You are what you are, winning millions will only amplify it. Or, in the case of those animals in NO, loosing everything will only ampllify your inside. I belive all humans have built-in animal instincts, and unless your family teaches you respect and provides you inspiration, you will grow into an animal. Inside, You are ALWAYS what your your mother made you. Inside, she is what her mother made her. Fathers provide the guidance, mothers make the inner person. It is the same for Christians, Hebr...

To me it sounds like he confused an annuity with lucky for life. Doesn't sound like he's socking enough away for his post-check retirement . Ironically if he had chosen cash then stuck the cash in a perpetual annuity he could stand a better chance of living this kind of lifestyle.

Makes me feel for all those people with dental problems who didn't win the lottery. It's nice to hear about winner who has his/her act together and is living the good life.

I'm always a little skeptical about everyone and about everything and plus I have financial advisers who just tell me, Don't make a move until you've spoken to me , and I don't, he said. He's obviously had a number of advisors counseling him on his choices. If he's going to spend a considerable amount of money and time accumulating art work and other collectibles, investments that he can enjoy as well as profit from, it might be a good idea to receive the money in an annuity to force some sp...

Let's see, do I stay at home and study intensive voice, do vocal eases intensely for three months, or do I go to Rome and buy shoes? You know, it's hard. It's a hard decision, but I always pick the shoes, he said. it must be nice

Everyone needed some sort of salary. But, you know, 'no' became a very easy word to say. In fact, there's like a little lottery association in America with all their lottery winners and my advice to all of them is to just say 'no' until you can get used to your money, he said.________________________________________________________________Good advice

Hmmm.... maybe someone is a little overly sensitive, eh? Do you really think all the winner stories are about people who chose annuity, or do you want an opportunity to modify that question?Also, as I've told you before, for some people, annuity may be the way to go. Obviously, with this guy, he seems like he benefits from the NY Lottery having set up an annuity for him, rather than needing to manage his finances himself.Whenever I see something where someone tries to issue a blanket statement...

Sounds like this guy's dentist also won the lottery I'm happy for this guy. He seems well grounded and satisfied with the post jackpot decisions he's made.

When winning a lottery, I think John Falcon changed his life. I think investing in 26 Payments was good enough so he gets paid every year. By doing that, his life is easier and happier.

It's pretty obvious that winning the lottery would have a great capacity to change your life, though not always for the better.

So imagine what it was life for New Yorker John Falcon who six years ago won $45 million when his lucky numbers came up.

From living in a modest tenement apartment he now lives in the Trump Tower, and after years trying to build a career as a singer and actor, he can now afford to hire his own theaters.

What's more, a movie of his lottery winning life another s... [ More ]
