Assignment:
After reading the Down-to-Earth Sociology box? The Big Win: Life After the Lottery, discuss how your life would change if you won a lottery for $100 million or more. How would your present personal relationships change? Would you change your course of study or even drop out of school? What would be your initial splurge of spending? Do you feel it may be better for you to win only a small lottery of several hundred thousand dollars? If you know of anyone who has won a large lottery, share with the class how their life changed. Finally, do you believe money can buy happiness? Explain the reason for your answer.
