Winning the Lotto — Lucky or Not?
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 positive. Incredible 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 knew that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his current problems vanished, he got into new ones that he was not trained for or capable of handling. Mark hit 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 in the background while Mark decided to have some fun.
Before he could realize it, Mark went through half of his winnings. Though he gave to friends and relatives, bought expensive cars and houses, married and then divorced, his problems never seemed to end. His family rejected him as if he had committed a crime. Finally he regained his bearings; now he is wiser and remarried to his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, whom he had divorced when he was penniless.
Happily, however, not all stories are as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been countless people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won an amazing £ 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 law studies. The only new thing she planned to buy was a new automobile.
An anonymous winner donated all winnings of $3 million to his church without batting an eye. The church has taken a decision to expand to accommodate the growing congregation and will donate some of the money to charities.
