Have you been drinking again? haha I see youre like me with no caps to a sentence haha. cheers

what whiskey brandy do you like best. my crazy uncle who won the lotto in 98 (12 million) was a heavy gambler and used to buy J&B till he won then went to chivas. casinos from around the world used to send him free airfare and a suite at hotels just so he would come and play at their place. I hate casinos. how much money does he have today? he's in huge debt haha. he didnt help anyone. his sister, my aunt was handicapped and didnt have many years to live and the family asked him to get a helper to live in and take care of her. he said no way. his wife divorced him. his kids hardly speak to him. he was very condescending after he won. very snobbish. looked down on other family members. I guess people gave him the evil eye and cursed him. winning the lotto changes many people.

Drinking again? When did I stop?:) I'm already on my eighth cup of coffee today. It's a good thing I won't be holding a camera, because I wouldn't be able to hold it steady at all.

Seriously, my name here comes from the phonetic alphabet (Whiskey = W) and my days of military flying. I had a six-digit identifier that started with "Whiskey", and one day the guys from a ground station called me the Whiskeyman, and it sort of stuck to me as my all sign from then on. It's like Tom Cruise's character in the movie Top Gun - "Maverick".

Too bad that your uncle was that way after he won. I worked with a guy about ten years ago, and we had to look into his background because his lifestyle (specifically his home mortgage) didn't come close to matching his income. Turns out his parents played the lottery for their entire family, and they won an $85-$90-million jackpot. If I remember right, he was paying income taxes on well over $1-million a year. He asked us to keep it quiet because they didn't want people to know, so we did. I would have never known this about him if we didn't need to look into it for a background check. There are so many lottery stories with sad endings.

coffee huh?;) haha air force war pilot, really..tell me more. I wanted to be a pilot (airline) but I have a medical issue and some told me you need perfect health. awesome movie that top gun.

the guy you worked with was still working in a day to day job? they say most people who win the lotto lose it all within a few years. I would personally get some advisers to help me because im a spender and need a plan. I would invest in multiple things and spread the money out. but I have some inventions I have been thinking about for a while now and make that happen somehow.

closer to your region. I dont live in the US obviously. need some privacy. the fight pic is with a fisheye and its zoomed in. the amount of people involved were a lot. and it was in 2 different places.
so lets summarize. a disco, a bar, a fight club, and on the way, people get married... hows that?

Yes, he was still working a day-to-day job. He and his family took the lottery payout over twenty years, I believe. But overall, he was very smart about it all. The only extravagance I remember him having was real estate and cars, although his autos were what initially flagged him for questions about his finances.

I haven't seen him in over ten years, and likely never will, again, but I'd guess that he is wise with his lottery winnings. And unlike so many that you correctly referred to as losing it all within a few years.
