Be careful what you wish for. The first mil would probably supply most everything you think you want, then what? The hordes would descend on you and make your life so miserable you wouldn't be able to enjoy your new possessions. Things are just that, things. They can't love you or have any sort of social interaction with you. My wife and I are raising our 12 year old grandaughter and she gives us more joy than all the money that woman won ever could. You don't own things, they own you. The same goes for money.

I bought a $10 ticket in Beaver Dam, AZ, that's 5 $2 chances and I had the first 3 numbers correct for a payout of $7 on one card, no need to worry where to invest it, LOL

It would be a pain in the ass to win that much. I would have to figure out responsible things to do with the money, probably set up a foundation to make grants for good causes. There's the worry about how to invest it so it wouldn't disappear. It would be a lot of work.
And if you have kids, you'd have to worry about some whacko kidnapping them for ransom.

Why I never buy lottery tickets.

wouldnt be much problem for me...old cowboy advise...spend it on whores & whiskey..waste the rest!!!

I wonder if her "ex" is crawling back??

I believe he was killed in a hit and run accident. I hope she has a good financial advisor and attorney.

your "People" will set up the foundation and take care of the investments. I would love to win if for no other reason than I would then be traveling by private jet rather than standing in line at the airport with all the "peons."
