Lotto Winners: Lucky Ones?
If you happen to be a lotto winner your life is never going to be the same again. Not only your life, but the lives of friends and relatives will also change — and the change may not always be good. Head-spinning things have happened to people who have overnight attained the status of being a lotto winner.
No matter how you have won the lotto, whether you drew the winning numbers yourself or used the windows lotto pro software, the fact is that you will be richer by tens of millions of pounds or euros, and things will start to change almost immediately.
Mark Gardiner won a record prize of £ 11 million and 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 capable of or trained to handling. Mark hit the jackpot with his friend and business partner Paul Maddison. Together they had record winngs of £ 22 million and Mark got his share of £ 11 million. Paul turned away from the limelight; he retreated into the background while Mark decided to have some fun.
Before he could understand it, Mark blew half of his winnings. He bought expensive cars and houses, gave to friends and relatives, married and then divorced, but his problems never seemed to end. His family shunned him as if he had committed a crime. Finally, Mark regained his bearings, grew wiser, and remarried his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, whom he had divorced when he was penniless.
But not all stories are as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been very many people who have made good on their fortune while remaining grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won an amazing £ 7,055,142. After 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 degree. A new car was the only new thing she planned to purchase.
