Reminds me of the guy who bought lottery tickets for a syndicate at work. Every week he played the same numbers for a number of years. Then one day the numbers came in - and his mates phoned him up to congratulate him (and themselves). One small problem - he had forgotten to buy the ticket that week. He hung himself in his attic. Don't know if this is urban myth or if it's real but if it is it's just plain bloody sad.
There is a woman in Ireland who won 115 million Euro - she now barricades herself in her home and her life has changed completely - for the worse if you ask me.
Be careful what you wish for - you might just get it..........
My advice would be this - if you win a substantial pile of money - give a lot of it away. And don't tell anyone about it either. No-one. Don't buy helicopters or yachts or planes - just live like a normal human being - a bigger house is going to do nothing for you and a more expensve car will just make you a sitting duck for thieves. Money attracts trouble.
