Are Lotto Winners Really Lucky?
Are Lotto Winners Really Lucky?
If you happen to be a lotto winner your life is never going to be the same again. Not only your life, but your friends’ and relatives’ lives will also change, and the change may not be very nice. Head-spinning things have happened to people who have overnight attained the status of being a lotto winner.
No matter if you drew the winning numbers yourself or used the windows lotto pro software, you will be richer by tens of millions of euros or pounds and things will start to change almost immediately.
Winning a record prize of £ 11 million, Mark Gardiner was sure that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his present problems vanished, he got into new ones that he was not trained for or capable of handling. Mark won the jackpot with business partner and friend Paul Maddison. Together the two won a record £ 22 million and Mark got his share of £ 11 million. Paul shunned the limelight and retreated into the background — but Mark decided to have some fun.
Before he could believe it, Mark went through half of his winnings. Even as he bought expensive cars and houses, gave to friends and relatives, married and then divorced, his problems never seemed to end. His family disowned him almost as if he had committed a crime. Finally he regained his bearings and is now wiser and remarried to his first wife (a childhood sweetheart) whom he had divorced when he was penniless.
However, not every story is as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been a great many people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Student Ianthe Fullagar won an astonishing £ 7,055,142. After the traditional screaming in disbelief she settled down and called her boyfriend and family and shared the news with them. Ianthe intends to share her new found wealth with her near ones and to continue to pursue her degree in law. The only thing she planned to buy was a brand new car.
One anonymous winner donated all his $3 million winnings to his church without batting an eye. The church has decided to expand to accommodate their growing congregation; they will also donate some of the money to charities.
