    Sure, but I wasn't even thinking of that when I was 17.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Habitual lottery plays are for the poor and stupid is more accurate.

    My mother is the head of information security at a major hospital and will buy one or two scratch offs per month and a lottery ticket every once in a while if it gets to a stupid inflated amount.

    Surprising she has won $500 a few times and lesser amounts. I would suspect she spends about $5 a month or there about on them.

    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?
    Funny I read another article about this same girl and it never mentioned wanting to sue. Just says she regrets winning.

    ODD how the story changes from place to place.

    I personally think introverts are better suited lottery winners. People who always need to be surrounded by people will inevitably blow wads of cash on "friends", go to parties, clubs, etc etd - and pickup new "friends" along the way.

    Introverts would probably splurge on personal wants for a bit, then realize they can live comfortable in their already quiet life with the rest.

    If I won the lottery my first order of business would to buy about 100 acres then build a house on it and continue to associate only with those select people I call friends.

    MMO-C is about the most "explosive" social thing I participate in. In the real world, outside of family and a handful of people, I find quiet time invaluable.

    Anything is possible, but I don't buy bridges regularly, but again - you may be correct. /shrug

    Yeah this pretty much. AFAI can recall, the first conversation I had with my mother about money was in the context of her winning a couple thousand $ on the lottery. She pointed out that it wasn't that much money, and showed me what real money is; that is, can you live completely on the interest rather than the principle.

    Also this. Although, I'd probably splurge on a kick ass gaming room for my few close friends to hang out.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    It appears the article is bogus, shes not sueing anything. Shes trying to change the legal age for it.

    If I were that girl I'd probably grab it and put it all on a large index funds. By the time I find use for it, I'd be filthy rich.

    A lawsuit? Sounds like a frivolous way to relieve yourself from boredom.

    Maybe she'll spill a cup of 180 degree-hot coffee on her lap next.

    Probably just over spent and is looking for some new revenue. Sounds like a good portion of the powerball winners you hear about.

    Yup...probably shopped away her fortune and wants a cash infusion.

    Meh, she looks cheap and kinda ugly tbh. I think the reason why she can't find a decent guy has more to do with that...

    She is kinda bulky, with fake bronze skin, artificially insemi.. I mean collagen injected lips, the Freddy Krueger memorial nails that would make even cheap porn stars green with envy and has pinkish hair color, which all together doesn't exactly scream classy to me. To be frank, she looks like a cheap bimbo that still tries to find some rich guy. That she actually has the money already (or had..), runs around like that and is supposedly tired of clubbing is the hallmark of poorly educated, immature person through and through. She can always pretend to be a cashier at her local poundland and take her rightful place in society, because I have serious doubts she would be anywhere better if she hadn't won.

    I know the standards in Britain are low, but come on :P

    Look I'm not saying marry her. She could be dumb as rocks, but if you are single, out on the town and she wants to ride the bologna pony who the hell is going to turn that down?

    I mean... you say she is kind of ugly, but I could easily come up with girls in clubs that are like a meeeeeellllion times worse.

    Looks like she's got a good chunk of it invested in her chest. That alone should make her feel like shit. /shrug

    Exactly!

    I'm fairly confident that even in Britain trannies, butchered surgy and burn viticims don't make up a significant enough portion to be relevant here. I wouldn't stick my dick in her and I wouldn't exactly call my standards high (clean, not fat and no extreme modifications is pretty much all).

    Edit: You changed the picture :P.

    The best of it is, that her argument for i is bullshit, the lotto give you financial advisers and a shit ton of support to help you with your win and will keep in contact and offer continued support for as long as you need it

    I'll sue for not winning.
