TOP 10 Lottery Winner Losers

[Mahanton]

we can't blame them blame them for me if i'm going to win such amount my first thing i'll buy is a lambo but this post made me realize that the money can be easily go away if you don't use properly i think i should do some rethinking and invest it to somewhere where it can be a profitable in the future.

Majority of people would really have that kind of mindset that they should make out some investment once they do hit up the lottery but when you are on the actual situation
then i doubt if someone will still able to remember on what they had said about that.For that time for sure you would have thought that on why would make out investment
if you do already have lots and those came from lottery winning and you will surely be buying all of those wants that you do want to buy before so that will really be you primary
step or things to do before on considering investment steps but there are still some winners who do really manage up their money well and still able to retain their financial
status out of those winnings which its a must thing to be done.

The gambling money comes as quicker as it goes. An example is when you win today and when playing the next day, you are losing and keep playing instead of having a break. Money that comes in gambling is better invested, many that have lost are regretting not investing when they were winning.

Amazing stories about people who got rich fast and didn't know what to do with that money! This topic reminded me on the story I heard years ago, +10 years ago... So a man won tens millions of dollars, in years to come his wife left him for a younger man, one kid died in a car accident, another kid got addicted to heavy drugs... he ended up alone and broke! I don't know is this a real story, or not, I heard it long time ago in some friends talk!
From this people need to learn something, winning big can be dangerous as losing big! You need to know how to handle your loses in gambling, but you need to know how the handle the wins too, it's the same coin with two sides!

When you won some jackpot, then these things will most likely to happen.

-Your house will be flocked by your relatives, friends and other that had known you.
-Buy lambo and mansion
-Vacation
-Gambling
-Spending like theres no tomorrow.

I agree that majority will really forgot on how to preserve those and make it on a good use.
They will just cry later on if they have nothing left with those winnings.

This topic reminds me of 2017 shitposters from forum who received a few hundred thousand dollars through various bounties and lost them altogether. While many have left the forum to live a wealthy life, some people have lost the money due to the 2018 dump. I would say none should become wealthy easily as it would prevent their mind to think more productively. For instance in the case of lottery win, some would have been uneducated population who had the luck and got their lottery win. In this case, they wouldn't be knowing much about the money they are having and how powerful investments could be. This is the reasons, lottery winners would be losing their lottery winnings sooner than ever by spending unnecessarily in various shitty ways.

Whereas in another scenario, wealth which was acquired by starting up a business or from other ways can last longer and can help the person to become more wealthy over the period. Entrepreneurs know the real value of wealth and would be investing their profits wisely rather than buying expensive cars or gadgets, roaming all over the world and ruining their money etc. You should probably keep a low profile if you tend to win lotteries to prevent outsiders from having an eye on you and we should be repeatedly investing on our business like how Elon did when he sold PayPal.

Easy money go away easily from our hands because people who earned money without working for it will not realize its worth that is why most of the people spent in a wrong way and end up losing everything.We can't change anything what is supposed to happen but at least if you win something like this in your life then don't throw all your simply for no real cause, just make something out of it.

Big money comes also with big responsibility. Before you bet in a lottery make sure you know what to do with the money when you hit the jackpot, some people say that lottery money is cursed but I don’t believe that because it depends on how that lucky person take care of that life changing situation.

Each of us does have that different mindset and the level of knowledge towards investment.Some wont really care at all since the money that they had won is just came from gambling which would be the primary mindset that they would had which means they would spend it all as soon as they can without having thoughts on how to spend it correctly so that it would last out.

There's once here on my country where a lottery winner do able to spend up his winnings into that outrageous manner where he buy those, that and go there everywhere and in 1 year time then he had go back
into his old poor self yet he havent make any investment plus having no savings at all.

Imagine that he had lived out on a 2 space condo unit together with his family and its relatives? They spent too much on gambling plus buying gadgets and stuff but all of those is just
only good for 1 year and poof. Go back to those bad old days.

It is very sad to see the majority of these persons ending real bad because of their relatives.There is a lot to learn here and the first lesson I can see here is to put 60% of the money in your bank account and the rest to not be spent of gambling or luxury devices.I feel the most sorry for the guy who had an affair with his sister in law and he was murdered,murder is never justified not matter what were the reasons behind it.

The sudden wealth that come from an instant way were fast to loss too. Be an instant winner of million dollar prizes in a lottery were definitely can be called as jackpot. And yes one of the main problem of the lucky winners were the thought of where they were going to spend these huge money they got and one thing and never get out on the list are the sucking relatives that if you were refused to gave them again what they are wanted they will cursed you. So personally i didn't want to get such those huge instant money, instead i will choose to work hard for it.

We don't have to give lessons to those people who won big but didn't able to use the money on something useful. That's out of our limitation.

It's not that's their money, it's not they can do anything they want, but if they are able to use it on their desire then it's not our problem anymore if they are broken today. For sure, they learned the lesson instead of not able to wake up while having a big money.

They will not change into a responsible person now if they didn't experience regrets in the past.

what a tragedy. some(maybe all) of these people probably thought they have finally got out of the hard life but then ending up getting killed or sued or being used by someone.
sometimes it is hard to argue with the logic of "money is the root of all evil"

It's not clear for me why some on the list become loser while they are just being misfortune on there life like being murdered or being charge for false accusation. The word "Unfortunate" is more appropriate than losers because they didn't waste there money when they are alive.
-snip

I thought so too. some of this is just tragedy and out of the winner's control.

I did not make the list. Maybe if I have the time someday, I will do a more in depth searching regarding this lottery winners that blew all their money within their control. That was my thought too when I saw the list for the first time, I think it is appropriate word for them because it contradicts the word winner.

I have a neighbor that has same faith with these winners,Back in 2006 when they won a local lottery in which valuing about 400k dollars now(in which Huge Money in my country) .

What the family Did is bought a luxurious House and cars,Live in very High End style of living.

After 4 years they end up going back to where they started and now?stays here again n our place with really burden living.

Opportunity only knock once same as Luck so better live a better or else this will gone.

This is not uncommon occurence with lottery winners, in fact there is a book that documents the life of the people after winning the lottery. There is a research that also shows that most interviewed lottery winners felt miserable after their win. I feel bad for them but most of the time, their actions are kind of their fault too.

The same happened with bounty hunting shitposters of this forum. 2017 had been a fortune making lottery win for almost everyone who participated in these bounties. But it didn't last long and they came back again to spam this forum. We have seen old trustworthy accounts from our forum begging for a few dollars during the pandemic and I speculate they could have end up spending all their bitcoin like immediate millionaires back in 2011-2012. Earning money is a lot more difficult than spending and the lucky lottery winners would never understand this.

While Elon sold PayPal he never had the money to pay for his house rent since he ended up investing $180 million almost half in Tesla and half in SpaceX. Both these companies had great return of investment for him and made SpaceX the market leader for producing private spacecrafts and supplying to NASA. This is how people who have self-earned their money and respect would be spending on and not like the uneducated morons buying lambo and showing off in public as being fake rich.

The Lottery businesses should also do their best to teach/suggest to such winners how best to use their money. If possible, suggest to them to lock up huge part of the prizes somewhere safe until they can figure out how to make good use of the money. Many could easily be overwhelmed by their wins that they would be able to figure out how to use them well.

Even in my country once you win a lot or betting in lottery everyone know you even you don't really know that person and will ask for( balato )a small share for your winnings.

that is the problem of most people, they do not want to refuse people because of sudden weath and unexpected winning they  do not know how to properly handle their  money from winning .which can be result of misshandling money and lost a lot of it wasting in unnecessary things and expenses and become  run-out of money in the end.

[MCobian]

Lots of lessons can be taken from the lottery winners who have been mentioned in the opening post, it turns out that our own family
can be a threat when we win the lottery. They want some of the money we got from the lottery, if we win the lottery we'd better not
tell anyone. And we have to control ourselves when we win the lottery, do not let us spend it on something that is not useful.

• 7. Sharon Tirabassi, 2004
  Winnings: $10 million, Canadian dollars
  ($11.75 million, Canadian today; $11.4 million U.S.)
  
  She did blew the fortune with luxuries but she was also practical in putting trust fund for her children.
• 5. Janite Lee, 1993
  Winnings: $18 million
  ($29 million today)
  
  Commendable expenditure of the fortune by donating. Others are just the same as others, luxurious house in a gated community and a political luncheon for Bill Clinton.
• 2 (tie). Billy Bob Harrell Jr., 1997
  Winnings: $31 million
  ($45 million today)
  
  Another case of family and relatives you hate sucking up to your fortune. He was practical on what to spend his fortune on but again family loans started. I think when you get this kind of fortune, you also should get an iron balls to reject this leeching beggars.

Not all of these examples are bad. Trust fund is a good idea, donating money to a serious cause is also something that deserves appreciation. As for the family, I think I'd share some money with the closest relatives, but giving it all to people with their loans does not make sense. I'd buy a flat (I'm currently renting, I don't have my own apartment) and maybe one more for lease, save about 10% of the money for studying and travelling, put about 50% into a scholarship for bright students from my country who are admitted to top universities abroad and require small additional financial assistance to go there (I was in this situation, so I want to help out those who'd also be in it), give about 30% to my relatives who could use this money. This is a plan for about $1 million. If it's more than that, I'd spend the first million as mentioned above, and put the rest of the money into opening a good private university in my country (with scholarships for the smartest and those who need them most, of course). I don't want to be rich per se, so in case I get lots of money, I want to spend it on something that matters (for me it's education).

The hardest thing is when a lot of your friends and acquaintances, know that you hit a jackpot because suddenly you become their hero and their best friend that they want to spend their time with you, you are plunged to nighly party and friends saying all the best things about you in return for a loan that they badly needed.
The best thing to do when you hit the jackpot is to live life in moderation and educate yourself on what to do with the money, everything is all about how you treat money, and how you want to be treated.

[carlisle1]

This is the reason why I stopped betting in Lottery because of the risk of either Losing people i love or losing my Life once i become a jackpot winner lol.
Imagine almost all of them end life in bad ways and not just that but in hands of the people close to them.
This is what money can bring ,So better not tell anyone about your winning though this is impossible to happen as  our happiness will surely dictate us to spread the message about our million winnings.
