Answer 3

Several years ago a lady I use to work with had a brother that won 1 million dollars.  and last year my daughters boss won 250 thousand on a scratch off.

Answer 4

Yes, of course. Though.. he didn't really know how to spend his money very well. *sigh.

He was a very lucky guy to win the lottery twice.

He won $220 million in 2005 and in another year - he won $85 million. Not sure, if you ever heard of him but his name is Brad Duke.

And this is how he spent his $85 Million:

- $45 million: Safe, low-risk investments such as municipal bonds.

- $35 million: Aggressive investments like oil and gas and real estate.

- $1.3 million: A family foundation

- $63,000: A trip to Tahiti with 17 friends

- $125,000: Mortgage retired on his 1,400-square-foot house

- $18,000: Student-loan repayment

- $65,000: New bicycles, including a $12,000 BMC road bike

- $14,500: A used black VW Jetta

- $12,000: Annual gift to each family member

Answer 5

That is a great question.  But think about it.  do you think anyone who win's over 1 million dollars would spend anytime on the computer.

There are boats, travels, retirement...
