    Young girl wins lottery and is now suing because she won.

    Source: http://nypost.com/2017/02/14/winning...uined-my-life/

    The youngest person ever to win the lottery in Britain wants to sue the jackpot honchos who made her wealthy because the dough “ruined her life,” according to a report.

    She’s sick of shopping, misses hustling for a paycheck and has struggled to find a boyfriend who isn’t using her for the dough, she said.
    So I'm trying to figure out what the end game here. What is the tactic.

    You are upset you were given money, so you sue for more money?

    All I can think logically is her coffers are running out and she won't know how to cope with not being rich anymore and needs a cash injection via a lawsuit?

    I dunno, other ideas?

    Yeah, I don't get it... Why sue them unless you just wanted more money? And it's also stupid fucking reasoning because if she wanted to stop doing those things, she could.

    How? Don't tell people you're rich. Don't go shopping all the time. Get a part-time or full-time job.

    Don't complain when you win it big. Hell, if you hate the money so much, you could give it to your family and charity!

    Slight clarification (or dispelling a lie, whichever) she's not the youngest lottery winner in Britain (though possibly the youngest euromillions winner), the youngest lottery winner was Callie Rogers who won it at 16 in 2003 (ish), this lass was 17 when she won it in 2013.

    Both were idiots who threw it all away.

    A 17 year old with 1.25 million dollars did what most younger and many older people would do when handed a large sum of money....spent it...and then realized that material things don't always solve your problems.

    When are people going to realize that a single million really isn't that much money to begin with?

    I hope you're opening one of your restaurants here in Chicago with that million!

    Nothing wrong with that. The longer you can stretch out that these days is saying something. Especially with rising housing costs...(The girl in the article bought 2 homes).

    I can't say that when I was 17, I even could think of 1.25M in stuff I wanted.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    You know I wouldn't call 21 years old a "young girl." I thought she was like 13 from that description.

    I have serious reservations she is filing a lawsuit out of the goodness of her heart to alter the age limit.

    If that was the case she would have campaigned the authorities (like the article states) that set that limit. She wants more money.

    The minimum legal age for lottery players should be up to the government, the spokesman said.

    She was 17 when she won.

    The lottery is for the poor and stupid so stories like this should surprise no one.
    You're getting exactly what you deserve.
