There's all kinds out there.
There's those who win a lot of money, and before they know it, they've spent it all, and therefore they wish they would have handled it differently. There's those who feel like they gave so much away to all their friends and relatives who came looking for a handout, that there was almost nothing left for themselves. There are those who invested a huge portion of their winnings into schemes that didn't work out, and some of those schemes turned out to be scams. There are some who simply use the money to manifest dreams they've had for a long time, and they're able to manage it all in a way that is useful to their intentions.
Then there's the middle-aged couple that lived in a trailer. I don't remember how much they won, but it was a around a few million. So, they spent a few years buying a whole bunch of nice things and traveling. After the money was gone, they were once again living in a trailer. The reason they're my favorite story? They didn't feel the least bit regretful about it. Money was for spending, and when they had a winning lottery ticket, they took advantage of it and had a really good time. The fact that they ended up back where they started didn't detract from the fabulous time they'd had when they were spending the money. They didn't care what anyone else thought, or what advice others were trying to give them. They just did what made them happiest. I give them a thumbs up.
