What Would Grand Junction, Colorado Do With $30K?

What if, just for the sake of argument, you had to spend it on someone else? It could be a family member, a stranger, a friend, or an organization. Who would you give it to, and why? Here's a look at your responses, Part III.

Why Give It Away?

Do you remember ten years ago when our "Win Cash" winner gave away every penny? He used the winnings to fund a charity providing clothing to those in need. It's none of my business, but the winner in question did not strike me as being independently wealthy. I can't help but think he could have used the money for himself. Nevertheless, he chose to give every single cent to help others.

The website Kent-Teach.com offers the article, "Five Benefits of Giving." They begin with a scientific explanation as to why giving feels good. According to Kent-Teach.com, "It has been suggested that when we give to others, the hormone, oxytocin, is released and this induces feelings of warmth, euphoria, and connection to others." This is quickly followed with five far more practical reasons why giving feels so good:

Giving makes us feel happy
Giving is good for health
Giving helps social connection
Giving evokes gratitude
Giving is contagious

You Could Win $30K

If you were to win the $30,000, you certainly have every right to keep it for yourself. With everything people have been through the last three years, combined with the rising cost of everything, we could all use a chance to get ahead.
