Once you have won a jackpot you life is definitely going to change. Whether good or bad completely depends on how and where you spend your winnings. Stories of lotto winners make an interesting news and prove to be a guide to future lotto winners. The saying “the more things change the more they remain the same” has often been found to be true when tracking the lives of some of the biggest lotto winners. Winning the jackpot is a very unusual event where an individuals gets an opportunity where he can affect the lives of uncountable others who are not so lucky.

Time and again have we seen people who have been declared 649 jackpot winner, with a bottle of champagne in hand, that a jackpot win is not going to change them one bit. Nevertheless, facts show that more than half of 649 jackpot winners moved to a bigger house in the countryside. More than two thirds of the winners gave more than £ 1 million to a relatives or close friend. More than two thirds of all big lotto winners own property overseas. 90% of the big time lotto winners were in the workforce when they won, however, only 25% are still working. Most lotto winners have purchased more than one luxury car. Almost all winners continue to play the 649 lotto even today.

The year was 2005; Brad Duke of Idaho was leading a normal life before rise of his fortunes. Brad was working as a manager for Gold’s Gym franchises when he hit the $220 million Powerball jackpot. Brad hit a fortune by winning $85 million as his share of the jackpot and immediately started managing his finances. Within a month of winning Brad put together a team of financial advisers to manage his new found wealth. By putting his money in an intelligent way his was only concerned about becoming a billionaire. Brad capitalized more than half of his winnings in low-risk investments such as municipal bonds. 35 million were invested in stocks, and real estate that involve high risk high return. He founded a family foundation and managed $ 1.3 million, paid off his mortgage of $125,000 and student loan of $18,000, gifted each family member $12,000 went for a trip to Tahiti with his friends, the cost of the trip was $63,000. But unbelievably he bought himself a used car, a black VW Jetta for $ 14,500. Today Brad has wealth over $140 million. Brad took some time off after winning but eventually went back to work at Gold’s Gym.

Brad’s story is totally different from the story of a 19 year old Michael Carroll. Michael won a big £ 9.7 million in November 2002 but succeeded to knock all the money. Today he is back to where he was before winning. Michael didn’t take the advice of experts and well wishers and squandered the wealth that others only dream off.

These are some mind-boggling stories of lotto winners. Winning a mega jackpot is in itself an astonishing moment that one should enjoy but it is advised that before making any investment one should think properly.

Wishes you all the best.
