Re: How to blow your lottery winningssaid by Thane_Bitter:Boils down to her lack of common sense, it is something that can't be bought, hired or leased. She seems to lack control over many aspects of her life, if she had a planner she no doubt would have ignored the many warning issued and kept on burning through the cash anyways. The difference is once the accounts hit zero she would have blamed the planner for "mismanagement". I'm not disagreeing with you... But at least a little education, and support may have helped. It may not have changed the outcome, but it couldn't have hurt any. Of course, I'd like to have the chance to burn to 10 Million myself, one day; just to see what it's like... |

OLG should offer some free initial financial advice which any financial adviser who wasn't an idiot would pay OLG to get the referral btw. The OLG is in a win-win with this. All us DSLR, "I'm smarter than everyone else" types lap this story up with images of what we would have done. |

Hell, I don't understand how to manage it - but at least I know that I don't know. The only thing I know I would have done differently myself, is get some advice from someone who DOES know. I'm self-aware enough to realize I'm actually pretty bad with money... Like I said initially, it would be nice if some planning and advice was made available - but puts the Lottery Corp's on a slippery slope, too... |

i believe they do encourage people to seek financial advise...not surprising the Star makes no mention of this...they want you to feel sorry for her, you know, because she is somehow a victim here. |

As much as some in here may think they know everything I don't think anyone in here has the knowledge to handle that amount of money. Actually without several experts in the mix there isn't one person who could deal with that amount of money in the most fiscally prudent manner. |

You would be wrong on both counts. |
