Girl win $3 million in lottery and blows it all on coke & clothes

Quote from Millionaire:

Slightly unfair, she was only 16 and unless her parents were good with money and were going to help her out she didnt stand much of chance.

Also it was her boyfriend who blew most of the money on the coke.

Im sure her parents didnt tell her that drugs and clothes were priorities in a young womans life. She made that decision on her own.

This story is typical of lottery winners though. Look at that guy that won 300 million in the powerball lottery and is now broke. He was a business owner that (if i remember right) did over a million in revenue per year. He was "good with money" in his business, yet when he won that 300 million what did he do? He took briefcases of cash to strip clubs, got involved with some real seedy people, got robbed plenty of times because of the people he hung around with. So it actually is a fair assessment that Money does amplify who you are.

For instance...if you are a generous, kind person when you are broke, you will be more generous and kind when you have money. If you are an asshole when you are broke, you will be a huge asshole when you are rich. If you love shopping when you are broke, you will go out and buy everything you want and dont want when you are rich.

He didn't even get fake boobs to remember his money by, like this girl did. :p

Wow. Check out this guy's Wiki. Holy crap, this sounds like a far fetched script:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Whittaker_(lottery_winner)

I still remember the day that guy won and he was on TV. He said "I've worked for everything all my life. Nobody ever gave me nothing...Until today"

Amazing that he had the business sense to get his net worth to 17 million, but then lost all business sense when he got the money. Who puts millions of dollars in a regular checking account?
