Man who won £1,000,000 on scratchcard fighting for life after ‘months of partying’

1. Looking at the guy and his size in the pics I really don’t think the couple of months partying is what caused the issues, may certainly have sped it along a bit but he was destined for a serious heath issue regardless I’d say

2. I don’t know why on earth you’d quit your job after winning only £1 million, that really isn’t that much these days. I’d just pile it into savings and index accounts and use some of the interest as income.

3. The lottery is a really really nasty institution.

   All the people who buy lottery tickets are people who can’t afford them and don’t have the financial literacy to manage the money even if they do win.

4. almost like people who gamble and win big have no idea how to actually handle money.

5. These stories make me more determined than ever to win the lottery so that I can prove it’s possible to never tell anyone, invest it wisely, and live a long happy life of marginally increased comfort instead of spaffing it up the wall on coke and cars

6. 1M is a 40k a year income for the rest of your life, and will keep up with inflation.

7. Would it be a poor decision financially to buy a million pound home and then just keep working as normal?

8. Some people doesn’t know how to spend money wisely, my colleague inherited 50k from his grandmother, he went on a spending spree and basically all gone in a month, he loved his grandma but the fact it take her a lifetime to build seem to have no bearing on him.
   When asked, his answer is always “what the point of being the richest man in the graveyard”
