The Six Lottery Winners- With A Big Heart

Have you ever thought that if you are declared a lottery winner what will you do with your money? Suppose you win a huge jackpot of say $30 million, how will you spend this much of money? Will you buy a big real estate, have all the things done which you once dream of or will you store it in a safe place and preserve the cash. Your answers might be clicking to the idea of spending the way you want buying things or having fun out of your winning amount. But you will be surprised to know that where there are people with their own selfish interest with the money they go there are also  lots of lottery winners who give away their entire jackpot wins to the people in need.
