“I wish I’d torn that ticket up,”
He still doesn’t get it. Poor guy.
yeah, blame the ticket. That’s what losers do is blame others.
—He still doesn’t get it. Poor guy.—
My thoughts exactly.
I have heard that those that do keep the money often find themselves losing friends and even family because everyone is angry that they don’t share the wealth.
I have a brother in law that earned the money the hard way. I am guessing he is worth maybe a billion. He gives the family shirts for Christmas. And as for me, we’re living “God Bless the Child”. And that is a good thing. He has flown us to Cabo in his jet, Flown us to his Yacht in the islands off Juneau and stuff like that (the ride in the Beaver was my favorite part). But he doesn’t give us “stuff” and when we are at restaurants, we all pay for our own meals.
And that’s how it should be.
I think one of the first things a “responsible” lotto winner needs to do is look for new friends at the first sign of bitterness.
The trips are fun, though. :-)
And the real sad thing is that he, more than most people should have known how to handle money. He had a successful construction business worth something along the lines of 15 million dollars.
