Says: What would I do if I won $50 million? When I was in grade 7 I came home to our apartment in Welland, late one night. I found a homeless woman sleeping in our hallway, where you buzz in to get access inside the building. I remember feeling so bad for her, as she glanced up to me with tear and shame in her eyes. I went upstairs and made her a sandwich and gave her a Candy Cane, because Christmas was a few weeks away. I gave her the sandwich and Candy Cane. She didnt say thank you allowed, but she did with her eyes. Since that day Ive always had a spot in my heart for the homeless. So my plan for winning the lotto has always been this. Id ask the government to match me dollar for dollar as I open up the first of hopefully many new homeless shelters. Unlike others. Mine would give each person living there, their own mailing address so they can get a job, welfare, or disability or any other help that they can only receive with a mailing address. Also in the shelter I would have a convenience store, laundry mat, and a fast food restaurant. To live in the shelter you have to work at each place for a minimum of 60 days. Training in each department. After that you move to a new position in one of the shelter business. Thus gaining work experience and building a resume. Any monies gained from these business go back into the shelter, making it more self sufficient. Not sure $50 million would cut it, but I think this is the best way to get homeless people back to a normal life and working as a productive member of society.
