For $128 million, the wife can get over it.

If she won’t, the new wife will.

I'd rather have my wife than $128 mil.

I thought I would feel foolish writing that and you know what? :-)

“I thought I would feel foolish writing that”

You may be wiser than you know. It’s fairly well documented that lottery winners are depressed, lazy, goodfornothing sad-sacks.

That’s because people who have earned millions worked for it, created it, and even when they’ve amased wealth, continue to work and create.

Lazy folks who win set right to work spending. The happiness would come from creating and building - whether that’s investments, a business, a farm/ranch/nursery, etc. You have to feed your sense of accomplishment - no one feels good just being a rich bum.

Really....?

Do you know all the lottery winners....in the U.S.A.? Do you have some scientific evidence to support your statement?

Or are you just remembering some dumb ass cases...of moron's winning millions?

That may be the reasoning the Canadian couple who won $10 mil employed when they gave 98% of their winnings away. They said they didn't want the changes the money would have brought to their lives. If that's the case, why play?

There's a lot to be said for earning what you have as opposed to the easy-come variety.

Nice think about having $128 million is that you could blow $28 million on babes and still have $100 million.
