I feel I have the courage to win the lottery and deal with the corrupting, evil, beautiful millions of dollars.

I got 5 out of 6 once in the California super lotto. I remember I couldn't sleep because the week before 5/6 paid $300k, with my luck the payout the next morning was $2k. But that night I was dreaming of a viper and a down payment for a house. Rude awakening but thankful.

One of my friends won 2 million in the Ohio Lottery, he took my advice and invested all of it and is currently living off the $30,000 per month dividend from his investment. He was 33 when he won and both he and his wife retired about 6 months after winning. It wasn't the mega million winnings that we hear about, but it was enough to allow him to retire at 33 years of age.

After watching that show "How the Lottery changed my Life"I think you are required to have an IQ below 80 and believe that having 3 million in the bank allows you to buy a jet and several exotic cars along with a 2 million dollar mansion,never a thought about paying the taxes or upkeep for the toys

I have a friend who won a million on a scratch ticket a number of years ago. Ran into him at the bar that night and I can tell ya, he was generous with the drinks. He took 3 months leave from work and bought a house on a small acreage for his young family. Invested a good chunk of it and returned to work. I lost touch with him, but heard through mutual friends that he had turned into an alcoholic. We were in our early 20's at the time.

Most I've won is $400 at the casino....wooohooo!

I saw a few people in the "ZL1 owner age and profession" threads had won big in a lottery. I assume they won big due to a response like "2013 zl1, 27, lottery winner". Must be nice!
