I've never been much of a people person especially with a group of people I don't know and have no interest in knowing. I very much prefer to keep to myself and feel little need to go out and meet new people. Of course if they find out you have millions and millions of dollars you won't have to go anywhere to meet them, they'll all come to you.

Well, I should mention that these are the guys that I work with and that I work in an entirely male environment. I work at a Water Reclamation Facility. Outside of work I don't hang with these guys. I'm pretty much a loner.

I liken myself to Henry David Thoreau in that I prefer my own company. Don't get me wrong, I love humanity, but I'm just not fond of people.

I am. And I feel really anxious because I am getting my bachelor's degree at a state university at the age of 33. It's 10 years too late.

Well, since my parents plan to move to a senior housing, technically I don't have to support them under the same roof. But I still have to give them some allowances often. It will be nice if I win a few million dollars after tax, not to exceed 10 million dollars.

Come to think of it, I don't need $100 million dollars or more. Not even 20 million dollar... [ More ]

Why are you only asking single men and women? I mean, if you win $200 million you can afford to have 2 or 3 husbands. Still, it's easier to just feed them and send them home.

As an elderly widow who was married to one man for 39 years, I have no particular desire to marry again, jackpot or not. In the remote chance that I did, I'd definitely insist upon a prenuptial agreement.

As a divorced woman who has been lied to and cheated on....no. Not now. Not in the future. Regardless of before or after I win the jackpot. I seem to have developed trust issues. I'll stick with my little dogs, my kittie cats, and my horses. There's enough love there, and from my kids and my friends, to keep me happy.

This post reminds me of a joke that is common among the guys that I know, all of who play the lottery. And the joke goes something like this. If I won the lottery, the first thing that I would do is call my wife and tell her, pack your things, honey, I just won the lottery! And my wife would respond, That's great, honey, where are we going? And I would tell her, I'm not going anywhere, but you've got to get the heck out

I also have no desire to get married at this point. In the future, maybe, but if I were to win in the near future, marriage will not be on the menu for me.

I would get married again but this time, have much, much better legal pre-nuptual agreement drafted.

To protect both of us.

Hey? Whats with the little green dressed figure in my avitar? Did I miss some announcement

Are you Korean? When I went to Korea to teach English, I recall a couple of my Korean friends telling me that it's a Korean tradition for the eldest sons to take care of the parents and continue the family by getting married and having kids. Geez, seems like the oldest son get screwed

I am the eldest of the entire clan. Marriage is my duty. I just hope that I would meet a nice girl who would not drain my lottery prize.

Let's be realistic. Solid finance is a crucial element for a healthy marriage. Love itself won't pay the electrical bills or medical insurance.

Still, having your future spouse owning tens of millions dollars in the bank account will be overwhelming. You will be easily succumbed into the life of excess.

That's why winners who are single should find... [ More ]

There are plenty of miserable marriages among poor people, too.

In that case one would hope for some good insurance and a good divorce lawyer.

You win big and buy a fancy house, big yacht, fast car, private jet, marry a trophy wife.

The house burns down, the boat sinks, the car is stolen, the jet crashes and the wife divorces you and gets the money.

The lesson is never to buy what you can lease. BobP

No I have no reason for marriage, I want to travel, and the money would give me the ability to finally do it.. Right now all I can do is dream of travelling.. Plus paying off the bills...

Married? No thanks, I have zero interest in getting married now or after winning a jackpot and if for some reason I were to, which I won't, there certainly would be a prenuptial agreement signed before hand and if they don't like it, oh well. But again, I wouldn't get married so it wouldn't matter. If I met someone after winning I wouldn't tell that person anything about where my money came from anything other than my self employment, even if I'm my own, only client. I certainly wouldn't be flau... [ More ]

I think sometimes, it not the money. I think everyone just wants to be loved.

It doesn't matter if they got married BEFORE they got the money. Like I said, money make people two-faced. This is why I'm skeptical.

Littleoldlady — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:13:21 GMT

Whatever was going on BEFORE they got the money will just seem like it is magnified. A person should know the person they marry. if one of them wants out, they wanted out anyway...the money just gave them more of an incentive to get out.

Question to single men and women on the forums.

SmoothJuice — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:07:50 GMT

If you won the jackpot, would you get married? Not because of the jackpot. I'd be pretty skeptical if I won the jackpot. People are two-faced when money is shown. I've heard numerous horror stories where people are having a successful and loving marriage; when money is shoved in their faces, they become two-faced. I'd be scared. Don't try to act innocent, money changes everyones' behavior.
