate some.

You’re going to have a lot of money, and a lot of new friends. Hopefully you’re a down to earth person that understands the concept of “easy come – easy go”. So enjoy your moment.

But please…

Don’t get carried away buying a bunch of stuff. Stuff will only make you temporarily happy. Spend it on some experiences you’ll remember forever. And take pictures along the way.

Now go sell all your stuff!
