TAMPA - One person's blessing is another person's curse.
Most of us dream of winning the lottery; of days spent leisurely on the new boat, or jetting to sun-splashed beaches in southern France. For some, that sudden wealth is a burden; a constant struggle of having to say no to family and friends and yes, take what you want, to the government.
I've always read terrible stories about sudden wealth. Spending goes into overdrive, deadbeat friends/relatives appear out of the woodwork, the suddenly wealthy are also the new fund of every dream everyone ever had, often times if people don't feel like they got enough or feel like they deserve part of it then the rest vaporizes into lawsuits.
The last thing I would ever do if I won anything is tell anyone. I would stuff it into different accounts and government securities after paying off any debts and not use it in any way to arose any suspicion.
Hey, if winning all that money is so troublesome, then people can just give it away to some worthy cause and go back to work. Same with trust funds and other problems I won't have to consider.
Yrs back my brothers friend won the lottery (6 million) & he said family, friends ,ex friends, former classmates & strangers came out of the woodwork asking for money.
One could always put the lottery winnings in a self directed trust and yourself a salary to administer said trust to get a yearly income. That way you don't have gobs of money to "give" away.

Is that what a tightwad would do ?
