This is What Happens When a Sidewalker Wins the Lotto

[Fanny Bomb]

Britain's youngest Lotto winner is going to Sue the Lotto for 'Ruining her Life'! So she wants to punish Camelot for giving her money and ruining her life by forcing them to give her more money?
I think there might be a flaw in her plan! Jesus wept.

Yeah I read about this.

She argues that it's "not about the money" and that she is just trying to get the message out that giving a 16 year old £1m is dangerous and "stressful"

I think she is propably right tbh. If she had EARNED that money I guarantee she wouldn't have been way more responsible with it.

At 16 £1m could set you up for life if used as a tool. But no 16 year old has gained the life experience to know that yet.

True, I guess it's about having the right people around you at that age to guide you into making sensible decisions with it. I'd have blown the lot at that age I'm sure!

Slightly off topic but in terms of mindset and perspective I like this guys video on winning the lotto. His style is pretty 'Wacky' but i thought it was quite insightful.

Suing people to get the message out? Lawsuits are expensive as hell!
This is why I don't like it when people waste money and time to sent out any message.

Getting money is stressful if you don't know what in the hell to do with it, let alone do a Fastlane venture with it.
Getting fuel into the car is stressful if you don't know what in the hell to do with it. For all you know, it could blow you to bits sky-high considering its flammability.

@Waspy, on experiences, let's say that you and I are not willing to face certain experiences in life. There's a reason why people run away from monsters in movies.

Agreed I'm 20 and have the knowledge to retire really soon with that.

At 16 I would have bought a 1 million $ lambo and it'd be gone. And I probably would have crashed the lambo within a week too. Teens are reckless lol.

Most adults would of done that too haha.

We fastlaners are truly a minority.

True that it will for someone young and with no sense. I would probably be a damn monster if I'd had everything given to me at 17.

That said, when the prodigal son wasted his inheritance and came home, he didn't sue his dad for more money.

I don't believe her for 1 second. If she is truly that miserable, she doesn't have to cash the checks or keep the money. She could give it all away and go get herself a JOB. I'm calling BS on her.

 

[thegreenone90]

So she's basically suing the Lotto for money because they have ruined her life giving her money? That should solve it all. I guess it sound plausible enough in her head to try to get a new handout

You don't get regular checks with a win like that. One day your account just has 6 more zeros on it.

And it's funny you say about giving it away. She said one of the most stressful things was choosing who to give money to and how much... so stressful

Sounds like she just wants attention.

The first thing she did was get a boob job, then two properties, a Louis Vuitton handbag, a chihuahua and a new car. Sounds like she's trying to live a movie star lifestyle.

Now she's in the news talking about "considering" suing them. After they did this:

Bosses at Camelot, who run the EuroMillions lottery, say they appointed an independent financial and legal panel to help Jane manage her winnings as well as putting her in touch with another winner who scooped a jackpot at the same age.

This sounds a whole lot like someone who just wants more attention and has nothing to do with suffering.

Regardless, this is typical news. Stats show that most lottery winners are back where they started a few years after winning. You can solve bad money habits with more money.

It's almost like young people with large sums of money they didn't earn are notorious attention whores.
