Would you believe that after my little discussion that I posted saying that I had won the lotto, I received LOADS of friend requests, mostly from people who had congratulated me on the lotto thread, but some from people who hadn't posted at all. Do you think they're after my money? LOL!

Oh dear BittyBiddy, maybe they are after your money who knows, I did put a response to your discussion about your lotto win, maybe they responded to you as I think it was a great discussion and probably they did too.

Hmm.......it's just that there were rather a lot of friend requests. Ah well........who knows. I'd be delighted if I thought they appreciated my literary genius. :)

You know, I hadn't thought about that. The above poster may be right in that some of the people who sent you a friend request just thought that your post was interesting and funny! ^_^ But I do think that a lot of the people were just looking for money.. lol ^_^

greed  - flocking to a person due to their good fortune shows the motivation of the individual
I thought in the discussion you mentioned that you had not really won and that you were discussing who we would share the news with. Some didn't seem to read it all the way. Probably people just want to be in on good things especially over the net greed seems to be magnified.

I would say about 50% of people didn't read all of the discussion. It's amazing.

Very good. LOL! No, I wish I had. I'd give you a few euro just for being so blatantly up front about it. :D

Well, that just goes to show the amount of people who do not read the full topic. Now you can start another topic asking, 'Why do you want to become my friend?' By the way, could you also add me to your list of friends. Ha, ha.

Or I could start a topic saying that I wish to split my lotto win. Who wants a bit?

Go and do it Shywolf. You may as well for the laugh! Let me know so that I can be the first to reply. LOL! :)

LOL!! It is so funny to watch human nature in action. I think that if you did post that topic saying you had won the lotto and wanting to split your money, you would get one of the highest number of responses here on Mylot ever! *laugh* It's so funny to hear about how you got all of those friend requests after posting your lotto post. Thanks for sharing. I guess that now if I ever wish to get a huge friend list here on Mylot I know how to do it! LOL! Just post saying that I've won the lottery or that I'm some type of a millionare wanting to give away my money. Geesh! LOL ^_^

You can't be sure that they are only after your money, you look quite presentable from you photograph, which I assume does you justice (not at all like my photo which I hope doesn't resemble me at all), so perhaps it not a rich girl they are after but a rich beautiful girl. To be serious though, most people have a touch of greed about them (and I would include me in that), but I try to live an ethical life where possible. Lottery wins can cause lots of heartache in families so I wouldn't recommend telling anybody about your win (except me of course). It may be that those freiend request came from people who assumeyou really did win the lottery and disguising the fact by writing here that it was only a joke.

"you look quite presentable from you photograph" Yeah, I guess I do. I spent a lot of time working on my makeup for that photograph. I actually think your own photograph is quite fetching.......no bones about it.

WHen you say I won, of course most people will greet you. I understand if you really didn't because I had the same experience too. I always recieved loads of lotto emails telling me I won. I know it is a fake so I just ignore them.

Lol..there is every chance of it being true! You know how people are. But the way you started the discussion seemed like you really had won the lotto..and for those who just read the subject, they sure would be gullible enough to believe it was true..hehe.

i thinks so, but you cant blamed them, let us accept the fact that everyone of us needs money. just accept all your friend's requests, anyway, you did not win the lotto so there is no reason for you to give them because you havr nothing to give, LOL!

I think so not they are not after ur money instead they are bit jealousy cause everybody likes money they might ask how did u win the lotto and how much money u have got. Such type of questions are often and u ll b fed up reading all those and giving response to them so it need to b kept secret if u also win such kind of lotto or any thing.

First of all congratulations and may LUCK will always be by your side. I hope you will spend your money in order to make your life happier. After that, believe me, I think many people have this motive but some of them they don't. Don't put all of them in the same basket. You will see and decide next.

at the end of the day people tend to congratulate but yes probably after your money. its strange how the world works but many people will choose who to be friends with because of social status or money not because they truely like them. congratulations by the way!!! (and no i am not after your money i just say that to anyone, i even say it in poker when someone beats me)
