Mark Gardiner Lotto Winner
Mark Gardiner won a record prize of £ 11 million and believed that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his customary problems vanished, he got into new ones that he was not trained for or capable of handling. Mark won the jackpot with friend and business partner Paul Maddison. Together the two of them won a record £ 22 million and Mark got his share of £ 11 million. Paul shunned the limelight and faded into the background — but Mark decided to have some fun.
Before he could understand it, Mark blew half of his winnings. Even as Mark bought expensive cars and houses, gave to friends and relatives, married and then divorced, his problems never seemed to end. His family disowned him just as if he had committed a crime. Finally he regained his bearings and is now wiser and remarried to his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, whom he had divorced when he was penniless.
Happily, however, not all stories are as heart breaking as the one mentioned above. There have been very many people who have made good on their fortune and remained grounded. Ianthe Fullagar, just a student, won an astonishing £ 7,055,142. After screaming in disbelief she settled down and called her boyfriend and family and shared the news with them. Ianthe intends to share her new found wealth with her near ones and continues to pursue her studies in law school. The only new thing she planned to buy was a new car.
One anonymous winner donated all his winnings of $3 million to his church without batting an eye. The church has decided to expand to accommodate the growing congregation and donate some of the money to charities.
The point is, as a lotto winner you are suddenly in a fortunate position to do a lot of good for yourself and for those around you. Your community stands to benefit as well — if you maintain a cool head and spend the money wisely.
