Winning a lottery is not a very honourable thing. Even a beta piglet can win one

Agreed.

It seems like some posters are tentatively pushing out the bait and then sitting back eagerly awaiting for one of the female posters to go "YESSSS!!!! All that matters in a man is M-O-N-E-Y!!!!!!!!!"

Also, what will he do with this money? There are lot of lotto winners who have no clue on how to manage money and have spent it all in as short span of time.

i am happy for him, as he is someone who could use the money. would i date him--pre lottery or post lottery--no
but at least 2 women have been with him before winning the lottery, so he had no problems getting a date.

Well, you hope he will.
If he takes the cash, after taxes he would have to spend a little over $10 million/yr to burn through it within your predicted time frame.

Now that he's worth millions, if he came up to any of you ladies and asked for a date, do you say yes or no? Would you have dated him with no lottery jackpot?
My guess is that he will get a TV for every room (and probably the closets as well), long before he goes to visit a dentist! LOL

I work with people like this every day of the week. I'm sure he'll be dead broke in five years. *sigh*

And no, I wouldn't date him if my life depended on it - not even if he won $500 million dollars.

Do you have any idea how much Dale Earnhart's car will cost? LOL Heck, there is two or three million right there.

I think he'd have to spend more than that... think of the interest alone he's making on the money.
