Had a neighbor who won a few millions in the lottery back in the 80s when a million was money. They had a modest home on some acreage. They raised Arabians and lived within their means. When they won, they improved the ranch and added an exercise ring. That was about it—no new cars, no huge parties, nothing. They were nothing like the majority of people who win. I’m pretty sure they still have more than what they won...
A local widower her actually won over a million twice. Second time was $12M, IIRC.
Other than buying new steps for the church, he’ll die with every penny of it. Still drives a 25yo vehicle.
When he won the big one, he asked an acquaintance to take him to Indy to collect his prize. Told the guy he’d buy him dinner.
He sprang for McDonalds.
