I'm sure we all have heard this before: A fool and his money soon part company!

 

[Nick250]

I used to be friends with a guy that blew around $750,000 in a month and now has nothing to show for it. He actually has less now than he did before he got the money. He is stupid and I despise him with the utmost intensity.

That's pretty strong feelings directed towards this guy. How did the blow the money? I would have a hard time blowing than much money in a month with nothing to show for it unless I got crazy at a casino.

$13mil was the larget lotto payout?? I thought the largets was 300+?

I imagine as soon as you win taxes take a 1/3 of it, then your divorce will cost the half you keep. But thats still alot of money left out of several million.

According to aol news this payout was the largest single win payout in history where nobody else matched any numbers at all,the 13 million was after tax net.

My wife said she saw some ignorant episode of maury or sally where the whole show was devoted to 3 tooth morons who won huge cash amounts then were broke very quickly,she said quite a few of em even ended up back on welfare

There should be a law to where after you win a lottery you are never again elligable for food stamps or any other state aid

He was 19 when he received the money from a settlement of the high school's insurance company. He didn't have control of the money and wouldn't untill he turned 21. His mom, who is also an idiot, had her name on the account. For any transactions with the money to occur the bank whould need both of their signatures.

The kid started acting crazy, this was typical of him, and his parents told him to pack up his stuff and get out. He moved to live with his grandparents in Arizona as they had agreed to take him in untill he turned 21. He had a job working in a Wal-Mart wharehouse getting respectable pay and hours. He had a white Ford Tempo that was in prestine condition, because of the climate mostly.

The kid got worried his mother would claim that he was insane and was unfit to have the money in his control, so he did something stupid. He went to a lawyer with $500 dollars asking for some help in gaining complete control of the money. I am sure the lawyer was sniggering to himself at this instant thinking "sucker born every minute". Of course the lawyer helped him get the money, just not all of it. You lose a certain amount to the Bank and to the Lawyer I am sure. I have a feeling that he got around half of the money, maybe less than that.

He came back up to Indiana and bought a $30,000 home, a brand new Mustang GT, and a Dodge Rumble Bee (sports version of the RAM, compares to Ford Lightning and such). He then began writing fraudulant checks and lost everything he had bought. He also lost the Ford Tempo because he failed the change the plates from Arizona plates to Indiana. It got impounded and he had no money to get it out. He also got a 16 year old pregnant and has been in jail a few times. It is believed he is living with his parents again.

I am not sure if you can get any dumber than that.

Yup, you're right it was 300 million plus, I think it was called the "powerball".

Here in Florida I believe we had a 42 million, can't remember.

Come on Seth, this is from Jerry Springer!

At least he bought a house. (of course $30,000 won't buy a garage today).

If I had $1mil coming to me, put $50k cash into a saddlebag and hit the road for a year while the $950k sat in some mutual funds (I figure most of the vultures will lose intrest after 12 months).

I guess if you had that kind of money anything is possible!! I was only making a point that in order to get a ENZO, first you must be a previous or current owner. Secondly there was no preferential treatment given, just a waiting list! So if I was lucky enough to own one I could sell it to my namesake?

The Enzo isn't even that great. The Ariel Atom nearly beat it on Top Gear, and it's only 45000 US. Powered by a supercharged civic Type R motor.

Honda what!

I'd like to destory General Motors, just so I could rub Honda dirt in their face.

I wish, but unfortunetely I want to kill the guy for being so stupid. I have thought to myself on many occasions what I would have done if I had the money, it makes me sick to think that I could have a house, respectable car, and the ability to pay for my education straight up, but no a person with a lower IQ than a caveman from the stone age had the money and squandered it in one month approximately.

Is that a production car?!?!
That thing is a go-cart on crack!!!
I want one.
But not something I would want to die in. The Enzo just looks like a fun death.

Edit: After watching the video on the link you gave for Top Gear (video is on youtube), I have changed my opinion on that car. That thing is intense and could provide a fun death.

It reminds me of a Lotus Super Seven if you are old enough to know what there are. Probably the same design goals but 40 years back in time.

Top Gear is the best car show in the English language. Not ony would it kill every other weekend-afternoon car show, it could probably take-down a prime-time sitcom or two. Thats why it was only broadcast in the US for a few days....... conspiracy!

Top Gear Highlights:
*Attempting to destroy a Toyota truck
*Building a kit-car
*Corvette Z06 outrunning its own burning gasoline
*Caravaning! ("Campers" in america)
*The 'Stig' (Its been said his first name really is 'The')

I bet you, I'd get more chicks with the Enzo! Now that would be a good way to go. On second though, my wife would kill me.

Hey Sheep, how about those Canucks.
