About ten years ago my dad had won 75000.00 through the 649 ....He used the money up really fast buying this and that till there was nothing left. 10 years later he has nothing to show for his win =( has anyone else been lucky in this area if so what did you do with your win?

almost everybody who wins the lottery has their lives ruined by it
even folks who earn lots of cash gradually through work or investments have trouble dealing with being rich
when its all of a sudden like that, then they and their friends and families expect it will make em all happy because they always beleived lack of money was causing unhappiness, its easier to believe that since you don't have to accept responsibility for being unhappy or not satisfied then
anyway, when the money doesn't make em happy, then they learn what true depression is, and often they lose their friends and family too due to greed and all that

I personally have never won the Lotto but one of my neighbors, this lady in her mid-80s, won well over $150 million. They tried to tell her that she could only take it in increments over 20 or 30 years but there was a big controversy over this - clearly they were trying to screw her out of money as she was not going to live another 20 to 30 years.
