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.
Numerous times have we witnessed people who won the 649 jackpot declare that a jackpot win is not going to bring any changes within them. 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 handed over more than £ 1 million to relative and well wishers or friends. More than two thirds of all big lotto winners hold prime properties 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 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 a normal man. At the time When Brad won the $220 million powerball jackpot he was working as a manager for Gold’s Gym franchises. And astounding sum of $85 million was won by Brad in jackpot and he immediately went about managing his finances. Within a month of winning Brad put together a team of financial advisers to manage his new found wealth. His only goal was to be a billionaire by putting in his money in an intelligent way. Brad invested more than half of his winnings in low-risk investments like municipal bonds. 35 million were invested in stocks, and real estate who happens to have high risk high return character. He inaugurated a family foundation and alloted $ 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 estimated around $63,000.
