@jakeclaverqfop: Lottery winners go broke in 3 to 5 years. Here's the rule that stops it. The biggest mistakes after a windfall happen in the first two weeks. Not because the money is gone, but because the habit of spending what you have hasn't broken yet. Sit on it for 90 to 120 days. Get used to feeling wealthy. Then move. Save this for the day your number hits.
