I have listened to the sorts of lives that have followed huge lottery wins and truthfully, I’m not sure I would like what comes with that kind of money.
People from everywhere are constantly asking for money. Friends. Family. Strangers. And it’s constant. Keeping your current friend circle would be extremely challenging to impossible. That’s from a friend of mine who’s best friend came into $20 million. They slowly started hanging out less and less because his friend didn’t have to work anymore and my friend did. His circle of friends slowly changed and they fell out of contact.
Everything changes with this sort of money. A lot of it seems very very tiring.
After looking into it a little, this guy is already being sued by two men who claim he stole the ticket from them…and he does not know them! That one thing requires lawyers. Expensive. Bet they won’t exercise much generosity in “billing judgment” knowing he’s loaded.
