I actually read about this a few weeks ago. I find it crazy that people win the lottery and completely ruin their lives with the money. If it were me I think the hardest choice I would have to make would be- lump sum, or annuity payments? I don't need a lot to be happy so I'd set myself up with a nice house at the beach and live out my days in relaxation...
ReplyDeleteSeems funny when I first read about it, but then I can't help thinking how some people nowadays don't give a damn about investing and taking care of their future. If I ever win the lottery, I will setup my own crime scene clean up business and payout all my debts. treating my family with a vacation would be nice, but I wouldn't use up all the money partying and celebrating.
