If I win the lottery....

[IV]

Yup, i'll post 10 stories of international lottery winners.. this honestly makes me not wanna win it, genuine.

1. Jack Whittaker won a record $314.9m Powerball jackpot in 2002.
But life since then has been a long list of arrests, lawsuits, broken relationships and even death. In 2007, his then wife, Jewell admitted she wished she had ‘torn up the ticket’.

2. William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988.
He later described the experience as a ‘nightmare’ and wishes it had never happened – who can blame him after he was sued by a former girlfriend eager to get her hands on the cash and his brother hired a hitman in the hope of inheriting the winnings. He invested in ill-fated family businesses and within a year was $1m in debt. Today he gets by on social security payments.

3. Luke Pittard from Wales won a ‘measly’ £1.3m on the National Lottery.
After the novelty had worn off and the obligatory lavish holiday, wedding and new home were done and dusted, he got bored and returned to work at MacDonalds.

4. An as-yet-unnamed Sicilian won £79m on the Italian lottery in 2008.
Before he or she could even collect the winnings consumer groups were demanding that the windfall be seized by the government. The winner has since gone into hiding, fearing the Mafia will come calling.

5. Janite Lee won $18 million in 1993.
Her generosity in giving money to a variety of political, educational and community causes was commendable – but just eight years later she filed for bankruptcy.

6. Mark Gardiner from London won £11m in 1995.
Thirteen miserable years later, he hasn’t lost his money, but he has lost all his friends - even the ones he treated to new £100,000 homes – and lost touch with his family.

7. Michael Carroll won a £9.7m National Lottery jackpot in 2002.
Since then he has appeared in court more than 30 times and been jailed for drug related offences. In 2008, he admitted that ‘just’ £500,000 of his windfall remained.

8. Willie Hurt won $3.1 million in 1989.
Two years later the money was gone and he was on a murder charge. Hurt spent his fortune on a divorce and crack cocaine.

9. Charles Riddle won $1 million in 1975.
The original lottery car crash, he quickly got divorced, faced several lawsuits and was eventually indicted for selling cocaine.

10. Ken Proxmire won $1 million in the Michigan lottery.
He moved to California, and invested in a car business with his brothers. Five years later, he was bankrupt and back working as a machinist.


I've heard a couple winners even attempted/committed suicide.

If I win any large amount in the lotto, the first thing I'm doing even before helping out friends and family is hiring a financial consultant. Someone that will tell me the best businesses to invest in so that I can continue to make more money. I'd also be looking into how to make money from my own talents and what talents I'd need to acquire in order to effectively manage my new-found fortune. I'd probably end up going back to school. 177 million can be spent in a day if you're not careful. If you all of a sudden acquire a luxurious lifestyle without any means of having more income coming in, that money will be spent before you know it.

That's some real talk right there.

If I were to win a significant lottery jackpot, my first step, before assisting friends and family, would be to hire a financial consultant. I'd seek expert advice on the best investment opportunities to grow my wealth further. Additionally, I'd explore how to monetize my skills and identify new talents I need to manage my newfound fortune effectively. I might even consider going back to school. With $177 million, it’s easy to spend recklessly without a solid plan for generating ongoing income, so careful management is crucial.
