Winning the Lotto -- Lucky or Not?

Lotto Winner

If you happen to be a lotto winner your life is never going to be the same again. Not only your life, but the lives of friends and relatives will also change -- and the change may not always be pleasant. Life-altering things have happened to people who have overnight attained the status of being a lotto winner.

No matter how you have won the lotto, whether you drew the winning numbers yourself or used the windows lotto pro software, the fact is that you will be richer by tens of millions of pounds or euros, and things will start to change almost immediately.

Winning a record prize of £ 11 million, Mark Gardiner was confident that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his current problems vanished, he got into new ones that he was not capable of or trained to handling. Mark won the jackpot with business partner and friend Paul Maddison. They won a record £ 22 million; Mark's share was £ 11 million. Shunning the limelight, Paul faded into the background while Mark decided to have some fun.

Before he could grasp it, Mark blew half of his winnings. Though he gave to friends and relatives, bought expensive cars and houses, married and then divorced, his problems never seemed to end. His family rejected him as if he had committed a crime. Finally, Mark regained his bearings, grew wiser, and remarried his first wife, the childhood sweetheart he had divorced when he was penniless.

However, not every story is as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been more than a few people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won a life-changing £ 7,055,142. After screaming in disbelief she settled down and called her boyfriend and family and shared the news with them. Ianthe intends to share her new found wealth with her near ones and continues to pursue her studies in law school. The main new thing she planned to buy was a new vehicle.

An anonymous winner donated all winnings of $3 million to his church without batting an eye. The church has decided to expand to accommodate the growing congregation and donate some of the money to charities.
