20 year old man wins $450 million

Damn.. I never win anything.. EVER…

When you have that kind of money gold diggers are easy to find. They will find you. So called relatives will come out of the woodwork and “friends” you never heard of will be coming around begging for money. Charities and other such organizations will deluge you with mail begging for money. I, too, would do everything I could to keep my face and name out of the news. I would move to a far away state or even to another country to be left in peace. I wish him the best tho.

If I had was hat kind of change I wold Neón my dreamed MGLAND in the Caribbean by now.

Man, he’s going to have all sorts of women trying to wrap their legs around him and get pregnant.

I also predict a few #MeToos will embarrass him during his lifetime.

My advice for him: ghost in foreign countries & always wear a condom.

That young man is f~~~ed and he doesn’t even realize it yet. How stupid must you be to announce that you won on Facebook for f~~~’s sake?

Many years ago I was living in southern New England when a guy in Rhode Island hit a Powerball jackpot for 20 million or so. (The game was new then, not in many states, and tickets were a buck so the jackpot didn’t grow too quickly.) He was just the kind of person you wanted to see win if you couldn’t win yourself; divorced dad, wife had up and left, he had custody of the kids, working as local delivery driver, etc., etc.

He got real stupid real quick. He lost money buying a McMansion which turned into a money pit. He lost money buying a bar which the city health inspectors had already shut down. He even bought a freakin’ golf course despite having never run a business apart from a lemonade stand when he was seven. What really hurt him was the fact that an “Indian” tribe in Connecticut opened what would become Foxwoods soon after he won. He soon owed all sorts of money to all sorts of people.

What saved him was the fact that you could only get the money in an annuity back then. If he’d received a lump sum he would have blown through it all. He ended up having to sell several years of future annuity payments for cents on the dollar in order to get enough cash to pay off his creditors. I don’t remember the exact numbers but he p~~~ed away more than half.

That’s why I plan on buying a penthouse or a tiny house in the future depending if I decide to live in the city or country. F~~~ big places. All I need is 1,000 square feet or more and I’m good to go! Big places are just f~~~ing money pits.

I wouldn’t even want a place for the first several years. Just a legal address and a mail drop because I’m going to be traveling. I’ve been to every continent except Antarctica but on business and not for pleasure. I’d get that Thousand Places To See Before You Die book and start checking off locations.

After that, give me a tiny house and no neighbors.

He posted ot on face book?
Hahahha

Its already apearent he has no clue.

Hell be broke by 35.
If not sooner.

His life is ruined and he doesn’t even realise it yet. I would not tell a single person, even family. I would lie and say I’ve been offered a high paying job overseas. Spend most of my life travelling and help out family (within reason) when I come home. You could do stupid stuff overseas when there’s no witnesses.
