Do you know anyone personally who won the lottery?

How much? What happened to them after? You remain friends? Any gifts made to you? Happiness? Tragedy?

    I personally won..although I wouldn't say it changed my life. It was hard to hold onto the money I won though. $20 doesn't buy much these days!

    I won a whole dollar in last night's Mega Millions, but I have to split it with my coworker. We will probably remain friends. And employed.

    It's hella hard to find but if anyone ever gets a chance watch a documentary called "Reversal of Fortune" basically they give this homeless man $100K no strings attached and in a period of 6 months he loses it all. It's a very interesting look at the psychology of the have and the have nots.

    Did he pay the taxes and registration on it?
