    Damn... what I could do with that amount of money... but what it might do to me... and the people around me makes me think I should be thankful I'm not suddenly wealthy.

    What I would do with that kind of money! That would buy me a house for my daughter and I to live comfortably. That would pay for the little restaurant I want to own and perhaps a new car? :) Lucky uncle. Can I have his number? Just kidding. ;)

    I always think its cool how they give it to you throughout the years so you dont blow it all at once and you can basically survive no matter what for 20 yrs straight.

    you invest just like $10,000 of that a year for 20 years.. you're probably pretty well set for life.. unless some huge financial bump in the road blows it all to hell

    LoL I'm not gonna pump him for his cash. He doesn't owe me anything. I'm happy for him that shit rarely happens. It's the largest sum that casino has ever payed out. He won it on a 20(or maybe it was 30) dollar bet on a wheel of fortune type thing.

    Eh so many people sell off their annuities to big companies and blow the cash in three years. People who aren't accustomed to having money generally can't budget it and fuck themselves and wind off worse than they were.

    I think he had a choice, if you get it in one lump sum you get a lot less cash.

    Yeah but even with less cash to start with you can still invest it and make alot more back than what you would get over those 20 years. Of course if you dont know what your doing you can lose it all as well with some poor investments.

    I'd prefer it all at once even if that meant I wouldn't get the full 3.5 million. 1 million alone I could live off of. I'd just put it in an ING account and live off of the interest.
