Lotto Winner

Most of us fantasize at some point about sudden wealth. What if it was us who won a big-money contest, or the lottery, or inherited untold riches? Well, it does happen; what if it happens to you?

If you happen to be a lotto winner your life is never going to be the same again. Not only your life, but the lives of friends and relatives will also change — and the change may not always be for the best. Incredible things have happened to people who have suddenly attained the status of being a lotto winner.

Whether you drew the winning numbers yourself or used the windows lotto pro software, the fact is that you will be richer by tens of millions of pounds or euros, and things will start to change almost immediately.

Winning a record prize of £ 11 million, Mark Gardiner was sure that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his present problems vanished, he got into new ones that he was not trained for or capable of handling. With his business partner, friend Paul Maddison, Mark won the jackpot. Together the two of them won a record £ 22 million; Mark’s share was £ 11 million. Shunning the limelight, Paul faded into the background while Mark decided to have some fun.

Before he could believe it, Mark blew half of his winnings. As he gave to friends and relatives, bought expensive cars and houses, married and then divorced, his problems never seemed to end. His family rejected him almost as if he had committed a crime. Finally, now wiser, Mark regained his bearings and remarried his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, whom he had divorced when he was penniless.

Nevertheless, not all stories are as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been a great many people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won a life-changing £ 7,055,142. After the understandable screaming in disbelief she settled down and called her boyfriend and family and shared the news with them. Ianthe intends to share her new found wealth with her near ones and to continue to pursue her law studies. The main new thing she planned to buy was a new vehicle.

An anonymous winner donated all his winnings of $3 million to his church without batting an eye. The church has taken a decision to expand to accommodate their growing congregation and to also donate some of the money to charities.

The point is, as a lotto winner you find yourself in the enviable position to do a lot of good for yourself and for those around you. Your community also stands to benefit if you will maintain a cool head and spend the money wisely. So, why not plan ahead — just in case.
