Would you date and marry a lottery winner?

[D_Bone_Steak]

I don't care about money, so if the excess money has them acting retarded like poor people when they get their tax returns (or really poor people when they get paid at all), then hell no. That's a red flag and most of them go broke for real reasons and it has nothing to do with not getting privilege and a whole lot to do with them being sub-100 IQ level retarded with literally no foresight or strategy in life other than the here and now.

We all know them... they say YOLO because they can't remember how to say carpe diem, and instead of using the term in order to justify facing death in battle, they use it as a rationale to just have lots of fun instead of paying off their debts.

Being a lottery winner would not be the reason to marry someone first off if they were smart, they would take the winning over 30 years so less taxes to pay if they are not smart and take it all at once then they are to type to blow the winnings and have nothing before long then you are married to a dumb poor person

[MikeInHawaii]

Nope! A billion dollar prize and you can take $500 million up front and still have about $250 million up front. I own stocks that pay over an 8% dividend payout. Even at 5%, I’d have $12.5 million in dividends that would grow with inflation.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You mean just because they're a lottery winner? No! I wouldn't marry someone just for money...

And too, sometimes winning the lottery ends up being more trouble then what it was worth...

You ever see that show that shows lottery winners and how they still ended up broke after winning all that money..

[DizzyDesii]

If they make it publicly known, they’ll likely be targeted by thieves. I dont wanna get caught in that crossfire

[jennifer_bloom]

No, he would not know how to manage the money since it was given all at once.

[Prettygurl12]

If they were otherwise a good person, sure. The money is irrelevant.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Sure if I actually liked her (I'm not going to date or marry her just because she won the lottery though). Money is nice, but no amount of money is worth marrying the wrong person.

[ChrisBlue2120]

Of course.

She would probably give me an allowance and all the gifts I buy her would be paid for by her, lol.

[peacesncream]

No I wouldn't it's not good to use people for what they got karma is a bitch just like on theses social media now days certain people use to flirt for their lonely moments

[KelleyNice]

No! Perhaps if that was the one and only time he purchased a lottery ticket or if it was given to him. I wouldn't someone stupid enough to buy lottery tickets.

[MikeInHawaii]

It’s why about 80% will be flat broke within five years. A similar percentage of pro athletes will be broke and divorced within five years of retiring.

When I lived in states that had the lottery, I’d spend about $5 or $10 per year in tickets. For the weekly games, the expected rate of return is -50%. With the lottery, with the jackpot rolling over, it can get high enough for the expected rate of return to be positive.

The odds on Powerball are about 80 million to one. You cut the prize in half if you take the buyout rather than the 30 year annuity (the up front is the better option). So the ticket is actually worth the odds if the jackpot is over about $320 million, around $600 million if you factor in taxes, and probably closer to a billion if you factor in the possibility of multiple winners.

I might spend a few million on a house (mostly for the land, beach front in Hawaii is $5 million to $15 million an acre), I’d eat steak more often, I might not even buy a new car, but I would get my Honda repainted. The rest would just go to stocks with dividend payout ratios above 5%.

@MikeInHawaii From what I have read, "Poor people have poor ways." If a poor person wins $20,000, that is more than they ever had and they think they are rich. And, they have to show off and play the big shot so in 3 months the money is gone. Perhaps they lent half to friends and family that will never pay them back or cosigned on loans from family that can't pay what they borrowed. That is when they discover they were worse off, than if they hadn't won the money because they earned too much to collect the food stamps and perhaps other welfare they were receiving.

[MikeInHawaii]

Another variation of “poor people have poor ways” is “The rich get richer because they continue to do the things that made them rich. The poor get poorer because they continue to do the things that made them poor.”

I’ve also heard that people who get windfalls often spend them twice. The spend borrowed money in anticipation of the windfall, then spend it again rather than repaying the debts.

I used to live in Memphis, one of the poorest big cities in the nation. If FedEx relocated to Little Rock and Graceland burned down, Memphis might as well cease to exist. About seventy miles south was Tunica Mississippi, the second largest gambling destination in the US. Want to guess what their busiest time of the year was?

[Adam1978]

I don't see how that is relevant. I would not include or exclude anyone depending on that fact. I am not dating people to try to milk them from money.

[Guy13]

Once she went through 3/4 of it and realized Stuff does not feel that gaping and empty space inside...

[FinalFantasyBro]

Would we be share any compatibilities or anything, I don't care how much money she makes if I can't find any common interests that wouldn't be a healthy relationship, I ain't a guy gold digger.

[RoulOB]

I would date first, only if she won in the past and she's done with playing lottery.

[Anonymous]

Only if we both are liking each other. No intentions of using her for money. I hate gold diggers.

[XXblack88]

Yes if I like him like that sure. But I wouldn't date/marry him just cause he's a lottery winner.

[slatyb]

Of course. Why not.

MacKenzie Bezos married a school teacher.

[Avicenna]

If she fit my dating requirements (and managing money well is one of them)

[babyyyxxx]

Depends on there personality they could have all the money in the world and be an awful person money isn't everything

[Pudsmucker]

Why not I probably would if I was single. Money is not everything it can create more problems than you can expect. It is fun speculating.

[Anonymous]

No I would only marry a guy I loved, not a guy based on his bank balance.

[Blueeyes81]

If we clicked and there was attraction, sure. If not than no.

[Anonymous]

Sure why not? My current boyfriend plays weekly but never wins… lottery winner would not be the reason I date him though

[MikeInHawaii]

Stick with him. If he plays Powerball weekly, he should win about once every 1.6 million years!

[Opinion Owner]

@MikeInHawaii well if $5-$10 a week is his worst vice I can live with it… some people spend $8 on a pack of smokes 🤷‍♀️

[MikeInHawaii]

In Hawaii, Marlboros are $11.37, or $11.91 per day. I checked last week. To prove a point to some young smokers, I’m going to put an mount equal to a daily pack of cigarettes, currently about $370 per month, into stock in Phillip Morris, Altria, and British Tobacco with dividend reinvestment.

[TacosRAwesome]

If he fit my husband requirements.

[Raaj4you]

What are your requirements?

[TacosRAwesome]

@Raaj4you loyal, sweet, sometimes sassy, active, mostly healthy.

[Iron_Man]

Sure as long as she didn’t dump me over Greed

[Bratsondanielle]

I don't see why not

[Literalbillionaire17]

Yeah. But only if I like them for them. To me money is not worth it if you have to deal with an asshole all the time 😂 especially if it’s only like $1 mil

[Raaj4you]

What If he is richer than you?

[Literalbillionaire17]

Yeah I would but still I would have not like him

[Literalbillionaire17]

*have to like him

[FictionalCharacter]

How would that happen?

[Raaj4you]

Just assume, If a guy wins a lottery. Will you date him?

[FictionalCharacter]

Wouldn’t he think I’m using him?

[Raaj4you]

Yes but what if he is seriously looking for marriage and start a family?

[FictionalCharacter]

I doubt that.
Sounds like a interesting question you might want to ask guys.

[Nikki1989]

I don't care about money.

[QuietVerbena]

Sure. Why not?

[SandyBeaches]

In a heart beat.

[LogicalGal123]

Nope. It's not all about the money.

[bigpauly]

Yea that wouldn’t stop me lol

[LimitedBenefits101]

Vast majority of women will

[JesseJayNeak]

No. I want to make my own money

[PrinceEazy]

If I won... Yes.


She :: NO.

[leighbee]

If I love them, yes.

[Drumlin2001]

Yes.

[BLP11520]

Yes sure
