Money can solve a lot of problems, but if I'm not attracted to the man before he wins, I certainly will not be attracted to him after he wins. NO! I would not marry a man for his money. To me, LOVE is the most important thing.

Doubtful, since marriage in this day and age is so short lived. Besides I carry the idea that his debt or wealth is his, so it would be of no bearing (influence) . His character and likeability would play a major role.

Then there is the publicity of being a gold digger. Which doesnt go away. Anna Nicole was a perfect example of that life style and image.

Many people have married into poverty just because they love someone deeply. It sounds foolish, but I will take the same road.

I forgot to answer my own question. In all honesty I would at least give it a try. Why not make it so my life is alot easier. I wouldn't have to worry about high gas prices and our messed up economy. I think most people would love to live without the worries of any financial burdens. Would I feel proud that I'm kinda freeloading no but I would make the best out of the situation. I wouldnt care what others thought of me either.

No, I know what I would expect from someone if I was a jackpot winner that permitted them to marry me and there is no way I would ever put myself in a similar position. But then I'm not the type of person that seek the company of people with lots of money and I don't have much respect for those who do.

I chose yes, but it is more like a maybe.

I am pretty open minded.

If they were a good person, and I liked being around them, but did not have the physical thing going, I might not marry them normally. With lots of lottery money the freedom to do what you want and enjoy your time might make up for less sparks in the bedroom. Also, in your scenario, the person is totally into you, which is also a huge plus. Having someone that is dedicated and loyal to you would be some pretty positive stuf... [ More ]

No way! I may not be wealthy, but I basically do what I want when I want and get by fine in my retirement. At this age I'm likely too set in my ways to marry anyone again, let alone someone who would likely think he should have most of the say since he has most of the money.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't be happy marrying for money.

I have married a winner however, he is my soulmate and that makes both of us a winner.

And, money isn't everything? I could not do it myself. Personally it would not be worth the false effort.

Well to be perfectly honest....I might give it one hell of a try....when you are poor most of your life...something like that sounds awful tempting....money has a way of seduceing. Haven't we all been persuaded one time or another?

For real, the type of person I am.....I would just be honest right up front. If the person really had an attraction towards me....maybe we could just work something out...and I'm not talking about trading SEX either. I would work hard for what ever I received...be... [ More ]

How long will this person live after the 'I do's? (Anna Nicole, anyone

Very old, sexist joke. (although I do not see anything funny about it) Why is a woman what you are and a man is not? Most men will say yes for free!

Thanks, Pac. At least you're honest.

A woman is in a bar near Wall Street. (Wait! It's near Wall St. so we'll call it a tavern.)

In walks a guy dressed in a very expensive suit. He sits near her and orders a drink. He asks her what she's drinking and she notices his $10,000 Rolex.

He has the bartender give her a drink, they make some small talk, and then he says, Would you slep with me for $1 million... [ More ]

Just admit that we too are pigs and the females will understand. It's a quirky thing with women. They're not dumb, but on the other hand they do want assurance.

C'mon....don't you know how to go with flow?

This board is filled with sexist attitudes! But I guess that's just representative of our country, isn't it?

woman do it all the time, marry guys for money

...and men don't marry women for money?

and sense of security

Judging from all the deadbeat Dads and the number women who are working 2 jobs just to keep food on the table, guess it isn't working

If I wasn't attracted to the person or we had nothing in common, then honestly no I probably wouldn't. I have no desire to be in a relationship with someone who I am not compatible with...no matter how much money they have or won.

I'd love to meet a sugar momma. I'm stubborn too, but with that kind of money I'd adjust. No problem !

I can manage a grouchy b**ch and have my fun on the side.

There are ways around everything.

Wish I could change my vote. I voted yes before I read your post. Sorry.

No, I've dated lots of men who are extremely wealthy and didn't marry them. However, sometimes I look back and think I'm an idiot. A couple of them were a heck of a lot richer than a PB or MM winner. Still, if I could go back in time, maybe I'd give them another chance! LOL

Considering my age and the age of the typical MM/PB winner? No, I wouldn't even ponder the thought. Besides, if the winner was my age they probably wouldn't want to marry me either.

I would never make how much money a woman has, part of the equation for marriage.

At my age I doubt if any lady winning $160M would have any thoughts about marrying me. I know if I won $160M I wouldn't be looking for any one to marry if I wasn't promised to them before I won.

Marry a MM/PB Winner?

GoldenWhun — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:14:43 GMT

Lets say they hit a 160 million dollar jackpot.

Would you marry a MM/PB Lotto winner even though you were not physically/emotionally attracted to him/her?

Or if the winner wasn't your type or just somebody you normally wouldn't have a relationship with.

Even if the winner wanted to be with you so bad.

Please be honest and explain why/why not.
