NO. They've already proven what not to do.

If anyone made a major score like a jackpot do they really need someone else to tell them not to keep over $100,000 in their car and hang out at strip clubs? (Whitaker)

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Point Taken Coin Toss- however l was watching this piece on YouTube featuring Kali Muscle and he goes into saying how he wasted precious time in prison when he could have been doing positive things. He now visits prisons and homes for troubled teens and lectures on " what not to do". It's pretty impressive.
I would post the link but the language he uses is not PG.
With that in mind l made the connection on " what not to do" with these guys. They have first hand experience.

I wouldn't need their advice. I'm not the type of person who would blow through money. I save money and would have the same mind set if I won a massive jackpot. That doesn't mean I would sit on the money and not spend it but I would make sure generations after me would be able to enjoy the money and not have any worries. It's mind boggling how these people blow through this money.

Generally people who need advice are not the ones who listen to them. That's why they need it in the first place. Advice is everywhere, if you're willing to listen you wouldn't be in their position in the first place.

Funny you should say that Yoho- people who are alcoholics and seek to clean up their lives will go to AA meetings and listen to people who have " a story to tell" and these folk will go on for what seems like ages, telling it like it is, and people would sit there and soak it all in because they too are in the same boat.Yet when it comes to the lottery and money, everyone seems to know it all, they wont do this, they wont do that once they have those Benjamin's in hand- everyone is an expert, well why not listen to these " experts" on not what to do?

Pointless saying " l have heard it all".. no you have'nt because you have not been a Millionaire for one- and two, you have not lost bigtime.

If you listened to the experts you wouldn't be wasting you money playing the lottery in the first place. Why would you want their advice after you've won and proved they didn't now what they were talking about.

No Way!

I know exactly what to do with my new found money. My wife and I are simple people and plan to stay that way.

Heck no they might want you to pay for their crappy advice...LOL or maybe they'd just hound you for a loan...Give you their hard luck stories....Dave Edwards would be like man I won 41 million but I lost it but I still need back surgery...can you help me out LOL and Jack Whittaker well he still has money so he'd probably just want to talk your ears off while someone breaks into your Navigator while it's parked outside the strip club you're at and the robbers will steal the duffle bag with 250,000 dollars you were so stupid to leave behind in a locked car...LOL

I already have a plan in place that involves remaining as anonymous as possible and listening to my financial advisor.

i think anyone over the age 55 will need financial advice after winning the lottery because those that are in that age group tend to be blowing their money frivolously.
