The family of a kid I went to school with won 14 million in the lotto, blew it all in like 2 years and lost their house, and then they won 18 million again 2 years after they lost their house. They were broke and living in an appartment again within 4 years.
How the fuck do you win twice to start with, but then to fuck it up both times.

... if he put it in an account that made him 0% interest.

If I put 100 million into my normal checking account I would get more then 300k a year in interest.
Put that into my ING savings account and it would be more then 550k a year in just interest.

But then take into account with that much coin you can negotiate for a real interest rate.

I'd hire a great accountant, and a great invester, but leave 20million in just a normal bank account as a fall back.
Even being 24 I could retire right now with 20million, and live a pretty good life.
