Lotto winner ... Please be careful
It is common for lotto winners to have a life changing experience. You may have plans of having a vacation in some of the most beautiful cities or beaches, specially in Boracay or Plantation bay in Cebu. Or, perhaps you are planning to acquire some real estate properties, a condo or a big house or will buy the latest cellphone, or the latest laptop, or this and that, and those and all of those things you even don't need, just to satisfy yourself. Now, after winning the lotto, you must consider that you might be culture shocked with the sudden change in your lifestyle.
Of course, you deserve to spend the money that you have won on the things that you desire. But, remember that spending too much money might cause you to lose all those millions in a snap. So, you need to make sure that you have a good plan on how to spend your money to the effect of not losing them all.
You should also find out the ways to effectively safeguard your money so that you will not be victimized by people who have bad intentions for you and your millions.
Remember we are Filipinos, and we have some few friends and sometimes no relatives at all if we are poor. But if they knew you won the lotto jackpot, then all people will be your friends and relatives.
when people know that you have won the lotto, there will always be some persons that will take advantage of you or worst, steal your wealth from you.
My advice is to avoid broadcasting your success, remember the Antipolo lotto winner ? He enjoyed his money maybe for a month only and he was killed.
If you are an employee at a certain company, do not resign from your job immediately..... and do not engage in a sudden change of lifestyle.
Refrain from adhering to the advices of those who offer their services as financial advisers KUNO... because they are mostly after their welfare only and not yours.
So its not that easy having millions in your pocket, especially your security. Try to manage your money carefully in a way that you don't waste it. As far as I know, this windfall could only happen once in a lifetime. So Please be careful......
