Lotto Winner

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

If you win the lotto your life is never going to be the same again. Not only your life, but your friends’ and relatives’ lives will also change, and the change may not be very positive. Incredible things have happened to people who have overnight attained the status of being a lotto winner.

No matter how you have won the lotto, 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 knew 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 capable of or trained to handling. Mark won the jackpot with friend and business partner Paul Maddison. Together they won a record £ 22 million and Mark got his share of £ 11 million. Shunning the limelight, Paul faded into the background while Mark decided to have some fun.

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

Happily, not every story is as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been so many people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won a life-changing £ 7,055,142. After 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 those near and dear to her and to continue to pursue her law studies. The only new thing she planned to buy was a new vehicle.

An anonymous winner, without batting an eye, donated all his $3 million winnings to his church. The church has decided to expand to accommodate its growing congregation and will also donate some of the money to charities.

The point is, as a lotto winner you now are in an enviable position to do a lot of good for yourself and for those around you. Your community also stands to benefit — if you maintain a cool head and spend the money wisely. So, just in case — plan ahead.
