Most of the information provided by all these articles is mostly common sense. Or perhaps it seems that way to me being I have studied lottery windfall preparation for many years. However it seems that most people who win do not have any clue what to do, and I doubt any of them who do win will ever even see these articles. They are not even smart enough to do an internet search probably.

Typical media, they feed off the few extreme negative cases, and ignore the majority who went on to having successful lives with little or no problems after a lottery win. You keep hearing the same few names over the years. Nothing that bad is going to happen to you unless you are a complete and total idiot, who never knew how to manage money or your life in the first place. Unless you are REALLY unlucky after being so lucky.

I welcome any stress associated with winning millions, as I have al... [ More ]

I'd be curious to see it too. I ran Sudden Money Institute in Google and found their website:

www.suddenmoney.com

I also found this article at MSN that had some interesting info about coming into money suddenly, including some good tips:

On another note, I wonder if this organization has ever done an interview or an article for LotteryPost? It might be informative if they did.... [ More ]

I came across this article in Maxim Magazine a while back. IT was a story on the nightmares that followed winning the lottery. It also has some important advice from the Sudden Money Institute, which specializes in counseling big winners. Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to said article. However, if interested, please PM me. I welcome your comments.
