Lottery winner wasn't sure he wanted £6m - GoFuckYourself.com

A German lottery winner who scooped a jackpot of more than £6 million didn't claim it for ten weeks as he wasn't sure he wanted the money.
The clerk from Dortmund, who wishes to remain anonymous, was the only player to tip the six correct numbers in the January 3 draw, entitling him to £6,360,000.
However, nearly three months passed before the lucky winner presented himself to WestLotto with his winning ticket saying he had taken time out so he could "think things over".

The company had thought the winner was unaware of his luck and had been searching for the ticket holder in a poster campaign.

Common guys, maybe he was happy to begin with. Money like this can often dramatically change your life and not always for the better.

I was myself part of a large inheritance years ago, not nearly as big, but still considerable and the money only made things worse for me and my family. Friends turned on us, family got greedy, the works.

There is a huge difference between earned fortunes and inherited ones, or even lottery winnings.

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for..
