From Grace to Grace - The Tale Of A Lottery Winner

(Edited)

Just try this one last time, you might get lucky!
Nancy said again.

Okay, just this last time and I'm done!
I replied as I bought one ticket.

I was so sure I wasn't going to get any luck again and then the sound came, the celebration song with my profile and the money prize on a huge display. Congrats! You won the lottery!

For the first few minutes, I was dumbfounded and then, I woke up to my sweet reality, screamed so loudly and in awe of what had just happened to my life. It was a grace to grace situation as I wasn't in need before but I have way too much now to ever complain about money.

Immediately I got the alert of the money kept safe in my name, I knew I had to be extra careful as I've heard of people who went back to their former financial statue even after winning a lottery because they squander everything.

Me: Good day, Mr Money Guide
Yes please, I'll need your guide on how to maximize the use of my money to avoid any regrets.

Mr Money Guide: You came to the right place, many would have just start spending without having a good plan.

That was how my conversation began with a financial advisor whose nickname was known to be Mr Money Guide. I was too bothered about the fact that I could become a victim of "Money changing it's owner for the worst" so I thought it wise to not only pray and give to God out of it to thank Him for my new big change but also asked the help of an experienced financial advisor.

His first suggestion among many plans suggested was, Have you paid all your debts? It's only right and wise to start from there.

I had no debt as I've been living well enough to cater for what I needed, I even checked my parents and siblings if they had outstanding debts to be paid off but it turned out we have all the money won to ourselves for other things.

The next thing I did was make a huge and promising investment as I've been doing my researches and figured good investments but had no money to go ahead with them. One of the investments was taking my Hive account from the dolphin stage to a whale account that had the highest Hive power.

I kept some for emergency fund, also opened a retirement account and sent a very good amount into it with the plan of saving more as I continue to earn money. And then, I bought a house for my family. More sources of money have been set so all that was left is making sure my family and I are in good comfort.

Let's go on a trip for long and memorable vacation!
I announced to my family excitedly.

I had made sure I gave my family relatives and friends some good amount of money that would help push their lives significantly. My family and I went on the trip and I found myself visiting a lot of new places with money not being a problem to try out anything that asked for money. We lodged at a good hotel and had the best times traveling and touring the world as a family.

While I was at it enjoying my new life, I sent donations to orphanage homes and NGOs monthly as another way to say thanks to my God for His Grace and providence.

And with all these wealth, I came up with an estate plan. I wouldn't want anything to happen to me and not have someone have access to all that I owned. I decided to establish my parents and siblings in what they love to do to earn money.

The idea of having an estate plan is to keep my wealth going from generation to generations as I have made sure by God's grace to have my wealth growing. Having to live life in wealth and leaving it behind for those who deserve it regardless of how they will handle it when I'm gone, it's still a good plan for me.

From a lottery winner, I lived the best life and my family and those around me tasted of the wonder of winning a lottery and having a good plan for it after.

This is my response to the #neoxianprompt initiative and you're invited to participate too.

The excitement of winning the lottery can be felt. It is so wise to get a financial advisor and to set up an estate plan. Great that you also took care of your family and friens and also spent time enjoying your winnings. Your life changing lottery prize will also change the life of many including orphans - that is so philantropic.

The way you creatively approach this prompt is admirable. Saving for retirement was a good thought you had, then ensuring that your family feels that you won a lottery through the soft life set down already is something fantastic. You didn't only thought of yourself and your family but for the orphanage too, really nice

How much money are we talking about here? So I will know how much I will bill you 😅 The way you wrote this article it's like it has already happened and you have the money sitting somewhere in your account. I love the perspective you took as well as the plan you developed on how to utilize the money, and you even started by paying off your debts which is something that many people ignore and fail to do when they come into a lot of money

I love it. It goes smoothly.

It is a good thing to investment in something tangible. Also, it is a wise decision to have an advisor because we don’t want to make bad choice.

I’m happy that you stretch the hand of love to others.
