What would you do if you won a million dollars or pounds or euro's ?
For instance you could save them, put them in a bank and wait till you are as rich as the richest man in the world. How many years do you think that would take ? Let's say the interest rate you will be receiving is 5% a year and lets assume you won a million dollars.
