bloomberg catches the subway everyday and he is one of the richest men in the world
I get the feeling if she could do it all over again, she would prefer to have the Escalade with the turntables.
guess everyone overlooked the line where she said she is happier now
You can't really be that stupid....

damn.
who couldn't see that her new found fortune would not end well.
Before her win, Tirabassi had been living in an east Hamilton apartment with her three kids at the time, each from a different father.
Her husband, Vinny, 35, has another three kids from a previous relationship.

really?All that I can say is WOW...
cos all I can say is fucking stupid bitch!
ten mill, ten fucking million... KMT!!
that shits a burden man. Imagine the daily hassles, the people she had to let go of-friends/family she lost, beggers, expectations, people counting her money...winning sounds good & we all dream of it, but there's a downside to that shit that most people can't handle. Literally having to seclude yourself just to escape the bullshit other people bring to your door. Its a gift & a curse

...and you believe that bullshit, huh?

Yep.
I actually think some of these people just want to get rid of the money (or make others believe they have) due to all of the baggage that comes along with it.
She only needs a part time job. Thats a win right there. Her kids have money in a trust. She has some nice memories and experiences. IT couldve been better, but it couldve also been alot worse.
I'm actually more shocked when people actually KEEP most of their winnings!! Look at the ones who play the lotto. The vast majority are people wishing on a star to escape their circumstances, with very low personal finance IQ. They think of all the things they can SPEND those millions on 
. Right away you can tell that's the wrong mentality.
At least they had it for a while, I stay on the poverty line

When Billie Bob Harrell Jr. won $31 million in the Texas lottery back in 1997, he was a former Pentecoastal preacher working as a bag boy in a Home Depot. The win seemed, for lack of a better term, heaven-sent, but the outcome was hardly that.
He bought himself a few things, like a home and cars and things of that nature, but he ended up loaning out a lot of his money to so-called friends and family who came out of the woodwork upon hearing of his newfound riches. No surprise, he never received any of the money back, and he was broke within two years. Sadly, Harrell committed suicide in 1999, only 20 months after initially winning the lottery. Hopefully his "friends and family" feel some guilt about it..
William "Bud" Post was unfortunately the victim of the common phenomenon that lottery winners have to go through: Family members coming out of the woodwork assuming that they are entitled to a chunk of the cash that was won for no reason other than that they are related.
When Post won $16.2 million in the lottery, his girlfriend sued him for some of his winnings, actually winning her case. His brother attempted to hire a hitman to kill him so that he could get the money for himself—it was unsuccessful, but still, hello crazy. His other siblings persuaded him to make bad investments that left him $1 million in debt and living off social security checks at the time of his death. Makes you question your loyalty to the people you call "family."
Micheal Carroll won $15.5 million (£9.7 million) in the London lotto, but in just eight years, he blew through it.
What did he spend his money on? Drugs, gambling, and prostitutes.
Now, Carroll is living off unemployment checks, which give him about $67 (£42) per week.

Who doesn't catch a bus in NY? He is in NY right?

That's what they all say.
Some people just aren't meant to be rich and stay rich.
If I was ever fortunate to have something like that happen to me, I would continue working. That's the difference between people like me and people like the woman in the article.
Rather than worrying about maintaining a 9 to 5 to pay the bills, you can finally give that movie script you've been pondering your full attention; the book you've been wanting to write; buying a franchise or starting your own; learning to play a musical instrument; finally learning to speak the Chinese language fluently; or pursue that acting career full-time because you can afford not to have a day job.
You now have an extra forty hours to do whatever the fuck you want.
Some people will use it productively.
Others won't. Thus, they will spend money carelessly out of boredom.

I think its bigger than that - just imagine the amount of stress she had going from hood rat to millionare - you feel like you owe everybody something and support. She's essentially just glad that it's over now and people will just leaver her alone. All of a sudden all her friends became leachers instantly.
I've always said I need a strong support group when I win because I'm going completely ignorant

I always said If I won first thing Id do is get a financial advisor. I'd get more than one and cross reference their "advice"....
Shit, she would have struggled way less living off the interest.

I guess that is normal. Unless you can come up with a way to make the money grow faster than you spend it, and escape your family because that is where the real pressure is. Your money will go.
The lottery is now $320 million.
I'm buying a plane and equipping it with the factory capabilities to make a baby plane on it.
your sarcasm is hilarious
Most CEOs...they have drivers or copters

One of the first words you learn as a child is the word NO! One syllable, very easy to remember, easy to say...
I'd rather revert to infancy than to be broke to be happy... Shit, I'm not a multi-millionaire yet, but I have already perfected the art of saying the word NO...

Foul.
Do you know most CEO's in NYC to say that this is absolute truth???

Know them? No. Places I've worked with headquarters in NYC/NJ have their CEOs in Manhattan condos & Connecticut homes w/ drivers. I asked why, I've been told its par for the course for Fortune 500 companies.
This is the right idea. If you're busy doing shit, you're too busy to fuck away the money. I'd keep my current job for a while (realistically I'm gonna go do other shit at some point). I actually like my job. Maybe not love, but I don't loathe going to work.
At minimum tho, I've always said I'll buy some shit that I don't "need," but at least umma OWN the shit outright. I'm not getting stuff that comes with payments.
