"Regular"/"average" people seldomly handle lots of money well...
In fact, they often handle it as if they were retarded. :disgust

He should've stuffed it all in the bank, and used the interest to pay for school, and live off it in a humble fashion until he knew better. Instead, he got swindled by the very "street" he grew up in. Sad, sad story.

people sneered before that because of his class

what an idiot :1orglaugh

what else is new, most people cant manage that kind of money anyway

Dont forget the money he won is tax free - you only pay tax on interest.
