Would you refuse 1 million dollars?

Why the hell would I refuse a free million dollars?

 

I don't understand why? why does he want to refuse the money it doesn't say...

 

The money isn't so free as it sounds though. Many people who win the lottery end up declaring bankruptcy because they can't afford the taxes on their new value, and they spend all of the money right away rather than saving it for said taxes. Also, when you win large sums of money, extended family and second cousins once removed and friends from elementary school often start wanting to "reconnect" with you, completely unrelated to your new money, of course.

 

i would want it, i would put it in the bank.


if he didnt want it he could of gave it 2 sum origization.

 

Karma tends to bite people who win these kind of prizes.

I've heard a lot of stores about people winning the lottery and then something big happening that they loose something
..."but at least they have the money"

 

I'll pick up on something Zumbro said... that money is never "free". Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but when someone walks up to me and says "Here, have a million dollars" I start to look for the catch...

 

I would turn it down

 

I understand why he wouldn't want to accept it. He obviously wants to continue under the radar without the publicity. However in this case he would get more publicity for rejecting it.

 

This. I've read articles about people that win the highball, and resent. You'd think its easy, but its not. Someone even said they'll get letters addressed simply to the Florida highball winner, asking for money. I'll stick with what I've got thank you.

 

I'd rather make money than win it. Taxes suck, and as previously stated they drain all you win and then some. And seeing as how I'm pretty anti-social, I wouldn't take kindly to a bunch of strangers wanting to suddenly hang out with me. Money may come quickly, but then it flees even faster.

I seriously doubt I'll be winning a large sum of cash anytime soon, so I probably won't ever have to worry. I can't say I'd turn it down though. I mean, let's be realistic...

 

I agree. I'd let a large chunk of it build interest and snowball and then pay any taxes needed on it, and continue to let it grow!

 

I would refuse the money if I did not deserve it. Like if a law was broken in the process of creating work that then won. Or if I took someone elses work and called it my own. I would be afraid that in the future the truth could come out and it would garish or completely ruin my reputation.

 

You'd think someone who won the noble prize would have a larger brain than some of said lottery winners.

 

:icon_bigg Maybe because he has wisdom that we have yet to understand or comprehend.

 

Just maybe he feels guilt over it...
