I know that if I won anything in the range of 100 or more Million, I'd take it annually, never as a lump sum. That way I can't fuck my self over, and if I do, i still get whatever million next year. The 2 people who split the 333 mega million last week here in the US are lucky. If I was one, I'd take it annually.. It's 12.5 million every year for 30 years , lol. . Good game. I would never go broke. 1st, I don't like parties, secondly I don't do any kind of drugs, thirdly I'm level headed, I wan't to win, fuck that lotto-curse bs.

she did good for herself.
Kid's school fees: taken care of
Parents: taken care of
Grandparents: taken care of
Mortgage: None, she wont die a homeless bum
Car Payment: None
When she gets older (ie grandparents / parents die off), she'll will officially own 3 properties. what more can you ask for?
it will be stupid if the lotto winner does not buy any real estate
chances are 99% of you guys will continue to work after winning $3 mil

if that's the house in the picture she bought then she is an idiot. and spending close to $700,000 pound on partying, vocation, cloth, surgery, cars is not a wise choice at her age. she will probably regret in her later life why she didn't do better things with the money.

I think she is fine. How many of you at her age can say they have a house with no mortgage, bought houses for parents and grandparents, and a trust fund for your children/future children. She might not have as much money to live the lavish lifestyle anymore, but to live comfortably, all she would need to do is get a run-of-the-mill job to pay for food/monthly utilities, car insurance and property tax and she's good to go.

you shouldn't call someone an idiot by judging the appearance of the house.
don't you know how expensive it is to buy a house in UK?
She donated 3 grand to charity and bought houses for her family. She's not
that bad after all. Remember, $3million in canada is not the same as $3million
in UK.

I mean if she got 3+ houses then it's a different story but it's her only house. The point I was going to make is she could've been in a much better financial situation if she went to a professional and got some proper money management advices.
Then again most lay people still thinks their houses is the safest investment out there. Hey remember what caused this recession?

| She will end up with 3 houses!
1) her own
2) parents (when parents DIE)
3) grandparents (when grandparents DIE)

There's many ways she could've gone about spending her 1.9M but in the end, a fraction of it was spent on fun, and a fraction with asset ownership. She's no financial expert but not exactly a complete write-off there.

How the hell did real estate market cause the recession?? If you're referring to the Sub Prime industry, it's wasn't people buying real estate, it was the poor lending decisions made by the banks.
Real estate will always be a good investment IF you have to ability hold on to property without it financially crippling you. That way, it can be sold at the right time.

Then again most lay people still thinks their houses is the safest investment out there. Hey remember what caused this recession? | many professional invested in lehman brother and got nothing out of it. I
would rather have a piece of land with a house on top of it. I don't care how
bad it depreciates in the last 6 years (probably none at this point), at least I
don't have to worry about paying off my debt.
my point is 1.9M in UK is probably only around 2mil cdn in Canada (cost of
living). In 2003, you can get 3 apartments for $650K - $800K...then another
$100K for cars. Spending the remaining 1mil on travel, crack, boob jobs is fair.

as long as you have 1 cent more than before you won the lottery, i'd say you came out ahead.
any stupid decisions made because of $ would have been made regardless. why? because you're stupid. money doesn't make you dumb.

no 3mil might not completely change your life, but you can do a lot better shit with it. even investing most of it and retiring a hell of a lot earlier.
also asian_xl 1.9mil pounds ~ close to 4 mil cdn
