You don't deserve 600,000,000 dollars.

[Autumn Colors]

36. Would I deserve it if .... ?

Like a lot of other people, I thought about what I'd do with that kind of money. My profession is dying due to a combination of electronic medical record systems, voice recognition software, and outsourcing of remaining medical dictation to India. I've already laid off everyone who had worked for me, dropped my health insurance, and lost my house to foreclosure.

Taking the lump sum, I'd still have enough left over to pay off all my debt and all the debt of my family and close ones, pay for my niece's college education, buy another house with cash, have enough to retire and still do THIS:

Donate $200 million to Occupy Wall Street's "Rolling Jubilee" (donate 30% for the tax deduction and then the balance after taxes).

That donation would wipe out 20x that amount (or $4 BILLION) of medical debt for people being helped by Rolling Jubilee.

Doing that, I'd still have a ridiculous amount left over (like $40-50 million) to take care of my list in paragraph 2. Still plenty left over to try to do something else worthwhile that would be ongoing and hopefully help others.

Do I still not deserve the jackpot?
