Why did they add coconut

Had a blast with him and super chef Bobby Flay on the Bonita run

It’s like you have little concept of the average lotto winner

Somewhat related but I love the injury lawyer commercials where they got $200 grand and act like they’re set for life

If I win I'm buying everyone on TD a beer. Yep one beer for everyone on TD, one beer

I’ll take a bourbon county stout

It’s like you have little concept of the numerous lotto winners who have blown their fortunes. You’ve never had to deal with such temptation so you have no idea how hard it would be to curate your windfall.

oh yea thats it

there has been 1 winner of 100+ million take home that went broke

he was the multi millionaire Dire Wolf was talking about I believe. he was worth roughly 17 million from construction before he won the ~315 milion jack post (~113.5m after taxes) in 2002 in WV.


want to know why he went fricking broke

1) donated 15 million to local churches within a week of getting the money. (tithe)

2) immediately setup a foundation in his name to help the poor and gave another 15 million to it

so right off the top, over 1/4 of his winnings were gone for being a dumb frick and giving away 30 million

then he started being a fricking jackass even further with the money

1) gave the clerk who sold him the ticket ~50k,


then he decided he should go on a fricking alcohol and cocaine multi year bender where he was robbed coming out of a strip club for half a million in cash and then again for 200k in cash less than a year later(who the frick has money like that in your car at a strip club??!!!)

and why the frick would someone worth 100+ million go to a damn strip club? especially as an older married man?


then instead of retiring he tried to keep running the construction business....well being in WV he was a target and got sued dozen times where he spent millions trying to win each case

essentially he blew all the money within 5 years because he was a fricking idiot.

1) I'm not an inbred dumbass from WVU
2) i wouldn't carry hundreds of thousands on me
3) i don't go to strip clubs
4) i don't use bugger suga nor do I shoot up heroin
5) I'm not a complete idiot with money


so yea I think i can handle such temptation and be perfectly fine

Yep. He said “if you’re that good at managing money then you’d have it already.”

Another of his points were that if your goal is to secure generational wealth for your family you have easily done so with the return rate on winning the Powerball.

You don't have the contacts or vetting skills that come with trying to place that money and grow it at a guaranteed faster rate. You'll waste years of you life managing and meeting instead of living your life.

Also you will likely be getting a yearly annuity that will be returning you more money than you could ever spend and still offers the ability to grow your wealth.
