No, you don't.

Neither will I give you 1 million! Who'll give you 1 million, anyway. Go work

Thank you justxploring. =)

Eh? Certainly, I'm not speaking for you. You're not even in my world, much less my consciousness. Be sorry, but not for me. Obviously, you will NEVER understand what I am talking about.

I understand what you were saying quite easily and I'm not sorry for you, I said sorry but speak for yourself. And don't worry about me not being in your consciousness or your world, it doesn't bother me one bit. I am sure it's much better that way.... [ More ]

I guess I will never understand what you are talking about either.

You must be part of the upper class.

Give me 1 million dollars and I could retire and be happy.

You can't retire on 4 million dollars? Sorry, but speak for yourself. I bet a good many people could retire off that amount, in fact many people have to retire on less then that. Like my grandparents did and they lived fine.

Your plan spells DISASTER to me! To stick 4 mill in the bank to live on the rest of your life is a sure loser. 4 mill is nothing, especially if you have just made yourself accustomed to an extravagant lifestyle, like blowing 5 mill.

I already have a net of 4 mill in diversified assets - and I feel, I am just starting. I can tell you that 4 mill just sitting in the bank is not a good idea, and not enough to retire on.

As starters, develop the mind set of a millionare. As we have ju... [ More ]

Well said.

If it was me, as I posted elsewhere, I'd still lock up a fair chunk to live on in my moderate way the rest of my life, I wouldn't buy mansions and penthouses and antiques, I think about all I would do (for myself) would be to buy a slightly larger house (maybe 5,000 sq feet) right here in Nebraska, and then 2 or 3 exotic cars, and travel more.

I saw this guy on TLC too.

Gloating on all of his stuff and the price he paid for each piece was silly.

The part that got to me was when he said to his daughter, You didn't win the lottery. Daddy did, and that's why I have a maid. You have to clean your room yourself.

That little girl just stood there like a victim of a 'carnie' gone mad, stuck on a ride... very sad.

I saw that TLC special as well. I also didn't think his money would last the way he was spending it. I'm guessing that he probably sold some of those antiques as well to have some spare cash. In terms of his unpaid debts, perhaps we'll see him on Judge Judy in the near future.

Just once let me win a huge jackpot and show these yokels who blow their winnings in a year or two how it's done! I'd love to be the lottery winner who carefully invested his money and became a Billionaire and didn't blow all his money on drugs and mansions. Of course the media wouldn't cover that they only like BAD news

Similarly, a lot of people on LP seem to like the bad news, enjoy talking about it (assuming this news is bad, which it mightn't be)

For that matter, why not give Wh... [ More ]

I don't think they hit the jackpot, but I agree that they got a good deal. I wonder where Edwards is

David Edwards(Powerball winner) home sold

petergrfn — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 16:43:30 GMT

The PBG home of lottery winner David Edwards was auctioned for $400,000 in a forfeiture sale at the WPB courthouse. Edwards, who won $42 million in a 2001 Powerball drawing in Kentucky, then moved into a $1.2 million home near the likes of Venus and Serena Williams at BallenIsles, was running behind in his maintenance payments. So the homeowners forced the sale. Real estate investors Gerti Kleikamp and Alfons Schmitt, of Palm Beach, won the 6,000-square-foot golf-course home. We haven't decided... [ More ]
