Assume you have just won the lottery and have some cash to invest in a publicly traded company. If you could have access to only one of the four required financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, or statement of retained earnings), which would be the most useful to you? Explain your answer.

Need some pointers to submit a well thought out response. If you can point me in the right direction, I can exploit on what you give back to me, thanks!
