MWhat Would You Do If You Won “The Big One”?
any of us dream about hitting “ e Big One” when we visit the casino. Perhaps you even daydream and imagine “What if...” just to get a feel of what it might be like to be an instant millionaire.
one step further and think about a long term goal for your money when you win.
ose winners who keep their money have a nancial plan to keep them from squandering it away. Some have given much thought ahead of time while, others have just been able to step back and think about the money instead of rushing o on a wild spending spree.
One of the most sensible solutions for dealing with a big nancial windfall is very simple yet practical. Put two thirds of the money you win into a bank CD or some other investment that you cannot touch for a full year. is will give you time to think about the money and formulate a plan for your nancial future.
You can still use a third of your winnings you didn’t lock away to celebrate and enjoy, but the rest of your money will be safe while you develop a plan to keep your new-found nancial freedom for the rest of your life.
I hope you hit the big one!
Until next time, remember: “Luck comes and goes...Knowledge Stays Forever.”

What Would You do if You Won a Million Dollar Slot Jackpot?
I’m sure many of you immediately think about buying that new car or house, paying o your mortgage or telling your boss what he could do with his job.
ese responses fall into the category of immediate grati cation, but they lack any long term plans for the future of your winnings.
I recently read a report that claimed over 70 percent of the people who win a million dollars in the lottery or at the casino end up with nothing left of their winnings within a ve year period. I admit I don’t know how the survey was conducted. At rst I thought it must be a misprint. However, after giving it some thought I can see how this might be a fairly accurate claim. e simple reason is that many people don’t have a long-term nancial plan for their winnings and by the time they develop one, the money is gone.
For every Warren Buffet who has parlayed a few dollars into millions, there are thousands who have done the opposite and turned millions into pennies. Why?
One explanation is that those who work to build their wealth have a di erent mind set about money than those who come into the money through winning a lucky jackpot or the lottery.
I know of many players who have had a win while playing at the casino, and they give it all back because they lack the discipline to lock up a pro t. Many of these players use the justi cation that they are
“playing with the casino’s money” when they get ahead. Nothing could be further from the truth. Once you win, it becomes your money. It doesn’t matter who it belonged to before. e casinos don’t look at their pro ts as Johnny Smith’s or May Jones’ money: it’s their money and they deposit into their bank.
Have a Plan
Dreaming and fantasizing about hitting a big jackpot is only natural for anyone who visits the casino. (The Secret is the top selling book in the country so I’m sure many more players are visualizing winning a big jackpot these days.) Fantasizing about winning a big jackpot is similar to the “What would you do if?” daydream, but in my question I’m asking you to go
