Boyfriend Loses It When Girlfriend Decides To Keep Her Lottery Winnings ‘Under A Lock’ Until She Gets Professional Financial Advice

ADVERTISEMENT

Money, or more specifically mind-bogglingly large sums of money, can have a weird effect on your friends and partner. If you ever win the lottery, you’ll probably realize incredibly quickly who you can trust, who’s greedier than you expected, and how you’re suddenly the star of the show. Or, rather, your freshly-fattened wallet is.

One redditor shared just how much drama came into her life after she won one of the top lottery prizes. She was hoping to invest the money, as well as to use it to set her family members up with proper places to live. Her boyfriend of 7 months, however, had other plans. You see, he wanted a new car. A Tesla, in fact. And he began pressuring his girlfriend and spilling the beans about her winnings to everyone in their social circle.

The situation escalated to the point that the woman began doubting that she was right to refuse her boyfriend’s request. So she turned to the AITA online community to hear their advice on the situation. Check out the full story below, and let us know what you would’ve done in the OP’s shoes, dear Pandas.

Bored Panda reached out to financial expert Sam Dogen for a few insights about stealth wealth, keeping secrets, and how to diplomatically rebuff requests for money and favors. Sam is the founder of the popular Financial Samurai blog and is the author of ‘Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom.’ You’ll find his comments as you read on.

Winning the lottery is as much a blessing as it is a curse. Your loved ones might start treating you differently

A woman turned to the internet for a verdict, wondering if she was wrong to rebuff her boyfriend of 7 months’ aggressive demands for a new car

Subtlety and patience, unfortunately, aren’t as stylish as gossip and impulse. If you want to keep a secret, like something related to your wealth, keep in mind that you increase the risk of it getting out into the public with every single person you tell. The spicier the secret, the harder it is to keep. But it’s also the perfect test to see if your loved ones will choose loyalty to you over their own egos… though this can put a wrench in your plans to practice stealth wealth… permanently.

Stealth wealth is a fantastic concept that’s going to prove incredibly useful when you end up being rich beyond your wildest dreams (hey, we believe in you, Pandas; you’ve got this). It’s all about being smart and subtle with your wealth. Instead of loudly proclaiming to the world that Scrooge McDuck has competition, you avoid buying the loudest, blingiest, and brightest toys.

You opt for a quieter lifestyle. For instance, you might choose to live in a smaller house than a McMansion. You opt for a reliable vehicle that’ll last you decades, instead of splurging on a sportscar. You don’t buy private jets, helicopters, or yachts. You choose to wear quality but simple-looking clothes instead of loud designer pieces that practically scream ‘Look At Me, I’m Richer Than You’ll Ever Be!’

ADVERTISEMENT

In short, stealth wealth means building generational wealth, instead of showing off. You still live a very nice life—you take care of your health, your kids get the very best education and opportunities, you give back to your community—but you don’t flex your financial muscles in public. You don’t need the validation. And you’d rather avoid the begging for cash that comes with being in the middle of a golden spotlight.

Financial expert Sam told Bored Panda very matter of fact that it’s “impossible” to practice stealth wealth “once the cat is out of the bag.” There’s really no putting the genie back in the bottle once someone spills the beans about your newfound wealth.

“Everybody will do their own mental calculations of how much you can spend, how nice of a car or house you can buy, and what type of fancy vacations you can take. Your acquaintances and non-closest friends will start to resent you if you don’t treat them to nice meals and pay for things,” Sam, from Financial Samurai, told Bored Panda.

“If your partner shares your secret of winning the lottery when you explicitly asked not to, you can no longer trust them with other big secrets. Given a healthy relationship is based on trust, a lot of work will be required to heal the betrayal. It may be best to start over and find a new partner, someone who doesn’t know your wealth status. The truly wealthy learn how to convince people they are middle class in order to blend in.”

Meanwhile, Sam gave some spot-on advice on how to subtly let your friends and relatives know that you won’t be giving in to their continuous requests for financial support. “You can simply say your money is earmarked towards specific charitable institutions you care about. Once you’re done giving to these causes according to plan, then you can consider friend and relative requests.” It’s something to keep in mind when you come into some money. You can still be generous, but you don’t have to play to everyone else’s (different) expectations.

Lending money to friends and family often creates weird dynamics. Instead of lending money, it’s better to just give money to friends and family without expectations. If you’ve won the lottery, you might as well make as many lottery winners as possible with your closest relationships,” Sam, the founder of Financial Samurai, said.

One of the most painful lessons that you’re likely to learn once you gain wealth, power, and influence, is that pretty much everyone wants a piece of the pie. They might want your money, attention, or social connections. And it becomes difficult to figure out if someone’s your friend because of who you are or because of what you have.

Generally speaking, the key to knowing if someone’s in it for the money is to see how much they reciprocate, whether emotionally or financially. If it’s a one-way street where you’re expected to foot the bill every single time, odds are that you’re being used. The friendship or relationship isn’t real and it might be time to move on.

ADVERTISEMENT

When it comes to spilling secrets, however, things get murkier. It’s a total breach of trust. Especially if someone’s gossiping about you far and wide in order to pressure you into, say, buying them a sports car.

As we’ve covered on Bored Panda previously, rebuilding trust in a romantic relationship is truly a challenge. The bigger the offense, the more time and effort it’ll take to rebuild the sense of trust you had before. Though everyone has slightly different boundaries as to what constitutes a breach of trust that is unforgivable.

What would you do if you won the lottery, dear Pandas? How would you ensure the financial stability of your loved ones? Would you keep your new treasure hoard a secret or boast to everyone you know about your luck? What would you do if someone went around sharing the news about your sudden rush of good luck? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I would do the same as her, 1st thing 1st, pay for my siblings homes ( mortgage ) and them give them a chunk of my winnings, 2nd improve my mother's home ( She allready owns it só... ) 3rd get myself a home and a car ( nothing fancy, its not my style ) 4th Invest part of the money ( real estate its a good investment here ), finally ( and this would be a guilty pleasure of mine ) set up a sanctuary for stray cats where they have a warm bed, a place to play around and plenty of food and water. New girlfriends of months don't get nothing exorbitant untill we have been together for a few years.

If my partner won money it would be such a relief for her to not have to be stressed out about work all the time. Just knowing we wouldn't lose the house if we had a bad month would make her life better because of her glorious cushion and I'd be happy that she had it even if I drove the same car and we never went on vacation or anything fun. Young people though often do not have the experience with being between chunks of money and or understand that that bonus will eventually dry up and we can't fault them for that. My biggest red flag isn't asking for a car. It's asking her to decide before speaking with advisors. Huuuuge red flag. Anyone who advises you against speaking to a lawyer accountant inspector or other authority of law and life, is not taking your best interests into account in most circumstances.

If you do cave & purchase a vehicle for him, as well as other items, my thought would be, where does it end? With ppl of this dudes character get what they want, they’ll think of something else they feel entitled too, & ask for that. Again, & again. These “friends” don’t feel genuine either. Obviously they’re envious, when instead, they should be happy that their friend’s life looking up. It’s so unfortunate when ppl you trusted end up trying to tear you down. This person deserves so much better. Her family is lucky to have such a wonderful daughter caring for them. Wishing her only the best.

Dump him and the greedy friends too. Also be weary of financial advisors. Sometimes they’re as much of a scammer as the ones who call you on the phone saying you have an arrest warrant unless you send them an apple gift card

A boyfriend of seven months does not deserve a cent of your lottery winnings. One so demanding does not deserve to be your boyfriend. I say, Dump him. I would take a year or two away from getting into a relationship, and learn how to deal with your new found wealth. Watch out for people who want to take advantage of you.

I inherited an obnoxious amount of money when I turned 30. My live-in boyfriend of 4 years didn’t ask for a single cent. He said it was my money and only I get to decided how to use it. He said he would support any decision I made. Ten years and a marriage certificate later, he still stands by his word. However, I now think of it as our money and he has equal access to it. He’s only abused that privilege once but it was totally worth it in the end. Long story short, if you’re SO feels entitled to your money after only 7 months, he’s not a keeper. Love is no longer a motive to stay with you.

Everything was already mentioned, but the biggest red flag for me is that he suddenly wants to immediatly have kids. It's obvious that he want to tie her to himself forever financially. Run for your life, girl. And until you dump his a*s do not have unprotected sex with him under any circumstances.

She sounds like she's got her head screwed on right. He sounds like an entitled ásshole. I hate it when the advice is always "dump them" but in this case I agree. Also, the answer to any "If you loved me..." guilt trip is "If you loved me you'd shut your face".

1. Buy yourself a good pair of running shoes. Use them to run away from these leeches. 2. You have the resources to move where nobody knows you or your windfall. Move and ghost the bf and all your socalled friends. 3. Invest wisely, not in startups and such. 4. Help your family to have a secure place to live 5. Go on vacation by yourself for a few weeks. Clear your head of all the entitled demands suddenly besetting you from all sides. Don't answer your phone unless it's family. 6. Only tell one trusted person where you're going. 7. Get another phone and dump the one you have. Check your phone and car for tracking devices/apps. I wouldn't put it past your sneaky bf to try and track your movements. Wishing you all the best. Stay safe and vigilant

You are only 26 and NEED to talk to a financial advisor to set up the rest of your life. It’s disgusting hiw your boyfriend is behaving. There’s a curb for a reason!!!

One of the fastest ways to get someone you know to show their true colours is to become either wealthy or famous. The ones who instantly start trying to mooch off you like it's their due are the ones to get rid of ASAP. Lottery winners have been straight-up murdered by greedy relatives - when there's millions of dollars on the line, there are no depths some people won't sink to. Enjoy the money and find a new significant other who isn't a selfish, manipulative douchecanoe.

I hope she is safe, physically. She said she is from another country. I hope it's not one where women are seen as "less than." She needs to dump him, the selfish boyfriend and move somewhere that is gated and safe. And, maybe, just maybe, consider hiring a security detail until she knows she will be safe from harm. Besides her bf perhaps harming her, depending on where she lives, she could also be kidnapped due to her newly won riches. I pray she continues on the smart path she's on and lives a long, beautiful life!! :)

Ditch the boyfriend AND what are OBVIOUSLY his friends. Wait on your financial adviser. Your plans are what mine would be. Clear any debts of my immediate family and homes for them , even if it left them with a small mortgage (still cheaper than rent) andchelp my siblings and their kids. Depending on the amount of the win , then would come donations to charities etc. Schoolbooks for kids who can't afford, shoes etc . There are plenty of families who can't afford this sort of thing or who struggle.

To paraphrase a line from "Babylon 5". Boyfriend is the "heir to the throne of the King of A*****es." People "need" such things as nutritious food, access to quality healthcare, clothing, education, shelter. I've never known anyone who needed such things as a Tesla, fancy vacations, big ticket clothing and accessories etc. Best of luck and in the name of all that's holy...never cosign loans for anyone for any reason. 🤓

One of the few things people don't take into account when playing the lottery is exactly this. Even if you don't change and make correct decisions, it is very likely enough close to you will that it affects your life. Really, you shouldn't play the lottery. The first reason is the odds are ridiculously terrible. The second is, over 90% of winners end up worse off. Everyone I tell this to says, I'd be in the 10%. That is why it happens. And if it doesn't, the example here happens. My hypothesis is, and it couldn't be evaluated without a controlled test, is that if you are likely to handle a windfall of money, it is also likely that you don't play the lottery. Anyway, I hope the woman in the story dumps him. She has a good chance of being in the 10%. BTW - He wants a Tesla as his dream car? Doesn't that seem ridiculous? that says enough right there!

Make sure the financial advisors has a history of managing lottery winners. Most people who win large sums move right away to a protected neighborhood. Money does strange things to people and there have been stories of miser plots by family members. Like everyone else said, drop the boyfriend, the first red flag was not honoring your request to not tell anyone. He’s not in charge of your money and may blow through it quickly. Do your research and study what successful lottery winners have done to keep and grow their wealth. Get a private phone now number and hire an assistant to field all your calls. Consider getting a body guard if you don’t want to move or even if you do. Greed can do strange things to people especially family members.

NTA- had something similar happen and my then bf acted the same. Don't give in to any of his demands! Any person who is a friend or bf/gf, should be happy FOR YOU. I know it's hard but you need to let him go for your sake. 7 months is a fart in a bucket in the big picture. It sounds like he wants u to buy a nice house, get married, and get you knocked up with kids, and may leave u once he drains you of every last cent. Is that what YOU want? You're not married, nor are you together long enough to be by proxy "married" you have no obligations to him financially. If you somehow decide to marry this AH plz make him sign a prenup and make sure there is no loop hole so that he has no access to ANY of your money. If he loves u, he should be ok with this demand. But to make it easier and less regretful, plz dump him and find someone better.

She better not have intimate relations with him again. Guarantee that her bc pills are sugar pills and the condoms all have holes poked in them. He'll trap her if he can, already talking about kids when he knows that's not what she wants, he just wants to tie himself to her for life since it's becoming apparent that's the only way he'll get the money. If I were her friend I'd tell her to be sure to be on the shot and bring her own condoms if they're going to sleep together again, but better yet...yeah, like everyone said, dump him and find someone new after her life is in order.

Barely scanned the article, but one of the first rules/boundaries I set in my relationships is that my money is mine and their money is theirs. If they don't keep money out of the relationship then things just aren't going to work out. Discussing who pays which bills is one thing, but my partner isn't allowed to ask for money to go blow on things they don't need, especially because I'm completely broke. Don't take this the wrong way, I spoil my partner every chance I get, but there are better things than money. Absolutely not okay, dump his sorry a*s.

NTA. Beware, beware, beware. Do not give him any if those things he wants. Why? Because it will never end. The two of you aren't married. You don't owe him anything. Sure, I bet he wants to marry you now. Because half of your fortune would be his. It's good that you've put that money in a separate account and you've sought out financial advisors. A good first step. Let them help you gift money to your family, if you wish. Abide by their suggestions. Far too many lottery winners have squandered their winnings. If you invest wisely, you should have enough to live on for a long time. And dump the boyfriend with dollar signs in his eyes. He'll likely take all your money and leave you high and dry.

DO NOT LET HIM MOVE IN! DO NOT LET HIM MOVE IN! In some places including my own province he can be considered to LEGALLY be your common-law spouse after only THREE MONTHS! If that happens he has a right to a potion of your winning perhaps up to 50% and if you Break up you may actually be paying alimony for YEARS! Protect yourself! Do not live together and keep records or he will offer mutual friends a portion of "his share" to lie that you were living together!

As for your boyfriend I think you need to either leave him or keep him in check . When he starts asking for things stop him right there and tell him if he keeps on asking for what is not his you’re going to break up with him . Now he going to listen and if he doesn’t then you need to move on . If you marry him it’s going to cost you a lot more then you think . Me I would get rid of him . He’s more interested now because you’re a sugar mama to him . Congratulations on your winnings and remember that most people who win the lotto are broke in a few years

I admire your plans and caring thoughtfulness about the needs of your family first over your ability to raise your own lifestyle. It sounds like the best way to share the luck you have been blessed with. Absolutely stick to your plan. A tesla and a house with a pool will only make you miserable knowing that you could have helped people you love live more comfortably. You are wasting your loving spirit on this man. Sorry.

I am Earl Lape. I'm a 61 years old retired mechanic from Dubuque Iowa. I never thought I could be this wealthy after all I've been through trying to meet ends and take good care of my family. But all thanks to Dr Marcus he made me a lottery winner of $40,030,000 (fourth million thirty thousand dollars) with the help of his spell. This was one of the greatest things that has ever happened in my life. I came in contact with him after seeing someone's testimony on the internet. So I came in contact with him and he told me he will help me after telling him my situation, I provided all his requirements, the spell was done, and he gave me the winning numbers after 48 hours, I went to purchase my ticket on April 1 in Clive Iowa (AP) and I played as instructed. At first I never believed I won the lottery when I got the email notification because it was April fool's day. But all thanks to Dr Marcus for his great work in my life. You too can reach him drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com

I have always desired to win lottery some day, at some point I thought it was something impossible, until I came across series of testimonies on how had helped a lot of people win lottery, at first I was so skeptical about it because I haven't seen a things as such in my life, at a second thought I decided to give it a try so I emailled him via his person email, he replied me and instructed me on what to do, after 24 hours he gave me some numbers and I won $2 million just like that. Dr Bejamin I owe everything for making me the man that I am right.

HOW I GOT THE RIGHT LOTTERY NUMBER FROM A SPELL CASTER: I am a 59-year-old IT worker and it was going to be our 25-year wedding anniversary but we had no money to celebrate it. I was given an assignment in the office so I went online to search for answers then I saw testimonies where people thanked lord Bubuza for giving them the right lottery winning numbers, I was very interested to win too so I contacted lord Bubuza via WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214. Lord Bubuza responded, saying he will cast a spell and reveal the lottery winning numbers with his spiritual powers. I provided the items He needed to cast the spell and he gave me 6 numbers after casting the spell. I was so confident of winning so I went to a convenience store and bought a $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket from Gate City Express on East Lee Street in Greensboro and went home. I sat outside and scratched the ticket. When I saw that I won $1,000,000. My name is Licette Griffin, How can I thank Lord Bubuza enough? Join me thank him via

Getting back my ex lover was never easy until I read good reviews about Dr Paul love spell portion. My Boyfriend left the house without a note or a word and never returned or replies to my text. I tried all possible means to reach out to him but nothing i was depressed and devastated because I and my lover had just a baby together. It became more horrible when I found out he was seeing another lady in our neighborhood. I tried many two online spell casters they couldn’t help me out until last month my colleague at work told me about Dr Paul love spell and I decided to give it a trial i contacted this love spell caster he told me what to do i did everything and he told me in less than 24 hours my lover will be back to me. Like a dream come true it worked for me and my lover texted me and returned home, no stress No side effects. I will want anyone here having relationship/marriage issues should contact Dr Paul now.

Leave him. You are a bank now. Move, change banks; keep the lottery winnings separate from your regular bank account. Change your passcodes on everything, just in case he tries to hack you. And go no contact with him and those ‘friends’ he told about your money. They will pester you until you give in. Good luck!

BP had another article on what to do if you win the lottery, but I can't find it. One important piece of advice was to retain a *good* lawyer first, as people with huge winnings often get stalked, harassed, sued, and threatened by strangers and loved one's. They're 120x more likely to be murdered by a loved one. It gave really good advice on allocating money, too.

Hate to say it, but your so-called boyfriend I end is a weak man. Any man who can't genuinely be happy for his girlfriend and not about the money, is weak. He can't stand on his own 2 feet, so he begs you fir a comfortable life. He needs to grow up and others need to do the same. You don't have a real relationship-sorry to say.

Winning or inheriting a great deal of money can and usually does destroy your life. Unless you are very, very discrete - very, very wise and have good impulse control. Instead of listing what you'd buy first, you should be thinking about where is the safest place I can park it that will allow it to grow while I carefully sort out how I'm going to spend, hold and invest it so it will be the start of generational wealth for my family and others (charities, etc)

If he truly wanted a real future with you, he would support you wanting to manage your winnings toward that end rather than blowing it all now. If you choose to keep him around, put your money where it remains solely in your control. Personally, considering HE made a LIST on how to spend your money, I would at the least take a step back from him. Not to even mention his act of spite in telling your friends. Congratulations to you, and stay the path. You have a smart head on your shoulders.

If you have a financial advisor, he or she should tell you that you need to have a living will or something to that nature so that people like the a* hole bf can't take you for your money!! Congratulations on your win! Ohhhh and the other thing is that you should be able to purchase your own home in a "fictitious name" that no one will know about. I'm unsure how your country works but it's something to look into. I would seriously be packing up my stuff and leaving immediately. People like them are NOT your friend's and he is not a nice bf. He sees you as his personal ATM. Seriously though, I'd be dumping him immediately and moving across country away from him and others like him. Good luck!

First of all, there's no point in saying 'you should of..' DON'T SPEND A SINGLE PENNY OF YOUR WINNINGS. SPEAK TO YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FIRST AND FOREMOST. GET THE BEST AND CORRECT ADVICE - FOR YOU. DO NOT SHARE ANY OF YOUR WINNINGS UNTIL THIS. THIS MONEY YOU HAVE WON, HAS TO LAST YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. TEMPTATIONS ARE THERE BUT, BE STRONG. ALL THE BEST.

All great suggestions, BUT you need to either immediately get on birth control (something that can't be sabotaged) if you are segually active with him, especially if you haven't dumped him. Your "friends" suck massively. I would get rid of them all. Clearly they are all leaches. My husband and I received money from Fema because we lost our home due to the wildfires in 2020. His Aunt guilted us into spending all of it. 15,000$ gone in less then a year, because she allowed us to move into a second house she has on her property, and she manipulated us into "helping her out" since we got to live rent free. For the love of God, don't let that happen to you.

After 7 months, you don't know him. He don't know you either. The only thing you know for sure is that he is a gold digger. Don't worry betrayed you by breaking your trust better you learned it now that later. He cannot be trust. If you didn't talk about a family a house a pool etc before your winnings. Then he should be talking about it now. You should have been talking about it before. Basically he wants you to fund everything and he have fun enjoying it. I don't know how how do you are but you are doing a smart decision. Man come in men go. Your parents and family took care of you, so you're able to do the same for them so do that. Good luck

Please remember this…. Those who have their hands out and expect you to spend money on them are what we call hater’s and are just jealous that they don’t have what you got. Also get out of that relationship before you have a life of headaches and regrets. A real man works for what he wants and doesn’t act like a child and get others to help him tag team you on trying to manipulate you to give them what they want or make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. I agree with your decision making and please don’t give in to their wishes. You should only help those who are supportive of your decision making and don’t expect you to spend money on them like if it was theirs. Also those who are there by your side expecting nothing while you are getting your future financial in order are the ones you can choose to help. You have plenty of time to have a family so find a man that’s thinking like you and has the same goals and ambition as you. I wish you the best & follow all the advice’s

I really hope you follow on your decision making and not be manipulated to do what others want with your winnings. Only keep does who support you to better yourself for a better future and dump all those who are not by your side in making the right choices. It’s not everyday that someone runs into some luck at winning a nice lump sum of money to change their lives for the better. Remember this please…. People that are not very supportive of you means that they’re jealous of you and hating the fact they don’t have what you got. If anyone that includes family and friends…. That doesn’t have a hand out and waits while they respect your decision making are worthy enough for you to help them out only after you are in the best position to help yourself and have put yourself in the best position financially to give to those who were truly with you and not expecting for you to spend your money on them as if it was theirs to spend.Another thing get out of that relationship before you regret it

First off your doing the right thing your boyfriend has only been your boyfriend for 7 months don't let him use you because that's what it sounds like he's doing and yes if he's talking about kids that's great but also a way to trap you into being with him for a long time. Keep your options open because you deserve a man who wants you for you not your money think about if he wasn't talking about kids before why now because he wants to trap you be careful and don't buy him nothing take care of you and your family first

But ask yourself when you were struggling with bills how many people came with helping hand or gave you a little just to get over until you can got back on your feet the right way how many people are really your friends and doesn't just see you as a dollar real friends don't pressure people like that real friends keep their mouth shut and just allow a blessing to come their way you do what's best for you and what's going to keep you above and not allow you to sink stay strong and keep your head up God bless

You need to stick to your financial plan. You are doing exactly what you should. You’re being sensible instead of spending wildly. As for the boyfriend of 7 months, I’m sorry but you are now seeing his true colors and he may need to go. He wants to marry your new found wealth, not you. You deserve better than that!

Time to go into hiding. Your boyfriend is very selfish and is only thinking of himself and so are your friends. It's really sad and I feel sorry for you because you have become a ticket to the high life for all of them. It's your winnings, and your decision to do as you want. Unfortunately, $$ brings out egocentric people and your boyfriend wins the lottery on that.

If I hit the lotto or ran into a landslide of cash I would definitely get with a financial advisor after paying off whatever debt I have before the blessing occured. As well as for my parents and siblings and close in-laws. From there I would stay middle class with my in town spending and hope to get into commercial realty/residential real estate flipping

Not only is he TA, he's pressuring you for kids when he knows you're child free, whether he wants the kids or not, so that he can hang onto you (and your money) for as long as possible. Maybe he thought your cf status was financially-minded, but all of his other recent behavior seems manipulative, so this probably is, too. Tell your friends that after working so hard your whole life, you're not going to start being frivolous now, and their requests that you find nights out make you uncomfortable. Your real friends will understand. Also, I admire your desire and plans to help your family with their living situations, but make sure no one takes advantage of you/guilts you into anything you're not comfortable with. Guilting someone is manipulation, even if that word is new to certain generations. I'm sorry your bf and friends are acting this way, it's s****y.

Things like this bring out people's true selves. This man is a greedy, material obsessed, short sighted, manipulative, immature, disrespectful fool who now ONLY sees this woman as a stack of MONEY. Stories like this make me so sad and angry tbh. Its these sorts of manipulative, predatory jerks who successfully trick and pick up women who think they've found a good man. Meanwhile the honest, trustworthy men that are looking for something substantial, an equal partnership type relationship where you are a true TEAM that tackles life's problems together...these are the good men (like myself of course 😉lol) that don't go around putting on an act and "hunting" for women by crafting a fake personality to initially win them over and then reverting to their true selves loooong down the road. It really pisses me off and gives ALL men a bad reputation. Women get treated so horribly so often that sometimes they are seeing red flags in honest good men because of the PTSD inflicted from these jerk

You are going to have to dump BF and all of your old friends as well, or look forward to their hands being out for 'help' every time you turn around. Simple test: tell everyone you decided you dont like how the money is changing you so you are donating it all to various charities. Watch their reactions, especially your BF. True friends wont care, the others will try to argue you into not doing it, or try to steer you in a way that benefits them. Then you have to decide. Congratulations on your windfall! Use it wisely!!

The only good advice people here are giving you is to dump him. Anybody who says buying houses or cars with your money is a loser who doesn't know anything about money. Invest your money in safe but high yielding stocks. I live in Canada, we have Enbridge Gas on the TSX with a dividend over 6%. If you have a million dollars, you'll get an income of $60K per year. You could buy a house with a mortgage and your dividends will pay for the house while it grows. After your house is paid for, you'll still have more than the original million dollars, plus the $60k+ per year income.

He absolutely a gold digger. If she was rich to begin with he act like this but because she broke he didn't. Now his materialistic side is showing. If I won the lottery I would first invent EEG shampoo. Then make profit. Buy a huge house with individual bathrooms in each bedroom. So my family and friends could all live together with their families.

There's nothing like $$ or the death of a family matriarch/patriarch to reveal a person's true nature. This girl should definitely consult with her financial advisors before taking ANY action with her sudden wealth. She should also consider shedding a lot of weight--as in losing the gold digging BF and psedo-friends.

He's the boyfriend and thinks this money is all his. I couldn't imagine doing this to my girlfriend. Its kind of infuriating to hear.

There's a Japanese series of a story like this that I watched over a decade ago, about a man who won the lottery but lost everything, his family, friends, work, place, all because everyone found out about his money and he wouldn't give them any of it. The morale of the series was that he wished he never won the lottery as it caused more problems for him than before.

"Winning the lottery is as much a blessing as it is a curse." This is the biggest load of crock I've heard about the lottery. If it's soooo bad and such an inconvenience to you, then give it back. It's laughable how many people say "the lottery ruined my life" while there's homeless people and very poor people who would gladly take the money.

First of all congratulations. Woo hoo!!! Second of all, talk about RED flags!!! It appears YOU are level headed. Don't STOP using YOUR common sense. Hold it near and dear to you. Because YOU are one in a million. It's very mature of you to have actually mapped out a sensible plan of action for your winnings. Stay with the plan. As far as the boyfriend is concerned, I think YOU already know the answer to that question. A lot of young people these days are quick to move in together within months of meeting one another. The fact that you chose not to once again speaks to your level head. Young Lady God has blessed you. Enjoy and appreciate the wonderful opportunities coming your way. ALSO do some investigating on the Financial Advisor. Money does strange things to people. God Bless you.

You should realize that those financial advisors you have hired are just as greedy as your friends. They'll take your money too. Best thing for you to do is started educating yourself on the stock market, bonds, mutual funds, etc. Read A LOT. Become your own financial advisor. Then, invest on a low fee index fund. Your future self will thank you. Don't trust anyone.

There's a professor of economics at the University of Denver who specializes in lottery winners (anything from $1scratch ticket to the powerball). Every time the big jackpots get big enough, she shows up on interviews on local TV/radio. She says the two most common things regardless of level of winning are #1)You will lose friends and family. People view it as free money you didn't earn so you have no right to deny giving it to them. When you do, they reject you. She tells the story of a woman who won $20 on a scratch ticket on the way to work. The day of her windfall she went out for drinks after work like she did every day and everyone assumed she'd pay the tab. When she just paid her part, they stopped inviting her. #2)More money does not change how you handle money in the medium to long term. If you were bad with money, frugal, generous, etc, you will be the same way the week after you win. You may pay off the house but if you were bad with money before you won, you may have nothing left the next year to pay the property taxes.

I’ve been with my partner for 3 1/2 years, we both have children from previous relationships and we live separately. If I won enough money to be able to finance property for my family or indeed if she did then you can bet your bottom dollar we’d be seeking financial advice. I have no right to anything she may win and vice versa. We both know that some luxury items would be bought eventually and that we’d both ensure that the other was able to be frivolous (within reason) but until the money has been correctly invested / advice has been sorted the money stays where it is. If I demanded anything then she’d rightly tell me to jog on, I’d afford her the same response if the roles were reversed!

While it’s not wrong to spend some for fun, partying it up and spending unnecessarily isn’t wise. Be careful, your bf of 7 months could be your downfall if you’re not careful.

Looks like a potentially incomplete story to me. Do/did you live with your BF? Did you share finances at all prior to your win? Did he pay for parts of your life or relationship prior to your win? In the time period where you paid for the lottery ticket did your BF pay for any essentials for you? If the answers to any of the above are yes, then you likely are the AH ma'am. I just got to be logical while others just judge with completely partial info...

She mentioned that they don't live together where she references the duration (7 months) of their relationship. Since living together is usually the precursor to commingling expenses, it sounds like the response to the rest of your questions is also "no".

He want a Tesla? Sounds like a young boy, all right. A new car is only new for a very short time. The right question is to ask "will I care/appreciate that in 10 years? Will I feel the same in 20 years?'" Before buying something big. If the answer is no, then it's perhaps not important.

I would do the same as her, 1st thing 1st, pay for my siblings homes ( mortgage ) and them give them a chunk of my winnings, 2nd improve my mother's home ( She allready owns it só... ) 3rd get myself a home and a car ( nothing fancy, its not my style ) 4th Invest part of the money ( real estate its a good investment here ), finally ( and this would be a guilty pleasure of mine ) set up a sanctuary for stray cats where they have a warm bed, a place to play around and plenty of food and water. New girlfriends of months don't get nothing exorbitant untill we have been together for a few years.

If my partner won money it would be such a relief for her to not have to be stressed out about work all the time. Just knowing we wouldn't lose the house if we had a bad month would make her life better because of her glorious cushion and I'd be happy that she had it even if I drove the same car and we never went on vacation or anything fun. Young people though often do not have the experience with being between chunks of money and or understand that that bonus will eventually dry up and we can't fault them for that. My biggest red flag isn't asking for a car. It's asking her to decide before speaking with advisors. Huuuuge red flag. Anyone who advises you against speaking to a lawyer accountant inspector or other authority of law and life, is not taking your best interests into account in most circumstances.

If you do cave & purchase a vehicle for him, as well as other items, my thought would be, where does it end? With ppl of this dudes character get what they want, they’ll think of something else they feel entitled too, & ask for that. Again, & again. These “friends” don’t feel genuine either. Obviously they’re envious, when instead, they should be happy that their friend’s life looking up. It’s so unfortunate when ppl you trusted end up trying to tear you down. This person deserves so much better. Her family is lucky to have such a wonderful daughter caring for them. Wishing her only the best.

A boyfriend of seven months does not deserve a cent of your lottery winnings. One so demanding does not deserve to be your boyfriend. I say, Dump him. I would take a year or two away from getting into a relationship, and learn how to deal with your new found wealth. Watch out for people who want to take advantage of you.

I inherited an obnoxious amount of money when I turned 30. My live-in boyfriend of 4 years didn’t ask for a single cent. He said it was my money and only I get to decided how to use it. He said he would support any decision I made. Ten years and a marriage certificate later, he still stands by his word. However, I now think of it as our money and he has equal access to it. He’s only abused that privilege once but it was totally worth it in the end. Long story short, if you’re SO feels entitled to your money after only 7 months, he’s not a keeper. Love is no longer a motive to stay with you.

1. Buy yourself a good pair of running shoes. Use them to run away from these leeches. 2. You have the resources to move where nobody knows you or your windfall. Move and ghost the bf and all your socalled friends. 3. Invest wisely, not in startups and such. 4. Help your family to have a secure place to live 5. Go on vacation by yourself for a few weeks. Clear your head of all the entitled demands suddenly besetting you from all sides. Don't answer your phone unless it's family. 6. Only tell one trusted person where you're going. 7. Get another phone and dump the one you have. Check your phone and car for tracking devices/apps. I wouldn't put it past your sneaky bf to try and track your movements. Wishing you all the best. Stay safe and vigilant

One of the fastest ways to get someone you know to show their true colours is to become either wealthy or famous. The ones who instantly start trying to mooch off you like it's their due are the ones to get rid of ASAP. Lottery winners have been straight-up murdered by greedy relatives - when there's millions of dollars on the line, there are no depths some people won't sink to. Enjoy the money and find a new significant other who isn't a selfish, manipulative douchecanoe.

I hope she is safe, physically. She said she is from another country. I hope it's not one where women are seen as "less than." She needs to dump him, the selfish boyfriend and move somewhere that is gated and safe. And, maybe, just maybe, consider hiring a security detail until she knows she will be safe from harm. Besides her bf perhaps harming her, depending on where she lives, she could also be kidnapped due to her newly won riches. I pray she continues on the smart path she's on and lives a long, beautiful life!! :)

Ditch the boyfriend AND what are OBVIOUSLY his friends. Wait on your financial adviser. Your plans are what mine would be. Clear any debts of my immediate family and homes for them , even if it left them with a small mortgage (still cheaper than rent) andchelp my siblings and their kids. Depending on the amount of the win , then would come donations to charities etc. Schoolbooks for kids who can't afford, shoes etc . There are plenty of families who can't afford this sort of thing or who struggle.

To paraphrase a line from "Babylon 5". Boyfriend is the "heir to the throne of the King of A*****es." People "need" such things as nutritious food, access to quality healthcare, clothing, education, shelter. I've never known anyone who needed such things as a Tesla, fancy vacations, big ticket clothing and accessories etc. Best of luck and in the name of all that's holy...never cosign loans for anyone for any reason. 🤓

One of the few things people don't take into account when playing the lottery is exactly this. Even if you don't change and make correct decisions, it is very likely enough close to you will that it affects your life. Really, you shouldn't play the lottery. The first reason is the odds are ridiculously terrible. The second is, over 90% of winners end up worse off. Everyone I tell this to says, I'd be in the 10%. That is why it happens. And if it doesn't, the example here happens. My hypothesis is, and it couldn't be evaluated without a controlled test, is that if you are likely to handle a windfall of money, it is also likely that you don't play the lottery. Anyway, I hope the woman in the story dumps him. She has a good chance of being in the 10%. BTW - He wants a Tesla as his dream car? Doesn't that seem ridiculous? that says enough right there!

Make sure the financial advisors has a history of managing lottery winners. Most people who win large sums move right away to a protected neighborhood. Money does strange things to people and there have been stories of miser plots by family members. Like everyone else said, drop the boyfriend, the first red flag was not honoring your request to not tell anyone. He’s not in charge of your money and may blow through it quickly. Do your research and study what successful lottery winners have done to keep and grow their wealth. Get a private phone now number and hire an assistant to field all your calls. Consider getting a body guard if you don’t want to move or even if you do. Greed can do strange things to people especially family members.

NTA- had something similar happen and my then bf acted the same. Don't give in to any of his demands! Any person who is a friend or bf/gf, should be happy FOR YOU. I know it's hard but you need to let him go for your sake. 7 months is a fart in a bucket in the big picture. It sounds like he wants u to buy a nice house, get married, and get you knocked up with kids, and may leave u once he drains you of every last cent. Is that what YOU want? You're not married, nor are you together long enough to be by proxy "married" you have no obligations to him financially. If you somehow decide to marry this AH plz make him sign a prenup and make sure there is no loop hole so that he has no access to ANY of your money. If he loves u, he should be ok with this demand. But to make it easier and less regretful, plz dump him and find someone better.

She better not have intimate relations with him again. Guarantee that her bc pills are sugar pills and the condoms all have holes poked in them. He'll trap her if he can, already talking about kids when he knows that's not what she wants, he just wants to tie himself to her for life since it's becoming apparent that's the only way he'll get the money. If I were her friend I'd tell her to be sure to be on the shot and bring her own condoms if they're going to sleep together again, but better yet...yeah, like everyone said, dump him and find someone new after her life is in order.

Barely scanned the article, but one of the first rules/boundaries I set in my relationships is that my money is mine and their money is theirs. If they don't keep money out of the relationship then things just aren't going to work out. Discussing who pays which bills is one thing, but my partner isn't allowed to ask for money to go blow on things they don't need, especially because I'm completely broke. Don't take this the wrong way, I spoil my partner every chance I get, but there are better things than money. Absolutely not okay, dump his sorry a*s.

NTA. Beware, beware, beware. Do not give him any if those things he wants. Why? Because it will never end. The two of you aren't married. You don't owe him anything. Sure, I bet he wants to marry you now. Because half of your fortune would be his. It's good that you've put that money in a separate account and you've sought out financial advisors. A good first step. Let them help you gift money to your family, if you wish. Abide by their suggestions. Far too many lottery winners have squandered their winnings. If you invest wisely, you should have enough to live on for a long time. And dump the boyfriend with dollar signs in his eyes. He'll likely take all your money and leave you high and dry.

If that happens he has a right to a potion of your winning perhaps up to 50% and if you Break up you may actually be paying alimony for YEARS! Protect yourself! Do not live together and keep records or he will offer mutual friends a portion of "his share" to lie that you were living together!

When he starts asking for things stop him right there and tell him if he keeps on asking for what is not his you’re going to break up with him . Now he going to listen and if he doesn’t then you need to move on . If you marry him it’s going to cost you a lot more then you think . Me I would get rid of him . He’s more interested now because you’re a sugar mama to him . Congratulations on your winnings and remember that most people who win the lotto are broke in a few years

I am Earl Lape. I'm a 61 years old retired mechanic from Dubuque Iowa. I never thought I could be this wealthy after all I've been through trying to meet ends and take good care of my family. But all thanks to Dr Marcus he made me a lottery winner of $40,030,000 (fourth million thirty thousand dollars) with the help of his spell. This was one of the greatest things that has ever happened in my life. I came in contact with him after seeing someone's testimony on the internet. So I came in contact with him and he told me he will help me after telling him my situation, I provided all his requirements, the spell was done, and he gave me the winning numbers after 48 hours, I went to purchase my ticket on April 1 in Clive Iowa (AP) and I played as instructed. At first I never believed I won the lottery when I got the email notification because it was April fool's day. But all thanks to Dr Marcus for his great work in my life.

Stay away from anyone who tries to reach into your pockets. Real friends (especially partners) don't behave like this. Real friends are happy for you without wanting to enrich themselves on you.

It’s an honor  to share this testimony to the world. Dr Benjamin you're a blessing to our generation. I have always desired to win lottery some day, at some point I thought it was something impossible, until I came across series of testimonies on how had helped a lot of people win lottery, at first I was so skeptical about it because I haven't seen a things as such in my life, at a second thought I decided to give it a try so I emailled him via his person email, he replied me and instructed me on what to do, after 24 hours he gave me some numbers and I won $2 million just like that. Dr Bejamin I owe everything for making me the man that I am right. If you need his help below is his contact information, he can help too Email: drbenjaminlottospell711@gmail.com Whatsapp:+17066036031

HOW I GOT THE RIGHT LOTTERY NUMBER FROM A SPELL CASTER: I am a 59-year-old IT worker and it was going to be our 25-year wedding anniversary but we had no money to celebrate it. I was given an assignment in the office so I went online to search for answers then I saw testimonies where people thanked lord Bubuza for giving them the right lottery winning numbers, I was very interested to win too so I contacted lord Bubuza via WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214. Lord Bubuza responded, saying he will cast a spell and reveal the lottery winning numbers with his spiritual powers. I provided the items He needed to cast the spell and he gave me 6 numbers after casting the spell. I was so confident of winning so I went to a convenience store and bought a $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket from Gate City Express on East Lee Street in Greensboro and went home. I sat outside and scratched the ticket. When I saw that I won $1,000,000. My name is Licette Griffin, How can I thank Lord Bubuza enough? Join me thank him via

Getting back my ex lover was never easy until I read good reviews about Dr Paul love spell portion. My Boyfriend left the house without a note or a word and never returned or replies to my text. I tried all possible means to reach out to him but nothing i was depressed and devastated because I and my lover had just a baby together. It became more horrible when I found out he was seeing another lady in our neighborhood. I tried many two online spell casters they couldn’t help me out until last month my colleague at work told me about Dr Paul love spell and I decided to give it a trial i contacted this love spell caster he told me what to do i did everything and he told me in less than 24 hours my lover will be back to me. Like a dream come true it worked for me and my lover texted me and returned home, no stress No side effects. I will want anyone here having relationship/marriage issues should contact Dr Paul now.

Leave him. You are a bank now. Move, change banks; keep the lottery winnings separate from your regular bank account. Change your passcodes on everything, just in case he tries to hack you. And go no contact with him and those ‘friends’ he told about your money. They will pester you until you give in. Good luck!

BP had another article on what to do if you win the lottery, but I can't find it. One important piece of advice was to retain a *good* lawyer first, as people with huge winnings often get stalked, harassed, sued, and threatened by strangers and loved one's. They're 120x more likely to be murdered by a loved one. It gave really good advice on allocating money, too.

Hate to say it, but your so-called boyfriend I end is a weak man. Any man who can't genuinely be happy for his girlfriend and not about the money, is weak. He can't stand on his own 2 feet, so he begs you fir a comfortable life. He needs to grow up and others need to do the same. You don't have a real relationship-sorry to say.

Winning or inheriting a great deal of money can and usually does destroy your life. Unless you are very, very discrete - very, very wise and have good impulse control. Instead of listing what you'd buy first, you should be thinking about where is the safest place I can park it that will allow it to grow while I carefully sort out how I'm going to spend, hold and invest it so it will be the start of generational wealth for my family and others (charities, etc)

If he truly wanted a real future with you, he would support you wanting to manage your winnings toward that end rather than blowing it all now. If you choose to keep him around, put your money where it remains solely in your control. Personally, considering HE made a LIST on how to spend your money, I would at the least take a step back from him. Not to even mention his act of spite in telling your friends. Congratulations to you, and stay the path. You have a smart head on your shoulders.

That BF sounds like a total narcissist! Seriously, dump his McScrooge as* immediately! If you have a financial advisor, he or she should tell you that you need to have a living will or something to that nature so that people like the a* hole bf can't take you for your money!! Congratulations on your win! Ohhhh and the other thing is that you should be able to purchase your own home in a "fictitious name" that no one will know about. I'm unsure how your country works but it's something to look into. I would seriously be packing up my stuff and leaving immediately. People like them are NOT your friend's and he is not a nice bf. He sees you as his personal ATM. Seriously though, I'd be dumping him immediately and moving across country away from him and others like him. Good luck!

First of all, there's no point in saying 'you should of..' DON'T SPEND A SINGLE PENNY OF YOUR WINNINGS. SPEAK TO YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FIRST AND FOREMOST. GET THE BEST AND CORRECT ADVICE - FOR YOU. DO NOT SHARE ANY OF YOUR WINNINGS UNTIL THIS. THIS MONEY YOU HAVE WON, HAS TO LAST YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. TEMPTATIONS ARE THERE BUT, BE STRONG. ALL THE BEST.

All great suggestions, BUT you need to either immediately get on birth control (something that can't be sabotaged) if you are segually active with him, especially if you haven't dumped him. Your "friends" suck massively. I would get rid of them all. Clearly they are all leaches. My husband and I received money from Fema because we lost our home due to the wildfires in 2020. His Aunt guilted us into spending all of it. 15,000$ gone in less then a year, because she allowed us to move into a second house she has on her property, and she manipulated us into "helping her out" since we got to live rent free. For the love of God, don't let that happen to you.

After 7 months, you don't know him. He don't know you either. The only thing you know for sure is that he is a gold digger. Don't worry betrayed you by breaking your trust better you learned it now that later. He cannot be trust. If you didn't talk about a family a house a pool etc before your winnings. Then he should be talking about it now. You should have been talking about it before. Basically he wants you to fund everything and he have fun enjoying it. I don't know how how do you are but you are doing a smart decision. Man come in men go. Your parents and family took care of you, so you're able to do the same for them so do that. Good luck

Please remember this…. Those who have their hands out and expect you to spend money on them are what we call hater’s and are just jealous that they don’t have what you got. Also get out of that relationship before you have a life of headaches and regrets. A real man works for what he wants and doesn’t act like a child and get others to help him tag team you on trying to manipulate you to give them what they want or make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. I agree with your decision making and please don’t give in to their wishes. You should only help those who are supportive of your decision making and don’t expect you to spend money on them like if it was theirs. Also those who are there by your side expecting nothing while you are getting your future financial in order are the ones you can choose to help. You have plenty of time to have a family so find a man that’s thinking like you and has the same goals and ambition as you. I wish you the best & follow all the advice’s

I really hope you follow on your decision making and not be manipulated to do what others want with your winnings. Only keep does who support you to better yourself for a better future and dump all those who are not by your side in making the right choices. It’s not everyday that someone runs into some luck at winning a nice lump sum of money to change their lives for the better. Remember this please…. People that are not very supportive of you means that they’re jealous of you and hating the fact they don’t have what you got. If anyone that includes family and friends…. That doesn’t have a hand out and waits while they respect your decision making are worthy enough for you to help them out only after you are in the best position to help yourself and have put yourself in the best position financially to give to those who were truly with you and not expecting for you to spend your money on them as if it was theirs to spend.Another thing get out of that relationship before you regret it

First off your doing the right thing your boyfriend has only been your boyfriend for 7 months don't let him use you because that's what it sounds like he's doing and yes if he's talking about kids that's great but also a way to trap you into being with him for a long time. Keep your options open because you deserve a man who wants you for you not your money think about if he wasn't talking about kids before why now because he wants to trap you be careful and don't buy him nothing take care of you and your family first

I won't go on and on about this; honestly you should really let him go because looks like he's just want to use all the money on nonsense. But ask yourself when you were struggling with bills how many people came with helping hand or gave you a little just to get over until you can got back on your feet the right way how many people are really your friends and doesn't just see you as a dollar real friends don't pressure people like that real friends keep their mouth shut and just allow a blessing to come their way you do what's best for you and what's going to keep you above and not allow you to sink stay strong and keep your head up God bless

You need to stick to your financial plan. You are doing exactly what you should. You’re being sensible instead of spending wildly. As for the boyfriend of 7 months, I’m sorry but you are now seeing his true colors and he may need to go. He wants to marry your new found wealth, not you. You deserve better than that!

Time to go into hiding. Your boyfriend is very selfish and is only thinking of himself and so are your friends. It's really sad and I feel sorry for you because you have become a ticket to the high life for all of them. It's your winnings, and your decision to do as you want. Unfortunately, $$ brings out egocentric people and your boyfriend wins the lottery on that.

If I hit the lotto or ran into a landslide of cash I would definitely get with a financial advisor after paying off whatever debt I have before the blessing occured. As well as for my parents and siblings and close in-laws. From there I would stay middle class with my in town spending and hope to get into commercial realty/residential real estate flipping

Not only is he TA, he's pressuring you for kids when he knows you're child free, whether he wants the kids or not, so that he can hang onto you (and your money) for as long as possible. Maybe he thought your cf status was financially-minded, but all of his other recent behavior seems manipulative, so this probably is, too. Tell your friends that after working so hard your whole life, you're not going to start being frivolous now, and their requests that you find nights out make you uncomfortable. Your real friends will understand. Also, I admire your desire and plans to help your family with their living situations, but make sure no one takes advantage of you/guilts you into anything you're not comfortable with. Guilting someone is manipulation, even if that word is new to certain generations. I'm sorry your bf and friends are acting this way, it's s****y.

Things like this bring out people's true selves. This man is a greedy, material obsessed, short sighted, manipulative, immature, disrespectful fool who now ONLY sees this woman as a stack of MONEY. Stories like this make me so sad and angry tbh. Its these sorts of manipulative, predatory jerks who successfully trick and pick up women who think they've found a good man. Meanwhile the honest, trustworthy men that are looking for something substantial, an equal partnership type relationship where you are a true TEAM that tackles life's problems together...these are the good men (like myself of course 😉lol) that don't go around putting on an act and "hunting" for women by crafting a fake personality to initially win them over and then reverting to their true selves loooong down the road. It really pisses me off and gives ALL men a bad reputation. Women get treated so horribly so often that sometimes they are seeing red flags in honest good men because of the PTSD inflicted from these jerk

You are going to have to dump BF and all of your old friends as well, or look forward to their hands being out for 'help' every time you turn around. Simple test: tell everyone you decided you dont like how the money is changing you so you are donating it all to various charities. Watch their reactions, especially your BF. True friends wont care, the others will try to argue you into not doing it, or try to steer you in a way that benefits them. Then you have to decide. Congratulations on your windfall! Use it wisely!!

The only good advice people here are giving you is to dump him. Anybody who says buying houses or cars with your money is a loser who doesn't know anything about money. Invest your money in safe but high yielding stocks. I live in Canada, we have Enbridge Gas on the TSX with a dividend over 6%. If you have a million dollars, you'll get an income of $60K per year. You could buy a house with a mortgage and your dividends will pay for the house while it grows. After your house is paid for, you'll still have more than the original million dollars, plus the $60k+ per year income.

He absolutely a gold digger. If she was rich to begin with he act like this but because she broke he didn't. Now his materialistic side is showing. If I won the lottery I would first invent EEG shampoo. Then make profit. Buy a huge house with individual bathrooms in each bedroom. So my family and friends could all live together with their families.

There's nothing like $$ or the death of a family matriarch/patriarch to reveal a person's true nature. This girl should definitely consult with her financial advisors before taking ANY action with her sudden wealth. She should also consider shedding a lot of weight--as in losing the gold digging BF and psedo-friends.

I'm 35 years same beautiful mother of two beautiful daughters, and I would never ask her to buy me a new car, especially after 35 years together, LoL, best advice for you is a new you financially, a new you socially, no boyfriends, no other's in your life, especially big mouth spreading your good fortune around to others, any other's, smart move, Lock it up in something you can't touch it for a few years, not a couple, a few minimum, forget about it and good luck with your Life, remember that you are the only one you need to trust, you'll see that your friends and family will fall into your comfort zone, just remember that a person who keeps there wealth to themselves is a blessing in disguise!

He's the boyfriend and thinks this money is all his. I couldn't imagine doing this to my girlfriend. Its kind of infuriating to hear. Hopefully she sticks to her plan and sends him packing with a toy tesla, the car of his dreams only pocket size.

I'm making just over $1k/month and my family still asks me for money anyway whether I won the lottery or not. If I wasn't making any money at all, nobody would be asking. These are hard desperate times. We have a war escalating, a possible economic market crash, everyone's making a run for their money. Soon, everyone will be looking after themselves. We live in a selfish period.

There's a Japanese series of a story like this that I watched over a decade ago, about a man who won the lottery but lost everything, his family, friends, work, place, all because everyone found out about his money and he wouldn't give them any of it. The morale of the series was that he wished he never won the lottery as it caused more problems for him than before.

"Winning the lottery is as much a blessing as it is a curse." This is the biggest load of crock I've heard about the lottery. If it's soooo bad and such an inconvenience to you, then give it back. It's laughable how many people say "the lottery ruined my life" while there's homeless people and very poor people who would gladly take the money.

First of all congratulations. Woo hoo!!! Second of all, talk about RED flags!!! It appears YOU are level headed. Don't STOP using YOUR common sense. Hold it near and dear to you. Because YOU are one in a million. It's very mature of you to have actually mapped out a sensible plan of action for your winnings. Stay with the plan. As far as the boyfriend is concerned, I think YOU already know the answer to that question. A lot of young people these days are quick to move in together within months of meeting one another. The fact that you chose not to once again speaks to your level head. Young Lady God has blessed you. Enjoy and appreciate the wonderful opportunities coming your way. ALSO do some investigating on the Financial Advisor. Money does strange things to people. God Bless you.

You should realize that those financial advisors you have hired are just as greedy as your friends. They'll take your money too. Best thing for you to do is started educating yourself on the stock market, bonds, mutual funds, etc. Read A LOT. Become your own financial advisor. Then, invest on a low fee index fund. Your future self will thank you. Don't trust anyone.

Then pay off my debts and help my immediate family; maybe splurge on a family vacation. The BF needs to go ASAP and all those so called friends should be distanced. OP should get herself a new car.

There's a professor of economics at the University of Denver who specializes in lottery winners (anything from $1scratch ticket to the powerball). Every time the big jackpots get big enough, she shows up on interviews on local TV/radio. She says the two most common things regardless of level of winning are #1)You will lose friends and family. People view it as free money you didn't earn so you have no right to deny giving it to them. When you do, they reject you. She tells the story of a woman who won $20 on a scratch ticket on the way to work. The day of her windfall she went out for drinks after work like she did every day and everyone assumed she'd pay the tab. When she just paid her part, they stopped inviting her. #2)More money does not change how you handle money in the medium to long term. If you were bad with money, frugal, generous, etc, you will be the same way the week after you win. You may pay off the house but if you were bad with money before you won, you may have nothing left the next year to pay the property taxes.

I’ve been with my partner for 3 1/2 years, we both have children from previous relationships and we live separately. If I won enough money to be able to finance property for my family or indeed if she did then you can bet your bottom dollar we’d be seeking financial advice. I have no right to anything she may win and vice versa. We both know that some luxury items would be bought eventually and that we’d both ensure that the other was able to be frivolous (within reason) but until the money has been correctly invested / advice has been sorted the money stays where it is. If I demanded anything then she’d rightly tell me to jog on, I’d afford her the same response if the roles were reversed!

Congratulations on your winning and also for having a good head on your shoulders! So many people blew millions of dollars of wind falls within a year or less and go back to the way they were. While it’s not wrong to spend some for fun, partying it up and spending unnecessarily isn’t wise. Be careful, your bf of 7 months could be your downfall if you’re not careful.

Looks like a potentially incomplete story to me. Do/did you live with your BF? Did you share finances at all prior to your win? Did he pay for parts of your life or relationship prior to your win? In the time period where you paid for the lottery ticket did your BF pay for any essentials for you? If the answers to any of the above are yes, then you likely are the AH ma'am. I just got to be logical while others just judge with completely partial info...

He want a Tesla? Sounds like a young boy, all right. A new car is only new for a very short time. The right question is to ask "will I care/appreciate that in 10 years? Will I feel the same in 20 years?'" Before buying something big. If the answer is no, then it's perhaps not important.
