Many people probably fantasize about winning the lottery. In reality, the odds of winning any lottery are 1 in 300 million. We actually have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than we do winning the big lottery prize. Nevertheless, about 50% of Americans still buy at least one lottery ticket a year, hoping they will be that one lucky person among the 300 million.
I personally have won only a few bucks. But what's it like to know a winner of a real lottery prize? One netizen was curious to know, so they asked: "Have you ever actually met/know someone who has won the lottery? What happened to them?" Surprisingly, there are a lot of folks who know lottery winners! And each story differs from the rest.

My friends mom won like $100k or so when we were in grade 6. She was a single mom of 2 and they we’re pretty poor. She used it to give her kids a better, more comfortable life. It was little changes like the next winter they had new winter jackets and boots and stuff, not the worn old hand me downs they always had. My friends next birthday she got to have a big party for the whole class, nothing crazy just pizzas and stuff, but she’s never gotten to have that before and she was so happy.

I lack the right words to appreciate this genius called Dr Nicson, A man that has constantly lifted people from poverty to wealth by casting a lottery spell and revealing the winning numbers to them. My wife divorce me because we were financially unstable, our doubt grew and neighbors started avoiding us and this got her pissed so she left. I was heartbroken and also financially broken at the same time that I almost took my life, I did research for a better life online when I saw testimonies of people appreciating Dr Nicson for casting a lottery spell and revealing the winning numbers to them so I contacted him immediately and he responded. I provided his requirements to cast the spell and he gave me a 6 digit number which I went to the lottery store and bought my ticket and soon got a notification that I have won $40 million dollars. I lack words to appreciate this genius, join me appreciate him via email: drnicsonspelltemple@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +1 716 209 7880

I had a patient, a hairdresser who owned her own shop, who won about 6 million. Her winnings were announced in the local newspaper.
She consulted the right professionals, worked a plan to sell her salon, and mapped a way to retire on her winnings without a change in her lifestyle.
But she told me that she had old boyfriends, and even guys that barely knew her in high school, who called her with some variation of, "you know I always loved you..."
She just laughed and blew them off.

Lottery winnings are taxable income in the US. You're guaranteed to pay federal income tax on it, but depending on where you live, you may not need to pay state income taxes. For example, California does not tax lottery winnings.

Guys, in all those countries the Lottery is run by the respective Federal government. In US they are illegal because back in the day those same countries complained about their citizens being ripped off by scam Lotteries in the US.The Progressive Movement/religious revival at turn of the century -er OK the one before that - cemented the deal.Federal withholding is 24% .which is stupid because Federal Income Tax rate goes up to 37% at $609,350.00.

I live in North Sweden in a rented apartment that is 1 floor, nothing up or down. It was built in the late 60s and apart from fibre Internet they haven't renovated it at all. Windows are really draughty and don't fit well plus there can't be much insulation in the walls as I can hear conversations happening outside as clearly as in the same room as me. Landlord is the local county and they refuse to renovate. I found out that they are limited on how much they are allowed to raise the rent so they wouldn't be able to pay for the updates.

My neighbor won the lottery in his sixties, it was something like 1.2 million in the late 90s. We lived in a trailer park in a rural part of the US, a pretty low cost of living area so the money stretched pretty far.He bought his trailer and land outright with the money and pretty much just spent everyday drinking on his porch and yelling at his goats. IIRC he used a good chunk of what he won to put his son and grandkids through college. Died of liver failure at like 85 or something. Not a terrible way to do it, all said and done.

I know someone who won $100,000 (after taxes) in his 20s. He bought his dream vehicle, a $20k motorcycle. The rest he used as a down payment on a house. It wasn’t life-changing money, but enough to give him a jump start on adult life. Kept his day job.

I know 2 people who have won significant sums (well, significant for me).
First guy won $100k back in the early 2000's. Him and his wife agreed to split it between them. She bought a car. He slowly lost most of his half over the course of a couple of years playing in poker tournaments.
Other people aren't friends, but I see them a few times a year. They won $61 million in 2013. They bought a home in my mom's neighborhood (lakeside property, but priced in the $200k - $500k range back in 2013, depending on which lot). I'd met them several times before finding out that they were "screw you" rich. You'd never know they were more than a regular retired couple who had enough money in the bank to take cruises and such. They are some of the most down-to-earth people I know; nice cars, but nothing fancy, etc.

Two people, actually. One was a friend of mine in high school who won $15k on a scratch and win. She rented a house downtown and threw a party. Somebody said I should stop by and check in on her, because they'd been down to the party and hardly recognized anybody. Sure enough, I got there, my friend met me on the door, put waaay too much money in my hands and told me to go get a bottle of wine. She just partied with whoever was around until it was gone, took about three weeks.
Next was a friend of mine from Toronto who is mostly known for doing zombie walks. She won a 'cash for life' dealio and I think it's around ten thousand a month. She bought a theramin and started making 50s-style monster movies and is generally living a high-rolling rockabilly lifestyle.

My uncle won $85k take home in the fantasy 5.
He spent the next month changing it into small bills and keeping it his in his garage.
My aunt never found out.
Anytime he wanted to make a purchase that was a little more than she would approve, he would act like the worlds best saver and break out all these smaller bills and pretend he saved it all.
He bought a newer bass boat and motorcycle among other things.

When I worked at a bank I helped a guy deposit a $300K+ check. The man looked like a regular guy, dressed in dockers and a polo, drove a 90s or 00s Camry type car, at first I was wary of the amount of the check but we got to talking (and I called to verify the check) and he said that he won something like $15million and this was his yearly check.
I always thought that was really smart of him to not draw attention to himself by dressing casual and driving a “beater”. At the time I looked up his address and he did have a nice house on the water, I’m sure he has other fancier cars but you wouldn’t know.

AFAIK, most U.S. lotteries give you the choice. All in one lump sum now or payouts over 20 years or so. If you're young, take the payouts because taxes are lower and you get more in the end. If you're older, take the lump sum. Or that's the general rule, I think.

I sold mortgages for a bit and talked to a lady who was dead broke, in mountains of debt and was trying to consolidate debt and refinance her house.
Through the course of conversation, it came to light that she won almost $4 million playing the lottery (and took home ~$2 mil after taxes) about 3 years earlier.
She was in bad financial shape, so I asked what she did with all the money and how she got into the situation she was in, and she honestly had no idea.
Her words were essentially "We took a few trips, bought 2 new cars, paid off the house and stuff, but I have no clue how I spent $2 million and racked up over $100k in credit card debt in 3 years.".

It's simple: Winning money does not change your previous spending habits at all. If you were always frugal, you most likely would continue, and the opposite would be true. Think of it this way: If you believe your house is too small since you have so much stuff, and you went and bought a bigger stuff, you would probably just add more stuff to it and be back to square one.

This is what happens very often with people who've never really had money. When they suddenly have spare cash, they blow past it in no time and end up worse off than they were before. One simple rule, invest in something safe, spend the interest/dividends and never touch the principle.

I'd guess that most probably went to helping family and foolish investments. People will crawl out of the woodwork when you're suddenly in money and have all kinds of hair-brained schemes that will bleed you dry. In-laws need a new roof, might as well remodel the kitchen while you're at it. Second cousin needs $100k to open a high-end salon that's sure to be a success and make you even richer. Throw in a bunch of luxury splurges (cars, jewelry, clothes, trips, for the whole family, of course) and I think you could go through it pretty quick. Sad but true.

Oh, you'd see me. I'd beautify my entire neighborhood, then my town even more than it already is. Too many people are entirely too comfortable with needlessly cutting down trees.

A girl I went to school with, her grandparents won 8 mil. They fixed up their house and cottage, then kept living normally beyond that.

Hard to believe but I know a few people.
- There was a middle aged guy in my childhood neighbourhood who won 10 million, he bought 2 cars within 2 weeks of winning it - Dodge Viper and a Bentley. He then sold his house and Last I heard he moved down south. He also gave some to his kids and he has a son that opened a heat pump business.
- My parents have a camper trailer in a trailer park and a couple who they sold their old trailer to won 1 million. They sold the trailer my parents sold to them and bought a brand new one (unsure of what else they did with the money), they still continue to work full time.
- My uncle, won 50k. He’s retired from the military and also has a job working for the government, he clears over 150k a year with his military pension along with his job. He was literally in the middle of building a 400k house when he won it. He split it amongst his 3 children (my cousins) and didn’t keep a dime.

It’s funny how $1 million doesn’t seem to be all that much anymore. When I watch old movies I marvel at how the bad guys always want a cool million to live the high life for the rest of their days.
#33
I know TWO people that won $30 million each - a coworker of my dad (my dad had to cover his shift when he didn't show for work - turned out he was at the lottery office claiming his win) and my sister's former assistant (she is still in touch with her - she built a home in and moved to France with her husband).

My grandparents won a couple hundred thousand back in the 80’s. Paid off their mortgage, and increased their retirement savings. Very practical. They still both worked until their mid-60’s when they sold their business.

I won the lottery once. Got 2 grand. I bought a computer.

I once had a yearly subscription to my state lottery. I think it was around $20 a year and it would automatically play my numbers every month. At the end of the year I won $4. So really I lost money. :)

Aunts older brother won severel millions in the 90s. Several trips to rehab 2 bankruptcy filings and now he's back working as a janitor.
#37
Technically, a kid from schools parents won a few hundred thousand.
His parents were chill, acted like they had the same money as before
But the kid was acting like a baller.

Don't have to win the lotto to have kids like that. I went to school with a lot of rich kids that thought they were so much better. In the meantime, I went to work at the age of 7. Along comes life as adult and going to work is just another day for me while they suddenly got slapped in the face with reality. It's so amusing to see all of those people now working for a living.

A mates brother was in a syndicate at work back in the early 90s. They won and he gave his car to his brother and was looking at buying a house. It turned out that it was the most people ever at the time to win and he ended up only getting $20K. He asked his brother for his car back.

My aunt won 200k in a slot machine. She owned like 25% of a chevy dealership, she sold her part, retired and she takes like 1 week vacation every 2 months.
Pencil McGovern 1 year ago
Her share of the dealership must have been worth a whole lot more than $200k because that's nowhere near "never work again" money.
Michael Largey 1 year ago
The average selling price for auto dealerships in the US is $4,320,000. And the aunt was probably already quite well-off from being a part owner of that business.

A friend of a friend won a high 6 figure settlement for police brutality.
They were trash and the money vaporized in a few years.... New cars that they trashed, a building that they didnt take care of.
The usual tale of 'If your not good with little money, you're going to be worse with a lot of money'.

Yes sir! Dude was a broke redneck hillby that was drunk off his a*s, drove to the gas station for more beer, got a lotto ticket, won a bunch of money.
The story as I heard it was, this was '01-ish, was after taxes and whatever he had $40M. Talked to a financial advisor, and they came up with a plan. $20M for him to blow, $20M for the advisor to invest. All tech stocks the investor tells him. So that is what they did.
Guy bought a new house, a boat, a car, vacation, new wife, the whole 9. I mean who cares if you blow it right, $20M is invested in .com stuff!
I dont see him much anymore. I dont think he has worked since then, but he is basically back to where he started, plus $1M or so...?
The guy was a tool, and not polite. But I feel bad that he actually had a decent plan to invest half, just a terrible financial advisor.

If there's ever a time to do your due diligence before hiring someone, it's with a financial advisor. [Should you ever have the luxury of needing one, that is.] SO many stories of these people just swindling their clients and "investing" in their own schemes or whatever.

Not a huge jackpot but a coworker won $10,000. Timing couldn't have been better because it was right before she got married. Nice way to start off.

I remember a short story (fiction) where at a pre-wedding party groom's friends played a joke on him pranking him to think he we won a gazillion dollars. In his excitement he told his fiancé "the wedding's off!" because he was marrying her for her wealth.
Seadog 1 year ago
As long as she didn't blow it like so many do, on a big extravagant wedding. No dress is worth a dime over $500 and no one is impressed with your $5k+ wedding, I don't care what they say to your face. They're more impressed if you keep it simple and use that money to start your new life, like making a nice down payment on a house.
Annie 1973 1 year ago
However, my middle daughter spent a fortune and they didn't even make it to their first anniversary before splitting. We live in Sweden and her fiancé's family are Swedish, however our family all live in the UK. So my daughter wanted to get married there and she wanted a huge wedding with everyone she knew. So hotel costs for a week, car hire, large wedding reception venue and everything else involved. I didn't go but her fiancé's family did. His dad and gf, his mom and her husband, his two brothers and their wives and two kids all paid for flights, hotels and car hire etc. His grandma wasn't well enough to travel but paid for a pro videographer. The amount spent on the wedding would have been enough to put down a large deposit on a house. Wasted

Someone got 30k or something. Not too much, not too less. She got a lot of hate for not "sharing her riches" whatever the f**k that means.

Relative won over $100 million. Got new houses, hired security to make sure kids stayed safe, then relationships with relatives and friends deteriorated because everyone thinks that money is theirs.

Yeah, if we hit, people would be coming out of the woodwork. Some would surely benefit though. But there are more than a few that would say "How much do I get?" Nuthin' Cheryl...nuthin".

In our state, if you win you can opt to not have your name published. My husband and I both said we would do that and those few we chose to give money to would have to sign NDAs to keep everyone else from hounding us.

Worked with a dude who had the top part of his ear bitten off by some rich person’s dog. Ended up getting like a quarter million.
The only thing he had to show for it was a beat up bmw and a d**g induced speech impediment.

The dog induced a speech impediment in him? Since it was an ear that was damaged, I'd expect a hearing impairment

Not the lottery, but I know someone who got into a minor accident on a rich person's property and made $2 million in a settlement. Spent nearly all of it on d***s and alcohol.
Seadog 1 year ago
Reminds me of a girl my oldest brought home once. Nice girl really but.... she'd gotten some kind of settlement from some accident she was in. She comes in and hangs her purse on the chair. Just a purse to me, you've seen one, you've seen them all. My wife on the other hand, knew what it was and after the girl left, told us about it. Yeah, as soon as she said it's a $300 purse, our son knew right then what any relationship with this girl would be like and never saw her again.

Met a couple that were working class from a small town in Ohio. They won $32million. They took the annuity or they would have spent it all within a few years. Both families felt like they should support them and expected handouts. Still do. They have no idea of the value of money. Nice people but it really did not so them any favors.

Old Guy won $1 mil at a casino. Paid his house off and went into retirement. Got bored 6 months later and worked in the cart barn at the municipal golf course. Played most days; then died a few years later from brain cancer.

My grandmother used to give all the grandkids scratch-off lotto tickets as a stocking stuffer. I won $500 when I was eight years old. My dad redeemed it for me. Half went into my very first savings account and the other half bought the bike I'd been drooling over for a whole four months. Lol

I know two people who won a million. My Dad's cousin, a fifty something year old man, with a wife and teenage son. He bought a house in one of the worst parts of town, a couple motorcycles, and daily d***s, alcohol, and crack hoes. He died within a year. The second, was a lady who would come into the store I worked at every day, to buy scratch tickets. She kept renting the same apartment, bought a new car, and got her hair done. The rest, she spent on more scratch tickets. She started buying whole books, of the $30 ones, sure she'd win big again. She ended up broker than she was before she won, because she'd quit her job.

Amelia Jade 1 year ago
I don't think they're doing it by choice. Our state doesn't have the lottery but neighboring states do. People will drive across the border to buy tickets. The rare occasion we play, we drive into the state that doesn't require you announce your winnings. We never buy tickets in the other state that does require. it. Just in case we ever win--we don't want anyone knowing about it.

If I were to win big (several million) I'd do the following: Get my driver's license and buy a Suzuki Jimny. Buy a house. Invest money. Get schooling in bio agriculture and start up a regenerative farm alongside a non profit that helps people in need and also fosters a connection within the community.

Suzuki Jomny is one of my favorites! I live in a nice apartment in a nice nighbourhood. I would update the bathroom and the floors and spend the rest on vacations. And on my kids of course. But first of all, do not tell anyone!

I won enough on the first season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? to seriously improve my credit rating and since I'd been poor for so long it was enough to seriously improve my life. I paid off all my daughter's student loans and have been living quite comfortably ever since. (btw- I intentionally didn't mention the amount so you can go watch it on YT.
