Lottery Winners Life Changed

Brad Duke won $220 million back in 2005 with the Powerball lottery. He stated that It took more than a couple of days, actually a few weeks, for the magnitude of what his win meant for him and his family. He decided not to tell anyone about his win initially and went through his daily routines as usual so he would have time to figure out what he wanted to do next with all of his money. He did not go on a spending spree like many other lottery winners do right out of the gate.  He stated stayed in his house, drove a used car for almost three years after winning.  Instead of fantasizing about what he could do with the money he decided to himself grounded. You see, he knew that anywhere from five to six winners out of ten ultimately go broke within five years of being on a spending cycle.

It was important for him to set some goals in order to grow his wealth. He acquired the advice of both a specialized tax attorney and a professional business attorney. Duke decided to also seek the advice of a publicist in order to gain as much focus on what he would do next. You see, while he continued to work his old job for almost another two years, he received so many solicitations for money from people with ideas that included time machines and flying cars. It got so time-consuming that he stopped promoting himself. He just went back to focusing on growing his fortune. He did eventually spend some money. As an avid cyclist, he purchased a fleet of high-end mountain bikes that he uses today. He continues to grow his fortune from the advice of his attorneys and CPA.
