We’ve got the people who blow every bit of their lottery winnings in record time. Then there was Brad Duke, who is turning his lottery winnings in to a much larger sum.
And then there is the 70 year old man from Hamelin, who won over 2 million euros and is refusing to take the money. That’s something I never thought I’d hear. It is a bit sad to read. His wife has passed away and he doesn’t have any other family or children so he figures he’s got no use for it.
I wonder if he is interested in adopting a 36 year old son………
He should at least take it and donate to a worthy cause instead of leaving it with the government.
Why did he buy it in the first place? Just bad habit?
Who says the government isn’t a worth cause? ;-)
That is an amazing story. However, did you know that MOST people go terribly in debt after winning the lottery???
The old man should donate it, and not just leave it…or could give his winning to me, I wouldn’t refuse it :)))
or a 32 yr old daughter!
