When I 1st came to this site , I'll always remember the story about how someones number was guaranteed to come out. He stated... ' I write my number down on a small piece of paper, roll it into a small ball, eat it, and in a few days, my number comes out' .. I'll never forget it ... I guess he learned how to crack the code. lol  Congratz to the winners! Omniscient  Don't Play more, Play Smarter! | | |

That's a riot - disgusting, but funny nonetheless! Maybe it's the only way my numbers will finally come out and help me move! | | |

I won't argue about it. We both have a right to our personal viewpoints about what is or is not a lot of money. I don't think that's a lot of money, although I'd be happy to win it. Except for contacting an accountant regarding additional taxes that might be due, I don't see why anyone would need a financial professional who is just going to convince them to invest it so he/she can make a commission. undoubtedly more than they've ever seen in their lives Why? The age of this couple wasn't mentioned. Many people have more than that in a 401K so that might not be a valid statement. Right now CD rates are down (and expected to drop even further) but there is no reason they can't just go to a bank and deposit the money and make 5%. If they are as broke as you indicate, they won't want to buy stocks or gold, because they'll need the interest to pay bills. All money should be handled carefully, even $10 bucks. You just don't always need someone to tell you what to do with it. While you both have a right to your personal viewpoints, in this instance I'm in agreement with justxploring. Most people owe more than 170 grand, so that much money wouldn't even get a lot of people out of debt. With the lottery I get all the exercise I need.
In futility. | | |

$170,000? That's nothing! I can make that much in 17 years. With the lottery I get all the exercise I need.
