He’s got money now - the system’s going to milk it back out of him...


People who have never learned to handle money, do not handle it well when the obtain a great deal by chance.

He has all the opportunities to set himself up for a lifetime as a wealthy independent member of people with money.

However, he will probably squander it all in few years, ending up with nothing.

That is what happens with most big lottery winners. There are a couple of exceptions, of course.

Most people don’t like to think about money.

I buy the occasional ticket, they make great bookmarks.

My boss once said that the lottery was a tax on folks bad at math. I told him that at odds of 200 million to 1, it was still a better chance of getting rich than working for him.

My brother in law said lotto winners always went broke. I told him it was because they gave money to their relatives and I wouldn’t make that mistake.
