At least here in the United States, big time lotto winners going broke is a tale as old as time. The majority of people who tend to win these lotteries aren't financially savvy individuals (typically why they are wasting money on cheap lotto tickets in the first place instead of putting their money on shitcoins or penny stocks, for example, that actually have a lot better chance at "winning") so they get the money and blow it.
Invest, invest and invest. If you win a bunch of money gambling..invest it people. Have fun, but invest the majority.
A person with a business mindset will definitely go for investing a very large chunk of the money they've won in something that they know can generate some money for them and that income stream won't just close down or cease to provide for him, and if one has a lot of money, they can create multiple streams for themselves and that will make their life easier. Even if someone wants to enjoy and have fun, they can always do that with the money they will earn from their businesses and investments.
However, a lot of people who manage to win significant amounts of money either through gambling or lotteries tend to waste that on materialistic things or just blow it away as you said, they don't make good use of the money and when the money runs out, that is when they realize what they've done.
I agree. I think there are some gamblers who were lucky enough to win a huge amount of money but they end up spending it on materialistic stuffs as you mentioned and wasting it. People with a good mindset would choose to invest that money in Bitcoin or real estate to generate long-term profits instead of squandering it on things that won't yield any returns.
Being wise and patient in this situation is really important. You must make really good decisions about how to use that money before you risk losing it for nothing.
Once you do hit up these numbers or to those money that you havent been able to held up on your entire life, then for sure the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on buying the things that you've been
wanting all your life which this is likely the thing that would happen first before you would be minding other stuffs like investment or having a business. We know that money could really be that easily to spend
and if you are really that having that impulsive approach then you would really be finding yourself becoming poor once again if those funds had completely be depleted. This is why you should really be that wise when it comes to spending if you dont really be liking to finding yourself that being poor again or in middle class. We know that $600k is already that big in 3rd world countries on which this is something that
could changed up your life completely and since this money isnt something that you could really get so easily or simply once in a lifetime opportunity then it is really jus that right that you should really be that
wise on how to make use of it well so that it wont really be coming to waste. Its not bad to buy up those things you do wish for but always be mindful on longer runs, always be having that good financial
management if you dont like on being poor again.
