Q222. If you could win a lot of money, how much would you want to win and why? A. Sample Answer If I won the lottery, I would want to win one million dollars. The first reason is because lottery
winnings get taxed. I want to win enough money so that I can still pay off my debts after much of the
cash is lost to taxes. I owe money to many people. For example, I owe money to many of my friends
who lent me money to buy an iPad, iPod, Macbook, and iPhone 5. I also owe my parents who paid to
fix my car after I hit a mailbox and dented the front of it. Lastly, I owe money to the government
because they loaned me money for college. Secondly, I think one million dollars is sufficient for my
needs. My money management skills aren’t the best yet. I feel that if I won a lot more than that, I
would waste money on frivolous things that I don’t want or need. Plus, I want to be able to use up all
of my winnings fairly quickly so I don’t have a long line of people at my door asking me to lend them
money. I just want enough to pay off my debts. After all, money is the root of all evil. So, if I won the
lottery, I think winning one million dollars would be perfect.
