Lotto

About last week I put on my computer and like always my home page was AOL. So while on AOL there was an article about a guy who hit the lotto in the 80's who now live in a tralier home. I for got the amount of money he won but I remember it was the largest at that time. Any way he decided to travel the world, then he got married twice and got divorce twice, and he brought himself a condo. While doing all this he managed to spent all his millions of dollars, that is after taxes. It appeared he kept spenting money and never got any income, he quit his job after he won the lotto, and so he just kept spending his money until it was all gone. Now he live in a tralier home geting 200 dollars from social security I believe. I was reading this article and was surprise. Usually when someone win the lotto you think they are going to be okay for the rest of their life, it isn't until you se something like this that you remember that even after you hit the lotto, you still have to budget your money.
