Hmmm...I guess money does NOT buy happiness

The trick is to NEVER let anyone else know you won :)

Right, those poor rich people :321GFY

they should learn where to shop.....

Damn some fucked up things have happend to him/his family.. but he seems like a good guy... donated 20 million to charity. :(

exactly. If I won the lottery I don't think I would tell anyone.

:thumbsup

300+ million ... no one needs, nor deserves that much cake... give 3/4's of it to family, friends and charity ... tell them all to go away and your life will be better after.

Lotteries aren't about needing or deserving, just like jobs. You get what you get, whether you earn it or luck into it. It seems that they gave 20 million of it to charity, which, after taxes, is more than a tithe.

personally if i had that much cash, id invest into alot of companies..

Its Hammer Time.

you dont get a real chance to announce that your a winner the lottery board of where you won does that for you in the form of public announcements.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

The process that a rich man goes through to get his money, the judgement, caution, intelligence and discipline he developed, makes him ready to handle the money when it comes. You can give an idiot all the money in the world and all it will do is ruin him, he probably won't even be able to hold onto it for very long.

These lottery winners are all bottom of the barrel instant gratification types, they just can't handle it.

In GA you can form a corporation and the corporation can cash the ticket. That's why you don't hear about every single multimillion dollar lottery winner - there are ways to keep quiet :)

ahhhhh now I see.....ancient chinese secret reveled.
