Man refuses $4 million lottery win
Sep 19, 2007, 2:31 pm (52 comments)
Sir- Would you be interested in adopting me ?
Now that he has $4M to dispose of there will be family showing up that he didn't know he had.
I personally know what to do with the money. I'll send him my address...
I'll take it.
Exactly what I was going to write. You beat me to it, DD!
WHAT!!!!!!
someone need to check about this man!
HAHA!! These idiots sicken me. Send it to me so I can turn it into $20 million or more in about 10 years. I will then send you a couple of hundred that you will know what to do with. So what will they do with the money? How on earth can you possibly beat those odds and not want, nor know what to do with it? I think many people do just play for something to do, and never expect to win.
He won't be a widower for very long.
Could somebody please tell please tell me, why would you play the lottery if you don't expect to win? I think most people are playing to win. Maybe I'm wrong. Or, maybe they do it alittle different in Germany.

Is he DAFT???
He could easily live another 20 years. Has he decided to just sit around doing nothing waiting for death? What if he has some large medical bills? What if he needs a nursing home? Germany must have a much better health care program than the US if he's not worried about that stuff.
I can see someone, especially in the small villages in Germany being satisfied with life as they live it and/or not wanting for anything. My question is, why play in the first place. I mean, I can understand how playing is a challenge and exciting and all of that. But..... the main purpose for most people...IS TO WIN SOME MONEY....and hopefully.....THE TOP PRIZE!!!!!

Come ON, don't they have a Pink Pony in Germany??? Maybe he could buy a brewery, or a chocolate factory, or something!
As the Deep Purple song goes, "It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase!"
This is also a theory why people get depressed after they win, because they are so used to buying and hoping that once they get their wish they don't need to keep playing and that was what they really enjoyed.
Give it to the Darfur project.....charities need money
I think he will wise up and take the money after all.
No one is that stupid.
