Let's face it. Lottery winners face numerous problems including divorce, lawsuits, news media, and greedy relatives. For a single person who wins the lottery prize, marriage is a compromise to the control that winner has over the prize. Not only that, but how do you know that the legions of men or women who run toward the lottery winner is actually interested in that person for him/her and not because of the money? I thought about this topic about "The Lottery and Marriage" this morning. What would you do in this situation? Would you remain single or would you marry later in life after winning a prize? What are your thoughts on this situation? Smart lottery winners form trust to claim their winnings. They send an attorney to the lottery headquarters to claim the prize in trust, so that ONLY the name of the trust is revealed. And they tell NO ONE, especially relatives. If you ever win a lottery and you are single, the only person you should ever marry is someone who was truly in love with you BEFORE you won the jackpot! | | |

Why would I want to have a nagging, pestering wife telling me what to do all day long, when I can have a harem of 20 year old beauties at my command?   | | |

Not sure if one can gradually win a jackpot, but as far as marriage goes, the answer might be in looking at whether or not and why you'd get married in the first place. In neo-conned Amerika, bank robs you.
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store, not a govnoment agency. | | |

What are your thoughts on this situation? If the Dollars could bring me a glass of water in the middle of the night. I, am going to need a caring hand, and that is not always a paid help! You can't pay people to really care!.... Ask those who are on sick beds with paid nurses, who are rude!
If the Dollars could talk to me honestly when I need a friend!...Ask Michael who was surrounded by "Yes Men" and "Yes women"
If the dollars could sit with me across the table and have a pleasant meal!...Ask those who are rich and sit at restaurants alone! And If I could take the horrible Images I saw on September 11, 2001, where many came to work all through the night, findind body parts whit expensive Rollex watches still on the blown-off arm! (It was so clear that their money did not save them) If I could take it with me! Then I would remain single (If I was not Married) just to protec the money, I won in a lottery!

Winning the lottery has nothing to do with getting married. Meeting the right person has everything to do with getting married. | | |

" Winning the lottery has nothing to do with getting married. Meeting the right person has everything to do with getting married. " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And that puts this poll in true perspective....! Could'nt agree more.. " Hope and Change " is no longer an option, " it's the past 41 months that counts ". In 2012, vote with your eye's open...! _________________________________________________________________ | | |

Original Post by rundown99 "Not only that, but how do you know that the legions of men or women who run toward the lottery winner is actually interested in that person for him/her and not because of the money?" My assumption would be if they are "running" toward me, it is for the money. Now, if they are walking, I'll take my time choosing. What if I meet a woman that also won the lottery - and further, won more than I did? Definitely, a prenuptial agreement, is needed for any and all possible marriage situations.

"If you were single and suddenly won a lottery jackpot, would you get married later in life?" Only to a woman who was an orphaned only child who didn't know I had won a jackpot.
It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!
Close doesn't count! I sell everything at a loss but make up for it in volume
- Milo Minderbinder, Catch-22 There are two kinds of jackpot winners...the ones who remained anonymous and the ones that wish they had.
