Will you donate half your money to the city so they have to name a street or a school or a park after you?

Well I lost an eye in Mexico
Lost two teeth where I don't know
People see me comin' and they move to the other side
of the road.
I robbed a liquor store
To make myself at home a few times
Borrowed myself a car when I needed it.
I got me a shack at the bottom of the road
Fixin' cars and givin' tows
Spend all my money on the lottery.
When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block
A color TV and a bottle of French perfume
When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to
the city
So they have to name a street or a school or a park
after me
When I win the lottery
Never run a flag up a pole
Like Mr. Red, White, and Blue down the road
But I never called myself a hero for killing a known
communist.
Now I can walk into any old bar
Find a fight without looking too hard
But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause
someone told me to.
And when I win the lottery
Gonna buy the house next to Mr. Red, White and Blue
And when I win the lottery
Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with
five gold stars.
When I win the lottery.
When the end comes to this old world
The rocks will cry and the rest will curl up
And God won't take the time to sort your *** from
mine.
'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad
Stumble and fall on right and wrong
'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw
just leads us on.
And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls
on my block
Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest
highland scotch
'Cause when I win the lottery, the rocks will shake
their heads and say that
God is good but surely works in mysterious ways.
When I win the lottery.

I like the idea of donating money, but I wouldn't donate it to my local city. The government will take nearly 50% off my lottery winnings before I even get my share. I'm not going to give them any more. If I donate any money to charity it would be something where I could see the money help needy people - like a church, synagogue, or non-profit organization. Or better yet, if I win enough money I'll start my own charity. That way I can have direct involvement in how I want to have my money used.

Probably not. I would use it to pay for my education. And even if I did donate my money, I wouldn't do it just so they would name a street or a park after me.

i would donate half to local charities, and then the organisers of the charities may approach the city council, and request that a street or a park be named after me.

Yes, I would donate money to a charity or something, but not to have a place named after me.

No. BUt I am going to buy 400 acres and build a couple of nice houses to open a no-kill animal shelter and let a couple of vets live in the houses free of charge.

It would depend on the amount of the winnings. How much money we talkin'? I would help out my family, church, and the community. If it came down to having anything named on my behalf, I would leave it up to my community.
