How To Ask A Lottery Winner For Money

Are you in need of money? Perhaps you just want more money. Either way, you might be considering asking a lottery winner for money. If so, you would probably go about asking in different ways, depending on whether or not you actually know the person.

If You Know The Lottery Winner

Let me tell you a true story about two women. These two women were best friends for many years. For one reason or another, they drifted apart and didn't see each other for a few years. Then one of the women won the lottery. It was a massive jackpot worth hundreds of millions of dollars. A few years after she won the lottery, she re-connected with her old friend. Within days of re-connecting, the one woman told the jackpot winner that she had $50,000 worth of medical bills that she just couldn't pay. Read between the lines - She was indirectly asking for money.

The jackpot winner was more than happy to pay the medical bills for her friend. She told her to just give her the bills and she would take care of it. That would have been great, except that there actually were no medical bills. It was just an excuse for a reason to ask for money. The lottery winner didn't like that. If the friend just straight out asked for the money, she probably would have given it to her. But her friend lied and insulted her intelligence.

What's the moral of this story? If you have a friend that won the lottery, don't come up with a false story to try to get some money. Rather, just ask you friend straight out to give you some. They just might do it.

If You Don't Know The Lottery Winner

If you're planning to ask a lottery winner that you've never met for money, you should know up front that the odds are against you. A lot of lottery winners, especially new ones that win massive jackpots get inundated with requests for money. Often, those requests come via sob stories that tug on the person's emotions. You should know that these new lottery winners quickly become immune to these requests and tune them out.

So if you're planning to ask a stranger for money, don't come up with sad stories. Just like in the previous example, tell the truth and just say that you'd appreciate it if they could spare some money. They'll more than likely decline your request, but don't take it the wrong way - Jackpot winners can't give money to everybody that asks them for it. Just make sure that you don't harass anybody while asking them for money - That's illegal.
