Winning a Big Jackpot may not necessarily be a good thing

Anyone with a lot of money should have a good financial team with accountants and tax lawyers to make sure that the money is not squandered. Very few big lottery winners go that route and do the unthinkable---some manage to lost tens of millions in a few years. The good news is, a majority manages to avoid this sad fate. But, not all.

Here are a few relevant "news" items:

did u read ur own article? just one glimpse at ur first link mentions only a little mire than 5 pc file bankruptcy in 5 yrs. also the university study only correlates with 10 k to 150 k winning evaporating in couple of years.

when i was talking about winning i wasnt alking abt shitty amnt of money, any genius on this forum would run out 150 k in 2 yrs, i am talking abt mega prizes. if a statement such ad 9/10 winners (i assume it to be mega winners - millions) run through money in 5 years is made, i dont have to ck out the study to call it bull as it doesnt make sense.

i dnt need bullshit study to tell me otherwise that i can take an educated guess on .

now i dnt have any lotto winndrs data to back up what i say, no one had - neither do i feel like looking at dan fan study because i know tbere would me many loopholes/ data missi g/ criteria ie 150 k winner bah blah blah...

dont try to acamedizeeverything... i value my educated hunch a lot.
