But not everyone is like Michael and Bud. Bob Bradley, an 83-year-old great-grandfather,won $6.17 million in the lottery in may 2006. Besides giving a huge amount to childen's charities, Mr.Bradley has spent his fortune helping to make the dreams of hie family and friends come true. Has rejected flashy cars, expensive vacations, and a move to a luxury mansion in favor of handing out his jackpot to others. He said: "I haven't kept any money for myself. I can just give my family all they ever wanted. I've had my life more or less, so this win is for their benefit."
So if you ever win the lottery, seek an advisory team to help you make important financial decisions and a good psychiatrist to help you keep your sanity.
