The history of lottery winners, as well as many other things, shows that what the psychologist said is generally true. Plenty of people don't do well with major changes in their life, even when others only notice the positive changes. No matter how well grounded the winner(s) may be, things are going to be very different. If nothing else, Joe Walsh had it right:

It's tough to handle

This fortune and fame

Everybody's so different

I haven't changed

That's exactly what I'm thinking rdgrnr! Be happy! Start spending!

If anyone has a problem or will have one...ie: hiding instead of claiming their prize winnings..they shouldn't be playing.

this psychologist is dead on. this is why i preach to only play the under let's say 10m state lotteries. avoid powerbore and meggie millions as they are nearly impossible to hit and hitting it will envitably bring problems. everyone seems greedy and wants those 100m jackpots, but you really don't need that much as you will be constantly hounded by individuals for a cut...

... just published book, think yourself dead.

my geuss is the winner hasnt checked their ticket yet. its not like the britts need to consult tax lawyers before claiming. assuming they dont deposit it in an interest bearing account they never have to pay 1 red cent of tax. that would really irk the gov over there ehehehe. i hear things are pretty tight in old blighty.

well gratz to the winner. it was fun dreaming of me winning that 1/4 of a billion. keep on rolling

One way to better insure that if you win you will not become depressed and end up bankrupt emotionally is to create a compelling vision of the future for youself that includes contributing back to society in some meaningful way. Creating a hands-on solution to a social concern or problem or in some way helping others fulfills on of the six basic human needs, contribution. Many people who are rich reach a point in their lives where they ask the question is this all there is? and may find very lit... [ More ]

I thought the article was being realistic about the matter and not sugar coating it. THe message was : Change will happen and must happen , IS the winner capable of adapting to that change. I didnt see it in a negative way.Maybe thats because WHEN i win, I have adapted thru much and this would be no different.

I simply hope its a family person and not a group.

snip . I was thinking the same thing. I read that and wondered why I'm even playing the lottery.

I can say with absolute certainty (especially after this past couple of weeks) that if I'm lucky enough to win a jackpot, I will never, ever, ever, ever sell another stick of furniture. Ever.

Ever.......

Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did I say ever???????

Sounds like I just love my job.

Not.

Wow, that newspaper and the psychologist make you want to hang yourself just from reading about how terrible a thing it is for someone to win.

Apparently there are libs over there too, wanting to throw a wet blanket on the party.

For the winner this is a time to be happy and get drunk, not depressed. Where do these people come up with this stuff?

One ticket sold in Britain wins biggest European jackpot ever

Lottery Post — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:23:21 GMT

Worth 161 million (US$258.4 million) but still unclaimed, a Briton holds the lottery ticket that will place them amongst the richest people in the country.

When the lucky recipient of Europe's biggest lottery win to date does claim the prize, he or she will be launched straight into the list of the top 500 richest people in the UK, going straight in at number 430, shifting the likes of Sir Tom Jones and David Bowie down a notch in the rich list .

The ticket is worth just 4m less than the f... [ More ]
