After they have heard the responses they can better make the decision on how to respond to requests coming their way.
You’d almost have to move and change your name if you wanted to see any peace. I’d probably spend like a drunken fool the first year, but I’d settle down after that and figure out how to do some real good with the rest of the money - something that would go on long after I’m gone.
I have some friends and family that I would just have to completely cut out of my life, sad to say. They would be absolute parasites.
I’m familiar with this Whitaker guy’s story, that’s a real tragedy! Apparently, he was a successful contractor before he won the lottery, had all of these plans to go to the Holy Land with his wife (his poor wife) and do all of this good with it. I believe his granddaughter was found under a tarp somewhere where her “friends” left her after she died of a drug overdose. She was just a teen, and her grandfather gave her a house of her own and all kinds of money - she just spent it all on drugs for her and her buddies. They used her up until she was dead. So sad.
Whitaker took to going to strip clubs all the time, carrying HUGE amounts of money with him to stuff in strippers G-strings - what a surprise that they robbed him. A fool and his money are soon parted. I’ve often wondered what happened to his wife.
