I bought a ticket, and if I won, the first thing I do is call my finantial advisor, yup I got one, believe it or not.

The second is call my lawyer

Set trusts.

I hope she does that.

Some lottery winners lose all, some winners take the steps I just outlined above and go to live nice relaxed lives.

You buy a ticket to buy a chance at that. If you understand statistics and probability you buy just one.

What I read in your post is truly sour grapes.
