The first thing he and anyone needs to do when they win a sum o money that large is get a good financial adviser, or else they'll spend themselves into oblivion. It happens a lot. I know that's the first thing I'd do.

I just hope he doesn't spend it all. It sounds like he's somewhat of a smart guy. Like seeking financial advise about what to do, and not over doing it for a celebration (taking his kids to Disney Word? He really sounds like a a good guy). I hope he doesn't to stupid things, and just lives out the rest of his life as a conferable middlecass man with no cares in the world. I mean, if I won the lottery (which would be impossible because I think buying lottery tickets are dumb. Maybe that explains why financially smart people never win the lottery). I'd just use the money to pay for college, buy a house, buy a decent car, and buy a wedding ring (I don't even have a girlfriend). Then I'd save the rest until I was out of college and could invest in my own business.
People that know about money? I feel horrible for him. More than likely they're going to take his money.
I bet his ex tries to marry him back. And hes going to find about 350 lost family members and they all need loans.
[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;21529063]I bet his ex tries to marry him back. And hes going to find about 350 lost family members and they all need loans.[/QUOTE] Chances are, they actually do.
[QUOTE=LCBADs;21529554]Chances are, they actually do.[/QUOTE] Spent all their money on dip, trucks, and guns.
I don't see how you can spend that much money....
This is not suspicious at all. We just wnet through this up here in Canada where convienence store workwers were far more likely to win jackpots because when they were doing dick-all they were printing lottery tickets. By the way, a trip to the ISS costs about $50 million.
Is this before or after the government gets half of it?
[QUOTE=Waals Vander;21526548]most peoples lives end up getting pretty fucked up when they win the lottery.[/QUOTE] You watch too many movies. This is a great thing for him.
I love what he says - bills, his kids to disneyland, get his teeth fixed, pay back his friends... thats nice - simple and nothing like 'IMMA GET ME A BIGASS CAR' - even though he will. but still, congratulations to him.
It's good to see it going to someone like this, most of them know the value of a dollar.
A hard working person who caught a break. Good, i hope he can give his family everything they wanted and more. I just hope he doesn't let it get to his head, but someone with nothing and goes to having everything don't usually have that problem.
[QUOTE=pentium;21530761]By the way, a trip to the ISS costs about $50 million.[/QUOTE] that program was cancelled unfortunately. so even if you have the $50 mil, you wouldnt be able to go to the iss :(
[QUOTE=lulzbocks;21526610]Wasn't one guy found buried 10 feet in concrete in the middle of a forest?[/QUOTE] yea, never release your name if you win the lottery. hell, change your name, grow a beard, change your face, move, etc
He sounds stupid, he's already made the mistake of telling the news and telling them his name, where he lives and how much he's won. If I ever won it I would claim the money via proxy and not tell anyone unless I was very sure they wouldn't tell anyone else.
He could buy some teeth
Have fun with your heaps of money, hope you enjoy it :buddy:
My name is Earl.
[QUOTE=saucekeg;21526464]if hes smart he'll invest some of the money[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]He also plans to seek advice "from people who know about money"...[/QUOTE] Those financial advisers will make sure he's fine. What a feel-good story. :) [editline]09:05AM[/editline] [QUOTE=evilweazel;21530885]Is this before or after the government gets half of it?[/QUOTE] They get $6,000,000 of it [B]if he takes the lump sum[/B], read the OP.
If I ever win the lottery, as hard as it is, I would never tell anyone. I wouldn't risk getting my life fucked up by other people.
It's funny because this guy is 10x richer than most porn stars, but he didn't expose himself for it.
Yeah, all he needs to do is take it all and put it in a bank. The interest will damn give him one hell of a life. I wish I was his daughter T_T
I hope people don't screw him over, damn.
He should invest in some more lottery tickets. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTLtToTGXrk[/media]
I hope his life doesn't go to shit, and that the money doesn't lead to his demise.
Everybody here who is acting concerned is secretly jealous.
Haven't nearly all recent lottery winners been found dead under suspicious circumstances lately?
