    When I won the lottery jackpot, I hired a financial team to assist me with such a huge amount of money, and I live on a budget that I stick too.... thankfully made smart investments and continued to live a practical lifestyle, no Manson or fancy cars, I have everything that I've ever dreamed and more... keep it on the down low, it makes life easier .

      I won $75,000 a few years ago and didn't tell anyone! Literally anyone including my wife. Now some people may not agree with that, I put it into a trust handle my a close friend who was in a tourney. I made anonymously donations to certain charities and I sent an anonymous check to my brothers and my parents for $5,000. They called me and asked about it and I denied any involvement...

    I personally know Jack Whittaker, bc he is from my hometown in WV. my father and him were friends.. At one time Jacks business was booming, when he won the lottery his business was on the verge of bankrupcy.. Instead of reinvesting into his one stable means of income, he closed the business costing around 100 West Virgina jobs.. He bought a helicopter, which crashed.. Bought is granddaughter a fast sports car, to which she died in.. But probably the most disturbing fact is he took 250k to a strip club, when the bouncer at the door told him he could not bring the money in, Jack hit The bouncer and got sued... Jeezzzz.

      The problem with a lot of people is that they don't know how to manage their money. It wouldn't matter if they made $50k per year or $5 million per year. They spend it just as fast as they earn it or even faster.
      To succeed with money is quite simple. Spend less than you make, pay your taxes and don't have children you can't afford to care for.

    The problem is most times those who win big don't have the business smarts to deal with it, nor are they mature enough to know what to do other than revel in their fantasies. A multi million dollar payout managed carefully can do a lot of good in this world, from giving to a lot of worthy charities to rewarding cash strapped businesses trying to really make the world a better place. God knows, self serving governments will never achieve that...
    When we all die, and look back at our lives, the legacy we leave as a result of being granted the privilege to live on this world, is the only thing that will provide us our small place in history. That history will be so much better if those who follow remember us as someone who truly "made a difference"

    I've always advised people who have won money to do the following:
    1. Hire a Financial Advisor (but NOT the bank)
    2. Hire an answering service to take your calls (90% will be beggars, liars and "distant" family)
    3. Instruct the service to take names and numbers. They are to tell the callers that their plight will be considered, but if they call a second time they will be blackballed.
    4. Take 5% and call it a celebration fund. Party, travel, buy a Ferrari etc. (depending on the size of the win, of course)
    5. If you are looking to buy a home, don't spend more than 25% of your winnings. Of course, this depends on the size of the winnings and your present financial circumstances, but it's a good rule of thumb.
    6. Promise yourself that you will live 1 year on the budget the Financial Advisor states you can afford. This is mostly advice for those with little self control. You know yourself. If you can get through the year you will have conditioned yourself to live at a level that you can afford. If you can't find happiness just in the fact that you never have to worry about money again, well...there's no making you happy.

      Buy a $5 one better chance of a big win!! I won $100 on a $2. Try to buy the one with highest top prize. New game new books in the stores are ..I call them "hook books" usually win most often. I've sold lottery in 2 states 🤪

      When I was in the US Navy I once entered an “Anchor Pool” (betting money on when the ship will actually drop it’s anchor, the one who is closest wins). I won $240.00. I honestly didn’t know what to do with it. I deposited it in my savings account in the NFCU and forgot all about it. We got back from a 6 month deployment and I was pleasantly surprised.

    Buying property isn’t dumb. It’s an asset that could even appreciate depending on what you bought. It’s the first thing I would do. Actually I would buy 2 properties. One to live in and another for the rental income.

      A $1000000 home is close to average here in NJ. Got several new ones right next door just put in about 2 years ago. Typical McMansions.

      You certainly have to run a big mansion and keep all those cars registered with insurance as well. Imagine how hard it will be to keep the mansion cooled or heated.

    In my case, even if people knew of my winnings, I would say one thing. I don't like to talk money with friends....it ruins the friendship. I would buy gold and silver as well. At least 20% of it

    Nothing new here. People who suddenly get a lot of money all too frequently just spent it all wildly, having the delusion that it's inexhaustible. And of course it isn't.

    I've never been able to afford a decent home for my children or myself. I would gift my children, and make them live off the interest, and buy a decent home and car. I would remain humble because I've never been able to not worry about money, so no way could I waste it

    assets over liabilities! how is it that high income folks that know how to function large sums of money keep it coming on, but folks that have lived cheque to cheque can't figure how to keep the money. I'm mostly sure I could figure out how to live off of the interest of 5-10 million.

      Some folks live paycheck to paycheck because they don’t know how to manage their money. Winning large sums of money won’t change that fact. Think about it: a person “living paycheck to paycheck” can’t actually afford to be spending money on lottery tickets, but they sacrifice that bill/potential savings money to gamble, so is it really a surprise that they’d blow millions?

    Why do people who have no idea about money and no purpose in life keep winning lotteries? I need a large amount of money for my work in animal rescue and to help other animal rescuers who struggle financially. I play the lottery often. Come on Universe. For all the good I've done and all the good I can do, it's my turn to win.
