lol if i won that much, i would take 200mil, and give the rest to friends and family.
Or go around the neighborhood throwing bundles of money at people's homes.
Mistake number one is not claiming the money anonymously.
He'll piss it all away and be dirt poor again in a few years. That is, if someone doesn't rob him blind or stab him first.
Plenty of lottery winners are well off. I saw a documentary about a couple that won the lottery that is doing just fine.
If anything, I'd prefer someone like him to win over someone that is financially stable. Sure, he can squander it all away, but at least he gets a second chance at life, a fresh start. Everybody could use more money, but I'm happy that someone who is in a really tough spot won. I don't play the lottery because while I could use the money, I don't need it as much as others do.

Great, this time it's real...
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21526397]Now watch him squander that money and be poor in two years.[/QUOTE]
cept he can't. Cause lottery doesn't pay out in a lump sum its so much every month or something.
That's really nice of him to take his kids to Disney land. Also a smart thing to do by getting someone who's good with money to help him out. I hope he doesn't turn out like most of the other lottery winners, broke, alone, and addicted to drugs. Money does have a way of changing people.

He's still getting it about 300k at a time dude, just being given 1,000 a month is enough to waste it.
I'm glad that he won't have to worry about his financial issues anymore, but I can't help but dislike the fact that this much money is being given to a single human being in particular. This could be used to help hundreds to thousands of people with the same problems the winner had.
[QUOTE=Waals Vander;21526548]most peoples lives end up getting pretty fucked up when they win the lottery.[/QUOTE]
I wish I had those problems
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21526397]Now watch him squander that money and be poor in two years.[/QUOTE]
If he has any sense he'll take the yearly payments.
He should have never come forward publicly. Now all his sisters and cousins will say they're pregnant with his child and want some of his money :(

But his sisters and cousins ARE pregnant with his child.
I want that much money.
Really really badly.

Why can't I win the lottery? I would just buy the best computer money could buy and chill at home with a personal chef.

Man I would find it so hard to squander 258 million dollars. That's a lot of fuckin money.

Pfft. That's easy. Buy part/all of a city.
One of my teachers told me about this and said that his face is priceless, and holy shit it is.
You can't help but wonder what his ex-wife is thinking right now.
"Oh I missed you so much. Let's get back together."
[QUOTE=wulfe8857;21551898]Pfft. That's easy. Buy part/all of a city.[/QUOTE]
Why would anyone want to do that though? I'd rather just use that kind of money to continually support myself and buy a few expensive things that I liked. Maybe at the most an expensive car.
[QUOTE=pentium;21530761]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.[/QUOTE]

If I won the lottery I would buy a top hat, monocle, cane, and a towering pillar of hats.
