Stories about some Lotto Winners

Your life will surely change once you've won a jackpot. Whether it changes for good or bad depends entirely on how and where you spend your winnings. Stories about Lotto winners make an interesting novelty, and has a great influence on future lottery winnings. They say "the more things change the more they will be the same" has often proved to be true when tracking life in some of the biggest Lotto winners. Winning the jackpot is a very unusual event where an individual has an opportunity where he can influence the lives of countless others who are not so lucky. 

Several times we have met people who won the 649 jackpot declare, with a bottle of champagne in hand, with a jackpot that will not make any changes in them. Nevertheless, facts show that more than half of the 649 jackpot winners moved to a larger house in the country. More than two thirds of the winners gave more than £ 1 million to a close friend or a relative. More than two thirds of all large lottery winnings own property abroad. 90% of the big time lottery winnings were in the workforce when they won, however, is only 25% are still working. Most lottery winners have brought more than a luxury car. Almost all the winners continue to play 649 lotto even today. 

The year was 2005, Brad Duke of Idaho was a normal man. Brad was a manager at Gold's Gym franchise when he won 220 million U.S. dollar Powerball jackpot. Brad hit a fortune by winning the 85 million U.S. dollars as its share of the jackpot and immediately began to manage its finances. Within a month of winning Brad together a team of financial advisers to manage their newfound wealth. His only goal was to become a billionaire through prudent investment. Brad went to low-risk investments like municipal bonds and invested more than half of his winnings. 35 million was capitalized in financial instruments which have a high risk, high return as equities and real estate. He established a family charity and allotment of $ 1.3 million, paid its promise of $ 125,000 and loans of $ 18,000, gifted each family $ 12,000 and took a trip to Tahiti with friends, the trip cost him a total of $ 63,000. But incredibly, he bought himself a used car, a black VW Jetta for $ 14,500. Today Brad is richer when he owns 140 million U.S. dollars. Brad took some time off after winning, but eventually went back to work at Gold's Gym. 

Brad's story is very different from the story of a 19-year-old Michael Carroll. Michael won a huge £ 9.7 million in November 2002, but managed to blow all the money. In the days after losing assets and cash, he is back where he was before winning. Michael has not taken advice from experts and well-wishers and wasted the wealth that others only dream off. 

These are some mind-boggling stories of lottery winners. In case you happen to win a mega jackpot advocates that you enjoy currently closely, but coming back to earth as quickly as possible and think properly before investing.
