Wish I was able to show the preview video but if you click on the last word in the article and look down the page on the left you can watch it. Suze Orman ask Ms. Magnes if, in some ways, she was happier before she won the money. Her answer is yes. I imagine that's because she so anxious about how to invest the money. I really want to watch this on Saturday.

So I actually watched this episode of SO and I must say Ms. Magnes was a delight! After taxes, her lottery win turn was about $1.5 million. The first advice SO gave her was to pay off all outstanding debts. Duh!   The largest and most interesting debt immediately Ms. Magnes paid was the mortgage on her home (result of her divorce settlement) - valued at approximately $500,000 - mortgage payment approximately $250,000. Ms. Magnes was completely overjoyed to be able to pay off this debt (as a result of her lottery win of course) - stated she danced around her now debt free home to celebrate her good fortune. However shortly after that, her anxiety about the lottery $$$ returned.   SO advised her to get in touch with the person who handles her $$$ and assure her contact person would help her invest her $$$ wisely. SO also advise her that, once she was became more secure about her windfall, she should use this time to find her real "passion" in life - that's where she would find her real joy!!! Very good segment - really enjoy SO advice to Ms. Magnes.
